similar to: [PATCH 1/1] scsi: virtio_scsi: remove unused 'affinity_hint_set'

This patch implements the hotplug support for virtio-scsi. When there is a device attached/detached, the virtio-scsi driver will be signaled via event virtual queue and it will add/remove the scsi device in question automatically. v2: handle no_event event v3: add handle event dropped, and typo fix Signed-off-by: Sen Wang <senwang at linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Cong Meng <mc at

vscsi->num_queues counts the number of request virtqueue which does not include the control and event virtqueue. It is wrong to subtract VIRTIO_SCSI_VQ_BASE from vscsi->num_queues. This patch fixes the following panic.

This series implements virtio-scsi queue steering, which gives performance improvements of up to 50% (measured both with QEMU and tcm_vhost backends). The patches build on top of the new virtio APIs at http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.virtualization/18431; the new API simplifies the locking of the virtio-scsi driver nicely, thus it makes sense to require them as a prerequisite.

This series implements virtio-scsi queue steering, which gives performance improvements of up to 50% (measured both with QEMU and tcm_vhost backends). This version rebased on Rusty's virtio ring rework patches. We hope this can go into virtio-next together with the virtio ring rework pathes. V5: improving the grammar of 1/5 (Paolo) move the dropping of sg_elems to 'virtio-scsi: use

Install the callbacks via the state machine. The driver supports multiple instances and therefore the new cpuhp_state_add_instance_nocalls() infrastrucure is used. The driver currently uses get_online_cpus() to avoid missing a CPU hotplug event while invoking virtnet_set_affinity(). This could be avoided by using cpuhp_state_add_instance() variant which holds the hotplug lock and invokes callback

Hi all, this series adds multiqueue support to the virtio-scsi driver, based on Jason Wang's work on virtio-net. It uses a simple queue steering algorithm that expects one queue per CPU. LUNs in the same target always use the same queue (so that commands are not reordered); queue switching occurs when the request being queued is the only one for the target. Also based on Jason's
