Merge patch series "Optimize the hot path in the UFS driver"

Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> says:

Hi Martin,

This patch series optimizes the hot path of the UFS driver by making
struct scsi_cmnd and struct ufshcd_lrb adjacent. Making these two data
structures adjacent is realized as follows:

@@ -9040,6 +9046,7 @@ static const struct scsi_host_template ufshcd_driver_template = {
     .name           = UFSHCD,
     .proc_name      = UFSHCD,
     .map_queues     = ufshcd_map_queues,
+    .cmd_size       = sizeof(struct ufshcd_lrb),
     .init_cmd_priv  = ufshcd_init_cmd_priv,
     .queuecommand   = ufshcd_queuecommand,
     .mq_poll        = ufshcd_poll,

The following changes had to be made prior to making these two data
structures adjacent:
* Add support for driver-internal and reserved commands in the SCSI core.
* Instead of making the reserved command slot (hba->reserved_slot)
  invisible to the SCSI core, let the SCSI core allocate a reserved command.
* Remove all UFS data structure members that are no longer needed
  because struct scsi_cmnd and struct ufshcd_lrb are now adjacent
* Call ufshcd_init_lrb() from inside the code for queueing a command instead of
  calling this function before I/O starts. This is necessary because
  ufshcd_memory_alloc() allocates fewer instances than the block layer
  allocates requests. See also the following code in the block layer
  core:

    if (blk_mq_init_request(set, hctx->fq->flush_rq, hctx_idx,
                hctx->numa_node))

  Although the UFS driver could be modified such that ufshcd_init_lrb()
  is called from ufshcd_init_cmd_priv(), realizing this would require
  moving the memory allocations that happen from inside
  ufshcd_memory_alloc() into ufshcd_init_cmd_priv(). That would make
  this patch series even larger. Although ufshcd_init_lrb() is called for each
  command, the benefits of reduced indirection and better cache efficiency
  outweigh the small overhead of per-command lrb initialization.
* ufshcd_add_scsi_host() happens now before any device management
  commands are submitted. This change is necessary because this patch
  makes device management command allocation happen when the SCSI host
  is allocated.
* Allocate as many command slots as the host controller supports. Decrease
  host->cmds_per_lun if necessary once it is clear whether or not the UFS
  device supports less command slots than the host controller.

Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.

Thanks,

Bart.
