Subject: [PATCH v7 0/8] Raid: enable talitos xor offload for improving performance
Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2012 16:19:35 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344500375-8457-1-git-send-email-qiang.liu@freescale.com> (raw)
Hi all,
The following 8 patches enabling fsl-dma and talitos offload raid
operations for improving raid performance and balancing CPU load.
These patches include talitos, fsl-dma and carma module (caram uses
some features of fsl-dma).
Write performance will be improved by 25-30% tested by iozone.
Write performance is improved about 2% after using spin_lock_bh replace
spin_lock_irqsave.
CPU load will be reduced by 8%.
"fwiw, I gave v5 a test-drive, setting up a RAID5 array on ramdisks
[1], and this patchseries, along with FSL_DMA && NET_DMA set seems
to be holding water, so this series gets my:"

[1] mdadm --create --verbose --force /dev/md0 --level=raid5 --raid-devices=4 \
/dev/ram[0123]
Changes in v7:
- add test result which is provided by Kim Phillips;
- correct one coding style issue in patch 5/8;
- add comments by Arnd Bergmann in patch 6/8;
Changes in v6:
- swap the order of original patch 3/6 and 4/6;
- merge Ira's patch to reduce the size of original patch;
- merge Ira's patch of carma in 8/8;
- update documents and descriptions according to Ira's advice;
Changes in v5:
- add detail description in patch 3/6 about the process of completed
descriptor, the process is in align with fsl-dma Reference Manual,
illustrate the potential risk and how to reproduce it;
- drop the patch 7/7 in v4 according to Timur's comments;
Changes in v4:
- fix an error in talitos when dest addr is same with src addr, dest
should be freed only one time if src is same with dest addr;
- correct coding style in fsl-dma according to Ira's comments;
- fix a race condition in fsl-dma fsl_tx_status(), remove the interface
which is used to free descriptors in queue ld_completed, this interface
has been included in fsldma_cleanup_descriptor(), in v3, there is one
place missed spin_lock protect;
- split the original patch 3/4 up to 2 patches 3/7 and 4/7 according to
Li Yang's comments;
- fix a warning of unitialized cookie;
- add memory copy self test in fsl-dma;
- add more detail description about use spin_lock_bh() to instead of
spin_lock_irqsave() according to Timur's comments.
Changes in v3:
- change release process of fsl-dma descriptor for resolve the
potential race condition;
- add test result when use spin_lock_bh replace spin_lock_irqsave;
- modify the benchmark results according to the latest patch.
Changes in v2:
- rebase onto cryptodev tree;
- split the patch 3/4 up to 3 independent patches;
- remove the patch 4/4, the fix is not for cryptodev tree;
Qiang Liu (8):
Talitos: Support for async_tx XOR offload
fsl-dma: remove attribute DMA_INTERRUPT of dmaengine
fsl-dma: add fsl_dma_free_descriptor() to reduce code duplication
fsl-dma: move functions to avoid forward declarations
fsl-dma: change release process of dma descriptor for supporting async_tx
fsl-dma: use spin_lock_bh to instead of spin_lock_irqsave
fsl-dma: fix a warning of unitialized cookie
carma: remove unnecessary DMA_INTERRUPT capability
