Subject: RE: [PATCH 07/12] qla2xxx: Convert to host_lock less w/ interrupts
	disabled externally

All,

We had (internally @ QLogic) come up with a couple of patches (attached).

Patch 1: Similar to the patch from NAB and from Mathew Wilcox
Patch 2: A bit more changes with the host_lost within the qla2xxx driver.

The above 2 patches have gone through some testing as well, so far so good. Please take a look and let us know.

Cheers,
Madhu

Ok, this patch is functioning with LTP disktest I/O using .37-rc6
initiator side lock_less operation.

This has been added as an incremental patch for lock_less-LLDs-for-38-v3
here:

commit 355798dc3d97a0f07b14d1f3891ecca1802c9094
Author: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>
Date:   Mon Dec 20 01:24:12 2010 -0800

    qla2xxx: Convert qla2xxx driver to run without the shost lock
    
    This patch converts qla2xxx LLD code to run in fully lock-less mode
    and removes IRQ_DISABLE_SCSI_QCMD usage.  This also includes a handful
    of cleanups for cmd->scsi_done assignment removal from qla2x00_get_new_sp()
    and renames one goto of the exception patch with the '_lock' suffix in
    qla2xxx_queuecommand().
    
    So far this patch has been lightly tested with basic I/O functionality on
    bare-metal x86_64 .37-rc6 using ISP-2532 8 Gb/sec HW.
