Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] smartpqi: add host attributes
Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2023 14:54:03 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231002195404.153182-5-don.brace@microchip.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231002195404.153182-1-don.brace@microchip.com>
Add in some host level sysfs entries:
enable_stream_detection - Send RAID 5/6 writes down the normal I/O path.
Allow for full-stripe write requests.
ssd_smart_path_enabled - Indicates that our Accelerated I/O path is
enabled. (AIO).
enable_r5_writes - Allow RAID 5 write operations down the AIO path.
enable_r6_writes - Allow RAID 6 write operations down the AIO path.
