Subject: [PATCH v1 05/10] mpi3mr: Fix performance regression caused by extended IRQ poll sleep
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 17:11:04 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626114109.43685-6-ranjan.kumar@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626114109.43685-1-ranjan.kumar@broadcom.com>
Commit 24d7071d9645 ("scsi: mpi3mr: A performance fix") increased the
threaded IRQ poll sleep range from 2-20 us to 20-21 us to work around a
timer slack issue.
On kernels unaffected by the timer slack issue, the longer sleep interval
reduces reply queue processing efficiency and causes an approximately 7%
throughput regression on NVMe direct-attached RAID10 configurations.
Restore the IRQ poll sleep range to 2-20 us to recover the lost
throughput.
Fixes: 24d7071d9645 ("scsi: mpi3mr: A performance fix")
