Subject: [PATCH v2 09/18] scsi-multipath: add scsi_mpath_get_nr_active()
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 11:14:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260428111447.1779062-10-john.g.garry@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260428111447.1779062-1-john.g.garry@oracle.com>
Add scsi_mpath_get_nr_active() for calculating the number of active
requests associated with an mpath_device. This is required for queue
depth multipath iopolicy.
For NVMe, this count is per controller. The reason is that many NSes may
be connected to a controller, so congestion should be judged at
controller level.
SCSI has no definition of a controller, but SCSI host is a comparable
concept.
Indeed, many SCSI disks may be connected to the same SCSI host, so it
makes sense to count number of active requests at this point. However,
for a transport like iSCSI Initiator over TCP/IP, we have a separate SCSI
host per SCSI device (so there the count would be same at SCSI device
level).
