    scsi: lpfc: Add auto EQ delay logic · 0cf07f84
    James Smart authored
    Administrator intervention is currently required to get good numbers
    when switching from running latency tests to IOPS tests.
    
    The configured interrupt coalescing values will greatly effect the
    results of these tests.  Currently, the driver has a single coalescing
    value set by values of the module attribute.  This patch changes the
    driver to support auto-configuration of the coalescing value based on
    the total number of outstanding IOs and average number of CQEs processed
    per interrupt for an EQ.  Values are checked every 5 seconds.
    
    The driver defaults to the automatic selection. Automatic selection can
    be disabled by the new lpfc_auto_imax module_parameter.
    
    Older hardware can only change interrupt coalescing by mailbox
    command. Newer hardware supports change via a register. The patch
    support both.
