open-iscsi and multiqueue

2009-11-04 Thread Erez Zilber

Mike,

Can open-iscsi utilize the multiqueue feature
(http://lwn.net/Articles/289137/) in order to improve performance? If
yes, does it require any change in open-iscsi? Did you try to measure
the performance improvement?

Thanks,
Erez

I am not sure about any of the above :) People have been sending 
questions about multi queue (there is tx multiqueue like in the link you 
provided and recv multiqueue too right) and also DCB/DCBX in private and 
at work, and I have only begun to start to try it out.

My initial quess was that we can take advantage of multiqueue without 
any changes when using software iscsi. I thought the network layer would 
handle things for us like it would any other net traffic that uses the 
sendpage/sendmsg interface.

For partial offload like with cxgb3i and bnx2i, I am not sure. They both 
use different interfaces into the net driver/card.
