Re: [PATCH v2 0/5] ibmvfc: MQ preparatory locking work

From: "Martin K. Petersen" <martin.petersen@oracle.com>

Also in: linux-scsi, lkml

Tyrel,
The ibmvfc driver in its current form relies heavily on the
host_lock. This patchset introduces a genric queue with its own queue
lock and sent/free event list locks. This generic queue allows the
driver to decouple the primary queue and future subordinate queues
from the host lock reducing lock contention while also relaxing
locking for submissions and completions to simply the list lock of the
queue in question.
Applied to 5.12/scsi-staging, thanks!
