Current driver uses fixed number of Inbound and Outbound queues and all of
the I/O, TMF and internal requests are submitted through those. A global
spin lock is used to control the shared access. This can create a lock
contention and it is real bottleneck in the I/O path.

To avoid this, the number of supported Inbound and Outbound queues is
increased to 64, and the number of queues used is decided based on number
of CPU cores online and number of MSI-X vectors allocated. Also add locks
per queue instead of using the global lock.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
