Subject[PATCH 0/2] nvme-pic: improve max I/O queue handling
Date
Hi,

while searching for a bug around zPCI + NVMe IRQ handling on a distro
kernel, I got confused around handling of the maximum number
of I/O queues in the NVMe driver.
I think I groked it in the end but would like to propose the following
improvements, that said I'm quite new to this code.
I tested both patches on s390x (with a debug config) and x86_64 so
with both data center and consumer NVMes.
For the second patch, since I don't own a device with the quirk, I tried
always returning 1 from nvme_max_io_queues() and confirmed that on my
Evo 970 Pro this resulted in about half the performance in a fio test
but did not otherwise break things. I couldn't find a reason why
allocating only the I/O queues we actually use would be problematic in
the code either but I might have missed something of course.

Best regards,
Niklas Schnelle
