Chandrakanth Patil 299ee42615 scsi: megaraid_sas: Introduce various Aero performance modes
For Aero adapters, driver provides three different performance modes
controlled through module parameter named 'perf_mode'. Below are those
performance modes:

 0: Balanced - Additional high IOPS reply queues will be enabled along with
    low latency queues. Interrupt coalescing will be enabled only for these
    high IOPS reply queues.

 1: IOPS - No additional high IOPS queues are enabled. Interrupt coalescing
    will be enabled on all reply queues.

 2: Latency - No additional high IOPS queues are enabled. Interrupt
    coalescing will be disabled on all reply queues. This is a legacy
    behavior similar to Ventura & Invader Series.

Default performance mode settings:

 - Performance mode set to 'Balanced', if Aero controller is working in
   16GT/s PCIe speed.

 - Performance mode will be set to 'Latency' mode for all other cases.

Through module parameter 'perf_mode', user can override default performance
mode to desired one.

Captured some performance numbers with these performance modes.  4k Random
Read IO performance numbers on 24 SAS SSD drives for above three
performance modes. Performance data is from Intel Skylake and HGST SS300
(drive model SDLL1DLR400GCCA1).

IOPS:
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  |perf_mode    | qd = 1 | qd = 64 |   note                             |
  |-------------|--------|---------|-------------------------------------
  |balanced     |  259K  |  3061k  | Provides max performance numbers   |
  |             |        |         | both on lower QD workload &        |
  |             |        |         | also on higher QD workload         |
  |-------------|--------|---------|-------------------------------------
  |iops         |  220K  |  3100k  | Provides max performance numbers   |
  |             |        |         | only on higher QD workload.        |
  |-------------|--------|---------|-------------------------------------
  |latency      |  246k  |  2226k  | Provides good performance numbers  |
  |             |        |         | only on lower QD worklaod.         |

README

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.
