scsi: lpfc: Allow override of hardware queue selection policies
Default behavior is to use the information from the upper IO stacks to select the hardware queue to use for IO submission. Which typically has good cpu affinity. However, the driver, when used on some variants of the upstream kernel, has found queuing information to be suboptimal for FCP or IO completion locked on particular cpus. For command submission situations, the lpfc_fcp_io_sched module parameter can be set to specify a hardware queue selection policy that overrides the os stack information. For IO completion situations, rather than queing cq processing based on the cpu servicing the interrupting event, schedule the cq processing on the cpu associated with the hardware queue's cq.

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.
