Performance improvement using block layer tag. Curent driver gets scsiio tracker and free smid from link list and array based tracking managed by driver. Accessing list in main io path is performance pentaly because of protection using spinlock "scsi_lookup_lock". In this patch: 1. Driver removes all link list access from main io path and use scmd->request->tag to get free smid. 2. Instead of holding 'struct scsiio_tracker' in its own pool driver can embed it into the scsi command. Driver provides cmd_size in scsi_host_template, so that struct scsiio_tracker is preallocated by scsi mid layer for each scsi command.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
