smartpqi man page updates
v2 cover smartpqi man page updates
These patches are based the man page content found ingit://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/man-pages/man-pages.git
The Linux man page smartpqi.4 is out-of-date with the man page provided by our out-of-box driver. This patch series brings the Linux man page up to date.
The changes are:
smarpqi-update-copyright-and-email-addresses
The copyright, email, and URLs have changed to Microchip.
smartpqi-update-module-parameter-descriptions
We changed some descriptions of some of our module parameters. Clarifies what their default values are.
smartpqi-add-module-parameter_disable_managed_interrupts
We added a new module parameter to allow users to disable how interrupts are managed allowing them to change affinity.
smartpqi-add-module-parameter_ctrl_ready_timeout
We added a new module parameter to allow users to change how
long the driver waits for the controller becomes ready. The
default is 180 seconds and can be changed from 30-1800 seconds.
The longer wait times are useful for large configurations.
smartpqi-update_FILES_section
Minor change to the FILES section. The word "Logical" was changed to "Disk" since HBA disks are also supported.
smartpqi-update-host-attribute-descriptions
Updated the descriptions of existing host attributes accessed through sysfs.
smartpqi-update-device-attribute-descriptions
Updated the descriptions of existing device attributes accessed through sysfs.
smartpqi-add-host-attributes
We added some new host attributes:
enable_stream_detection: For RAID5/6 sequential write operations, this
can help increase IOPS. Reduces Read/Modify/Write operations. This is for AIO capable devices. (Volumes consisting of non-rotating media).
enable_r5_writes: Send down RAID 5 write operations down the AIO path.
enable_r6_writes: Send down RAID 6 write operations down the AIO path.
smartpqi-add-device-attributes
We added some new device attributes:
lunid - SCSI LUN ID
unique_id - 16-byte ID that uniquely identifies the device within the controller. path_info - Host:Bus:Target:Lun (h:b:t:l), device type, Active/Inactive raid_bypass_cnt - Count of the number of request sent down the AIO path. sas_ncq_prio_enable - Enables SATA NCQ priority support.
smartpqi-add-sg-entry-to-see_also
Simple addition of the sg(4) driver to the SEE ALSO section.
