[SCSI] fcoe: allow SCSI-FCP to be processed directly in softirq context
Allow FCP frames to bypass the FCoE receive processing threads and handle them directly in softirq context, if they are received on the correct CPU. This preserves the queuing to threads for scaling out receive processing to multiple CPUs, but allows FCoE-aware multi-queue network drivers that direct frames to the originating CPUs to handle FCP processing with less scheduling latency. Only FCP is handled directly, because libfc makes use of mutexes in ELS handling routines. The bulk of this change is just moving the FCoE receive processing out of the receive thread function, leaving behind just the thread and queue management. The interesting bits are in fcoe_rcv() Signed-off-by: Chris Leech <christopher.leech@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de>
