[SCSI] hpsa: allow user to disable accelerated i/o path
Allow SSD Smart Path for a controller to be disabled by
the user, regardless of settings in controller firmware
or array configuration.
To disable: echo 0 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host<id>/acciopath_status
To re-enable: echo 1 > /sys/class/scsi_host/host<id>/acciopath_status
To check state: cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host<id>/acciopath_status

SSD Smart Path, when enabled permits the driver to + send i/o requests directly to physical devices that are part + of a logical drive, bypassing the controllers firmware RAID + stack for a performance advantage when possible. A value of + '1' indicates the feature is enabled, and the controller may + use the direct i/o path to physical devices. A value of zero + means the feature is disabled and the controller may not use + the direct i/o path to physical devices. This setting is + controller wide, affecting all configured logical drives on the + controller. This file is readable and writable. |
