    mtip32xx: avoid to read HOST_CAP from HW in .queue_rq() · 8a05aa4c
    Ming Lei authored
    It is observed reading the register from HW takes a bit long,
    for example in my box, the following difference of 'perf report
    --no-children fio ...' can be seen when running I/O:
    
    1) V4.12 without patch
    +    9.28%       fio  [mtip32xx]           [k] mtip_irq_handler
    +    8.48%       fio  [mtip32xx]           [k] mtip_init_cmd_header
    
    2) V4.12 with the following patch
    +    9.14%       fio  [mtip32xx]           [k] mtip_irq_handler
    ......
    +    1.14%       fio  [mtip32xx]           [k] mtip_init_cmd_header
    
    IOPS can be increased by ~5% with this patch too.
    
    Fixes: a4e84aae(mtip32xx: use runtime tag to initialize command header)
