scsi: hisi_sas: Allocate DFX memory during dump trigger
Currently, if CONFIG_SCSI_HISI_SAS_DEBUGFS_DEFAULT_ENABLE is enabled, the memory space used by DFX is allocated during device initialization, which occupies a large number of memory resources. The memory usage before and after the driver is loaded is as follows: Memory usage before the driver is loaded: $ free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 867352 2578 864037 11 735 861681 Swap: 4095 0 4095 Memory usage after the driver which include 4 HBAs is loaded: $ insmod hisi_sas_v3_hw.ko $ free -m total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 867352 4760 861848 11 743 859495 Swap: 4095 0 4095 The driver with 4 HBAs connected will allocate about 110 MB of memory without enabling debugfs. Therefore, to avoid wasting memory resources, DFX memory is allocated during dump triggering. The dump may fail due to memory allocation failure. After this change, each dump costs about 10 MB of memory, and each dump lasts about 100 ms.
