SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================= +LeapRAID Driver for Linux +========================= + +Introduction +============ + +LeapRAID is a storage RAID controller driver developed by LeapIO Tech Inc. The +controller targets enterprise storage, cloud infrastructure, high performance +computing (HPC), and AI workloads. + +It provides high-performance storage virtualization over PCI Express Gen4 +and supports both SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs. It offers both Host Bus Adapter +and RAID modes to meet diverse deployment requirements. + +Supported devices +================= + +- LeapHBA-8200C + +Features +======== +- PCIe Gen4 x8 host interface +- Support for SAS and SATA devices +- RAID levels: 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, 60 +- Advanced error handling and end-to-end data integrity + +LeapRAID specific host attributes +================================= + +:: + + /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/fw_queue_depth + /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/host_sas_address + /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/board_name + +The host "fw_queue_depth" read-only attribute shows the firmware queue +depth of the host. + +The host "host_sas_address" read-only attribute shows the SAS address +of the host. + +The host "board_name" read-only attribute shows the board name reported +by manufacturing page 0. + +LeapRAID specific disk attributes +================================= + +:: + + /sys/class/scsi_disk/host:bus:target:lun/device/sas_device_handle + /sys/class/scsi_disk/host:bus:target:lun/device/ncq_cmd_prio_enable + +The read-only attribute "sas_device_handle" represents the disk's device +handle, which is a unique identifier maintained by the firmware. + +This attribute "ncq_cmd_prio_enable" controls NCQ command priority. A value +of 0 disables NCQ priority handling for RT-priority I/O. Writing 1 enables +NCQ priority handling when the device reports support for the feature through +VPD page 0x89. Unsupported devices keep the effective state at 0. + +LeapRAID module parameters +========================== + +The following module parameters can be configured at driver load time to +control driver behavior and tuning options. + +1. open_pcie_trace +------------------ + +This parameter controls whether PCIe transaction tracing is enabled in the +driver. When set to 1, PCIe trace collection is enabled by default, allowing +detailed tracing of PCIe operations for debugging and performance analysis. +Setting it to 0 disables the trace functionality to reduce overhead in +production environments. + +2. enable_mp +------------ + +This parameter enables or disables multipath support for target devices. +When set to 1, multipath functionality is enabled (default), allowing +multiple paths to be established. Setting it to 0 disables multipath +handling. + +3. max_msix_vectors +------------------- + +This parameter sets the upper limit on the number of MSI-X interrupt +vectors that the driver will request during initialization. The default +value of -1 allows the driver to use all available vectors as provided +by the device. Setting a positive integer restricts the number of vectors. + +4. poll_queues +-------------- + +This parameter specifies the number of I/O queues to be used when operating +in io_uring poll mode. The default value is 0. + +File Location +============= +The driver source is located at: + +``drivers/scsi/leapraid/`` + +.. note:: + + This document is intended for kernel developers and system + integrators who need to build, test, and deploy the LeapRAID driver. -- 2.25.1
