When SCSI-MQ is enabled, the SCSI-MQ layers will do pre-allocation of MQ resources based on shost values set by the driver. In newer cases of the driver, which attempts to set nr_hw_queues to the cpu count, the multipliers become excessive, with a single shost having SCSI-MQ pre-allocation reaching into the multiple GBytes range. NPIV, which creates additional shosts, only multiply this overhead. On lower-memory systems, this can exhaust system memory very quickly, resulting in a system crash or failures in the driver or elsewhere due to low memory conditions. After testing several scenarios, the situation can be mitigated by limiting the value set in shost->nr_hw_queues to 4. Although the shost values were changed, the driver still had per-cpu hardware queues of its own that allowed parallelization per-cpu. Testing revealed that even with the smallish number for nr_hw_queues for SCSI-MQ, performance levels remained near maximum with the within-driver affiinitization. A module parameter was created to allow the value set for the nr_hw_queues to be tunable.
