RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

1. Feature Overview:
Feature Id:	[201590]
a. Name of Feature:	FCP - Performance Data collection  (kernel)
b. Feature Description
The item comprises:    
a) facilities which provide performance relevant data (see below) at any time    
b) facilities which collect the data provided by a), then associate it with a time stamp and and
store it for future processing         
- these facilities are configurable in regard of the type and amount of data collected for the
purpose of reducing the amount of temporarily stored data.         
- when data is taken as samples, the sampling interval is configurable         
- collected data can be filtered by e.g masks for valid stack components (see below) before data is
stored for further processing    
c) facilities which present the data stored by b) in  a human readable way.    
d) Data presented shall contain enough information to make FCP performance data comparable with
current capabilities of FICON data collections.        
Data collected comprises:    
a) Performance relevant data about stack components as Linux devices, SCSI LUNs and HBA and storage
controller information    
b) Per stack component: current values of relevant measurements as throughput, utilization and other
applicable measurements     
c) Statistical aggregations (min, max average, histogram) of data associated with I/O requests as
size, latency per component and in total.

Additional Comments:	This feature is the kernel part to feature 201591 FCP - Performance Data
collection & analysis (userspace), and feature 201729 FCP - Performance Data collection & analysis
(blktrace)

2. Feature Details:
Sponsor:	zSeries
Architectures:
s390x

Arch Specificity: Both
Affects Core Kernel: Yes
Affects Kernel Modules: Yes
Delivery Mechanism: Direct from community
Category:	Kernel
Request Type:	Kernel - Enhancement from Upstream
d. Upstream Acceptance:	In Progress
Sponsor Priority	1
f. Severity: High
IBM Confidential:	no
Code Contribution:	IBM code
g. Component Version Target:	2.6.28

3. Business Case
This item will make possible to have a better understanding of the SCSI activities and performance
of the customer system, being able afterward to better solve FCP issues regarding customer's SCSI
workloads.
