    Subject[PATCH v2 11/16] dmaengine: bcm-sba-raid: Peek mbox when we have no free requests
    Date
    When setting up RAID array on several NVMe disks we observed that
    sba_alloc_request() start failing (due to no free requests left)
    and RAID array setup becomes very slow.

    To improve performance, we do mbox channel peek when we have
    no free requests. This improves performance of RAID array setup
    because mbox requests that were completed but not processed by
    mbox completion worker will be processed immediately by mbox
    channel peek.
