Subject: [PATCH v4 1/6] nvme: multipath: Implemented new iopolicy "queue-depth"
From: "Ewan D. Milne" <emilne@...hat.com>
The existing iopolicies are inefficient in some cases, such as
the presence of a path with high latency. The round-robin
policy would use that path equally with faster paths, which
results in sub-optimal performance.
The queue-depth policy instead sends I/O requests down the path
with the least amount of requests in its request queue. Paths
with lower latency will clear requests more quickly and have less
requests in their queues compared to "bad" paths. The aim is to
use those paths the most to bring down overall latency.
This implementation adds an atomic variable to the nvme_ctrl
struct to represent the queue depth. It is updated each time a
request specific to that controller starts or ends.
[edm: patch developed by Thomas Song @ Pure Storage, fixed whitespace
and compilation warnings, updated MODULE_PARM description, and
fixed potential issue with ->current_path[] being used]
