Subject: [PATCH 0/7] blk-mq: introduce new queue attribute async_depth

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

Background and motivation:

At first, we test a performance regression from 5.10 to 6.6 in
downstream kernel(described in patch 5), the regression is related to
async_depth in mq-dealine.

While trying to fix this regression, Bart suggests add a new attribute
to request_queue, and I think this is a good idea because all elevators
have similar logical, however only mq-deadline allow user to configure
async_depth.

patch 1-3 add new queue attribute async_depth;
patch 4 convert kyber to use request_queue->async_depth;
patch 5 covnert mq-dedaline to use request_queue->async_depth, also the
performance regression will be fixed;
patch 6 convert bfq to use request_queue->async_depth;

Yu Kuai (7):
  block: convert nr_requests to unsigned int
  blk-mq-sched: unify elevators checking for async requests
  blk-mq: add a new queue sysfs attribute async_depth
  kyber: covert to use request_queue->async_depth
  mq-deadline: covert to use request_queue->async_depth
  block, bfq: convert to use request_queue->async_depth
  blk-mq: add documentation for new queue attribute async_dpeth
