This patch adds a dynamic load balancer, dm-queue-length, which balances the number of in-flight I/Os. The code is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2005-October/msg00050.html Signed-off-by: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Kiyoshi Ueda <k-ueda@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Vijayakumar Balasubramanian <vijayakumar@xxxxxx> Cc: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/md/Kconfig | 9 + drivers/md/Makefile | 1 drivers/md/dm-queue-length.c | 257 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 267 insertions(+) Index: 2.6.29-rc8/drivers/md/dm-queue-length.c =================================================================== --- /dev/null +++ 2.6.29-rc8/drivers/md/dm-queue-length.c @@ -0,0 +1,257 @@ +/* + * Copyright (C) 2004-2005 IBM Corp.
