Apologies if you are getting this a second time, it appears vger ate my last submission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a patch series aimed at bringing NBD into 2016. The two big components of this series is converting nbd over to using blkmq and then allowing us to provide more than one connection for a nbd device. The NBD user space server doesn't care about how many connections it has to a particular device, so we can easily open multiple connections to the server and allow blkmq to handle multi-plexing over the different connections. This drastically improves performance with multi-threaded workloads over NBD. The multi-connection support requires some changes to the NBD userspace client code, and you can find that code here https://github.com/josefbacik/nbd I have been testing this for a few months and it is pretty solid and gives excellent performance improvements.
