[RFC PATCH 2/4] dm-mpath: add queue-length oriented dynamic load balancer

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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:
