From: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add a -d concurrency= option to mkfs so that sysadmins can configure the
filesystem so that there are enough allocation groups that the specified
number of threads can (in theory) can find an uncontended group to
allocate space from.

+.TP
+.BI concurrency= value
+Create enough allocation groups to handle the desired level of concurrency.
+The goal of this calculation scheme is to set the number of allocation groups
+to an integer multiple of the number of writer threads desired, to minimize
+contention of AG locks.
+This scheme will neither create fewer AGs than would be created by the default
+configuration, nor will it create AGs smaller than 4GB.
+This option is not compatible with the
+.B agcount
+or
+.B agsize
+options.
+The magic value
+.I nr_cpus
+or
+.I 1
+or no value at all will set this parameter to the number of active processors
+in the system.
+If the kernel advertises that the data device is a non-mechanical storage
+device,
+.B mkfs.xfs
+will use this new geometry calculation scheme.
+The magic value of
+.I 0
+forces use of the older AG geometry calculations that is used for mechanical
+storage.
