From 7df620d852642d424afc9777fe57880e02c92832 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ed L. Cashin" Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 04:20:07 -0800 Subject: aoe: add module parameter for users who need more outstanding I/O An AoE target provides an estimate of the number of outstanding commands that the AoE initiator can send before getting a response. The aoe_maxout parameter provides a way to set an even lower limit. It will not allow a user to use more outstanding commands than the target permits. If a user discovers a problem with a large setting, this parameter provides a way for us to work with them to debug the problem. We expect to improve the dynamic window sizing algorithm and drop this parameter. For the time being, it is a debugging aid. Signed-off-by: Ed L.
