[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 3/3] xen-blkfront: dynamic configuration of per-vbd resources



The current VBD layer reserves buffer space for each attached device based on
three statically configured settings which are read at boot time.
 * max_indirect_segs: Maximum amount of segments.
 * max_ring_page_order: Maximum order of pages to be used for the shared ring.
 * max_queues: Maximum of queues(rings) to be used.

But the storage backend, workload, and guest memory result in very different
tuning requirements. It's impossible to centrally predict application
characteristics so it's best to leave allow the settings can be dynamiclly
adjusted based on workload inside the Guest.

Usage:
Show current values:
cat /sys/devices/vbd-xxx/max_indirect_segs
cat /sys/devices/vbd-xxx/max_ring_page_order
cat /sys/devices/vbd-xxx/max_queues

Write new values:
echo <new value> > /sys/devices/vbd-xxx/max_indirect_segs
echo <new value> > /sys/devices/vbd-xxx/max_ring_page_order
echo <new value> > /sys/devices/vbd-xxx/max_queues

v2: Rename to max_ring_page_order and rm the waiting code suggested by Roger.
