virtio-blk: base queue-depth on virtqueue ringsize or module param
Venkatash spake thus:
virtio-blk set the default queue depth to 64 requests, which was
insufficient for high-IOPS devices. Instead set the blk-queue depth to
the device's virtqueue depth divided by two (each I/O requires at least
two VQ entries).
But behold, Ted added a module parameter:
Also allow the queue depth to be something which can be set at module
load time or via a kernel boot-time parameter, for
testing/benchmarking purposes.
And I rewrote it substantially, mainly to take
VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC into account.
As QEMU sets the vq size for PCI to 128, Venkatash's patch wouldn't
have made a change. This version does (since QEMU also offers
VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC.
