dm mpath: add queue length load balancer
This patch adds a dynamic load balancer, dm-queue-length, which balances the number of in-flight I/Os across the paths. The code is based on the patch posted by Stefan Bader: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2005-October/msg00050.html Signed-off-by: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Kiyoshi Ueda <k-ueda@ct.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
