[PATCH 2/2] nvme: add 'latency' iopolicy

Hannes Reinecke hare at kernel.org
Wed Apr 3 07:17:56 PDT 2024


Add a latency-based I/O policy for multipathing. It uses the blk-nodelat
latency tracker to provide latencies for each node, and schedules
I/O on the path with the least latency for the submitting node.
