Linux kernel source tree

Distribute the channels between the different SD-devices to acheive local numa node performance on multiple numas. Each channel works against one specific mdev, creating all datapath queues against it. We distribute channels to mdevs in a round-robin policy. Example for 2 mdevs and 6 channels: +-------+---------+ | ch ix | mdev ix | +-------+---------+ | 0 | 0 | | 1 | 1 | | 2 | 0 | | 3 | 1 | | 4 | 0 | | 5 | 1 | +-------+---------+ This round-robin distribution policy is preferred over another suggested intuitive distribution, in which we first distribute one half of the channels to mdev #0 and then the second half to mdev #1. We prefer round-robin for a reason: it is less influenced by changes in the number of channels. The mapping between channel index and mdev is fixed, no matter how many channels the user configures. As the channel stats are persistent to channels closure, changing the mapping every single time would turn the accumulative stats less representing of the channel's history. Per-channel objects should stop using the primary mdev (priv->mdev) directly, and instead move to using their own channel's mdev.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
