blk-mq: Use all available hardware queues
Suppose that a system has two CPU sockets, three cores per socket,
that it does not support hyperthreading and that four hardware
queues are provided by a block driver. With the current algorithm
this will lead to the following assignment of CPU cores to hardware
queues:
HWQ 0: 0 1
HWQ 1: 2 3
HWQ 2: 4 5
HWQ 3: (none)
This patch changes the queue assignment into:
HWQ 0: 0 1
HWQ 1: 2
HWQ 2: 3 4
HWQ 3: 5
In other words, this patch has the following three effects:
- All four hardware queues are used instead of only three.
- CPU cores are spread more evenly over hardware queues. For the
above example the range of the number of CPU cores associated
with a single HWQ is reduced from [0..2] to [1..2].
- If the number of HWQ's is a multiple of the number of CPU sockets
it is now guaranteed that all CPU cores associated with a single
HWQ reside on the same CPU socket.
