[dm-devel] [PATCH 6/7] dm: track the maximum number of bios in a cloned request

[Mike Snitzer]

If /sys/modules/dm_mod/parameters/track_peak_rq_based_ios is set to 1 it
enables the tracking of the maximum number of bios in a cloned request.

The maximum number of bios in a cloned request is then exposed through
the following read-only parameter:
/sys/modules/dm_mod/parameters/peak_rq_based_ios

This information can be useful when deciding on a value for dm_mod's
'reserved_rq_based_ios' parameter.  Otherwise, 'track_peak_rq_based_ios'
should be kept disabled (the default).
