[dm-devel] [PATCH 2/7] dm: add reserved_rq_based_ios module parameter

[Mike Snitzer]

Allow user to change the number of IOs that are reserved by
request-based DM's mempools by writing to this file:
/sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/reserved_rq_based_ios

The default value is RESERVED_REQUEST_BASED_IOS (256).
