    blk-mq: scale depth and rq map appropriate if low on memory · a5164405
    Jens Axboe authored
    If we are running in a kdump environment, resources are scarce.
    For some SCSI setups with a huge set of shared tags, we run out
    of memory allocating what the drivers is asking for. So implement
    a scale back logic to reduce the tag depth for those cases, allowing
    the driver to successfully load.
    
    We should extend this to detect low memory situations, and implement
    a sane fallback for those (1 queue, 64 tags, or something like that).
