blk-mq: make the polling code adaptive
The previous commit introduced the hybrid sleep/poll mode. Take that one step further, and use the completion latencies to automatically sleep for half the mean completion time. This is a good approximation. This changes the 'io_poll_delay' sysfs file a bit to expose the various options. Depending on the value, the polling code will behave differently: -1 Never enter hybrid sleep mode 0 Use half of the completion mean for the sleep delay >0 Use this specific value as the sleep delay Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Tested-By: Stephen Bates <sbates@raithlin.com> Reviewed-By: Stephen Bates <sbates@raithlin.com>
