SCSI uses a global atomic variable to track queue depth for each LUN/request queue. This doesn't scale well when there are lots of CPU cores and the disk is very fast. It has been observed that IOPS is affected a lot by tracking queue depth via sdev->device_busy in the I/O path. Return budget token from .get_budget callback. The budget token can be passed to driver so that we can replace the atomic variable with sbitmap_queue and alleviate the scaling problems that way.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
