sbitmap has been used in scsi for replacing atomic operations on sdev->device_busy, so IOPS on some fast scsi storage can be improved. However, sdev->device_busy can be changed in fast path, so we have to allocate the sb->map statically. sdev->device_busy has been capped to 1024, but some drivers may configure the default depth as < 8, then cause each sbitmap word to hold only one bit. Finally 1024 * 128( sizeof(sbitmap_word)) bytes is needed for sb->map, given it is order 5 allocation, sometimes it may fail. Avoid the issue by using kvzalloc_node() for allocating sb->map.

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.
