33 * ditto for writes, these limits are not hard, even
34 * if the disk is capable of satisfying them.
36 #define default_write_expire (HZ / 4)
39 * read_batch_expire describes how long we will allow a stream of reads to
40 * persist before looking to see whether it is time to switch over to writes.
42 #define default_read_batch_expire (HZ / 2)
45 * write_batch_expire describes how long we want a stream of writes to run for.
46 * This is not a hard limit, but a target we set for the auto-tuning thingy.
47 * See, the problem is: we can send a lot of writes to disk cache / TCQ in
48 * a short amount of time...
50 #define default_write_batch_expire (HZ / 8)

58 * Keep track of up to 20ms thinktimes. We can go as big as we like here,
59 * however huge values tend to interfere and not decay fast enough. A program
60 * might be in a non-io phase of operation. Waiting on user input for example,
61 * or doing a lengthy computation. A small penalty can be justified there, and
62 * will still catch out those processes that constantly have large thinktimes.
