Reduce the default values for the number of hardware queues and queue depth
to significantly reduce the memory footprint of a DASD device.
The memory consumption per DASD device reduces from approximately 40MB to
approximately 1.5MB.
This is necessary to build systems with a large number of DASD devices and
a reasonable amount of memory.
Performance measurements showed that good performance results are possible
with the new default values even on systems with lots of CPUs and lots of
alias devices.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
