Subject: [PATCH] scsi: scsi_debug: default to a higher throughput config
Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 10:28:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902092844.1741533-1-john.garry@linux.dev> (raw)
Currently the default config goes not give as high a throughput as some
would like.
Give a higher default throughput by modifying the following:
- set completion response delay as 0
- increase shost can_queue to 4096, which aligns better with modern
high-speed HBAs
- turn on clustering
