Hi NeilBrown,

See drivers/md/dm-bufio.c as below:
50 /*
51 * Buffer hash
52 */
53 #define DM_BUFIO_HASH_BITS 20
54 #define DM_BUFIO_HASH(block) \
55 ((((block) >> DM_BUFIO_HASH_BITS) ^ (block)) & \
56 ((1 << DM_BUFIO_HASH_BITS) - 1))
"drivers/md/dm-bufio.c" 1854L, 45375C


DM_BUFIO_HASH_BITS was defined as 20 and it maybe not fit for some
use case with limited resources. Do we have any plan to make it more
flexible? Like module parameter or something else?


Thanks, but this question should be address to:

Thank you for your kindly remind. :-)
