Shyam Prasad N b735c8dfbf cifs: deal with the channel loading lag while picking channels 
commit 66d590b828 upstream.

Our current approach to select a channel for sending requests is this:
1. iterate all channels to find the min and max queue depth
2. if min and max are not the same, pick the channel with min depth
3. if min and max are same, round robin, as all channels are equally loaded

The problem with this approach is that there's a lag between selecting
a channel and sending the request (that increases the queue depth on the channel).
While these numbers will eventually catch up, there could be a skew in the
channel usage, depending on the application's I/O parallelism and the server's
speed of handling requests.

With sufficient parallelism, this lag can artificially increase the queue depth,
thereby impacting the performance negatively.

This change will change the step 1 above to start the iteration from the last
selected channel. This is to reduce the skew in channel usage even in the presence
of this lag.

README 

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 reStructuredText 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.
