+Subject: virtio-scsi: Implement change_queue_depth for virtscsi targets
+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/761f1193f299873236dbc21277864d70cb7ba8a3
+
+change_queue_depth allows changing per-target queue depth via sysfs.
+
+It also allows the SCSI midlayer to ramp down the number of concurrent
+inflight requests in response to a SCSI BUSY status response and allows
+the midlayer to ramp the count back up to the device maximum when the
+BUSY condition has resolved.
