dm cache: switch the "default" cache replacement policy from mq to smq The Stochastic multiqueue (SMQ) policy (vs MQ) offers the promise of less memory utilization, improved performance and increased adaptability in the face of changing workloads. SMQ also does not have any cumbersome tuning knobs. Users may switch from "mq" to "smq" simply by appropriately reloading a DM table that is using the cache target. Doing so will cause all of the mq policy's hints to be dropped. Also, performance of the cache may degrade slightly until smq recalculates the origin device's hotspots that should be cached. In the future the "mq" policy will just silently make use of "smq" and the mq code will be removed. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com>
