Shuhei Matsumoto 5b2c76f062 lib/iscsi: Make the max number of read subtasks for large read I/O configurable
For some use case that there is heavy large read I/O, the performance
bottleneck due to MAX_LARGE_DATAIN_PER_CONNECTION was reported.

The following assumes that all I/Os are large read.

Large read primary task whose I/O size is more than
SPDK_BDEV_LARGE_BUF_MAX_SIZE (=64KB) is split into multiple
read subtasks.

spdk_iscsi_globals::MaxQueueDepth limits maximum number of outstanding
read primary tasks, and MAX_LARGE_DATAIN_PER_CONNECTION (=64)
limits maximum number of outstanding read subtasks.

MAX_LARGE_DATAIN_PER_CONNECTION is also used to calculate PDU pool.

To remove the performance bottleneck, change the macro constant
MAX_LARGE_DATAIN_PER_CONNECTION to a global variable
spdk_iscsi_globals::MaxLargeDataInPerConnection.

We don't see any negative side effect if we set
spdk_iscsi_globals::MaxLargeDataInPerConnection to 64.

The use case that reported the performance issue will change the
value of spdk_iscsi_globals::MaxLargeDataInPerConnection by its own
responsibility.

The next patch will add the value of
spdk_iscsi_globals::MaxLargeDataInPerConnection to iSCSI options,
and make it configurable by JSON RPC.
