Open Stack

Hi Arnaud,

We discussed this in last week's cinder meeting and unfortunately we
haven't tested it thoroughly so we don't have any performance numbers to
share.
What we can tell is the reason why RBD requires a higher number of native
threads. RBD calls C code which could potentially block green threads hence
blocking the main operation therefore all of the calls in RBD to execute
operations are wrapped to use native threads so depending on the operations
we want to
perform concurrently, we can set the value of
backend_native_threads_pool_size for RBD.

Thanks and regards
Rajat Dhasmana
