What:           /sys/module/xen_blkback/parameters/max_buffer_pages
Date:           March 2013
KernelVersion:  3.11
Contact:        Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com>
Description:
                Maximum number of free pages to keep in each block
                backend buffer.

What:           /sys/module/xen_blkback/parameters/max_persistent_grants
Date:           March 2013
KernelVersion:  3.11
Contact:        Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com>
Description:
                Maximum number of grants to map persistently in
                blkback. If the frontend tries to use more than
                max_persistent_grants, the LRU kicks in and starts
                removing 5% of max_persistent_grants every 100ms.

Date:           August 2018
KernelVersion:  4.19
Contact:        Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com>
Description:
                How long a persistent grant is allowed to remain
                allocated without being in use. The time is in
                seconds, 0 means indefinitely long.
                The default is 60 seconds.

What:           /sys/module/xen_blkback/parameters/buffer_squeeze_duration_ms
Date:           December 2019
KernelVersion:  5.6
Contact:        SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>
Description:
                When memory pressure is reported to blkback this option
                controls the duration in milliseconds that blkback will not
                cache any page not backed by a grant mapping.
                The default is 10ms.

Date:           September 2020
KernelVersion:  5.10
Contact:        SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>
Description:
                Whether to enable the persistent grants feature or not.  Note
                that this option only takes effect on newly connected backends.
                The default is Y (enable).
