Currently, kyber is very unfriendly with merging. kyber depends on ctx rq_list to do merging, however, most of time, it will not leave any requests in ctx rq_list. This is because even if tokens of one domain is used up, kyber will try to dispatch requests from other domain and flush the rq_list there. To improve this, we setup kyber_ctx_queue (kcq) which is similar with ctx, but it has rq_lists for different domain and build same mapping between kcq and khd as the ctx & hctx. Then we could merge, insert and dispatch for different domains separately. At the same time, only flush the rq_list of kcq when get domain token successfully. Then if one domain token is used up, the requests could be left in the rq_list of that domain and maybe merged with following io.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
