+Date: February 2021

+Description: In host control mode, reads are the major source of activation
+ trials. Once this threshold hs met, the region is added to the
+ "to-be-activated" list. Since we reset the read counter upon
+ write, this include sending a rb command updating the region
+ ppn as well.

+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Avri Altman <avri.altman@wdc.com>
+Description: In host control mode, we think of the regions as "buckets".
+ Those buckets are being filled with reads, and emptied on write.
+ We use entries_per_srgn - the amount of blocks in a subregion as
+ our bucket size. This applies because HPB1.0 only handles
+ single-block reads. Once the bucket size is crossed, we trigger
+ a normalization work - not only to avoid overflow, but mainly
+ because we want to keep those counters normalized, as we are
+ using those reads as a comparative score, to make various decisions.
+ The normalization is dividing (shift right) the read counter by
+ the normalization_factor. If during consecutive normalizations
+ an active region has exhausted its reads - inactivate it.

+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Avri Altman <avri.altman@wdc.com>
+Description: Region deactivation is often due to the fact that eviction took
+ place: A region becomes active at the expense of another. This is
+ happening when the max-active-regions limit has been crossed.
+ In host mode, eviction is considered an extreme measure. We
+ want to verify that the entering region has enough reads, and
+ the exiting region has much fewer reads. eviction_thld_enter is
+ the min reads that a region must have in order to be considered
+ a candidate for evicting another region.
+
+What: /sys/class/scsi_device/*/device/hpb_param_sysfs/eviction_thld_exit
+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Avri Altman <avri.altman@wdc.com>
+Description: Same as above for the exiting region. A region is considered to
+ be a candidate for eviction only if it has fewer reads than
+ eviction_thld_exit.

+What: /sys/class/scsi_device/*/device/hpb_param_sysfs/read_timeout_ms
+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Avri Altman <avri.altman@wdc.com>
+Description: In order not to hang on to "cold" regions, we inactivate
+ a region that has no READ access for a predefined amount of
+ time - read_timeout_ms. If read_timeout_ms has expired, and the
+ region is dirty, it is less likely that we can make any use of
+ HPB reading it so we inactivate it. Still, deactivation has
+ its overhead, and we may still benefit from HPB reading this
+ region if it is clean - see read_timeout_expiries.

+What: /sys/class/scsi_device/*/device/hpb_param_sysfs/read_timeout_expiries
+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Avri Altman <avri.altman@wdc.com>
+Description: If the region read timeout has expired, but the region is clean,
+ just re-wind its timer for another spin. Do that as long as it
+ is clean and did not exhaust its read_timeout_expiries threshold.

+Description: In host control mode the host is the originator of map requests.
+ To avoid flooding the device with map requests, use a simple throttling
+ mechanism that limits the number of inflight map requests.
