Hi Ryo, 2008/7/4 Ryo Tsuruta <ryov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > +static void prevent_burst_bios(struct ioband_group *gp, struct bio *bio) > +{ > + struct ioband_device *dp = gp->c_banddev; > + > + if (current->flags & PF_KTHREAD) { > + /* > + * Kernel threads shouldn't be blocked easily since each of > + * them may handle BIOs for several groups on several > + * partitions. > + */ Might be a stupid question, but doesn't that make more sense to just check if current->mm == NULL ? I think PF_BORROWED_MM is only used when kernel threads doing AIO for user process, and that should be counted as normal user processes.
