[PATCH] dm: pass up rotational flag

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Allow the NONROT flag to be passed through to linear mappings if all
underlying device are non-rotational. Tools like ureadahead will
schedule IOs differently based on the rotational flag.

With this patch, I see boot time go from 7.75 s to 7.46 s on my device.
