But that constant was not introduced by me in the dm code. See e.g. the following commits: commit d548b34b062b60b4f4df295a0b4823dfda1f1fc4 Author: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Mar 5 22:21:10 2015 -0500 dm: reduce the queue delay used in dm_request_fn from 100ms to 10ms Commit 7eaceaccab ("block: remove per-queue plugging") didn't justify DM's use of a 100ms delay; such an extended delay is a liability when there is reason to re-kick the queue.
