Respun on top of for-4.10/block, dropping patches that have been merged. This patchset adds Christoph's simplified sync O_DIRECT bdev access mode, and implements a more efficient IO polling on top of it. For more details, see the v2 posting here: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-block@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg02079.html Changes since v2: - Adapt to blk stat changes - Make it explicit that only blk-mq supports polling - Fix a bug in the hrtimer code, switching to absolute mode if we have to loop around (thanks Omar). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
