[PATCH 01/14] blk-mq-sched: fix scheduler bad performance

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

 



When hw queue is busy, we shouldn't take requests from
scheduler queue any more, otherwise IO merge will be
difficult to do.

This patch fixes the awful IO performance on some
SCSI devices(lpfc, qla2xxx, ...) when mq-deadline/kyber
is used by not taking requests if hw queue is busy.
