[PATCH 0/2][RFC] block: default to deadline for SMR devices

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

 



Bryan Gurney reported I/O errors when using dm-zoned with a host-managed
SMR device.  It turns out he was using CFQ, which is the default.
Unfortunately, as of v4.16, only the deadline schedulers work well with
host-managed SMR devices.  This series aatempts to switch the elevator
to deadline for those devices.

NOTE: I'm not super happy with setting up one iosched and then
immediately tearing it down.  I'm open to suggestions on better ways
to accomplish this goal.
