[PATCH] iocost: add a comment about locking in ioc_weight_write()

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

 



It wasn't very clear that blkg_conf_prep() disables IRQ and that they
are enabled in blkg_conf_finish() so this patch adds a comment about it.

I don't know if it's too late to fold this in with the previous patch?
