[RFC PATCH 1/8] block: Change the dispatch_request() API to support batch requests

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

 



Now some SD/MMC host controllers can support packed command or packed request,
that means we can package several requests to host controller at one time
to improve performence.

But the blk-mq always takes one request from the scheduler and dispatch it to
the device, regardless of the driver or the scheduler, so there should only
ever be one request in the local list in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), that means
the bd.last is always true and the driver can not use bd.last to decide if
there are requests are pending now in hardware queue to help to package
requests.

Thus this is a preparation patch, which tries to change the dispatch_request()
API to allow dispatching more than one request from the scheduler.
