[PATCH] block/elevator: reduce the critical section

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

 



1.reduce the critical section in elevator_get().
2.reduce the critical section in elevator_get_by_features().
3.remove the found variable.

the elv_list_lock is used to protect the elv_list,
and the operations of elevator_type does not need
to be protected.
