Can you explain what the simplification is? As of this patch the
code looks more complicated to me..
How about changing the patch description into the following text?
"Track the position (sector_t) of the most recently dispatched request
instead of tracking a pointer to the next request to dispatch. This
patch is the basis for patch "Handle requeued requests correctly".
Without this patch it would me significantly more complicated to start
searching for a zoned write from the start of a zone."
Thanks,
Bart.
