[PATCH v2 1/2] block: skip elevator initialization for flush requests

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

 



Skip elevator initialization during request allocation if REQ_SORTED
is not set in the @rw_flags passed to the request allocator.

Set REQ_SORTED for all requests that may be put on IO scheduler.  Flush
requests are not put on IO scheduler so REQ_SORTED is not set for
them.
