[PATCH V4 15/16] block: do not set mq defaulte scheduler

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

 



For blk-mq disks with a single hardware queue, setting by default the
disk scheduler to mq-deadline early during the queue initialization
prevents properly setting zone write locking for zoned block device as
the fact that the disk is zoned is not yet known.

Fix this by simply not setting the default scheduler to mq-deadline for
single hardware queue disks. udev can be used to easily do the same
later in the system initialization sequence, when the device
characteristics are known.
