3.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> commit ece9c72accdc45c3a9484dacb1125ce572647288 upstream. Priority of a merged request is computed by ioprio_best(). If one of the requests has undefined priority (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) and another request has priority from IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, the function will return the undefined priority which is wrong. Fix the function to properly return priority of a request with the defined priority.
