* block: sysfs store function needs to grab queue_lock and use queue_flag_*()Jens Axboe2008-05-071-2/+4
| | | | | | | Concurrency isn't a big deal here since we have requests in flight at this point, but do the locked variant to set a better example. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: Skip I/O merges when disabledAlan D. Brunelle2008-04-291-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The block I/O + elevator + I/O scheduler code spend a lot of time trying to merge I/Os -- rightfully so under "normal" circumstances. However, if one were to know that the incoming I/O stream was /very/ random in nature, the cycles are wasted. This patch adds a per-request_queue tunable that (when set) disables merge attempts (beyond the simple one-hit cache check), thus freeing up a non-trivial amount of CPU cycles. Signed-off-by: Alan D.

* block: fix blk_register_queue() return valueAkinobu Mita2008-04-211-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_register_queue() returns -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL. But there are some block drivers that call blk_register_queue() via add_disk() with queue->request_fn == NULL. (For example, brd, loop) Although no one checks return value of blk_register_queue(), this patch makes it return 0 instead of -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL, Also this patch adds warning when blk_register_queue() and blk_unregister_queue() are called with queue == NULL rather than ignore invalid usage silently.
