Subject: [PATCH] cfq-iosched.c: minor fixes
X-Git-Tag: Ubuntu-5.2.0-15.16~57506
X-Git-Url: https://git.proxmox.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9c2c38a122cc23d6a09b8004d60a33913683eedf;p=mirror_ubuntu-eoan-kernel.git

[PATCH] cfq-iosched.c: minor fixes

One critical fix and two minor fixes for 2.6.13-rc7:

- Max depth must currently be 2 to allow barriers to function on SCSI
- Prefer sync request over async in choosing the next request
- Never allow async request to preempt or disturb the "anticipation" for
  a single cfq process context. This is as-designed, the code right now
  is buggy in that area.
