From c186794dbb466b45cf40f942f2d09d6d5b4b0e42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Snitzer Date: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 11:08:00 +0100 Subject: block: share request flush fields with elevator_private Flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler. Convert request structure's elevator_private* into an array and have the flush fields share a union with it. Reclaim the space lost in 'struct request' by moving 'completion_data' back in the union with 'rb_node'.
