From 1faa16d22877f4839bd433547d770c676d1d964c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 14:48:01 +0200 Subject: block: change the request allocation/congestion logic to be sync/async based This makes sure that we never wait on async IO for sync requests, instead of doing the split on writes vs reads.

This used to be fine, since the only sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this flag.
