From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Mike Snitzer Subject: [PATCH 6/8] dm: don't start current request if it would've merged with the previous Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2015 19:47:09 -0500 Message-ID: <1425430031-78140-7-git-send-email-snitzer@redhat.com> References: <1425430031-78140-1-git-send-email-snitzer@redhat.com> Reply-To: device-mapper development Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1425430031-78140-1-git-send-email-snitzer@redhat.com> List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: dm-devel-bounces@redhat.com Errors-To: dm-devel-bounces@redhat.com To: dm-devel@redhat.com Cc: axboe@kernel.dk, jmoyer@redhat.com List-Id: dm-devel.ids Request-based DM's dm_request_fn() is so fast to pull requests off the queue that steps need to be taken to promote merging by avoiding request processing if it makes sense. If the current request would've merged with previous request let the current request stay on the queue longer.
