[ext4] Multiple page-io submission (Option "mblk_io_submit")

[ext4] Multiple page-io submission (Option "mblk_io_submit")

[Sedat Dilek]

Hi,

while looking at pending patches in ext4.git#{master, for_linus}, I
saw "ext4: Fix data corruption with multi-block writepages support"
which should fix [2] according to text in the commit-body.

Are you planning to turn on "multiple page-io submission" again by
default (as is was disabled in "ext4: Turn off multiple page-io
submission by default" [3])?

Regards,

I'm planning on turning it on by default post 2.6.38, during the
2.6.39-rc1 merge window.  That's me being paranoid, since this is so
late in the -rc cycle for 2.6.38.
