Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Enable polling on stackable devices
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2020 12:17:27 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200211191729.4745-1-andrzej.jakowski@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Changes since v1:

   ago (Jens)

 - incorporated code style fixes into md patch (Christoph)

IO polling is available on blk-mq devices. It is not possible to perform IO
polling on stackable devices like MD.

In this patch series we propose to reintroduce blk_poll() function. blk_poll()
when called on stackable block device that supports polling will invoke its
polling handler. Otherwise it will call blk_mq_poll() directly for fast
accesses.

This patch set also includes example implemetation of polling on MD RAID-0
volume.

TODO:
 - introduce REQ_NOWAIT support for stackable devices in a separate patchset
