Subject: [PATCH] iocost: add a comment about locking in ioc_weight_write()
Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2019 13:18:11 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191104101811.GA20821@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <x49d0ebd2sl.fsf@segfault.boston.devel.redhat.com>

It wasn't very clear that blkg_conf_prep() disables IRQ and that they
are enabled in blkg_conf_finish() so this patch adds a comment about it.

I don't know if it's too late to fold this in with the previous patch?
