Subject: [PATCH v2] block: fix deadline elevator drain for zoned block devices
Date: Wed, 26 Sep 2018 16:30:37 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180926073037.29563-1-damien.lemoal@wdc.com> (raw)

When the deadline scheduler is used with a zoned block device, writes
to a zone will be dispatched one at a time. This causes the warning
message:

deadline: forced dispatching is broken (nr_sorted=X), please report this

to be displayed when switching to another elevator with the legacy I/O
path while write requests to a zone are being retained in the scheduler
queue.

Prevent this message from being displayed when executing
elv_drain_elevator() for a zoned block device. __blk_drain_queue() will
loop until all writes are dispatched and completed, resulting in the
desired elevator queue drain without extensive modifications to the
deadline code itself to handle forced-dispatch calls.
