Subject: Re: [PATCH] block: strip out locking optimization in
put_io_context()
Hello, Shaohua.
Can you please test the following patch? It's combination of three
patches which invokes elevator icq exit from exit_io_context(). This
unfortunately ends up adding another reverse locking loop and using
RCU could be better; unfortunately, the change isn't trivial due to
q->queue_lock modification during blk_cleanup_queue() and ioc cleanup
being called after that from blk_release_queue() - IOW, while holding
RCU, we might end up grabbing the wrong q lock (I don't think this is
a new problem).
Now that we have proper request draining on queue exit, we can
probably move ioc clearing and other operations to blk_cleanup_queue()
and then apply RCU, but that's for another merge window.
Thanks.
