-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Vasily Tarasov elv_iosched_show function iterates other elv_list, hence elv_list_lock should be got. Also the question is: in elv_iosched_show, elv_iosched_store q->elevator->elevator_type construction is used without locking q->queue_lock. Is it expected?..
