Bellinger" <nab@...ux-iscsi.org>, Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@...cle.com> Subject: [PATCH][RFC 13/23]: Export of alloc_io_context() function This patch exports alloc_io_context() function. For performance reasons SCST queues commands using a pool of IO threads. It is considerably better for performance (>30% increase on sequential reads) if threads in a pool have the same IO context. Since SCST can be built as a module, it needs alloc_io_context() function exported.
