Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:16:24 +0800 From: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@...el.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: jens.axboe@...cle.com Subject: [RFC]cfq-iosched: improve hw_tag detection If active queue hasn't enough requests and idle window opens, cfq will not dispatch sufficient requests to hardware. In such situation, current code will zero hw_tag. But this is because cfq doesn't dispatch enough requests instead of hardware queue doesn't work. Don't zero hw_tag in such case.
