Thanks for confirming. It's one of the dangers of null_blk, it's not always a very accurate simulation of what a real device will do. I think it's mostly a completion side thing, would be great with a small device that supported msi-x and could be used as an irq trigger :-) -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
