I've been trying to kill off these WRITE_ flags as they aren't exactly helpful, see my branch here that I'm waiting for the previous serious to go in: http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/block.git/shortlog/refs/heads/block-flags Which also begs the question why you add the REQ_NOIDLE flag above, as it's only applied to synchronous queues in cfq as far as I can tell. And while I'm at nitpicking about the most trivial patch of the series anyway: any good reason to not just spell out the "BACKGROUND" ? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
