Hmm I would have preferred this to be split into two patches, one introducing the features (not just ELEVATOR_F_ZONED_BLOCK_DEV but also the features you describe in 4/7) and mark all schedulers with the feature bits and then one pulling the requirement of ELEVATOR_F_ZONED_BLOCK_DEV in null_blk and sd. -- Johannes Thumshirn SUSE Labs Filesystems jthumsh...@suse.de +49 911 74053 689 SUSE LINUX GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg GF: Felix Imendörffer, Mary Higgins, Sri Rasiah HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Key fingerprint = EC38 9CAB C2C4 F25D 8600 D0D0 0393 969D 2D76 0850
