Subject: Re: [PATCH V2 1/1] pmem: set QUEUE_FLAG_NOWAIT
Date: Wed, 2 Aug 2023 14:30:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230802123010.GB30792@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <0a2d86d6-34a1-0c8d-389c-1dc2f886f108@nvidia.com>

Given that pmem simply loops over an arbitrarily large bio I think
we also need a threshold for which to allow nowait I/O.  While it
won't block for giant I/Os, doing all of them in the submitter
context isn't exactly the idea behind the nowait I/O.

I'm not really sure what a good theshold would be, though.

Btw, please also always add linux-block to the Cc list for block
driver patches that are even the slightest bit about the block
layer interface.
