Subject: [PATCH 1/8] block: add WRITE_BG
Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2016 08:46:43 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1473259610-3295-2-git-send-email-axboe@fb.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1473259610-3295-1-git-send-email-axboe@fb.com>
This adds a new request flag, REQ_BG, that callers can use to tell
the block layer that this is background (non-urgent) IO.
