Does kernel really have to wait for the disk operation to complete? We just have such limit for the swap and it's set to 32 pages if I remeber well. In the normal write to disk (via filesystem) case instead the limit is forced to the 42 requests slot shared by all block-writes operations. That make sense but it become an overkill for reads if we are writing continously to disk. Andrea Arcangeli
