Subject: Badness in as_completed_request warning
Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2003 09:48:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030908164802.GA13441@osdl.org> (raw)


I'm getting a "badness" warning from as_iosched.c, line 917.
This is on 2.6.0-test4-mm6, running on a 2 cpu x86.

The warning occurs when I run three or more instances of mkfs.ext2, where
each mkfs is running on its own disk.  If I run four or more mkfs's
on paritions all on the same disk I don't get this warning.
The more instances of mkfs I run (each on separate disks), the
more instances of this warning I receive.

The mkfs's all progress at the same rate. The warnings
occur as all mkfs's are "writing superblocks and filesystem
accounting information", near the end of the mkfs.
