Hello, Jens.
Hello, Andrew.
This patch fixes q->unplug_thresh condition check in
__elv_add_request(). rq.count[READ] + rq.count[WRITE] can increase
more than one if another thread has allocated a request after the
current request is allocated or in_flight could have changed resulting
in larger-than-one change of nrq, thus breaking the threshold
mechanism.
