Subject: [PATCH-v3 2/2] Initialize mempool and elevator only for request-based dm devices
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:02:41 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200908111502.41930.knikanth@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200908111435.12020.knikanth@suse.de>
Intialize the request_queue and elevator only when the device is marked as
a request-based device. This avoids unnecessary creation of mempool for
requests. Also we wrongly initialize the elevator even for bio-based devices.
As the /sys/block/dm-*/queue/scheduler is exported for device-mapper devices,
it is possible to confuse with scheduler options for bio-based devices where
scheduler is not at all used.
