135Description:
136 Standard I/O elevator operations include attempts to
137 merge contiguous I/Os. For known random I/O loads these
138 attempts will always fail and result in extra cycles
139 being spent in the kernel. This allows one to turn off
140 this behavior on one of two ways: When set to 1, complex
141 merge checks are disabled, but the simple one-shot merges
142 with the previous I/O request are enabled. When set to 2,
143 all merge tries are disabled. The default value is 0 -
144 which enables all types of merge tries.
