From 45333d5a31296d0af886d94f1d08f128231cab8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aaron Carroll Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:52:36 +0200 Subject: cfq-iosched: fix queue depth detection CFQ's detection of queueing devices assumes a non-queuing device and detects if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold. Under some workloads (e.g. synchronous reads), CFQ effectively forces a unit queue depth, thus defeating the detection logic. This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware, since the idle window remains enabled. This patch inverts the sense of the logic: assume a queuing-capable device, and detect if the depth does not exceed the threshold.
