From d25105e8911bff1dbd68e387f12901c5b1a15fe8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wu Fengguang Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2009 12:40:42 +0200 Subject: writeback: account IO throttling wait as iowait It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked due to IO throttle, as suggested by Kame and Peter. There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle, however it has been mismatching the code for a long time. If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.
