To allow users to choose an elevator algorithm for their particular workloads, change from a make_request-style driver to an I/O-request-queue-handler-style driver. We have to do a couple of things that might be surprising. We manipulate the page _count directly on the assumption that we still have no guarantee that users of the block layer are prohibited from submitting bios containing pages with zero reference counts.[1] If such a prohibition now exists, I can get rid of the _count manipulation. Just as before this patch, we still keep track of the sk_buffs that the network layer still hasn't finished yet and cap the resources we use with a "pool" of skbs.[2] Now that the block layer maintains the disk stats, the aoe driver's diskstats function can go away. 1. https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/1/374 2. https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/6/241 Signed-off-by: Ed Cashin <ecashin@coraid.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |
