Subject: cfq-iosched: a regression
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2011 10:47:06 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1313462826.27321.22.camel@sli10-conroe> (raw)

We have a kernel build regression since 3.1-rc1, which is about 10%
regression. The kernel source is in an ext3 filesystem.
Alex Shi bisect it to commit:
commit a07405b7802691d29ab3b23bdc76ee6d006aad0b
Author: Justin TerAvest <teravest@google.com>
Date:   Sun Jul 10 22:09:19 2011 +0200

    cfq: Remove special treatment for metadata rqs.

Apparently this is caused by lack metadata preemption, where ext3/ext4
do use READ_META. I didn't see a way to fix the issue, so suggest
reverting the patch.
