Subject: [PATCH] noop-iosched: do not attempt to sort requests
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 14:20:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437686414-19941-1-git-send-email-tahsin@google.com> (raw)
Noop scheduler currently dispatches a request by calling
elv_dispatch_sort(). In practice, sorting does not occur because
__elv_next_request() asks the io scheduler to dispatch a request
only when elevator queue is empty.
Also, not reordering requests seems more appropriate for noop. This
change makes the behavior more explicit.
