Subject: [patch 2/2]block: add plug for blkdev_issue_discard
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:15:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20121214031551.GB30345@kernel.org> (raw)

Last post of this patch appears lost, so I resend this.

Now discard merge works, add plug for blkdev_issue_discard. This will help
discard request merge especially for raid0 case. In raid0, a big discard
request is split to small requests, and if correct plug is added, such small
requests can be merged in low layer.
