Potentially this priority could even be exposed to applications in some manner, providing higher level tunability. Time based aging avoids starvation of lower priority - requests. Some bits in the bi_rw flags field in the bio structure are + requests. Some bits in the bi_opf flags field in the bio structure are intended to be used for this priority information. @@ -432,7 +432,7 @@ struct bio { struct bio *bi_next; /* request queue link */ struct block_device *bi_bdev; /* target device */ unsigned long bi_flags; /* status, command, etc */ - unsigned long bi_rw; /* low bits: r/w, high: priority */ + unsigned long bi_opf; /* low bits: r/w, high: priority */ unsigned int bi_vcnt; /* how may bio_vec's */ struct bvec_iter bi_iter; /* current index into bio_vec array */ @@ -1024,8 +1024,7 @@ could be on demand. For example wait_on_buffer sets the unplugging going through sync_buffer() running blk_run_address_space(mapping). Or the caller can do it explicity through blk_unplug(bdev). So in the read case, the queue gets explicitly unplugged as part of waiting for completion on that -buffer. For page driven IO, the address space ->sync_page() takes care of -doing the blk_run_address_space(). +buffer. Aside: This is kind of controversial territory, as it's not clear if plugging is |
