From 4693c9668fdcec229825b3763876b4744f9e6d5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mandeep Singh Baines Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2011 20:18:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] dm table: propagate non rotational flag Allow QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT to propagate up the device stack if all underlying devices are non-rotational. Tools like ureadahead will schedule IOs differently based on the rotational flag. With this patch, I see boot time go from 7.75 s to 7.46 s on my device. Suggested-by: J.
