From 99e22598e9a8e0a996d69c8c0f6b7027cb57720a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 09:59:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: drop queue lock before calling __blk_run_queue() for kblockd punt If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a safe bit test and a workqueue call. Since kblockd needs to grab this very lock as one of the first things it does, it's a good optimization to drop the lock before waking kblockd.
