From e7e245000110a7794de8f925b9edc06a9c852f80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 12:11:47 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: don't disallow request merges for req->special being set For blk-mq, if a driver has requested per-request payload data to carry command structures, they are stuffed into req->special. For an old style request based driver, req->special is used for the same purpose but indicates that a per-driver request structure has been prepared for the request already. So for the old style driver, we do not merge such requests. As most/all blk-mq drivers will use the payload feature, and since we have no problem merging on these, make this check dependent on whether it's a blk-mq enabled driver or not.
