From 5f00397644e01adfbebafb5d0ebc01eba522709d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nate Diller Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2006 10:07:58 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [BLOCK] elevator: default choice selection My previous default iosched patch did a poor job dealing with the 'elevator=' boot-time option. The old behavior falls back to the compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot time. This patch dynamically evaluates which default to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler is not available. It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is in use. Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2. Signed-off-by: Nate Diller Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-format-patch failed
