From caaa5f9f0a75d1dc5e812e69afdbb8720e077fd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2006 11:23:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] cfq-iosched: many performance fixes This is a collection of patches that greatly improve CFQ performance in some circumstances. - Change the idling logic to only kick in after a request is done and we are deciding what to do. Before the idling included the request service time, so it was hard to adjust. Now it's true think/idle time. - Take advantage of TCQ/NCQ/queueing for seeky sync workloads, but keep it in control for sync and sequential (or close to) workloads. - Expire queues immediately and move on to other busy queues, if we are not going to idle after the current one finishes. - Don't rearm idle timer if there are no busy queues. Just leave the system idle. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-format-patch failed
