From e3ba9ae58a5599226e3976b29c8093041ae7c332 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:42:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: reserve some tags just for sync IO By only allowing async IO to consume 3/4 ths of the tag depth, we always have slots free to serve sync IO. This is important to avoid having writes fill the entire tag queue, thus starving reads. Original patch and idea from Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-format-patch failed
