From f4af3c3d077a004762aaad052049c809fd8c6f0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2011 14:58:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: move queue run on unplug to kblockd There are worries that we are now consuming a lot more stack in some cases, since we potentially call into IO dispatch from schedule() or io_schedule(). We can reduce this problem by moving the running of the queue to kblockd, like the old plugging scheme did as well. This may or may not be a good idea from a performance perspective, depending on how many tasks have queue plugs running at the same time. For even the slightly contended case, doing just a single queue run from kblockd instead of multiple runs directly from the unpluggers will be faster.
