From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 17:28:35 +0000 (+0200) Subject: elevator: check for ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE in !elvpriv case too X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3aa72873ffdcc2f7919743efbbefc351ec73f5cb;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal7580.git elevator: check for ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE in !elvpriv case too The sort insert is the one that goes to the IO scheduler. With the SORT_MERGE addition, we could bypass IO scheduler setup but still ask the IO scheduler to insert the request. This would cause an oops on switching IO schedulers through the sysfs interface, unless the disk just happened to be idle while it occured.
