Subject: elevator: don't sort reads between writes
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=783660b2f60418144e168ab75a06786f9695fc70;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

elevator: don't sort reads between writes

Don't allow elv_dispatch_sort() to mix reads and writes together,
it's rarely a good idea.
