From 6631e635c65dc33cb798cc2f51d0ddd69ada6319 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2011 08:08:20 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] block: don't flush plugged IO on forced preemtion scheduling We really only want to unplug the pending IO when the process actually goes to sleep. So move the test for flushing the plug up to the place where we actually deactivate the task - where we have properly checked for preemption and for the process really sleeping.
