From a299738283a654544c75167d190d9e87b77e5fb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ken Chen Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 15:25:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] use cheaper elv_queue_empty when unplug a device In function __generic_unplug_device(), kernel can use a cheaper function elv_queue_empty() instead of more expensive elv_next_request to find whether the queue is empty or not. blk_run_queue can also made conditional on whether queue's emptiness before calling request_fn().
