[PATCH] cfq: fix IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE delays

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After the fresh boot:

	ionice -c3 -p $$
	echo cfq >> /sys/block/XXX/queue/scheduler
	dd if=/dev/XXX of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1

Now dd hangs in D state and the queue is completely stalled for approximately
INITIAL_JIFFIES + CFQ_IDLE_GRACE jiffies. This is because cfq_init_queue()
forgets to initialize cfq_data->last_end_request.

(I guess this patch is not complete, overflow is still possible)
