Hi, I'm currently tracing the I/O path of the kernel (2.6.19 release)
for the I/O scheduler, as far I as know, io_context is currently based on per-process basis. so, when an user process issued an I/O, the request generated in the kernel will be associated to the io_context of the "current" process, right? but, isn't there some request generated in the kernel code which is not relevant to the I/O pattern of the "current" user process? for example, when the request generated to handle the page fault or the kernel is paging out other process' pages due to memory pressure. is this an issue or did I miss something? thanks in advance for clearifying this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
