> dm: move deferred bio flushing to workqueue To my unpracticed eye this one looks fairly fundamental. Unfortunately the changelog: Add a single-thread workqueue for each mapped device and move flushing of the lists of pushback and deferred bios to this new workqueue. tells us nothing of the reasons for this change. (It should have done so!) It _looks_ pretty unscalable. Perhaps these deferred BIOs don't happen very often? -- 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/
