[PATCH] softirq block request completion
From: Jens Axboe
Date: Thu Oct 21 2004 - 03:53:58 EST
Hi,
I wanted to play with this after the io completion latency talks started
some time ago. So I got an hour to do so this morning, this is what I
came up with. It's only lightly tested, but it does boot and survives a
dbench on IDE and SCSI.
This is just an RFC, not a call for inclusion (as if the above should
not be enough of a warning :-)
