[PATCH 1/5] cfq-iosched: Do not idle if slice_idle=0

From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Wed Aug 11 2010 - 18:44:59 EST


o do not idle either on cfq queue or service tree if slice_idle=0. User does
not want any queue or service tree idling. Currently even if slice_idle=0,
we were waiting for request to finish before expiring the queue and that
can lead to lower queue depths.
