Good catch - that was a last minute addition, the ELV_ON_HASH should be
sufficient without the check for blk_queue_nomerges, right?
Yes. With that line reverted it seems to work fine. FWIW, I'm testing
it like so:
=================================x8=======================================
#!/bin/bash
DEV=sdb
echo deadline > /sys/block/${DEV}/queue/scheduler
~/bin-ia64/fio - <<! &
[reader]
filename=/dev/${DEV}
ioengine=sync
direct=1
norandommap
randrepeat=0
zero_buffers
bs=16k
rw=randread:16
numjobs=128
time_based
runtime=600
!
while /bin/true ; do
echo 0 > /sys/block/${DEV}/queue/nomerges
sleep 0.1
echo 1 > /sys/block/${DEV}/queue/nomerges
sleep 0.1
done
