[PATCH] virtio_blk: merge S/G list entries by default

From: Christoph Hellwig
Date: Sat Sep 06 2014 - 19:07:41 EST


Most virtio setups have a fairly limited number of ring entries available.
Enable S/G entry merging by default to fit into less of them. This restores
the behavior at time of the virtio-blk blk-mq conversion, which was changed
by commit "block: add queue flag for disabling SG merging" which made the
behavior optional, but didn't update the existing drivers to keep their
previous behavior.
