[PATCH 3.10 30/70] block: Fix computation of merged request priority

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 19 2014 - 16:30:49 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>

commit ece9c72accdc45c3a9484dacb1125ce572647288 upstream.

Priority of a merged request is computed by ioprio_best(). If one of the
requests has undefined priority (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) and another request
has priority from IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, the function will return the
undefined priority which is wrong. Fix the function to properly return
priority of a request with the defined priority.
