[PATCH BUGFIX] attempt to fix wrong scheduler selection
From: Paolo Valente
Date: Mon Feb 13 2017 - 16:01:36 EST
Hi,
if, at boot, a legacy I/O scheduler is chosen for a device using
blk-mq, or, viceversa, a blk-mq scheduler is chosen for a device using
blk, then that scheduler is set and initialized without any check,
driving the system into an inconsistent state.
The purpose of this message is, first, to report this issue, and,
second, to propose a possible fix in case you do consider this as a
bug.
Thanks,
Paolo
