From 5d381efb3d1f1ef10535a31ca0dd9b22fe1e1922 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Sun, 15 Jan 2012 10:29:48 +0100 Subject: Revert "block: recursive merge requests" This reverts commit 274193224cdabd687d804a26e0150bb20f2dd52c. We have some problems related to selection of empty queues that need to be resolved, evidence so far points to the recursive merge logic making either being the cause or at least the accelerator for this. So revert it for now, until we figure this out.
