From 1aa4f24fe96938cabe7a1e9da8bc3bfbd1dfe3fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2006 08:33:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Remove queue merging hooks We have full flexibility of merging parameters now, so we can remove the hooks that define back/front/request merge strategies. Nobody is using them anymore.

It expects the caller to know that rq->bio has to be reset to the original bio, and it will silently do nothing if that is not done. Instead make it explicit that we need to pass in the first bio, by expecting a bio argument.

This can cause really bad starvation and unfairness, if those ios happen to be synchronous (reads or direct writes). So add a allow_merge hook to the io scheduler ops, so an io scheduler can help decide whether a bio/process combination may be merged with an existing request.
