CFQ read performance regression
Hi Jens, I'm chasing a performance bottleneck identified by tiobench that seems to be caused by CFQ.

On a recent kernels (including vanilla 2.6.34-rc) it makes a... 1 May 2010 08:43

This patch keeps the old default, but allows the user to configure a higher value if desired. I tend to ... 16 Apr 2010 08:21
