From c21e6beba8835d09bb80e34961430b13e60381c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2011 13:32:46 +0200 Subject: block: get rid of QUEUE_FLAG_REENTER We are currently using this flag to check whether it's safe to call into ->request_fn(). If it is set, we punt to kblockd. But we get a lot of false positives and excessive punts to kblockd, which hurts performance. The only real abuser of this infrastructure is SCSI. So export the async queue run and convert SCSI over to use that. There's room for improvement in that SCSI need not always use the async call, but this fixes our performance issue and they can fix that up in due time.
