| Subject: [PATCH] block, bfq: do not insert oom queue into position tree |
| |
| commit 32c59e3a9a5a0b180dd015755d6d18ca31e55935 upstream. |
| |
| BFQ maintains an ordered list, implemented with an RB tree, of |
| head-request positions of non-empty bfq_queues. This position tree, |
| inherited from CFQ, is used to find bfq_queues that contain I/O close |
| to each other. BFQ merges these bfq_queues into a single shared queue, |
| if this boosts throughput on the device at hand. |
| |
| There is however a special-purpose bfq_queue that does not participate |
| in queue merging, the oom bfq_queue. Yet, also this bfq_queue could be |
| wrongly added to the position tree. So bfqq_find_close() could return |
| the oom bfq_queue, which is a source of further troubles in an |
| out-of-memory situation. This commit prevents the oom bfq_queue from |
| being inserted into the position tree. |
