      [PATCH] cfq-iosched: don't allow sync merges across queues · da775265
      Jens Axboe authored
      Currently we allow any merge, even if the io originates from different
      processes. 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.
