From 6118b70b3a0b4c583439bb77600194c82f220ce3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 09:34:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfq-iosched: get rid of the need for __GFP_NOFAIL in cfq_find_alloc_queue() Setup an emergency fallback cfqq that we allocate at IO scheduler init time. If the slab allocation fails in cfq_find_alloc_queue(), we'll just punt IO to that cfqq instead. This ensures that cfq_find_alloc_queue() never fails without having to ensure free memory. On cfqq lookup, always try to allocate a new cfqq if the given cfq io context has the oom_cfqq assigned. This ensures that we only temporarily punt to this shared queue.
