      block: make unplug timer trace event correspond to the schedule() unplug · 49cac01e
      Jens Axboe authored
      It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering
      would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new
      scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is.
      It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug)
      or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO
      queued).

      block: let io_schedule() flush the plug inline · a237c1c5
      Jens Axboe authored
      Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases
      are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons.
      The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to
      avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental"
      flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd,
      we should be able to get the best of both worlds.
      
      So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd,
      and only use that from the schedule() path.
