From 9817064b68fef7e4580c6df1ea597e106b9ff88b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 09:23:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] elevator: move the backmerging logic into the elevator core Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as well. Win-win!
