From 79da0644a8e0838522828f106e4049639eea6baf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2010 08:40:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "block: improve queue_should_plug() by looking at IO depths" This reverts commit fb1e75389bd06fd5987e9cda1b4e0305c782f854. "Benjamin S." reports that the patch in question causes a big drop in sequential throughput for him, dropping from 200MB/sec down to only 70MB/sec. Needs to be investigated more fully, for now lets just revert the offending commit.
