[BLOCK] Implement elv_drain_elevator for improved switch error detection
This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
