From 0cfbcafcae8b7364b5fa96c2b26ccde7a3a296a9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 11:15:51 +0800 Subject: block: add plug for blkdev_issue_discard Last post of this patch appears lost, so I resend this. Now discard merge works, add plug for blkdev_issue_discard. This will help discard request merge especially for raid0 case. In raid0, a big discard request is split to small requests, and if correct plug is added, such small requests can be merged in low layer.
