Subject: [PATCH] Add blk_start_queueing() helper
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~640^2~34
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dc72ef4ae35c2016fb594bcc85ce871376682174;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

[PATCH] Add blk_start_queueing() helper

CFQ implements this on its own now, but it's really block layer
knowledge. Tells a device queue to start dispatching requests to
the driver, taking care to unplug if needed. Also fixes the issue
where as/cfq will invoke a stopped queue, which we really don't
want.
