| |
Alex Shi reported a kbuild regression which is about 10% performance lost. He bisected to this commit: 3dde36ddea3e07dd025c4c1ba47edec91606fec0. The reason is cfqq_close() can't find close cooperator. If we store the seek distance to the value before the commit like below, the regression fully goes away. If this is too invasive, just changing the cfq_rq_close() for the !for_preempt is ok too.
