Subject[PATCH 7/7] block: drop irq+lock when flushing queue plugs
Date
Not convinced this is a faster approach, and it does look IRQs off
longer than otherwise. With mq+scheduling, it's a problem since
it forces us to offload the queue running. If we get rid of it,
we can run the queue without the queue lock held.
