blk_lld_busy — Check if underlying low-level drivers of a device are busy
int blk_lld_busy ( | struct request_queue * q) ; |
Check if underlying low-level drivers of a device are busy.
If the drivers want to export their busy state, they must set own
exporting function using blk_queue_lld_busy
first.
Basically, this function is used only by request stacking drivers to stop dispatching requests to underlying devices when underlying devices are busy. This behavior helps more I/O merging on the queue of the request stacking driver and prevents I/O throughput regression on burst I/O load.
