I'm not sure what you mean by that? > So we implement the elevator algorithm, but limit the number of requests that we can put in each 'car'. Elevators themselves are sometimes call 'cars' for reasons I have no clue about. So we only put N requests into the sorting algorithm. We put the next request at the end, unsorted, and that has the side effect of starting over so the net request after that is sorted against the last one, but not the first N. This is to help bound software queuing latency. > This change starts tracking the total number of BIOs on the queue, but > doesn't actually do anything with that value. > Oh, you're right. We have a sysctl that counts them, I think, in Netflix's code base (or did, I can't find it in the current sources)... I should remove that from here. I'm surprised I didn't notice that before. > When there are more requests batched than the limit, your comment say you > "start over", and the code says you bioq_insert_tail().
