From 66d352e1e410dcea22fecb9fa9ec09dd23a62e1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao Date: Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:45:54 +0900 Subject: xen-blkfront: set queue paravirt flag Xen's blkfront sets noop as the default I/O scheduler at initialization time to avoid elevator overheads such as idling, but with the advent of basic disk profiling capabilities this is not necessary anymore. We should just tell the block layer that we are a paravirt front-end driver and the elevator will automatically make the necessary adjustments.
