[2.6.22.2 review 66/84] cfq-iosched: fix async queue behaviour

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Aug 07 2007 - 17:21:56 EST


From: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@xxxxxxxxxx>

With the cfq_queue hash removal, we inadvertently got rid of the
async queue sharing. This was not intentional, in fact CFQ purposely
shares the async queue per priority level to get good merging for
async writes.

So put some logic in cfq_get_queue() to track the shared queues.
