[PATCH v2 06/16] block: treat DMPG and SWAPIN requests as special

From: Venkatraman S
Date: Thu May 03 2012 - 10:30:30 EST


From: Ilan Smith <ilan.smith@xxxxxxxxxxx>

When exp_swapin and exp_dmpg are set, treat read requests
marked with DMPG and SWAPIN as high priority and move to
the front of the queue.
