Subject: [PATCH] [BZ 192049] udev/dasd: change DASD udev-rule to set none scheduler
From: Stefan Haberland <sth@linux.ibm.com>

Description:   dasd: change default scheduler to reduce CPU consumption
Symptom:       CPU consumption up to 20% higher for mq-deadline
               compared to none scheduler for DASD devices with no
               difference in throughput.
Problem:       Performance analysis showed that with recent DASD
               device drivers using multi-queue block queuing the
               throughput of mq-deadline and none scheduler is nearly
               identical but the CPU consumption of mq-deadline
               scheduler due to its optimizations is up to 20% higher
               compared to none scheduler.
Solution:      Set none scheduler as default in the DASD udev rule.
Reproduction:  Use DASD devices with mq-deadline scheduler.

Upstream-Description:

udev/dasd: change DASD udev-rule to set none scheduler

Performance evaluation showed that using the mq-deadline scheduler for DASD
              devices leads to a significantly higher CPU consumption compared to using
              none scheduler while having the same amount of throughput.
              Setting none scheduler as default in the dasd udev rule.
