      block: Added in stricter no merge semantics for block I/O · 488991e2
      Alan D. Brunelle 提交于
      Updated 'nomerges' tunable to accept a value of '2' - indicating that _no_
      merges at all are to be attempted (not even the simple one-hit cache).
      
      The following table illustrates the additional benefit - 5 minute runs of
      a random I/O load were applied to a dozen devices on a 16-way x86_64 system.
