+ * Here's the request allocation design, low latency version:
  *
  * 1: Blocking on request exhaustion is a key part of I/O throttling.
  * 
  * 2: We want to be `fair' to all requesters.  We must avoid starvation, and
  *    attempt to ensure that all requesters sleep for a similar duration.  Hence
  *    no stealing requests when there are other processes waiting.
- * 
- * 3: We also wish to support `batching' of requests.  So when a process is
- *    woken, we want to allow it to allocate a decent number of requests
- *    before it blocks again, so they can be nicely merged (this only really
- *    matters if the process happens to be adding requests near the head of
- *    the queue).
- * 
- * 4: We want to avoid scheduling storms.  This isn't really important, because
- *    the system will be I/O bound anyway.  But it's easy.
- * 
- *    There is tension between requirements 2 and 3.  Once a task has woken,
- *    we don't want to allow it to sleep as soon as it takes its second request.
- *    But we don't want currently-running tasks to steal all the requests
- *    from the sleepers.  We handle this with wakeup hysteresis around
- *    0 .. batch_requests and with the assumption that request taking is much,
- *    much faster than request freeing.
+ *
+ * There used to be more here, attempting to allow a process to send in a
+ * number of requests once it has woken up.  But, there's no way to 
+ * tell if a process has just been woken up, or if it is a new process
+ * coming in to steal requests from the waiters.  So, we give up and force
+ * everyone to wait fairly.
  * 
  * So here's what we do:

  * 
  *  When a process wants a new request:
  * 
- *    b) If free_requests == 0, the requester sleeps in FIFO manner.
- * 
- *    b) If 0 <  free_requests < batch_requests and there are waiters,
- *       we still take a request non-blockingly.  This provides batching.
- *
- *    c) If free_requests >= batch_requests, the caller is immediately
- *       granted a new request.
+ *    b) If free_requests == 0, the requester sleeps in FIFO manner, and
+ *       the queue full condition is set.  The full condition is not
+ *       cleared until there are no longer any waiters.  Once the full
+ *       condition is set, all new io must wait, hopefully for a very

  *  When a request is released:

- *    f) If free_requests >= batch_requests, wake up a single waiter.
+ *    c) If free_requests < batch_requests, do nothing.
  * 
- *   The net effect is that when a process is woken at the batch_requests level,
- *   it will be able to take approximately (batch_requests) requests before
- *   blocking again (at the tail of the queue).
- * 
- *   This all assumes that the rate of taking requests is much, much higher

- * -akpm, Feb 2002.
+ *   As each waiter gets a request, he wakes another waiter.  We do this
+ *   to prevent a race where an unplug might get run before a request makes
+ *   it's way onto the queue.  The result is a cascade of wakeups, so delaying
+ *   the initial wakeup until we've got batch_requests available helps avoid
+ *   wakeups where there aren't any requests available yet.
