[PATCH v2 0/5] x86: Cleanups around slow_down_io()
Posted by Juergen Gross 2 days ago
While looking at paravirt cleanups I stumbled over slow_down_io() and
the related REALLY_SLOW_IO define.

Do several cleanups, resulting in a deletion of REALLY_SLOW_IO and the
io_delay() paravirt function hook.

Patch 4 is removing the config options for selecting the default delay
mechanism and sets the default to "no delay". This is in preparation of
removing the io_delay() functionality completely, as suggested by Ingo
Molnar.

Patch 5 is adding an additional config option allowing to avoid
building io_delay.c (default is still to build it).

Changes in V2:
- patches 2 and 3 of V1 have been applied
- new patches 4 and 5

Juergen Gross (5):
  x86/paravirt: Replace io_delay() hook with a bool
  block/floppy: Don't use REALLY_SLOW_IO for delays
  x86/io: Remove REALLY_SLOW_IO handling
  x86/io_delay: Switch io_delay() default mechanism to "none"
  x86/io_delay: Add config option for controlling build of io_delay.
