Ah, if !io_q.plugged we must be in the -EAGAIN case, so no need to "submit immediately if queue depth is above 2/3". Can you rewrite the comment like this: /* This is reached in two cases: queue not plugged but io_submit * returned -EAGAIN, or queue plugged. In the latter case, start * submitting some I/O if the queue is getting too full. In the * former case, instead, wait until an I/O operation is completed. */ if (likely(idx <= s->io_q.size * 2 / 3) || unlikely(!s->io_q.plugged) { return 0; } Paolo
