From bb813f4c933ae9f887a014483690d5f8b8ec05e1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 14:05:56 -0800 Subject: init, block: try to load default elevator module early during boot This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or initrd is made available and right before control is passed to userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the default modules are loaded as soon as possible. This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator init path. v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK. Reported by kbuild test robot.
