From e3accac1a976e65491a9b9fba82ce8ddbd3d2389 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Damien Le Moal Date: Tue, 17 Sep 2024 22:32:31 +0900 Subject: block: Fix elv_iosched_local_module handling of "none" scheduler Commit 734e1a860312 ("block: Prevent deadlocks when switching elevators") introduced the function elv_iosched_load_module() to allow loading an elevator module outside of elv_iosched_store() with the target device queue not frozen, to avoid deadlocks. However, the "none" scheduler does not have a module and as a result, elv_iosched_load_module() always returns an error when trying to switch to this valid scheduler. Fix this by ignoring the return value of the request_module() call done by elv_iosched_load_module(). This restores the behavior before commit 734e1a860312, which was to ignore the request_module() result and instead rely on elevator_change() to handle the "none" scheduler case.
