dm table: propagate non rotational flag
Allow QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT to propagate up the device stack if all underlying devices are non-rotational. Tools like ureadahead will schedule IOs differently based on the rotational flag. With this patch, I see boot time go from 7.75 s to 7.46 s on my device. Suggested-by: J.
