The changes made were never half-done. The recent bug fixes have

sorry i did not mean to offend you - unadjusted and unfixed stuff hanging
around in the kernel for months is 'half done' for me.

the first reports about bad write performance came right after the
original elevator patches went in, about 6 months ago.

And a new elevator was introduced some months ago to solve this.

and these are still not solved in the vanilla kernel, as recent complaints
on l-k prove.
