[Disksim-users] A question about time-limited request

[Greg Ganger]

No.  If it finishes before the time limit, its generator doesn't block
waiting on it.  Think of it like a prefetch, for example, where the
reader only blocks if the prefetch doesn't finish before the reader
actually needs the data.
