Hi, as some of you probably remember, the agreement for merging bfq into mainline provided for the following three steps: 1) make the Block I/O controller ready for generic policies (such as the one of bfq), 2) wipe from cfq all the stuff not related with any feature of bfq, 3) propose bfq as a modification of the resulting trimmed cfq.
Less than two days ago, we have proposed to lkml a patch implementing the first step. And … it has been already already accepted, unchanged.
If you are curious, here is the thread: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/5/822
I do wish to thank Arianna for preparing this patch, and for standing all the revision rounds I have pedantically imposed to her.
Paolo
