    [BLOCK] cfq-iosched: seek and async performance fixes · 206dc69b
    Jens Axboe authored
    Detect whether a given process is seeky and if so disable (mostly) the
    idle window if it is. We still allow just a little idle time, just enough
    to allow that process to submit a new request. That is needed to maintain
    fairness across priority groups.
    
    In some cases, we could setup several async queues. This is not optimal
    from a performance POV, since we want all async io in one queue to perform
    good sorting on it. It also impacted sync queues, as async io got too much
    slice time.
