Subject: [RFC PATCH 3/5] cfq-iosched: reimplement priorities using different service trees

We use different service trees for different priority classes.
This allows a simplification in the service tree insertion code, that no
longer has to consider priority while walking the tree.

WL?

Don't do it...

static struct cfq_rb_root *service_tree_for(enum wl_prio_t prio,
struct cfq_data *cfqd)
{
if (prio == IDLE_WL)
return &cfqd->service_tree_idle;

return &cfqd->service_trees[prio];
}

much cleaner. There are more of these in this patch.

Otherwise it looks sane, and I agree that making the insert cleaner here
is a good bonus.

It stands for "workload". When defining all-caps constants, one has to
avoid possible clashes adding pre/suf-fixes.
Any suggestion for better naming?

I don't see much difference: my brain just translates the former in
the latter, and the former takes up less screen space.
But you are the maintainer, so I'll write it as you want.

Nobody will guess that. Make variable/enum names as short as possible,
but not so short that their meaning are incomprehensible. Suggestion
would be to use IDLE_WORKLOAD etc.
