Subject: [PATCH BUGFIX/IMPROVEMENT 0/3] bfq: one fix and two important improvements for throughput

Hi Jens,
the second and third patch in this series provide two important
improvements in bfq's ability to boost throughput with random I/O. The
benefits of the second patch concern I/O control, and are described in
detail in this LWN article [1] (and briefly in the commit message
itself). The benefits of the other patch should be
straightforward. Finally, the first patch fixes an I/O-control bug,
found while making the second patch.

These patches modify somehow core operations of bfq, so, before
submitting them, I have tested them a lot, and have had them tested by
other people too. In particular, during these months, they have been
tested in systems ranging from PCs to development platforms.

Thanks,
Paolo

  block, bfq: correctly charge and reset entity service in all cases
  block, bfq: inject other-queue I/O into seeky idle queues on NCQ flash
  blok, bfq: do not plug I/O if all queues are weight-raised
