cfq-iosched: no need to keep track of busy_rt_queues
|
|
o Get rid of busy_rt_queues infrastructure. Looks like it is redundant.
o Once an RT queue gets request it will preempt any of the BE or IDLE queues
immediately. Otherwise this queue will be put on service tree and scheduler
will anyway select this queue before any of the BE or IDLE queue. Hence
looks like there is no need to keep track of how many busy RT queues are
currently on service tree.
o I ran one RT reader and two BE readers. Can't see preemption due to
busy_rt_queues kicking in.
