cfq: async queue allocation per priority
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If we have two processes with different ioprio_class, but the same
ioprio_data, their async requests will fall into the same queue. I guess
such behavior is not expected, because it's not right to put real-time
requests and best-effort requests in the same queue.

The attached patch fixes the problem by introducing additional *cfqq
fields on cfqd, pointing to per-(class,priority) async queues.
