* block: Introduce the ioprio rq-qos policyBart Van Assche2021-06-211-0/+19
Introduce an rq-qos policy that assigns an I/O priority to requests based on blk-cgroup configuration settings. This policy has the following advantages over the ioprio_set() system call: - This policy is cgroup based so it has all the advantages of cgroups. - While ioprio_set() does not affect page cache writeback I/O, this rq-qos controller affects page cache writeback I/O for filesystems that support assiociating a cgroup with writeback I/O.
