From b8269db456186ecc13469135c64d215883c410f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jens Axboe Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 15:47:29 -0600 Subject: cfq-iosched: temporarily boost queue priority for idle classes If we're queuing REQ_PRIO IO and the task is running at an idle IO class, then temporarily boost the priority. This prevents livelocks due to priority inversion, when a low priority task is holding file system resources while attempting to do IO. An example of that is shown below. An ioniced idle task is holding the directory mutex, while a normal priority task is trying to do a directory lookup.
