BFQ & CFQ Improvements Land In Linux 4.14
Linus Torvalds has pulled in the block layer updates for the Linux 4.14 kernel merge window.
Jens Axboe considers the new block material for Linux 4.14 to be a "quiet series", but there still are some hearty updates.
Included in this pull are many different fixes, several BFQ improvements, CFQ improvements, support for cgroup info in blktrace, error handling fixes, improvements to IO stats tracking for blk-mq, prep work for NVMe multi-pathing, and other material.
I've been told by Paolo Valente that the BFQ updates should be noticeable. I'll be working on some fresh Linux 4.14 disk/storage tests shortly.
