Subject[PATCH BUGFIX/IMPROVEMENT 0/2] block, bfq: two pending patches
Date
Hi Jens,
here are again the two pending patches you asked me to resend [1]. One
of them, fixing read-starvation problems, was accompanied by a cover
letter. I'm pasting the content of that cover letter below.

The patch addresses (serious) starvation problems caused by
request-tag exhaustion, as explained in more detail in the commit
message. I started from the solution in the function
kyber_limit_depth, but then I had to define more articulate limits, to
counter starvation also in cases not covered in kyber_limit_depth.
If this solution proves to be effective, I'm willing to port it
somehow to the other schedulers.

Thanks,
Paolo
