Hey, people,
don't you annoy yourselves all the time?
The BFQ patches provide a useful alternative for the code called "legacy" by you, while you're not maintaining the base any more, and just about to invent something new, again. ?!
When blk-mq has no scheduler -> work on it. When you want to develop I/O scheduler APIs -> work on it. Maybe you even want to collaborate with someone, who already has a working solution, meaning Paolo Valente +team, with BFQ. Too much for you?

I don't see any progress with your blk-mq work since years, while Paolo Valente continuously improves and maintains the BFQ.

I need to be a little impolite on here: Several blk maintainers behave as masters of the universe, just to keep up their own view/ claim. That's a real shame for all Linux.

Best regards,
Manuel Krause
