OR could I restrict the change by judging bio_op as below

+ if (bio_op(bio) == REQ_OP_READ || bio_op(bio) == REQ_OP_WRITE)
+ {
class = IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(bio->bi_ioprio);
level = IOPRIO_PRIO_LEVEL(bio->bi_ioprio);
hint = IOPRIO_PRIO_HINT(bio->bi_ioprio);
bio_for_each_bvec(bv, bio, iter) {
page = bv.bv_page;
activity += PageWorkingset(page) ? 1 : 0;
cnt++;
}
if (activity >= cnt / 2)
class = IOPRIO_CLASS_RT;
else if (activity >= cnt / 4)
class = max(IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS(get_current_ioprio()),
IOPRIO_CLASS_BE);
bio->bi_ioprio = IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE_HINT(class, level, hint);
+ }
submit_bio(bio);
