[PATCH RFC V8 04/22] block, cfq: remove SSD-related logic

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Arianna Avanzini <avanzini.arianna@xxxxxxxxx>

CFQ disables idling for SSD devices to achieve a higher throughput. As
for seeky queues (see the previous commit), BFQ makes idling decisions
for SSD devices in a more complex way, according to a unified strategy
for boosting the throughput while at the same preserving strong
throughput-distribution and latency guarantees. This commit then
removes the CFQ mechanism.
