Yes, only checking the empty status of bio queue is enough. The check of dispatched ios and bytes was used to ensure the time slice had not been used, but the logic is incorrect: even if the time slice had been used, the extend of time slice is needed if the timer slacked. > Can you please try following patch. It seems to resolve the issue for me.
