Hi, this is to retry to request to attend the summit. This time I'm trying to propose and agenda topic too. I would like to attend, and propose a topic, because: 1) the project for adding (only) the BFQ I/O scheduler to blk-mq has entered a quite active phase: the framework prepared by Jens seems mostly ready and complete, and I need just a few details to complete the port of BFQ. 2) the landing of BFQ into blk-mq might have possibly important consequences, in a way or the other. So, it might be quite useful for me, and possibly for other developers/stakeholders interested in these changes and consequences, to have the opportunity to talk with each other, exactly when, or right after these changes happen. In addition, a few months ago Greg KH and James Bottomley even suggested to postpone to this summit, or Vault, the KS discussion that I proposed on the unsolved latency problems for which BFQ has been devised. So, my topic proposal would be exactly this: "Unsolved latency problems, related to I/O, in Linux: consequences on lsb-compliant and Android systems, solutions proposed so far, possible next solutions". If needed, I can provide more details on this topic. As for the expertise that I may bring, I'm somehow expert in: guaranteeing a good system and application responsiveness (a low lag in typical Android terminology), providing strong low-latency guarantees to video/audio playing/streaming applications, guaranteeing a fair share of the bandwidth, and not just the time, of I/O resources. I would like to submit a talk proposal to Vault too.
