Hello Sir, I have a question about the I/O scheduler in kernel 5.2.9 in the new kernel, which I/O scheduler should be used by legacy rotating drive? Such as sata HDD? During FIO testing with libaio, I had create multiple thread in the testing, and then found 512k and bigger sequent write had bad performance result. Even I had enable and use BFQ scheduler. There has no sq scheduler anymore, only has none, mq-deadline, kyber and BFQ. Mq-deadline and kyber is for fast block device. Only the BFQ looks better performance, but it can't keep the good behavior during 512k or bigger 100% seq write. Could you give me some advices what parameter should I change for multiple thread bigger file seq writing? Thanks all of you.

These two patches should clear up this situation, but as it's not quite clear what the original intention of the code was I'll be posting them as an RFC. So as usual, comments and reviews are welcome.
