IIRC, with vanilla CFQ, sequential writing can overwhelm random readers, too. I'm basing this assumption on the observations I made on both OpenSuse 11.1 and Ubuntu 9.10 alpha6 which I described in my posting on LKML titled: "Poor desktop responsiveness with background I/O-operations" of 2009-09-20. (Message ID: 4AB59CBB.8090907@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) Thus, I'm posting this to show that your work is greatly appreciated, given the rather disappointig status quo of Linux's fairness when it comes to disk IO time. I hope that your efforts lead to a change in performance of current userland applications, the sooner, the better.
