Hi Martin,

My understanding is that ionice uses the ioprio_set() system call and hence only affects foreground I/O but not page cache writeback. This is why I introduced the ioprio rq-qos policy (block/blk-ioprio.c). How about not adding CDL support in ioprio_set() and only supporting configuration of CDL via the v2 cgroup mechanism?

Thanks,

Bart.
