On each deactivation or re-scheduling (after being served) of a bfq_queue, BFQ invokes the function __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio(), to perform pending updates of ioprio, weight and ioprio class for the bfq_queue. BFQ also invokes this function on I/O-request dispatches, to raise or lower weights more quickly when needed, thereby improving latency. However, the entity representing the bfq_queue may be on the active (sub)tree of a service tree when this happens, and, although with a very low probability, the bfq_queue may happen to also have a pending change of its ioprio class. If both conditions hold when __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked, then the entity moves to a sort of hybrid state: the new service tree for the entity, as returned by bfq_entity_service_tree(), differs from service tree on which the entity still is. The functions that handle activations and deactivations of entities do not cope with such a hybrid state (and would need to become more complex to cope). This commit addresses this issue by just making __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() not perform also a possible pending change of ioprio class, when invoked on an I/O-request dispatch for a bfq_queue. Such a change is thus postponed to when __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked on deactivation or re-scheduling of the bfq_queue.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
