Hi Christoph,

For which devices is the fair sharing algorithm useful? As far as I know 
the legacy block layer did not have an equivalent of the fair sharing 
algorithm and I'm not aware of any complaints about the legacy block 
layer regarding to fairness. This is why I proposed in January to remove 
the fair sharing code entirely. See also

Thanks,

Bart.
