Hi Jens,

A feature that is missing from the Linux kernel for storage devices that
support I/O priorities is to set the I/O priority in requests involving page
cache writeback. Since the identity of the process that triggers page cache
writeback is not known in the writeback code, the priority set by ioprio_set()
is ignored. However, an I/O cgroup is associated with writeback requests
by certain filesystems. Hence this patch series that implements the following
changes:
* Add an rq-qos policy that makes the I/O priority configurable per I/O cgroup
  and also that changes the I/O priority of requests to the lower of (request
  I/O priority, cgroup I/O priority).
* Introduce one queue per I/O priority in the mq-deadline scheduler.
* Dispatch the highest priority requests first.

Please consider this patch series for kernel v5.14.

Thanks,

Bart.

Changes compared to v1:
- Moved the code for assigning an I/O priority into a new rq-qos policy.
- Dropped patch "block/mq-deadline: Reduce the read expiry time for
  non-rotational media".
- Made sure that dd->async_depth >= 1.
- Implemented an aging mechanism such that lower priority requests are not
  postponed forever.
