Hmm... I think we already discussed this but here's a really simple case. There are three unknown workloads A, B and C and we want to give A certain best-effort guarantees (let's say around 80% of the underlying device) whether A is sharing the device with B or C. I get that bfq can be a good compromise on most desktop workloads and behave reasonably well for some server workloads with the slice expiration mechanism but it really isn't an IO resource partitioning mechanism.
