Since you explained everything, even if I don't understand all of the details of QFQ/QFQ+ I can in fact be confident in your change. Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
