Hi,
So this is a new iteration with some more changes on top of the latest
discussions
we had.
Unfortunately it's not yet a real viable solution. Check out patch 4/5 for
details,
I think that's too much overhead. Also it changes enough the semantics to break
the
idle sleeptime accounting along the way. This is because moving the accounting
to
io_schedule() makes it account _all_ IO sleeptime, even if the CPU is still
busy,
not just when it is idle like before. As a result, the idle sleeptime, that
relies on
a diff against the io sleeptime, is broken.
Anyway, my hope with this new take is mostly to launch a discussion with a
fresher
base and see if we can find better ideas.
Thanks!
