From e4ea0c16a85d221ebcc3a21f32e321440459e0fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shaohua Li writes Date: Mon, 13 Dec 2010 14:32:22 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block cfq: select new workload if priority changed If priority is changed, continuing to check workload_expires and service tree count of the previous workload does not make sense. We should always choose the workload with lowest key of new priority in such case.
