Hi Shaohua,

Last time we agreed that you will try to extend CFQ iops mode to take care
of this case. I was wondering that if that idea is out of the window?

Also what's the real workload where this is going to benefit us. I had
struggled to run something which drove constantly deep queue depths to
get the fairness without idling.

Thanks
