[PATCH BUGFIX IMPROVEMENT V2 0/7] boost throughput with synced I/O, reduce latency and fix a bandwidth bug

[Paolo Valente]

[SAME AS V1, APART FROM SRIVATSA ADDED AS REPORTER]

Hi Jens,
this series, based against for-5.3/block, contains:
1) The improvements to recover the throughput loss reported by
   Srivatsa [1] (first five patches)
2) A preemption improvement to reduce I/O latency
3) A fix of a subtle bug causing loss of control over I/O bandwidths

Thanks,
Paolo
