Thanks!g
I'm a little confused by this proposal because last year the author of bfq, Paolo Valente, worked with the Fedora community to switch to bfq by default on non-NVMe drives [1]. Now another kernel developer is telling us that bfq has performance problems that ostensibly aren't being fixed. So my immediate question is: have these problems been reported to Paolo and what has his response been? From what I can tell bfq was chosen because it improved the responsiveness of the desktop, and so I'm curious where it's falling short. Are there performance issues with workloads that Fedora users are running, or have these latency spikes primarily been seen with Facebook's server workloads?
