    block: Introduce the ioprio rq-qos policy · 556910e3

    Introduce an rq-qos policy that assigns an I/O priority to requests based
    on blk-cgroup configuration settings. This policy has the following
    advantages over the ioprio_set() system call:
    - This policy is cgroup based so it has all the advantages of cgroups.
    - While ioprio_set() does not affect page cache writeback I/O, this rq-qos
      controller affects page cache writeback I/O for filesystems that support
      assiociating a cgroup with writeback I/O. See also
      Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst.
