Bug #2845: Hangs using dsched policys other than noop
http://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2845

* Author: jkolodzi
* Status: New
* Priority: Low
* Assignee: 
* Category: VFS subsystem
* Target version: Unverifiable
----------------------------------------
When using fq or bfq with heavy disk IO on one SATA HDD (where "heavy" means 
running make -j10 buildworld and building chromium and firefox all at the same 
time -- heavy for a single-user el-cheapo Satellite D55 laptop, really light 
for a server) occasionally all disk IO will stop and no new IO can be started, 
including a panic dump from the debugger(!) If top, ps, etc. happen to be in 
the cache it looks like the processes are all stuck in vnode wait status, and 
there seems to be no way to kick them out of that status.

The as policy, on the other hand, takes about 3 IOs to hang. I'm not sure yet 
if processes are also in vnode wait status there.

Putting it as low priority as the default (noop) seems to work perfectly. 
Target should read 4.3.CURRENT but that isn't a choice.
