This whole patch set lacks some sort of reasoning why this makes sense. I'm assuming you want to reduce unnecessary restarts of the queue? I would much rather ensure that we only start when we absolutely have to to begin with, I'm pretty sure we have a number of cases where that is not so. What happens with fluid congestion boundaries, with shared tags? -- Jens Axboe
