This is the per-I/O equivalent of the ioprio_set system call.
See the following link for performance implications on a SATA HDD:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/6/495
First patch factors ioprio_check_cap function out of ioprio_set system call to
also be used by the aio ioprio interface.
Second patch converts kiocb ki_hint field to a u16 to avoid kiocb bloat.
Third patch passes ioprio hint from aio iocb to kiocb and enables block_dev
usage of the per I/O ioprio feature.
v2: merge patches
use IOCB_FLAG_IOPRIO
validate intended use with IOCB_IOPRIO
add linux-api and linux-block to cc
v3: add ioprio_check_cap function
convert kiocb ki_hint to u16
use ioprio_check_cap when adding ioprio to kiocb in aio.c
Adam Manzanares (3):
block: add ioprio_check_cap function
fs: Convert kiocb rw_hint from enum to u16
fs: Add aio iopriority support for block_dev
