SIO I/O Scheduler (updated for Linux kernel 3.18 or above, patched by flar2)

sio-iosched.c

/*
 * Simple IO scheduler
 * Based on Noop, Deadline and V(R) IO schedulers.
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2012 Miguel Boton <[email protected]>
 *
 *
 * This algorithm does not do any kind of sorting, as it is aimed for
 * aleatory access devices, but it does some basic merging. We try to
 * keep minimum overhead to achieve low latency.
 *
 * Asynchronous and synchronous requests are not treated separately, but
 * we relay on deadlines to ensure fairness.
