Yes, I have thought of it, but it seems to me that time slice is deeply
involved within the cfq(even current cfq's iops mode has used time slice
to calculate). So I don't think it is feasible for me to change it. And
cfq works perfectly well for sas/sata environment and the code is quite
stable, more codes and more complicate algorithm does mean more bugs. So
I guess a new iops based scheduler is easy and not intrusive for the
user(since he can choose whether to use it or not).
Thanks
