ok, at below code, looks cfq_get_boost returns a value which is always
greater than CFQ_IDLE_DELAY, so the new queue is inserted before __cfqe,
is this intended?

I mean the logic. cfq_cfq_slice_usage does:
slice_used = jiffies - cfqq->slice_start;
if (slice_used > cfqq->allocated_slice)
slice_used = cfqq->allocated_slice;
so the queue doesn't get penalty if it uses more slices than allocated,
looks like a bug here.

previously rb_key is jiffies + offset, where offset is scaled by
priority and sync/async. So if you add two queues with different type
and same priority, sync queue will be dispatched first, while currently
only the inserted time is checked here, so sync queue isn't boosted.
That's why I said original code not just consider priority but also
sync/async
