Because we are not idling, throughput of randread workload has gone down.
Can you make sure it does not go down in case of launching firefox in
the presence of buffered writers. I want to make sure we got thinktime
logic right and we don't end up not idling even when thinktimes are
low.

I think we could do.

if (cfq_cfqq_on_rr(cfqq)
	service_tree = cfqq->service_tree;
else
	service_tree = service_tree_for();
