Subject: [PATCH BUGFIX/IMPROVEMENT 0/4] bfq: two fixes and one improvement related to I/O control

Hi Jens,

while working a little bit on cgroups I/O control, I found two nasty
bugs in bfq. They break bandwidth control in simple configurations
with one-process groups. These bugs are fixed by the first two patches
in this series.

These fixes improved I/O control so much, that I could reduce the
write overcharge factor, used by bfq to counter write-induced
issues. This reduction is performed by the third patch.

The fourth patch contains a little code improvement I made in a
function that has to do with I/O control.

I hope we are still in time for 4.19.

Thanks,
Paolo
