Is there more discussion on this somewhere? When was the problem introduced?
Bit of a long shot, but it fits the description of some problems I have
noticed recently.
It has been quite a while coming. The problem has been there for a long
time, but there is no "regression" that would not exist in eg. deadline
scheduler.
Basically it used to "miss" opportunities to do read anticipation where it
should pay off, and now it misses less.
A description of / pointer to your problems would be interesting.
