[PATCH BUGFIX IMPROVEMENT 09/14] block, bfq: fix sequential rq detection in rate estimation

From: Paolo Valente
Date: Tue Jan 29 2019 - 06:07:20 EST


In bfq_update_peak_rate, to check whether an I/O request rq is
sequential, only the seek distance of rq w.r.t. the last request
dispatched is controlled. This is not sufficient for non-rotational
storage, where the size of rq is at least as relevant. This commit
adds the missing control.
