cfq-iosched: Convert from jiffies to nanoseconds
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Convert all time-keeping in CFQ IO scheduler from jiffies to nanoseconds
so that we can later make the intervals more fine-grained than jiffies.
One jiffie is several miliseconds and even for today's rotating disks
that is a noticeable amount of time and thus we leave disk unnecessarily
idle.
