+ * The problem is that idling may significantly reduce
+ * throughput with certain combinations of types of I/O and
+ * devices. An important example is sync random I/O, on flash
+ * storage with command queueing. So, unless bfqq falls in the
+ * above cases where idling also boosts throughput, it would
+ * be important to check conditions (i) and (ii) accurately,
+ * so as to avoid idling when not strictly needed for service
+ * guarantees.
+ *
+ * Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to thoroughly
+ * check condition (ii). And, in case there are active groups,
+ * it becomes very difficult to check condition (i) too. In
+ * fact, if there are active groups, then, for condition (i)
+ * to become false, it is enough that an active group contains
+ * more active processes or sub-groups than some other active
+ * group. We address this issue with the following bi-modal
+ * behavior, implemented in the function
+ * bfq_symmetric_scenario().
