The BFQ I/O scheduler has made its way into the Linux kernel, bringing high responsiveness, low latency for time-sensitive applications, and strong fairness. These improvements are particularly beneficial for embedded systems, given the slower speed and the higher latency of the storage devices of these systems. Yet, some year may pass before major OSes for embedded systems, notably Android, will run recent-enough versions of the Linux kernel to enjoy these improvements. In this presentation, we show the benefits to come (or already available in systems running recent kernels), and compare them with the current latency and unfairness problems of Linux-based embedded systems. In particular, we show these facts through demos and numbers for real hardware.
