Taken from an idea used for FQ_CODEL, we give the first request of a new request flows a small priority boost. These flows are likely to correspond with short, interactive tasks and so be more latency sensitive than the longer free running queues. As soon as the client has more than one request in the queue, further requests are not boosted and it settles down into ordinary steady state behaviour. Such small kicks dramatically help combat the starvation issue, by allowing each client the opportunity to run even when the system is under heavy throughput load (within the constraints of the user selected priority). v2: Mark the preempted request as the start of a new flow, to prevent a single client being continually gazumped by its peers.
