Right, I'll remove the mentioning of CFQ here and in the introductory sentence. The introductory sentence also mentions "basic io priorities are supported for reads on files", a limitation which hasn't been there in a long time.

This doc hasn't been touched in a while, in the meantime some new io schedulers were added (e.g. all of mq), some with ioprio support. Signed-off-by: Christian Loehle <christian.loehle@arm.com> --- Documentation/block/ioprio.rst | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
