The BFQ scheduler and ioprio_check_cap() both assume that the RT priority class (IOPRIO_CLASS_RT) can have up to 8 different priority levels, similarly to the BE class (IOPRIO_CLASS_iBE). This is controlled using the IOPRIO_BE_NR macro , which is badly named as the number of levels also applies to the RT class. Introduce the class independent IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS macro, defined to 8, to make things clear. Keep the old IOPRIO_BE_NR macro definition as an alias for IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
