This patch implements the code to gather the content of the independent_access_ranges structure from the request_queue and copy it into the queue's bfq_data. This copy is done at queue initialization. We copy the access ranges into the bfq_data to avoid taking the queue lock each time we access the ranges. This implementation, however, puts a limit to the maximum independent ranges supported by the scheduler. Such a limit is equal to the constant BFQ_MAX_ACTUATORS. This limit was placed to avoid the allocation of dynamic memory.

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.
