The BFQ I/O scheduler has been finally ported to blk-mq, and merged into the kernel (from 4.12). We start the first part of this presentation by recalling motivations and benefits of BFQ. Then we report the developments occurred since BFQ has been ported to blk-mq and upstreamed: fixes of important bugs, further throughput improvements for flash-based storage, public performance reports. In the second part of the presentation, we deal with the near future of BFQ, characterized by two great challenges. The first is to keep throughput high, while, at the same time, providing strong guarantees on fairness, bandwidth distribution and latency. The second great challenge is to achieve this combined goal with the low overhead imposed by modern devices. As a last part, we try to have a look at the future of BFQ, and of the latency issues that still affect many, if not most Linux-based systems
