Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I run make-kpkg as follows:

nice ionice -c3 /usr/src/amd64.sh where the script contains:

CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-4.9 LD=ld.gold CFLAGS=-march=athlon64" \
make-kpkg --config menuconfig --initrd linux-image

on a 4-core Athlon 64 machine with 8 GB of RAM.

during the stage:

  LINK    vmlinux
  LD      vmlinux.o
  MODPOST vmlinux.o
  GEN     .version
  CHK     include/generated/compile.h
  UPD     include/generated/compile.h
  CC      init/version.o
  LD      init/built-in.o
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms1.o
  KSYM    .tmp_kallsyms2.o
  LD      vmlinux
  SORTEX  vmlinux
  SYSMAP  System.map

other processes using the same disk get I/O starved and pause (e.g. playing
a video file on the same disk).

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Is there anyway to get the kernel build process to take second place to 
other I/O on the same disk and not starve other I/O on the same disk?

PS, I'm using:

io scheduler cfq registered (default)
