When a group is resumed, if it doesn't have workload slice left,
we should set workload_expires as expired. Otherwise, we might
start from where we left in previous group by error.
Thanks the idea from Corrado.

I think I have hit following BUG_ON() in cfq_dispatch_request().
BUG_ON(RB_EMPTY_ROOT(&cfqq->sort_list));
Please find attached the patch to fix it. I have done some stress testing
with it and have not seen it happening again.
o We should wait on a queue even after slice expiry only if it is empty. If
queue is not empty then continue to expire it.
o If we decide to keep the queue then make cfqq=NULL. Otherwise select_queue()
will return a valid cfqq and cfq_dispatch_request() can hit following
BUG_ON().

If there is a sequential reader running in a group, we wait for next request
to come in that group after slice expiry and once new request is in, we expire
the queue. Otherwise we delete the group from service tree and group looses
its fair share.
So far I was marking a queue as wait_busy if it had consumed its slice and
it was last queue in the group. But this condition did not cover following
two cases.
1.If a request completed and slice has not expired yet. Next request comes
in and is dispatched to disk. Now select_queue() hits and slice has expired.
This group will be deleted. Because request is still in the disk, this queue
will never get a chance to wait_busy.
2.If request completed and slice has not expired yet. Before next request
comes in (delay due to think time), select_queue() hits and expires the
queue hence group. This queue never got a chance to wait busy.
Gui was hitting the boundary condition 1 and not getting fairness numbers
proportional to weight.
This patch puts the checks for above two conditions and improves the fairness
numbers for sequential workload on rotational media. Check in select_queue()
takes care of case 1 and additional check in should_wait_busy() takes care
of case 2.

After the merge of the IO controller patches, booting on my megaraid
box ran much slower. Vivek Goyal traced it down to megaraid discovery
creating tons of devices, each suffering a grace period when they later
kill that queue (if no device is found).
So lets use call_rcu() to batch these deferred frees, instead of taking
the grace period hit for each one.

o One of the goals of block IO controller is that it should be able to
support mulitple io control policies, some of which be operational at
higher level in storage hierarchy.
o To begin with, we had one io controlling policy implemented by CFQ, and
I hard coded the CFQ functions called by blkio. This created issues when
CFQ is compiled as module.
o This patch implements a basic dynamic io controlling policy registration
functionality in blkio. This is similar to elevator functionality where
ioschedulers register the functions dynamically.
o Now in future, when more IO controlling policies are implemented, these
can dynakically register with block IO controller.

o rq_noidle() is supposed to tell cfq that do not expect a request after this
one, hence don't idle. But this does not seem to work very well. For example
for direct random readers, rq_noidle = 1 but there is next request coming
after this. Not idling, leads to a group not getting its share even if
group_isolation=1.
o The right solution for this issue is to scan the higher layers and set
right flag (WRITE_SYNC or WRITE_ODIRECT). For the time being, this single
line fix helps. This should not have any significant impact when we are
not using cgroups. I will later figure out IO paths in higher layer and
fix it.

o If a group is running only a random reader, then it will not have enough
traffic to keep disk busy and we will reduce overall throughput. This
should result in better latencies for random reader though. If we don't
idle on random reader service tree, then this random reader will experience
large latencies if there are other groups present in system with sequential
readers running in these.
o One solution suggested by corrado is that by default keep the random readers
or sync-noidle workload in root group so that during one dispatch round
we idle only once on sync-noidle tree. This means that all the sync-idle
workload queues will be in their respective group and we will see service
differentiation in those but not on sync-noidle workload.
o Provide a tunable group_isolation. If set, this will make sure that even
sync-noidle queues go in their respective group and we wait on these. This
provides stronger isolation between groups but at the expense of throughput
if group does not have enough traffic to keep the disk busy.
o By default group_isolation = 0

o Async queues are not per group. Instead these are system wide and maintained
in root group. Hence their workload slice length should be calculated
based on total number of queues in the system and not just queues in the
root group.
o As root group's default weight is 1000, make sure to charge async queue
more in terms of vtime so that it does not get more time on disk because
root group has higher weight.

Since commit 2f5cb7381b737e24c8046fd4aeab571fb71315f5, each queue can send
up to 4 * 4 requests if only one queue exists. I wonder why we have such limit.
Device supports tag can send more requests. For example, AHCI can send 31
requests. Test (direct aio randread) shows the limits reduce about 4% disk
thoughput.
On the other hand, since we send one request one time, if other queue
pop when current is sending more than cfq_quantum requests, current queue will
stop send requests soon after one request, so sounds there is no big latency.

Idling logic was disabled in some corner cases, leading to unfair share
for noidle queues.
* the idle timer was not armed if there were other requests in the
driver. unfortunately, those requests could come from other workloads,
or queues for which we don't enable idling. So we will check only
pending requests from the active queue
* rq_noidle check on no-idle queue could disable the end of tree idle if
the last completed request was rq_noidle. Now, we will disable that
idle only if all the queues served in the no-idle tree had rq_noidle
requests.

Seeky sync queues with large depth can gain unfairly big share of disk
time, at the expense of other seeky queues. This patch ensures that
idling will be enabled for queues with I/O depth at least 4, and small
think time. The decision to enable idling is sticky, until an idle
window times out without seeing a new request.
The reasoning behind the decision is that, if an application is using
large I/O depth, it is already optimized to make full utilization of
the hardware, and therefore we reserve a slice of exclusive use for it.

An incoming no-idle queue should preempt the active no-idle queue
only if the active queue is idling due to service tree empty.
Previous code was buggy in two ways:
* it relied on service_tree field to be set on the active queue, while
it is not set when the code is idling for a new request
* it didn't check for the service tree empty condition, so could lead to
LIFO behaviour if multiple queues with depth > 1 were preempting each
other on an non-NCQ device.

CFQ's detection of queueing devices initially assumes a queuing device
and detects if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold.
However, it will reconsider this choice periodically.
Unfortunately, if device is considered not queuing, CFQ will force a
unit queue depth for some workloads, thus defeating the detection logic.
This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware,
since the idle window remains enabled.
Given this premise, switching to hw_tag = 0 after we have proved at
least once that the device is NCQ capable is not a good choice.
The new detection code starts in an indeterminate state, in which CFQ behaves
as if hw_tag = 1, and then, if for a long observation period we never saw
large depth, we switch to hw_tag = 0, otherwise we stick to hw_tag = 1,
without reconsidering it again.

cfq_should_idle returns false for no-idle queues that are not the last,
so the control flow will never reach the removed code in a state that
satisfies the if condition.
The unreachable code was added to emulate previous cfq behaviour for
non-NCQ rotational devices. My tests show that even without it, the
performances and fairness are comparable with previous cfq, thanks to
the fact that all seeky queues are grouped together, and that we idle at
the end of the tree.

For the moment, different workload cfq queues are put into different
service trees. But CFQ still uses "busy_queues" to estimate rb_key
offset when inserting a cfq queue into a service tree. I think this
isn't appropriate, and it should make use of service tree count to do
this estimation. This patch is for for-2.6.33 branch.

The fix makes sure that the next_rq is computed from the last
dispatched request, and not affected by merging.

We need to rework this logic post the cooperating cfq_queue merging,
for now just get rid of it and Jeff Moyer will fix the fall out.

We ended up with testing the same condition twice, pretty
pointless. Remove that first if.

CFQ has an optimization for cooperated applications. if several
io-context have close requests, they will get boost. But the
optimization get abused. Considering thread a, b, which work on one
file. a reads sectors s, s+2, s+4, ...; b reads sectors s+1, s+3, s
+5, ... Both a and b are sequential read, so they can open idle window.
a reads a sector s and goes to idle window and wakeup b. b reads sector
s+1, since in current implementation, cfq_should_preempt() thinks a and
b are cooperators, b will preempt a. b then reads sector s+1 and goes to
idle window and wakeup a. for the same reason, a will preempt b and
reads s+2. a and b will continue the circle. The circle will be very
long, and a and b will occupy whole disk queue. Other applications will
nearly have no chance to run.
Fix this limiting coop preempt until a queue is scheduled normally
again.

Commit a6151c3a5c8e1ff5a28450bc8d6a99a2a0add0a7 inadvertently reversed
a preempt condition check, potentially causing a performance regression.
Make the meta check correct again.
