queue_sector_alignment_offset returned the wrong value which caused
partitions to report an incorrect alignment_offset. Since offset
alignment calculation is needed several places it has been split into a
separate helper function. The topology stacking function has been
updated accordingly.
Furthermore, comments have been added to clarify how the stacking
function works.

seek_mean could be very big sometimes, using it as close criteria is meaningless
as this doen't improve any performance. So if it's big, let's fallback to
default value.

The stacking code incorrectly scaled up the data offset in some cases
causing misaligned devices to report alignment. Rewrite the stacking
algorithm to remedy this and apply the same alignment principles to the
discard handling.

o CFQ now internally divides cfq queues in therr workload categories. sync-idle,
sync-noidle and async. Which workload to run depends primarily on rb_key
offset across three service trees. Which is a combination of mulitiple things
including what time queue got queued on the service tree.
There is one exception though. That is if we switched the prio class, say
we served some RT tasks and again started serving BE class, then with-in
BE class we always started with sync-noidle workload irrespective of rb_key
offset in service trees.
This can provide better latencies for sync-noidle workload in the presence
of RT tasks.
o This patch gets rid of that exception and which workload to run with-in
class always depends on lowest rb_key across service trees. The reason
being that now we have multiple BE class groups and if we always switch
to sync-noidle workload with-in group, we can potentially starve a sync-idle
workload with-in group. Same is true for async workload which will be in
root group. Also the workload-switching with-in group will become very
unpredictable as it now depends whether some RT workload was running in
the system or not.

o allow_merge() already checks if submitting task is pointing to same cfqq
as rq has been queued in. If everything is fine, we should not be having
a task in one cgroup and having a pointer to cfqq in other cgroup.
Well I guess in some situations it can happen and that is, when a random
IO queue has been moved into root cgroup for group_isolation=0. In
this case, tasks's cgroup/group is different from where actually cfqq is,
but this is intentional and in this case merging should be allowed.
The second situation is where due to close cooperator patches, multiple
processes can be sharing a cfqq. If everything implemented right, we should
not end up in a situation where tasks from different processes in different
groups are sharing the same cfqq as we allow merging of cooperating queues
only if they are in same group.

Commit 86b37281411cf1e9bc0a6b5406c45edb7bd9ea5d adds a check for
misaligned stacking offsets, but it's buggy since the defaults are 0.
Hence all dm devices that pass in a non-zero starting offset will
be marked as misaligned amd dm will complain.
A real fix is coming, in the mean time disable the discard granularity
check so that users don't worry about dm reporting about misaligned
devices.

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.

Please find attached the patch to fix it. I have done some stress testing

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

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

hence associated group remains on the service tree until we decide that
we are not going to idle on the queue and expire it.
o This just helps in time accounting for queue/group and in implementation
of rest of the patches.

o Implement a macro to traverse each service tree in the group. This avoids
usage of double for loop and special condition for idle tree 4 times.
o Macro is little twisted because of special handling of idle class service
tree.

o This patch introduce the notion of cfq groups. Soon we will can have multiple
groups of different weights in the system.
o Various service trees (prioclass and workload type trees), will become per
cfq group. So hierarchy looks as follows.
cfq_groups
|
workload type
|
cfq queue
o When an scheduling decision has to be taken, first we select the cfq group
then workload with-in the group and then cfq queue with-in the workload
type.
o This patch just makes various workload service tree per cfq group and
introduce the function to be able to choose a group for scheduling.
