On blk_init_allocated_queue_node failure, only free the request_queue if
it is wasn't previously allocated outside the block layer
(e.g. blk_init_queue_node was blk_init_allocated_queue_node caller).
This addresses an interface bug introduced by the following commit:
01effb0 block: allow initialization of previously allocated
request_queue
Otherwise the request_queue may be free'd out from underneath a caller
that is managing the request_queue directly (e.g. caller uses
blk_alloc_queue + blk_init_allocated_queue_node).

Bio-based DM doesn't use an elevator (queue is !blk_queue_stackable()).
Longer-term DM will not allocate an elevator for bio-based DM. But even
then there will be small potential for an elevator to be allocated for
a request-based DM table only to have a bio-based table be loaded in the
end.
Displaying "none" for bio-based DM will help avoid user confusion.

Use small consequent indexes as radix tree keys instead of sparse cfqd address.
This change will reduce radix tree depth from 11 (6 for 32-bit hosts)
to 1 if host have <=64 disks under cfq control, or to 0 if there only one disk.
So, this patch save 10*560 bytes for each process (5*296 for 32-bit hosts)
For each cfqd allocate cic index from ida.

This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues.
o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from
"Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception.
Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from
there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers.
o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED.
This option currently does two things.
- Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace
- Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat
files in cgroup.
If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use
if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to
also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of
all the additional debug stat files which is not desired.
Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under
CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.
This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all
the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which
can be enabled through config menu.

all devices. Here a new user interface "blkio.weight_device" is introduced to
assign different weights for different devices. blkio.weight becomes the
default value for devices which are not configured by "blkio.weight_device"
You can use the following format to assigned specific weight for a given
device:
#echo "major:minor weight" > blkio.weight_device
major:minor represents device number.
And you can remove weight for a given device as following:
#echo "major:minor 0" > blkio.weight_device

When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched,
it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue.
However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in
using stale values for computing slice_used.
This patch fixes it by calling activate queue before flushing reuqests from
each queue.
This is useful mostly for barrier requests because when the iosched is changing
it really doesnt matter if we have incorrect accounting since we're going to
break down all structures anyway.
We also now expire the current timeslice before moving on with the dispatch
to accurately account slice used for that cfqq.

1) group_wait_time - This is the amount of time the cgroup had to wait to get a
timeslice for one of its queues from when it became busy, i.e., went from 0
to 1 request queued. This is different from the io_wait_time which is the
cumulative total of the amount of time spent by each IO in that cgroup waiting
in the scheduler queue. This stat is a great way to find out any jobs in the
fleet that are being starved or waiting for longer than what is expected (due
to an IO controller bug or any other issue).
2) empty_time - This is the amount of time a cgroup spends w/o any pending
requests. This stat is useful when a job does not seem to be able to use its
assigned disk share by helping check if that is happening due to an IO
controller bug or because the job is not submitting enough IOs.
3) idle_time - This is the amount of time spent by the IO scheduler idling
for a given cgroup in anticipation of a better request than the exising ones
from other queues/cgroups.
All these stats are recorded using start and stop events. When reading these
stats, we do not add the delta between the current time and the last start time
if we're between the start and stop events. We avoid doing this to make sure
that these numbers are always monotonically increasing when read. Since we're
using sched_clock() which may use the tsc as its source, it may induce some
inconsistency (due to tsc resync across cpus) if we included the current delta.

helps understand the application's IO pattern w/o having to read through the

to run blktrace (since you may not have root access and/or not want to disturb

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
