After commit dfd6200a0954 ("blk-cgroup: support to track if policy is
online"), there is no need to do this again in bfq.

However, 'pd->online' is not protected by 'bfqd->lock', in order to make
sure bfq won't see that 'pd->online' is still set after bfq_pd_offline(),
clear it before bfq_pd_offline() is called. This is fine because other
polices doesn't use 'pd->online' and bfq_pd_offline() will move active
bfqq to root cgroup anyway.

block, bfq: inject I/O to underutilized actuators

The main service scheme of BFQ for sync I/O is serving one sync
bfq_queue at a time, for a while. In particular, BFQ enforces this
scheme when it deems the latter necessary to boost throughput or
to preserve service guarantees. Unfortunately, when BFQ enforces
this policy, only one actuator at a time gets served for a while,
because each bfq_queue contains I/O only for one actuator. The
other actuators may remain underutilized.

Actually, BFQ may serve (inject) extra I/O, taken from other
bfq_queues, in parallel with that of the in-service queue. This
injection mechanism may provide the ground for dealing also with
the above actuator-underutilization problem. Yet BFQ does not take
the actuator load into account when choosing which queue to pick
extra I/O from. In addition, BFQ may happen to inject extra I/O
only when the in-service queue is temporarily empty.

In view of these facts, this commit extends the
injection mechanism in such a way that the latter:
(1) takes into account also the actuator load;
(2) checks such a load on each dispatch, and injects I/O for an
underutilized actuator, if there is one and there is I/O for it.

To perform the check in (2), this commit introduces a load
threshold, currently set to 4. A linear scan of each actuator is
performed, until an actuator is found for which the following two
conditions hold: the load of the actuator is below the threshold,
and there is at least one non-in-service queue that contains I/O
for that actuator. If such a pair (actuator, queue) is found, then
the head request of that queue is returned for dispatch, instead
of the head request of the in-service queue.

We have set the threshold, empirically, to the minimum possible
value for which an actuator is fully utilized, or close to be
fully utilized. By doing so, injected I/O 'steals' as few
drive-queue slots as possibile to the in-service queue. This
reduces as much as possible the probability that the service of
I/O from the in-service bfq_queue gets delayed because of slot
exhaustion, i.e., because all the slots of the drive queue are
filled with I/O injected from other queues (NCQ provides for 32
slots).

This new mechanism also counters actuator underutilization in the
case of asymmetric configurations of bfq_queues. Namely if there
are few bfq_queues containing I/O for some actuators and many
bfq_queues containing I/O for other actuators. Or if the
bfq_queues containing I/O for some actuators have lower weights
than the other bfq_queues.

block, bfq: retrieve independent access ranges from request queue

This patch implements the code to gather the content of the
independent_access_ranges structure from the request_queue and copy
it into the queue's bfq_data. This copy is done at queue initialization.

We copy the access ranges into the bfq_data to avoid taking the queue
lock each time we access the ranges.

This implementation, however, puts a limit to the maximum independent
ranges supported by the scheduler. Such a limit is equal to the constant
BFQ_MAX_ACTUATORS. This limit was placed to avoid the allocation of
dynamic memory.

block, bfq: turn bfqq_data into an array in bfq_io_cq

When a bfq_queue Q is merged with another queue, several pieces of
information are saved about Q. These pieces are stored in the
bfqq_data field in the bfq_io_cq data structure of the process
associated with Q.

Yet, with a multi-actuator drive, a process may get associated with
multiple bfq_queues: one queue for each of the N actuators. Each of
these queues may undergo a merge. So, the bfq_io_cq data structure
must be able to accommodate the above information for N queues.

This commit solves this problem by turning the bfqq_data scalar field
into an array of N elements (and by changing code so as to handle
this array).

This solution is written under the assumption that bfq_queues
associated with different actuators cannot be cross-merged. This
assumption holds naturally with basic queue merging: the latter is
triggered by spatial locality, and sectors for different actuators are
not close to each other (apart from the corner case of the last
sectors served by a given actuator and the first sectors served by the
next actuator). As for stable cross-merging, the assumption here is
that it is disabled.

With a multi-actuator drive, a process may get associated with multiple
bfq_queues: one queue for each of the N actuators. So, the bfq_io_cq
data structure must be able to accommodate its per-queue persistent
information for N queues. Currently it stores this information for
just one queue, in several scalar fields.

This is a preparatory commit for moving to accommodating persistent
information for N queues. In particular, this commit packs all the
above scalar fields into a single data structure. Then there is now
only one field, in bfq_io_cq, that stores all the above information. This
scalar field will then be turned into an array by a following commit.

th

block, bfq: split sync bfq_queues on a per-actuator basis

Single-LUN multi-actuator SCSI drives, as well as all multi-actuator
SATA drives appear as a single device to the I/O subsystem [1]. Yet
they address commands to different actuators internally, as a function
of Logical Block Addressing (LBAs). A given sector is reachable by
only one of the actuators. For example, Seagate’s Serial Advanced
Technology Attachment (SATA) version contains two actuators and maps
the lower half of the SATA LBA space to the lower actuator and the
upper half to the upper actuator.

Evidently, to fully utilize actuators, no actuator must be left idle
or underutilized while there is pending I/O for it. The block layer
must somehow control the load of each actuator individually. This
commit lays the ground for allowing BFQ to provide such a per-actuator
control.

BFQ associates an I/O-request sync bfq_queue with each process doing
synchronous I/O, or with a group of processes, in case of queue
merging. Then BFQ serves one bfq_queue at a time. While in service, a
bfq_queue is emptied in request-position order. Yet the same process,
or group of processes, may generate I/O for different actuators. In
this case, different streams of I/O (each for a different actuator)
get all inserted into the same sync bfq_queue. So there is basically
no individual control on when each stream is served, i.e., on when the
I/O requests of the stream are picked from the bfq_queue and
dispatched to the drive.

This commit enables BFQ to control the service of each actuator
individually for synchronous I/O, by simply splitting each sync
bfq_queue into N queues, one for each actuator. In other words, a sync
bfq_queue is now associated to a pair (process, actuator). As a
consequence of this split, the per-queue proportional-share policy
implemented by BFQ will guarantee that the sync I/O generated for each
actuator, by each process, receives its fair share of service.

This is just a preparatory patch. If the I/O of the same process
happens to be sent to different queues, then each of these queues may
undergo queue merging. To handle this event, the bfq_io_cq data
structure must be properly extended. In addition, stable merging must
be disabled to avoid loss of control on individual actuators. Finally,
also async queues must be split. These issues are described in detail
and addressed in next commits. As for this commit, although multiple
per-process bfq_queues are provided, the I/O of each process or group
of processes is still sent to only one queue, regardless of the
actuator the I/O is for. The forwarding to distinct bfq_queues will be
enabled after addressing the above issues.

The way that bfqg is counted into 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs':

2) Count if bfqg or it's child bfqgs have pending requests.
3) Don't count if bfqg and it's child bfqgs complete all the requests.

After this patch:

2) Count if bfqg have pending requests.
3) Don't count if bfqg complete all the requests.

With this change, the occasion that only one group is activated can be
detected, and next patch will support concurrent sync io in the
occasion.

bfq: Relax waker detection for shared queues

Currently we look for waker only if current queue has no requests. This
makes sense for bfq queues with a single process however for shared
queues when there is a larger number of processes the condition that
queue has no requests is difficult to meet because often at least one
process has some request in flight although all the others are waiting
for the waker to do the work and this harms throughput. Relax the "no
queued request for bfq queue" condition to "the current task has no
queued requests yet". For this, we also need to start tracking number of
requests in flight for each task.

This patch (together with the following one) restores the performance
for dbench with 128 clients that regressed with commit c65e6fd460b4
("bfq: Do not let waker requests skip proper accounting") because
this commit makes requests of wakers properly enter BFQ queues and thus
these queues become ineligible for the old waker detection logic.
Dbench results:

Vanilla 5.18-rc3 5.18-rc3 + revert 5.18-rc3 patched
Mean 1237.36 ( 0.00%) 950.16 * 23.21%* 988.35 * 20.12%*

Numbers are time to complete workload so lower is better.

bfq: Get rid of __bio_blkcg() usage

BFQ usage of __bio_blkcg() is a relict from the past. Furthermore if bio
would not be associated with any blkcg, the usage of __bio_blkcg() in
BFQ is prone to races with the task being migrated between cgroups as
__bio_blkcg() calls at different places could return different blkcgs.

Convert BFQ to the new situation where bio->bi_blkg is initialized in
bio_set_dev() and thus practically always valid. This allows us to save
blkcg_gq lookup and noticeably simplify the code.
