block, bfq: initialize bfqq->decrease_time_jif correctly

Inject limit is updated or reset when time_is_before_eq_jiffies(
decrease_time_jif + several msecs) or think-time state changes.
decrease_time_jif is initialized to 0 and will be set to current jiffies
when inject limit is updated or reset. If the jiffies is slightly greater
than LONG_MAX, time_is_after_eq_jiffies(0) will keep for a long time, so as
time_is_after_eq_jiffies(decrease_time_jif + several msecs). If the
think-time state never chages, then the injection will not work as expected
for long time.

To be more specific:
Function bfq_update_inject_limit maybe triggered when jiffies pasts
decrease_time_jif + msecs_to_jiffies(10) in bfq_add_request by setting
bfqd->wait_dispatch to true.
Function bfq_reset_inject_limit are called in two conditions:
1. jiffies pasts bfqq->decrease_time_jif + msecs_to_jiffies(1000) in
function bfq_add_request.
2. jiffies pasts bfqq->decrease_time_jif + msecs_to_jiffies(100) or
bfq think-time state change from short to long.

Fix this by initializing bfqq->decrease_time_jif to current jiffies
to trigger service injection soon when service injection conditions
are met.

block, bfq: correctly raise inject limit in bfq_choose_bfqq_for_injection

Function bfq_choose_bfqq_for_injection may temporarily raise inject limit
to one request if current inject_limit is 0 before search of the source
queue for injection. However the search below will reset inject limit to
bfqd->in_service_queue which is zero for raised inject limit. Then the
temporarily raised inject limit never works as expected.
Assigment limit to bfqd->in_service_queue in search is needed as limit
maybe overwriten to min_t(unsigned int, 1, limit) for condition that
a large in-flight request is on non-rotational devices in found queue.
So we need to reset limit to bfqd->in_service_queue for normal case.

Actually, we have already make sure bfqd->rq_in_driver is < limit before
search, then
-Limit is >= 1 as bfqd->rq_in_driver is >= 0. Then min_t(unsigned int,
1, limit) is always 1. So we can simply check bfqd->rq_in_driver with
1 instead of result of min_t(unsigned int, 1, limit) for larget request in
non-rotational device case to avoid overwritting limit and the bug is gone.
-For normal case, we have already check bfqd->rq_in_driver is < limit,
so we can return found bfqq unconditionally to remove unncessary check.

block, bfq: balance I/O injection among underutilized actuators

Upon the invocation of its dispatch function, BFQ returns the next I/O
request of the in-service bfq_queue, unless some exception holds. One
such exception is that there is some underutilized actuator, different
from the actuator for which the in-service queue contains I/O, and
that some other bfq_queue happens to contain I/O for such an
actuator. In this case, the next I/O request of the latter bfq_queue,
and not of the in-service bfq_queue, is returned (I/O is injected from
that bfq_queue). To find such an actuator, a linear scan, in
increasing index order, is performed among actuators.

Performing a linear scan entails a prioritization among actuators: an
underutilized actuator may be considered for injection only if all
actuators with a lower index are currently fully utilized, or if there
is no pending I/O for any lower-index actuator that happens to be
underutilized.

This commits breaks this prioritization and tends to distribute
injection uniformly across actuators. This is obtained by adding the
following condition to the linear scan: even if an actuator A is
underutilized, A is however skipped if its load is higher than that of
the next actuator.

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.

block, bfq: move io_cq-persistent bfqq data into a dedicated struct

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.
