blk_throtl_bio() has a quick exit path for throtl_grps without limits
configured. It looks at the bps and iops limits and if both are not
configured, the bio is issued immediately. While this is correct in
the current flat hierarchy as each throtl_grp behaves completely
independently, it would become wrong in proper hierarchy mode. A
group without any limits could still be limited by one of its
ancestors and bio's queued for such group should not bypass
blk-throtl.
As having a quick bypass mechanism is beneficial, this patch
reimplements the mechanism such that it's correct even with proper
hierarchy. throtl_grp->has_rules[] is added. These booleans are
updated for the whole subtree whenever a config is updated so that
has_rules[] of the whole subtree stays synchronized. They're also
updated when a new throtl_grp comes online so that it can't escape the
limits of its ancestors.
As no throtl_grp has another throtl_grp as parent now, this patch
doesn't yet make any behavior differences.

With the planned proper hierarchy support, a bio will climb up the
tree before actually being dispatched. This makes sure bio is also
subjected to parent's throttling limits, if any.
It might happen that parent is idle and when bio is transferred to
parent, a new slice starts fresh. But that is incorrect as parents
wait time should have started when bio was queued in child group and
causes IOs to be throttled more than configured as they climb the
hierarchy.
Given the fact that we have not written hierarchical algorithm in a
way where child's and parents time slices are synchronized, we
transfer the child's start time to parent if parent was idling. If
parent was busy doing dispatch of other bios all this while, this is
not an issue.
Child's slice start time is passed to parent. Parent looks at its
last expired slice start time. If child's start time is after parents
old start time, that means parent had been idle and after parent
went idle, child had an IO queued. So use child's start time as
parent start time.
If parent's start time is after child's start time, that means,
when IO got queued in child group, parent was not idle. But later
it dispatched some IO, its slice got trimmed and then it went idle.
After a while child's request got shifted in parent group. In this
case use parent's old start time as new start time as that's the
duration of slice we did not use.
This logic is far from perfect as if there are multiple childs
then first child transferring the bio decides the start time while
a bio might have queued up even earlier in other child, which is
yet to be transferred up to parent. In that case we will lose
time and bandwidth in parent. This patch is just an approximation
to make situation somewhat better.

With flat hierarchy, there's only single level of dispatching
happening and fairness beyond that point is the responsibility of the
rest of the block layer and driver, which usually works out okay;
however, with the planned hierarchy support,
service_queue->bio_lists[] can be filled up by bios from a single
source. While the limits would still be honored, it'd be very easy to
starve IOs from siblings or children.
To avoid such starvation, this patch implements throtl_qnode and
converts service_queue->bio_lists[] to lists of per-source qnodes
which in turn contains the bio's. For example, when a bio is
dispatched from a child group, the bio doesn't get queued on
->bio_lists[] directly but it first gets queued on the group's qnode
which in turn gets queued on service_queue->queued[]. When
dispatching for the upper level, the ->queued[] list is consumed in
round-robing order so that the dispatch windows is consumed fairly by
all IO sources.
There are two ways a bio can come to a throtl_grp - directly queued to
the group or dispatched from a child. For the former
throtl_grp->qnode_on_self[rw] is used. For the latter, the child's
->qnode_on_parent[rw].
Note that this means that the child which is contributing a bio to its
parent should stay pinned until all its bios are dispatched to its
grand-parent. This patch moves blkg refcnting from bio add/remove
spots to qnode activation/deactivation so that the blkg containing an
active qnode is always pinned. As child pins the parent, this is
sufficient for keeping the relevant sub-tree pinned while bios are in
flight.
The starvation issue was spotted by Vivek Goyal.
v2: The original patch used the same throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent
for reads and writes causing RWs to be queued incorrectly if there
already are outstanding IOs in the other direction. They should
be throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent[2] so that READs and WRITEs
can use different qnodes. Spotted by Vivek Goyal.

This patch makes the direct issue path of blk_throtl_bio() to loop

Currently, blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() is responsible for both
dispatching bio's from throtl_grp's according to their limits and then
issuing the dispatched bios.
This patch moves the dispatch part to throtl_pending_timer_fn() so
that the work item is kicked iff there are bio's to issue. This is to
avoid work item execution at each step when hierarchy support is
enabled. bio's will be dispatched towards the top-level service_queue
from the timers at each layer and the work item will only be used to
issue the bio's which reached the top-level service_queue.
While fetching bio's to issue from bio_lists[],
blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() fetches all READs before WRITEs. While
the original code also dispatched READs first, if multiple throtl_grps
are dispatched on the same run, WRITEs from throtl_grp which is
dispatched first would precede READs from throtl_grps which are
dispatched later. While this is a behavior change, given that the
previous code already prioritized READs and block layer generally
prioritizes and segregates READs from WRITEs, this isn't likely to
make any noticeable differences.

throtl_select_dispatch() only dispatches throtl_quantum bios on each
invocation. blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() in turn depends on
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() scheduling the next dispatch window
immediately so that undue delays aren't incurred. This effectively
chains multiple dispatch work item executions back-to-back when there
are more than throtl_quantum bios to dispatch on a given tick.
There is no reason to finish the current work item just to repeat it
immediately. This patch makes throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() return
%false without doing anything if the current dispatch window is still
open and updates blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() repeat dispatching

will be done from pending_timer and immediate reschedule of timer

With proper hierarchy support, a bio can be dispatched multiple times
until it reaches the top-level service_queue and we don't want to
update dispatch stats at each step. They are local stats and will be
kept local. If recursive stats are necessary, they should be
implemented separately and definitely not by updating counters
recursively on each dispatch.
This patch moves REQ_THROTTLED setting to throtl_charge_bio() and gate
stats update with it so that dispatch stats are updated only on the
first time the bio is charged to a throtl_grp, which will always be
the throtl_grp the bio was originally queued to.
This means that REQ_THROTTLED would be set even for bios which don't
get throttled. As we don't want bios to leave blk-throtl with the
flag set, move REQ_THROTLLED clearing to the end of blk_throtl_bio()
and clear if the bio is being issued directly.

When blk_throtl_bio() wants to queue a bio to a tg (throtl_grp), it
avoids invoking tg_update_disptime() and
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() if the tg already has bios queued in
that direction. As a new bio is appeneded after the existing ones, it
can't change the tg's next dispatch time or the parent's dispatch
schedule.
This optimization is currently open coded in blk_throtl_bio().
Whether the target biolist was occupied was recorded in a local
variable and later used to skip disptime update. This patch moves

Currently, when the last reference of a blkcg_gq is put, all then

This is the final round of SCSI patches for the merge window. It consists
mostly of driver updates (bnx2fc, ibmfc, fnic, lpfc, be2iscsi, pm80xx, qla4x
and ipr). There's also the power management updates that complete the patches
in Jens' tree, an iscsi refcounting problem fix from the last pull, some dif
handling in scsi_debug fixes, a few nice code cleanups and an error handling
busy bug fix.

Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
- More work on DT support for various platforms
- Various fixes that were to late to make it straight into 3.9
- Improved platform support, in particular the Netlogic XLR and
BCM63xx, and the SEAD3 and Malta eval boards.
- Support for several Ralink SOC families.
- Complete support for the microMIPS ASE which basically reencodes the
existing MIPS32/MIPS64 ISA to use non-constant size instructions.
- Some fallout from LTO work which remove old cruft and will generally
make the MIPS kernel easier to maintain and resistant to compiler
optimization, even in absence of LTO.
- KVM support. While MIPS has announced hardware virtualization
extensions this KVM extension uses trap and emulate mode for
virtualization of MIPS32. More KVM work to add support for VZ
hardware virtualizaiton extensions and MIPS64 will probably already
be merged for 3.11.
Most of this has been sitting in -next for a long time. All defconfigs
have been build or run time tested except three for which fixes are being
sent by other maintainers.
