      cfq-iosched: preparation to handle multiple service trees · aa6f6a3d
      Corrado Zoccolo authored
      We embed a pointer to the service tree in each queue, to handle multiple
      service trees easily.
      Service trees are enriched with a counter.
      cfq_add_rq_rb is invoked after putting the rq in the fifo, to ensure
      that all fields in rq are properly initialized.

      cfq-iosched: adapt slice to number of processes doing I/O · 5db5d642
      Corrado Zoccolo authored
      When the number of processes performing I/O concurrently increases,
      a fixed time slice per process will cause large latencies.
      
      This patch, if low_latency mode is enabled,  will scale the time slice
      assigned to each process according to a 300ms target latency.
      
      In order to keep fairness among processes:
      * The number of active processes is computed using a special form of
      running average, that quickly follows sudden increases (to keep latency low),
      and decrease slowly (to have fairness in spite of rapid decreases of this
      value).
      
      To safeguard sequential bandwidth, we impose a minimum time slice
      (computed using 2*cfq_slice_idle as base, adjusted according to priority
      and async-ness).

      writeback: account IO throttling wait as iowait · d25105e8
      Wu Fengguang authored
      It makes sense to do IOWAIT when someone is blocked
      due to IO throttle, as suggested by Kame and Peter.
      
      There is an old comment for not doing IOWAIT on throttle,
      however it has been mismatching the code for a long time.
      
      If we stop accounting IOWAIT for 2.6.32, it could be an
      undesirable behavior change. So restore the io_schedule.

      elv_iosched_store(): fix strstrip() misuse · 8c279598
      KOSAKI Motohiro authored
      elv_iosched_store() ignore the return value of strstrip().  It makes small
      inconsistent behavior.
      
      This patch fixes it.
