o rq_noidle() is supposed to tell cfq that do not expect a request after this
one, hence don't idle. But this does not seem to work very well. For example
for direct random readers, rq_noidle = 1 but there is next request coming
after this. Not idling, leads to a group not getting its share even if
group_isolation=1.
o The right solution for this issue is to scan the higher layers and set
right flag (WRITE_SYNC or WRITE_ODIRECT). For the time being, this single
line fix helps. This should not have any significant impact when we are
not using cgroups. I will later figure out IO paths in higher layer and
fix it.

o If a group is running only a random reader, then it will not have enough
traffic to keep disk busy and we will reduce overall throughput. This
should result in better latencies for random reader though. If we don't
idle on random reader service tree, then this random reader will experience
large latencies if there are other groups present in system with sequential
readers running in these.
o One solution suggested by corrado is that by default keep the random readers
or sync-noidle workload in root group so that during one dispatch round
we idle only once on sync-noidle tree. This means that all the sync-idle
workload queues will be in their respective group and we will see service
differentiation in those but not on sync-noidle workload.
o Provide a tunable group_isolation. If set, this will make sure that even
sync-noidle queues go in their respective group and we wait on these. This
provides stronger isolation between groups but at the expense of throughput
if group does not have enough traffic to keep the disk busy.
o By default group_isolation = 0

o Async queues are not per group. Instead these are system wide and maintained
in root group. Hence their workload slice length should be calculated
based on total number of queues in the system and not just queues in the
root group.
o As root group's default weight is 1000, make sure to charge async queue
more in terms of vtime so that it does not get more time on disk because
root group has higher weight.

o If a queue consumes its slice and then gets deleted from service tree, its
associated group will also get deleted from service tree if this was the
only queue in the group. That will make group loose its share.
o For the queues on which we have idling on and if these have used their
slice, wait a bit for these queues to get backlogged again and then
expire these queues so that group does not loose its share.

o Do not allow following three operations across groups for isolation.
- selection of co-operating queues
- preemtpions across groups
- request merging across groups.
o Async queues are currently global and not per group. Allow preemption of

o This patch introduces the functionality to do the accounting of group time
when a queue expires. This time used decides which is the group to go
next.
o Also introduce the functionlity to save and restore the workload type
context with-in group. It might happen that once we expire the cfq queue
and group, a different group will schedule in and we will lose the context
of the workload type. Hence save and restore it upon queue expiry.

o So far we had 300ms soft target latency system wide. Now with the
introduction of cfq groups, divide that latency by number of groups so
that one can come up with group target latency which will be helpful
in determining the workload slice with-in group and also the dynamic
slice length of the cfq queue.

o Currently cfqq deletes a queue from service tree if it is empty (even if
we might idle on the queue). This patch keeps the queue on service tree
hence associated group remains on the service tree until we decide that
we are not going to idle on the queue and expire it.

o This patch introduce the notion of cfq groups. Soon we will can have multiple
groups of different weights in the system.
o Various service trees (prioclass and workload type trees), will become per
cfq group. So hierarchy looks as follows.
cfq_groups
|
workload type
|
cfq queue
o When an scheduling decision has to be taken, first we select the cfq group
then workload with-in the group and then cfq queue with-in the workload
type.
o This patch just makes various workload service tree per cfq group and
introduce the function to be able to choose a group for scheduling.

Since commit 2f5cb7381b737e24c8046fd4aeab571fb71315f5, each queue can send
up to 4 * 4 requests if only one queue exists. I wonder why we have such limit.
Device supports tag can send more requests. For example, AHCI can send 31
requests. Test (direct aio randread) shows the limits reduce about 4% disk
thoughput.
On the other hand, since we send one request one time, if other queue
pop when current is sending more than cfq_quantum requests, current queue will
stop send requests soon after one request, so sounds there is no big latency.

The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device
prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed
blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially
containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether
discarded blocks are properly zeroed.
Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether
zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level
interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and
queried via a new block device ioctl.

On the parisc architecture we face for each and every loaded kernel module
this kernel "badness warning":
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/module/ac97_bus/sections/.text'
Badness at fs/sysfs/dir.c:487
Reason for that is, that on parisc all kernel modules do have multiple
.text sections due to the usage of the -ffunction-sections compiler flag
which is needed to reach all jump targets on this platform.
An objdump on such a kernel module gives:
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .note.gnu.build-id 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, DATA
1 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
2 .text.ac97_bus_match 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000058 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
3 .text 00000000 00000000 00000000 000000d4 2**0
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE
...
Since the .text sections are empty (size of 0 bytes) and won't be
loaded by the kernel module loader anyway, I don't see a reason
why such sections need to be listed under
/sys/module/<module_name>/sections/<section_name> either.
The attached patch does solve this issue by not exporting section
names which are empty.

mmc_remove_host() will cause the mmc core to switch off the bus power by
