cpuquiet: Runnable threads governor

[perf] The runnable threads governor only looks at the average number of
runnables in the system to make a decision when bringing cores
offline/online. First pass; tweaks thresholds and delays to reduce
decision latency to about ~50-70ms per core (from ~100-150ms per core)

cpuquiet: Add notifiers for the runnables governor

The governor stops sampling whenever the device is busy and starts its
sampling loop when the device is free.

block: add SIO I/O scheduler
block: recursive merge requests

In my workload, thread 1 accesses a, a+2, ..., thread 2 accesses a+1,
a+3,.... When the requests are flushed to queue, a and a+1 are merged
to (a, a+1), a+2 and a+3 too to (a+2, a+3), but (a, a+1) and (a+2, a+3)
aren't merged.
With recursive merge below, the workload throughput gets improved 20%
and context switch drops 60%.

block: avoid using uninitialized value in from queue_var_store

Date	Wed, 3 Apr 2013 15:30:52 +0000

As found by gcc-4.8, the QUEUE_SYSFS_BIT_FNS macro creates functions
that use a value generated by queue_var_store independent of whether
that value was set or not.

block/blk-sysfs.c: In function 'queue_store_nonrot':
block/blk-sysfs.c:244:385: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Unlike most other such warnings, this one is not a false positive,
writing any non-number string into the sysfs files indeed has
an undefined result, rather than returning an error.

block: Adding ROW scheduling algorithm

This patch adds the implementation of a new scheduling algorithm - ROW.
The policy of this algorithm is to prioritize READ requests over WRITE
as much as possible without starving the WRITE requests.

block: ROW: Fix forced dispatch

This patch fixes forced dispatch in the ROW scheduling algorithm.
When the dispatch function is called with the forced flag on, we
can't delay the dispatch of the requests that are in scheduler queues.
Thus, when dispatch is called with forced turned on, we need to cancel
idling, or not to idle at all.

block: Add support for reinsert a dispatched req

Add support for reinserting a dispatched request back to the
scheduler's internal data structures.
This capability is used by the device driver when it chooses to
interrupt the current request transmission and execute another (more
urgent) pending request. For example: interrupting long write in order
to handle pending read. The device driver re-inserts the
remaining write request back to the scheduler, to be rescheduled
for transmission later on.

Add API for verifying whether the current scheduler
supports reinserting requests mechanism. If reinsert mechanism isn't
supported by the scheduler, this code path will never be activated.

block: Add API for urgent request handling

This patch add support in block & elevator layers for handling
urgent requests. The decision if a request is urgent or not is taken
by the scheduler. Urgent request notification is passed to the underlying
block device driver (eMMC for example). Block device driver may decide to
interrupt the currently running low priority request to serve the new
urgent request. By doing so READ latency is greatly reduced in read&write
collision scenarios.

Note that if the current scheduler doesn't implement the urgent request
mechanism, this code path is never activated.

block:row: fix idling mechanism in ROW

This patch addresses the following issues found in the ROW idling
mechanism:
1. Fix the delay passed to queue_delayed_work (pass actual delay
   and not the time when to start the work)
2. Change the idle time and the idling-trigger frequency to be
   HZ dependent (instead of using msec_to_jiffies())
3. Destroy idle_workqueue() in queue_exit

row: Add support for urgent request handling

This patch adds support for handling urgent requests.
ROW queue can be marked as "urgent" so if it was un-served in last
dispatch cycle and a request was added to it - it will trigger
issuing an urgent-request-notification to the block device driver.
The block device driver may choose at stop the transmission of current
ongoing request to handle the urgent one. Foe example: long WRITE may
be stopped to handle an urgent READ. This decreases READ latency.
