random: prevent add_input from doing anything
block: reorganize queue draining

Reorganize queue draining related code in preparation of queue exit
changes.

* Factor out actual draining from elv_quiesce_start() to
  blk_drain_queue().

* Make elv_quiesce_start/end() responsible for their own locking.

* Replace open-coded ELVSWITCH clearing in elevator_switch() with
  elv_quiesce_end().

This patch doesn't cause any visible functional difference.

block: reorder elevator switch sequence

Elevator switch sequence first attached the new elevator, then tried
registering it (sysfs) and if that failed attached back the old
elevator.  However, sysfs registration doesn't require the elevator to
be attached, so there is no reason to do the "detach, attach new,
register, maybe re-attach old" sequence.  It can just do "register,
detach, attach".

* elevator_init_queue() is updated to set ->elevator_data directly and
  return 0 / -errno.  This allows elevator_exit() on an unattached
  elevator.

* __elv_unregister_queue() which was necessary to unregister
  unattached q is removed in favor of __elv_register_queue() which can
  register unattached q.

* elevator_attach() becomes a single assignment and obscures more then
  it helps.  Dropped.

This will help cleaning up io_context handling across elevator switch.

This patch doesn't introduce visible behavior change.

block: remove elevator_queue->ops

elevator_queue->ops points to the same ops struct ->elevator_type.ops
is pointing to.  The only effect of caching it in elevator_queue is
shorter notation - it doesn't save any indirect derefence.

Relocate elevator_type->list which used only during module init/exit
to the end of the structure, rename elevator_queue->elevator_type to
->type, and replace elevator_queue->ops with elevator_queue->type.ops.

This doesn't introduce any functional difference.

block, cfq: move cfqd->icq_list to request_queue and add request->elv.icq

Most of icq management is about to be moved out of cfq into blk-ioc.
This patch prepares for it.

* Move cfqd->icq_list to request_queue->icq_list

* Make request explicitly point to icq instead of through elevator
  private data.  ->elevator_private[3] is replaced with sub struct elv
  which contains icq pointer and priv[2].  cfq is updated accordingly.

* Meaningless clearing of ->elevator_private[0] removed from
  elv_set_request().  At that point in code, the field was guaranteed
  to be %NULL anyway.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

block: add ROW scheduler v4

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.
The requests are kept in queues according to their priority. The dispatch
is done in a Round Robin manner with a different slice for each queue.
READ request queues get bigger dispatch quantum than the write requests.

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.

row: Adding support for reinsert already dispatched req

Add support for reinserting already dispatched request back to the
schedulers internal data structures.
The request will be reinserted back to the queue (head) it was
dispatched from as if it was never dispatched.

row: Add support for urgent request handling

This patch add support for handling urgent requests.
ROW queue can be marked as "urgent". If an urgent queue was
un-served in a previous dispatch cycle and a request was added
to it - it will trigger issuing urgent request to the device driver.

Input: Send events one packet at a time

On heavy event loads, such as a multitouch driver, the irqsoff latency
can be as high as 250 us.  By accumulating a frame worth of data
before passing it on, the latency can be dramatically reduced.  As a
side effect, the special EV_SYN handling can be removed, since the
frame is now atomic.

This patch adds the events() handler callback and uses it if it
exists. The latency is improved by 50 us even without the callback.

Input: Improve the events-per-packet estimate

The events-per-packet estimate has so far been used by MT devices
only. This patch adjusts the packet buffer size to also accomodate the
KEY and MSC events.  Keyboards normally send one or two keys at a
time. MT devices normally send a number of button keys along with the
MT information.  The buffer size chosen here covers those cases, and
matches the default buffer size in evdev. Since the input estimate is
now preferred, remove the special input-mt estimate.
