block: account iowait time when waiting for completion of IO request

Using wait_for_completion() for waiting for a IO request to be executed
results in wrong iowait time accounting. For example, a system having
the only task doing write() and fdatasync() on a block device can be
reported being idle instead of iowaiting as it should because
blkdev_issue_flush() calls wait_for_completion() which in turn calls
schedule() that does not increment the iowait proc counter and thus does
not turn on iowait time accounting.

The patch makes block layer use wait_for_completion_io() instead of
wait_for_completion() where appropriate to account iowait time
correctly.

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.

This patch fixes forced dispatch in the ROW scheduling algorithm.

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.

The block device driver may choose at stop the transmission of current

block: row-iosched idling triggered by readahead pages

In the current implementation idling is triggered only by request
insertion frequency. This heuristic is not very accurate and may hit
random requests that shouldn't trigger idling. This patch uses the
PG_readahead flag in struct page's flags, which indicates that the page
is part of a readahead window, to start idling upon dispatch of a request
associated with a readahead page.

The above readehead flag is used together with the existing
insertion-frequency trigger. The frequency timer will catch read requests
which are not part of a readahead window, but are still part of a
sequential stream (and therefore dispatched in small time intervals).

block: row: change hrtimer_cancel to hrtimer_try_to_cancel

Calling hrtimer_cancel with interrupts disabled can result in a livelock.
When flushing plug list in the block layer interrupts are disabled and an
hrtimer is used when adding requests from that plug list to the scheduler.
In this code flow, if the hrtimer (which is used for idling) is set, it's
being canceled by calling hrtimer_cancel. hrtimer_cancel will perform
the following in an endless loop:
1. try cancel the timer
2. if fails - rest_cpu
the cancellation can fail if the timer function already started. Since
interrupts are disabled it can never complete.
This patch reduced the number of times the hrtimer lock is taken while
interrupts are disabled by calling hrtimer_try_co_cancel. the later will
try to cancel the timer just once and return with an error code if fails.

block: queue work on power efficient wq

Adapted for 3.4 from lsk-v3.10

Block layer uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency
of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.

This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.
