Tweak governors, regenerate configs

PegasusQ still provides best battery/performance ratio for me, setting it as default is a good move, even if zzmoove is more snappy
LulzactiveQ is totally useless. You can tweak either pegasusq or zzmoove as they're fairly customizable
Performance with AndreiLux's fix to bring all cores when activated is still excellent for benchmarks

Noop won my performance/battery/overhead benchmark.
- It doesn't cause any overhead (because noop is basically no governor)
- We really don't need any governor when we have high-speed eMMC sd card
- Even under heavy load noop is still the fastest one
- You can't get better battery life because lack of governor will be always more battery friendly than any

Conclusion: While CPU governor is important, I/O governor is not

I/O governor is important when we're dealing with potentially slow devices, like HDDs
It's also important when access to different parts of storage is different, typical in HDDs

We have eMMC flash memory, with equal access to every part of the storage

- CFQ is slow and bad, typical for HDDs and desktop systems with lots of multitasking at the same time
- ROW was not designed for flash memories (HDDs actually), typical for HDDs with smoothness
- Deadline is awesome, but still causes unnecessary overhead we don't need, typical for servers
- There's currently no I/O governor designed for flash memories, Noop is the closest

Therefore, I'm dumping the I/O governor hype and putting Noop as the only one

Include deadline I/O governor as default one
iosched: prevent aliased requests from starving other I/O

Hi, Jens,

If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279

The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of
async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out
other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both
cfq and deadline).  The solution I proposed back then was to start
dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been
dispatched.  Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all,
and I never had a good answer.  So, I put together a simple patch which
allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right,
though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway).  I
think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices
in CFQ or batches in deadline.  I've tested it, and it does solve the
starvation issue.  Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Jeff

block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)

Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point.  It has
two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating
that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states
and proceed to generate more events.  Secondly, it's passed on to
device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has
been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device.

The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different
mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY
to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be
used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage.  Among other
things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can.

This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for
MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers.  disk_check_events() is renamed to
disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush
which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the
next ->check_events() invocation.

This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from
userland - e.g. with eject(1).

Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly
complex.  disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint
can be boolean @flush.

compat_ioctl: fix warning caused by qemu

On Linux x86_64 host with 32bit userspace, running
qemu or even just "qemu-img create -f qcow2 some.img 1G"
causes a kernel warning:

ioctl32(qemu-img:5296): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(00005326){t:'S';sz:0} arg(7fffffff) on some.img
ioctl32(qemu-img:5296): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(801c0204){t:02;sz:28} arg(fff77350) on some.img

ioctl 00005326 is CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS,
ioctl 801c0204 is FDGETPRM.

The warning appears because the Linux compat-ioctl handler for these
ioctls only applies to block devices, while qemu also uses the ioctls on
plain files.

block: eliminate potential for infinite loop in blkdev_issue_discard

Due to the recently identified overflow in read_capacity_16() it was
possible for max_discard_sectors to be zero but still have discards
enabled on the associated device's queue.

Eliminate the possibility for blkdev_issue_discard to infinitely loop.

Interestingly this issue wasn't identified until a device, whose
discard_granularity was 0 due to read_capacity_16 overflow, was consumed
by blk_stack_limits() to construct limits for a higher-level DM
multipath device.  The multipath device's resulting limits never had the
discard limits stacked because blk_stack_limits() will only do so if
the bottom device's discard_granularity != 0.  This resulted in the
multipath device's limits.max_discard_sectors being 0.

block: avoid building too big plug list

When I test fio script with big I/O depth, I found the total throughput drops
compared to some relative small I/O depth. The reason is the thread accumulates
big requests in its plug list and causes some delays (surely this depends
on CPU speed).
I thought we'd better have a threshold for requests. When a threshold reaches,
this means there is no request merge and queue lock contention isn't severe
when pushing per-task requests to queue, so the main advantages of blk plug
don't exist. We can force a plug list flush in this case.
With this, my test throughput actually increases and almost equals to small
I/O depth. Another side effect is irq off time decreases in blk_flush_plug_list()
for big I/O depth.
The BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT is choosen arbitarily, but 16 is efficiently to
reduce lock contention to me. But I'm open here, 32 is ok in my test too.

cfq: Remove special treatment for metadata rqs.

There is no consistency among filesystems from what bios (or requests)
are marked as being metadata. It's interesting to expose this in traces,
but we shouldn't schedule the requests differently based on whether or
not they're marked as being metadata.

fixlet: Remove fs_excl from struct task.

fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to
the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly
specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many
cases (like across cgroups).

fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to
indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed
a boost.

It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete.
Lets kill it.
