Squashed commit of ROW I/O scheduler

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: Correct minimum values of ROW tunable parameters

The ROW scheduling algorithm exposes several tunable parameters.
This patch updates the minimum allowed values for those parameters.

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.

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.

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.

block: row: Insert dispatch_quantum into struct row_queue

There is really no point in keeping the dispatch quantum
of a queue outside of it. By inserting it to the row_queue

block: row: Aggregate row_queue parameters to one structure

Each ROW queues has several parameters which default values are defined
in separate arrays. This patch aggregates all default values into one
array.
The values in question are:
 - is idling enabled for the queue
 - queue quantum
 - can the queue notify on urgent request

block: row: Dispatch requests according to their io-priority

This patch implements "application-hints" which is a way the issuing
application can notify the scheduler on the priority of its request.
This is done by setting the io-priority of the request.
This patch reuses an already existing mechanism of io-priorities developed
for CFQ. Please refer to kernel/Documentation/block/ioprio.txt for
usage example and explanations.

block: row: Idling mechanism re-factoring

At the moment idling in ROW is implemented by delayed work that uses
jiffies granularity which is not very accurate. This patch replaces
current idling mechanism implementation with hrtime API, which gives
nanosecond resolution (instead of jiffies).

block: row: Don't notify URGENT if there are un-completed urgent req

When ROW scheduler reports to the block layer that there is an urgent
request pending, the device driver may decide to stop the transmission
of the current request in order to handle the urgent one. If the current
transmitted request is an urgent request - we don't want it to be
stopped.
Due to the above ROW scheduler won't notify of an urgent request if
there are urgent requests in flight.

This patch updates the ROW URGENT notification policy to apply with the
bellow:
- Don't notify URGENT if there is an un-completed URGENT request in driver
- After notifying that URGENT request is present, the next request
  dispatched is the URGENT one.
- At every given moment only 1 request can be marked as URGENT.
  Independent of it's location (driver or scheduler)

Other changes to URGENT policy:
- Only queues that are allowed to notify of an URGENT request pending
are READ queues

block: row: Re-design urgent request notification mechanism

When ROW scheduler reports to the block layer that there is an urgent
request pending, the device driver may decide to stop the transmission
of the current request in order to handle the urgent one. This is done
in order to reduce the latency of an urgent request. For example:
long WRITE may be stopped to handle an urgent READ.

This patch updates the ROW URGENT notification policy to apply with the
below:

- Don't notify URGENT if there is an un-completed URGENT request in driver
- After notifying that URGENT request is present, the next request

- At every given moment only 1 request can be marked as URGENT.

Other changes to URGENT policy:
- Only READ queues are allowed to notify of an URGENT request pending.

CR fix:
If a pending urgent request (A) gets merged with another request (B)
A is removed from scheduler queue but is not removed from
rd->pending_urgent_rq.

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: row: Remove warning massage from add_request

Regular priority queues is marked as "starved" if it skipped a dispatch
due to being empty. When a new request is added to a "starved" queue
it will be marked as urgent.
The removed WARN_ON was warning about an impossible case when a regular
priority (read) queue was marked as starved but wasn't empty. This is
a possible case due to the bellow:
If the device driver fetched a read request that is pending for
transmission and an URGENT request arrives, the fetched read will be
reinserted back to the scheduler. Its possible that the queue it will be
reinserted to was marked as "starved" in the meanwhile due to being empty.
