bfq: Relax waker detection for shared queues
Currently we look for waker only if current queue has no requests. This makes sense for bfq queues with a single process however for shared queues when there is a larger number of processes the condition that queue has no requests is difficult to meet because often at least one process has some request in flight although all the others are waiting for the waker to do the work and this harms throughput. Relax the "no queued request for bfq queue" condition to "the current task has no queued requests yet". For this, we also need to start tracking number of requests in flight for each task. This patch (together with the following one) restores the performance for dbench with 128 clients that regressed with commit c65e6fd4 ("bfq: Do not let waker requests skip proper accounting") because this commit makes requests of wakers properly enter BFQ queues and thus these queues become ineligible for the old waker detection logic. Dbench results: Vanilla 5.18-rc3 5.18-rc3 + revert 5.18-rc3 patched Mean 1237.36 ( 0.00%) 950.16 * 23.21%* 988.35 * 20.12%* Numbers are time to complete workload so lower is better.
