MTD already allocates backing_dev_info dynamically. Convert it to use generic infrastructure for this including proper refcounting. We drop mtd->backing_dev_info as its only use was to pass mtd_bdi pointer from one file into another and if we wanted to keep that in a clean way, we'd have to make mtd hold and drop bdi reference as needed which seems pointless for passing one global pointer...

So far we just relied on block device to hold a bdi reference for us while the filesystem is mounted. While that works perfectly fine, it is a bit awkward that we have a pointer to a refcounted structure in the superblock without proper reference. So make s_bdi hold a proper reference to block device's BDI. No filesystem using mount_bdev() actually changes s_bdi so this is safe and will make bdev filesystems work the same way as filesystems needing to set up their private bdi. Reviewed-by:

Most users will want to unregister bdi when dropping last reference to a bdi. Only a few users (like block devices) want to play more complex tricks with bdi registration and unregistration. So unregister bdi when the last reference to bdi is dropped and just make sure we don't unregister the bdi the second time if it is already unregistered. Reviewed-by:

When CFQ is used as an elevator, it disables writeback throttling because they don't play well together. Later when a different elevator is chosen for the device, writeback throttling doesn't get enabled again as it should. Make sure CFQ enables writeback throttling (if it should be enabled by default) when we switch from it to another IO scheduler. Signed-off-by:

The BFQ I/O scheduler features an optimal fair-queuing (proportional-share) scheduling algorithm, enriched with several mechanisms to boost throughput and reduce latency for interactive and real-time applications. This makes BFQ a large and complex piece of code. This commit addresses this issue by splitting BFQ into three main, independent components, and by moving each component into a separate source file: 1. Main algorithm: handles the interaction with the kernel, and decides which requests to dispatch; it uses the following two further components to achieve its goals. 2. Scheduling engine (Hierarchical B-WF2Q+ scheduling algorithm): computes the schedule, using weights and budgets provided by the above component. 3. cgroups support: handles group operations (creation, destruction, move, ...).

When a bfq queue is set in service and when it is merged, a reference to the I/O context associated with the queue is taken. This reference is then released when the queue is deselected from service or split. More precisely, the release of the reference is postponed to when the scheduler lock is released, to avoid nesting between the scheduler and the I/O-context lock. In fact, such nesting would lead to deadlocks, because of other code paths that take the same locks in the opposite order. This postponing of I/O-context releases does complicate code. This commit addresses these issue by modifying involved operations in such a way to not need to get the above I/O-context references any more. Then it also removes any get and release of these references. Signed-off-by:

Many popular I/O-intensive services or applications spawn or reactivate many parallel threads/processes during short time intervals. Examples are systemd during boot or git grep. These services or applications benefit mostly from a high throughput: the quicker the I/O generated by their processes is cumulatively served, the sooner the target job of these services or applications gets completed. As a consequence, it is almost always counterproductive to weight-raise any of the queues associated to the processes of these services or applications: in most cases it would just lower the throughput, mainly because weight-raising also implies device idling. To address this issue, an I/O scheduler needs, first, to detect which queues are associated with these services or applications. In this respect, we have that, from the I/O-scheduler standpoint, these services or applications cause bursts of activations, i.e., activations of different queues occurring shortly after each other. However, a shorter burst of activations may be caused also by the start of an application that does not consist in a lot of parallel I/O-bound threads (see the comments on the function bfq_handle_burst for details). In view of these facts, this commit introduces: 1) an heuristic to detect (only) bursts of queue activations caused by services or applications consisting in many parallel I/O-bound threads; 2) the prevention of device idling and weight-raising for the queues belonging to these bursts.

This patch is basically the counterpart, for NCQ-capable rotational devices, of the previous patch. Exactly as the previous patch does on flash-based devices and for any workload, this patch disables device idling on rotational devices, but only for random I/O. In fact, only with these queues disabling idling boosts the throughput on NCQ-capable rotational devices. To not break service guarantees, idling is disabled for NCQ-enabled rotational devices only when the same symmetry conditions considered in the previous patches hold. Signed-off-by:

This patch boosts the throughput on NCQ-capable flash-based devices, while still preserving latency guarantees for interactive and soft real-time applications. The throughput is boosted by just not idling the device when the in-service queue remains empty, even if the queue is sync and has a non-null idle window. This helps to keep the drive's internal queue full, which is necessary to achieve maximum performance. This solution to boost the throughput is a port of commits a68bbdd and f7d7b7a7 for CFQ. As already highlighted in a previous patch, allowing the device to prefetch and internally reorder requests trivially causes loss of control on the request service order, and hence on service guarantees. Fortunately, as discussed in detail in the comments on the function bfq_bfqq_may_idle(), if every process has to receive the same fraction of the throughput, then the service order enforced by the internal scheduler of a flash-based device is relatively close to that enforced by BFQ. In particular, it is close enough to let service guarantees be substantially preserved. Things change in an asymmetric scenario, i.e., if not every process has to receive the same fraction of the throughput. In this case, to guarantee the desired throughput distribution, the device must be prevented from prefetching requests. This is exactly what this patch does in asymmetric scenarios. Signed-off-by:
