Currently btrfs raid1/10 balancer bаlance requests to mirrors,
based on pid % num of mirrors.

Make logic understood:
 - if one of underline devices are non rotational
 - Queue leght to underline devices

By default try use pid % num_mirrors guessing, but:
 - If one of mirrors are non rotational, repick optimal to it
 - If underline mirror have less queue leght then optimal,
   repick to that mirror

For avoid round-robin request balancing,
lets round down queue leght:
 - By 8 for rotational devs
 - By 2 for all non rotational devs

Changes:
  v1 -> v2:
    - Use helper part_in_flight() from genhd.c
      to get queue lenght
    - Move guess code to guess_optimal()
    - Change balancer logic, try use pid % mirror by default
      Make balancing on spinning rust if one of underline devices
      are overloaded
  v2 -> v3:
    - Fix arg for RAID10 - use sub_stripes, instead of num_stripes

Sorry for making a late comment on v3.

It's good to choose non-rotational if it could.

But I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to guess queue depth here
because filesystem is still at a high position of IO stack.  It'd
probably get good results when running tests, but in practical mixed
workloads, the underlying queue depth will be changing all the time.

In fact, I think for rotational disks, more merging and less seeking
make more sense, even in raid1/10 case.

Thanks,

First version supposed for SSD, SSD + HDD only cases.
At that version that just a "attempt", make LB on hdd.
That can be easy dropped, if we decide that's a bad behaviour.

If i understood correctly, which counters used,
we check count of I/O ops that device processing currently
(i.e. after merging & etc),
not queue what not send (i.e. before merging & etc).

i.e. we guessed based on low level block io stuff.
As example that not work on zram devs (AFAIK, as zram don't have that counters).

So, no matter at which level we check that.

queue_depth changing must not create big problems there,
i.e. round_down must make all changes "equal".

For hdd, if we have a "big" (8..16?) queue depth,
with high probability that hdd overloaded,
and if other hdd have much less load
(may be instead of round_down, that better use abs diff > 8)
we try to requeue requests to other hdd.

That will not show true equal distribution, but in case where
one disks have more load, and pid based mechanism fail to make LB,
we will just move part of load to other hdd.

Until load distribution will not changed.

May be for HDD that need to make threshold more aggressive, like 16
(i.e. afaik SATA drives have hw rq len 31, so just use half of that).

Thanks.
