This patch changes anticipatory scheduler to use queue scheduling code from elevator layer. One can go back to old as by deselecting CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS_HIER. Even with CONFIG_IOSCHED_AS_HIER=y, with-out any other cgroup created, AS behavior should remain the same as old. o AS is a single queue ioschduler, that means there is one AS queue per group. o common layer code select the queue to dispatch from based on fairness, and then AS code selects the request with-in group. o AS runs reads and writes batches with-in group. So common layer runs timed group queues and with-in group time, AS runs timed batches of reads and writes. o Note: Previously AS write batch length was adjusted synamically whenever a W->R batch data direction took place and when first request from the read batch completed. Now write batch updation takes place when last request from the write batch has finished during W->R transition. o AS runs its own anticipation logic to anticipate on reads. common layer also does the anticipation on the group if think time of the group is with-in slice_idle. o Introduced few debugging messages in AS. o There are cases where in case of AS, excessive queue expiration will take place by elevator fair queuing layer because of few reasons. - AS does not anticipate on a queue if there are no competing requests. So if only a single reader is present in a group, anticipation does not get turn on. - elevator layer does not know that As is anticipating hence initiates expiry requests in select_ioq() thinking queue is empty. - elevaotr layer tries to aggressively expire last empty queue. This can lead to lof of queue expiry o This patch now starts ANITC_WAIT_NEXT anticipation if last request in the queue completed and associated io context is eligible to anticipate. Also AS lets elevatory layer know that it is anticipating (elv_ioq_wait_request()) This solves above mentioned issues.
