So what is the replacement for that? We want to skip the entire buffer lookup/setup/read overhead if we're likely to block on IO submission - is there anything we can use to do this these days? Cheers, Dave.

I don't think there is a concept of a "full read queue" any more. There are things that can block an IO submission though. There is allocation of the bio from a mempool, and there is rq_qos_throttle, and there are probably other places where submission can block. I don't think you can tell in advance if a submission is likely to block. I think the idea is that the top level of the submission stack should rate-limit based on the estimated throughput of the stack. I think write-back does this. I don't know about read-ahead. NeilBrown

These functions are no longer useful as the only bdis that report congestion are in ceph, fuse, and nfs. None of those bdis can be the target of the calls in drbd, ext2, nilfs2, or xfs. Removing the test on bdi_write_contested() in current_may_throttle() could cause a small change in behaviour, but only when PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set.
