cfq-iosched: implement hierarchy-ready cfq_group charge scaling
Currently, cfqg charges are scaled directly according to cfqg->weight. Regardless of the number of active cfqgs or the amount of active weights, a given weight value always scales charge the same way. This works fine as long as all cfqgs are treated equally regardless of their positions in the hierarchy, which is what cfq currently implements. It can't work in hierarchical settings because the interpretation of a given weight value depends on where the weight is located in the hierarchy. This patch reimplements cfqg charge scaling so that it can be used to support hierarchy properly. The scheme is fairly simple and light-weight. * When a cfqg is added to the service tree, v(disktime)weight is calculated. It walks up the tree to root calculating the fraction it has in the hierarchy. At each level, the fraction can be calculated as cfqg->weight / parent->level_weight By compounding these, the global fraction of vdisktime the cfqg has claim to - vfraction - can be determined. * When the cfqg needs to be charged, the charge is scaled inversely proportionally to the vfraction. The new scaling scheme uses the same CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT for fixed point representation as before; however, the smallest scaling factor is now 1 (ie. 1 << CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT). This is different from before where 1 was for CFQ_WEIGHT_DEFAULT and higher weight would result in smaller scaling factor. While this shifts the global scale of vdisktime a bit, it doesn't change the relative relationships among cfqgs and the scheduling result isn't different. cfq_group_notify_queue_add uses fixed CFQ_IDLE_DELAY when appending new cfqg to the service tree. The specific value of CFQ_IDLE_DELAY didn't have any relevance to vdisktime before and is unlikely to cause any visible behavior difference now especially as the scale shift isn't that large. As the new scheme now makes proper distinction between cfqg->weight and ->leaf_weight, reverse the weight aliasing for root cfqgs. For root, both weights are now mapped to ->leaf_weight instead of the other way around. Because we're still using cfqg_flat_parent(), this patch shouldn't change the scheduling behavior in any noticeable way. v2: Beefed up comments on vfraction as requested by Vivek.
