cfq-iosched: get rid of cfqq hash
cfq hash is no more necessary. We always can get cfqq from io context. cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() function is introduced, because we don't want to allocate cic on merging and checking may_queue. In order to identify sync queue we've used hash key = CFQ_KEY_ASYNC. Since hash is eliminated we need to use other criterion: sync flag for queue is added. In all places where we dig in rb_tree we're in current context, so no additional locking is required. Advantages of this patch: no additional memory for hash, no seeking in hash, code is cleaner. But it is necessary now to seek cic in per-ioc rbtree, but it is faster: - most processes work only with few devices - most systems have only few block devices - it is a rb-tree Signed-off-by: Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@openvz.org> Changes by me: - Merge into CFQ devel branch - Get rid of cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() - Fix various bugs with dereferencing cic->cfqq[] with offset other than 0 or 1. - Fix bug in cfqq setup, is_sync condition was reversed. - Fix bug where only bio_sync() is used, we need to check for a READ too Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
