cfq-iosched: fix ncq detection code
CFQ's detection of queueing devices initially assumes a queuing device
and detects if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold.
However, it will reconsider this choice periodically.
Unfortunately, if device is considered not queuing, CFQ will force a
unit queue depth for some workloads, thus defeating the detection logic.
This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware,
since the idle window remains enabled.
Given this premise, switching to hw_tag = 0 after we have proved at
least once that the device is NCQ capable is not a good choice.
The new detection code starts in an indeterminate state, in which CFQ behaves
as if hw_tag = 1, and then, if for a long observation period we never saw
large depth, we switch to hw_tag = 0, otherwise we stick to hw_tag = 1,
without reconsidering it again.
Marking direct writes as WRITE_SYNC_PLUG instead of WRITE_ODIRECT, sets
the NOIDLE flag in bio and hence in request. This tells CFQ to not expect
more request from the queue and not idle on it (despite the fact that
queue's think time is less and it is not seeky).
So direct writers lose big time when competing with sequential readers.
Using fio, I have run one direct writer and two sequential readers and
following are the results with 2.6.32-rc7 kernel and with for-2.6.33
branch.
Test
====
1 direct writer and 2 sequential reader running simultaneously.
[global]
directory=/mnt/sdc/fio/
runtime=10
[seqwrite]
rw=write
size=4G
direct=1
[seqread]
rw=read
size=2G

2.6.32-rc7
==========
direct writes: aggrb=2,968KB/s
readers : aggrb=101MB/s
for-2.6.33 branch
=================
direct write: aggrb=19KB/s
readers aggrb=137MB/s
This patch brings back the WRITE_ODIRECT flag, with the difference that we
don't set the BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag so that device is not unplugged after
submission of request and an explicit unplug from submitter is required.
That way we fix the jeff's issue of not enough merging taking place in aio
path as well as make sure direct writes get their fair share.
After the fix
=============
for-2.6.33 + fix
----------------
direct writes: aggrb=2,728KB/s

cfq-iosched: cleanup unreachable code
cfq_should_idle returns false for no-idle queues that are not the last,
so the control flow will never reach the removed code in a state that
satisfies the if condition.
The unreachable code was added to emulate previous cfq behaviour for
non-NCQ rotational devices. My tests show that even without it, the
performances and fairness are comparable with previous cfq, thanks to
the fact that all seeky queues are grouped together, and that we idle at
the end of the tree.
