[PATCH v2 0/4] IO priority fixes and improvements

[Damien Le Moal]

This series fixes problems with IO priority values handling and cleans
up several macro names and code for clarity.

Changes from v1:
* Added patch 4 to unify the default priority value used in various
  places.
* Fixed patch 2 as suggested by Bart: remove extra parenthesis and move
  ioprio_valid() from the uapi header to the kernel header.
* In patch 2, add priority value masking.

Damien Le Moal (4):
  block: bfq: fix bfq_set_next_ioprio_data()
  block: fix ioprio interface
  block: rename IOPRIO_BE_NR
  block: fix default IO priority handling

[PATCH v2 1/4] block: bfq: fix bfq_set_next_ioprio_data()

[Damien Le Moal]

For a request that has a priority level equal to or larger than
IOPRIO_BE_NR, bfq_set_next_ioprio_data() prints a critical warning but
defaults to setting the request new_ioprio field to IOPRIO_BE_NR. This
is not consistent with the warning and the allowed values for priority
levels. Fix this by setting the request new_ioprio field to
IOPRIO_BE_NR - 1, the lowest priority level allowed.

[PATCH v2 2/4] block: fix ioprio interface

[Damien Le Moal]

An iocb aio_reqprio field is 16-bits (u16) but often handled as an int
in the block layer. E.g. ioprio_check_cap() takes an int as argument.
With such implicit int casting function calls, the upper 16-bits of the
int argument may be left uninitialized by the compiler, resulting in
invalid values for the IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS() macro (garbage upper bits)
and in an error return for functions such as ioprio_check_cap().

Fix this by masking the result of the shift by IOPRIO_CLASS_SHIFT bits
in the IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS() macro. The new macro IOPRIO_CLASS_MASK
defines the 3-bits mask for the priority class.

While at it, cleanup the following:
* Apply the mask IOPRIO_PRIO_MASK to the data argument of the
  IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE() macro to ignore upper bits of the data value.
* Remove unnecessary parenthesis around fixed values in the macro
  definitions in include/uapi/linux/ioprio.h.
* Update the outdated mention of CFQ in the comment describing priority
  classes and instead mention BFQ and mq-deadline.
* Change the argument name of the IOPRIO_PRIO_CLASS() and
  IOPRIO_PRIO_DATA() macros from "mask" to "ioprio" to reflect the fact
  that an IO priority value should be passed rather than a mask.
* Change the ioprio_valid() macro into an inline function, adding a
  check on the maximum value of the class of a priority value as
  defined by the IOPRIO_CLASS_MAX enum value. Move this function to
  the kernel side in include/linux/ioprio.h.
* Remove the unnecessary "else" after the return statements in
  task_nice_ioclass().

Wouldn't it be better to use 'u16' here as type, as we're relying on the 
number of bits?

Other functions in block/ioprio.c and in include/linux/ioprio.h use "unsigned
short", so I followed. But many functions, if not most, use "int". This is all a
bit of a mess. I think we need a "typedef ioprio_t u16;" to clean things up. But
there are a lot of places to fix. I can add such patch... Worth it ?

Possibly not.
Consider my comment retracted :-)

[PATCH v2 3/4] block: rename IOPRIO_BE_NR

[Damien Le Moal]

The BFQ scheduler and ioprio_check_cap() both assume that the RT
priority class (IOPRIO_CLASS_RT) can have up to 8 different priority
levels. This is controlled using the macro IOPRIO_BE_NR, which is badly
named as the number of levels applies to the RT class.

Rename IOPRIO_BE_NR to the class independent IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS to make
things clear.

This sentence no verb :-)
(maybe 'The RT class is an BE priority ...'?)

Hu ? "support" is a verb (to support). It is a noun too, but here, I use the verb :)

There is a typo though: s/an/and

"The RT and BE priority classes support up to 8 priority levels."

Arg... Sending v3 :)

[PATCH v2 4/4] block: fix default IO priority handling

[Damien Le Moal]

The default IO priority is the best effort (BE) class with the
normal priority level IOPRIO_NORM (4). However, get_task_ioprio()
returns IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE/IOPRIO_NORM as the default priority and
get_current_ioprio() returns IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE/0. Let's be consistent
with the defined default and have both of these functions return the
default priority IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, IOPRIO_NORM) when
the user did not define another default IO priority for the task.

In include/linux/ioprio.h, rename the IOPRIO_NORM macro to
IOPRIO_BE_NORM to clarify that this default level applies to the BE
priotity class. Also, define the macro IOPRIO_DEFAULT as
IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, IOPRIO_BE_NORM) and use this new
macro when setting a priority to the default.
