Linus Torvalds 9bd42183b9 Merge branch 'sched-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Add the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING bootup state to move various scheduler
     debug checks earlier into the bootup. This turns silent and
     sporadically deadly bugs into nice, deterministic splats. Fix some
     of the splats that triggered. (Thomas Gleixner)

   - A round of restructuring and refactoring of the load-balancing and
     topology code (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Another round of consolidating ~20 of incremental scheduler code
     history: this time in terms of wait-queue nomenclature. (I didn't
     get much feedback on these renaming patches, and we can still
     easily change any names I might have misplaced, so if anyone hates
     a new name, please holler and I'll fix it.) (Ingo Molnar)

   - sched/numa improvements, fixes and updates (Rik van Riel)

   - Another round of x86/tsc scheduler clock code improvements, in hope
     of making it more robust (Peter Zijlstra)

   - Improve NOHZ behavior (Frederic Weisbecker)

   - Deadline scheduler improvements and fixes (Luca Abeni, Daniel
     Bristot de Oliveira)

   - Simplify and optimize the topology setup code (Lauro Ramos
     Venancio)

   - Debloat and decouple scheduler code some more (Nicolas Pitre)

   - Simplify code by making better use of llist primitives (Byungchul
     Park)

   - ... plus other fixes and improvements"

Ingo Molnar 2055da9738 sched/wait: Disambiguate wq_entry->task_list and wq_head->task_list naming
So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the
code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry.

Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are
not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.

To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
fields unambiguously:

	struct wait_queue_head::task_list	=> ::head
	struct wait_queue_entry::task_list	=> ::entry

For example, this code:

	rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list

... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:

	rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry

... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.

Other examples are:

	list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
	list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {

... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
a bug), while now it's written as:

	list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {
	list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) {

Ingo Molnar ac6424b981 sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
Rename:

	wait_queue_t		=>	wait_queue_entry_t

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.

Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.

This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

Christoph Hellwig 5bbf4e5a8e blk-mq-sched: unify request prepare methods
This patch makes sure we always allocate requests in the core blk-mq
code and use a common prepare_request method to initialize them for
both mq I/O schedulers.  For Kyber and additional limit_depth method
is added that is called before allocating the request.

Also because none of the intializations can really fail the new method
does not return an error - instead the bfq finish method is hardened
to deal with the no-IOC case.

Last but not least this removes the abuse of RQF_QUEUE by the blk-mq
scheduling code as RQF_ELFPRIV is all that is needed now.

Stephen Bates a37244e4cc blk-stat: convert blk-stat bucket callback to signed
In order to allow for filtering of IO based on some other properties
of the request than direction we allow the bucket function to return
an int.

If the bucket callback returns a negative do no count it in the stats
accumulation.

Omar Sandoval 00e043936e blk-mq: introduce Kyber multiqueue I/O scheduler
The Kyber I/O scheduler is an I/O scheduler for fast devices designed to
scale to multiple queues. Users configure only two knobs, the target
read and synchronous write latencies, and the scheduler tunes itself to
achieve that latency goal.

The implementation is based on "tokens", built on top of the scalable
bitmap library. Tokens serve as a mechanism for limiting requests. There
are two tiers of tokens: queueing tokens and dispatch tokens.

A queueing token is required to allocate a request. In fact, these
tokens are actually the blk-mq internal scheduler tags, but the
scheduler manages the allocation directly in order to implement its
policy.

Dispatch tokens are device-wide and split up into two scheduling
domains: reads vs. writes. Each hardware queue dispatches batches
round-robin between the scheduling domains as long as tokens are
available for that domain.

These tokens can be used as the mechanism to enable various policies.
The policy Kyber uses is inspired by active queue management techniques
for network routing, similar to blk-wbt. The scheduler monitors
latencies and scales the number of dispatch tokens accordingly. Queueing
tokens are used to prevent starvation of synchronous requests by
asynchronous requests.

Various extensions are possible, including better heuristics and ionice
support. The new scheduler isn't set as the default yet.
