[PATCH 01/03] block: prepare I/O context code for BFQ
From: Fabio Checconi
Date: Tue Nov 11 2008 - 07:51:38 EST
BFQ uses struct cfq_io_context to store its per-process per-device data,
reusing the same code for cic handling of CFQ. The code is not shared
ATM to minimize the impact of these patches.
This patch introduces a new hlist to each io_context to store all the
cic's allocated by BFQ to allow calling the right destructor on module
unload; the radix tree used for cic lookup needs to be duplicated
because it can contain dead keys inserted by a scheduler and later
retrieved by the other one.
Update the io_context exit and free paths to take care also of
the BFQ cic's.
Change the type of cfqq inside struct cfq_io_context to void *
to use it also for BFQ per-queue data.
A new bfq-specific ioprio_changed field is necessary, too, to avoid
clobbering cfq's one, so switch ioprio_changed to a bitmap, with one
element per scheduler.
