[PATCH RFC 0/9] support concurrent sync io for bfq on a specail occasion

[Yu Kuai]

Bfq can't handle sync io concurrently as long as the io are not issued
from root group currently.

Previous patch set:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211014014556.3597008-2-yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx/t/

During implemting the method mentioned by the above patch set, I found
more problems that will block implemting concurrent sync io. The
modifications of this patch set are as follows:

1) count root group into 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs';
2) don't idle if 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs' is 1;
3) If the group doesn't have pending requests while it's child groups
have pending requests, don't count the group.
4) Once the group doesn't have pending requests, decrease
'num_groups_with_pending_reqs' immediately. Don't delay to when all
it's child groups don't have pending requests.

Noted that I just tested basic functionality of this patchset, and I
think it's better to see if anyone have suggestions or better
solutions.

  block, bfq: add new apis to iterate bfq entities
  block, bfq: apply news apis where root group is not expected
  block, bfq: handle the case when for_each_entity() access root group
  block, bfq: count root group into 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs'
  block, bfq: do not idle if only one cgroup is activated
  block, bfq: only count group that the bfq_queue belongs to
  block, bfq: record how many queues have pending requests in bfq_group
  block, bfq: move forward __bfq_weights_tree_remove()
  block, bfq: decrease 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs' earlier
