Commit Message

  From: Zhaoyang Huang <zhaoyang.huang@unisoc.com>

Currently, request's ioprio are set via task's schedule priority(when no
blkcg configured), which has high priority tasks possess the privilege on
both of CPU and IO scheduling. Furthermore, most of the write requestes
are launched asynchronosly from kworker which can't know the submitter's
priorities.
This commit works as a hint of original policy by promoting the request
ioprio based on the page/folio's activity. The original idea comes from
LRU_GEN which provides more precised folio activity than before. This
commit try to adjust the request's ioprio when certain part of its folios
are hot, which indicate that this request carry important contents and
need be scheduled ealier.

The filesystem should call bio_set_active_ioprio_folio() after
calling bio_add_folio. Please be noted that this set of API can not
handle bvec_try_merge_page cases.

This commit is verified on a v6.6 6GB RAM android14 system via 4 test cases
by calling bio_set_active_ioprio in erofs, ext4, f2fs and blkdev(raw
partition of gendisk)

Case 1:
script[a] which get significant improved fault time as expected[b]*
where dd's cost also shrink from 55s to 40s.
(1). fault_latency.bin is an ebpf based test tool which measure all task's
   iowait latency during page fault when scheduled out/in.
(2). costmem generate page fault by mmaping a file and access the VA.
(3). dd generate concurrent vfs io.

Case 3:
This commit is also verified by the case of launching camera APP which is
usually considered as heavy working load on both of memory and IO, which
shows 12%-24% improvement.

change of v2: calculate page's activity via helper function
change of v3: solve layer violation by move API into mm
change of v4: keep block clean by removing the page related API
change of v5: introduce the macros of bio_add_folio/page for read dir.
change of v6: replace the macro of bio_add_xxx by submit_bio which
                iterating the bio_vec before launching bio to block layer
change of v7: introduce the function bio_set_active_ioprio
              provide updated test result
change of v8: provide two sets of APIs for bio_set_active_ioprio_xxx
change of v9: modify the code according to Matthew's opinion, leave
	      bio_set_active_ioprio_folio only

How did you test this?  Nothing calls this function, so this patch can't
actually be doing anything.  Are you planning to update any filesystems to use
this?

Thanks for asking. I verified this patch in an Android based 6GB RAM
system by modifying EROFS/F2FS/EXT4's aops API which I didn't
upstreaming yet. I would like to recommend this to the desired fs if
this is accepted.

This patch needs to come with a user.  Unused code can't be accepted.
