Subject: [PATCH BUGFIX/IMPROVEMENT 3/4] block, bfq: let early-merged queues be weight-raised on split too
A just-created bfq_queue, say Q, may happen to be merged with another
bfq_queue on the very first invocation of the function
__bfq_insert_request. In such a case, even if Q would clearly deserve
interactive weight raising (as it has just been created), the function
bfq_add_request does not make it to be invoked for Q, and thus to
activate weight raising for Q. As a consequence, when the state of Q
is saved for a possible future restore, after a split of Q from the
other bfq_queue(s), such a state happens to be (unjustly)
non-weight-raised. Then the bfq_queue will not enjoy any weight
raising on the split, even if should still be in an interactive
weight-raising period when the split occurs.
This commit solves this problem as follows, for a just-created
bfq_queue that is being early-merged: it stores directly, in the saved
state of the bfq_queue, the weight-raising state that would have been
assigned to the bfq_queue if not early-merged.
