Subject: [PATCH -next 00/11] support concurrent sync io for bfq on a specail occasion

Currently, bfq can't handle sync io concurrently as long as they
are not issued from root group. This is because
'bfqd->num_groups_with_pending_reqs > 0' is always true in
bfq_asymmetric_scenario().

This patchset tries to support concurrent sync io if all the sync ios
are issued from the same cgroup:

1) Count root_group into 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs', patch 1-5;

2) Don't idle if 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs' is 1, patch 6;

3) Don't count the group if the group doesn't have pending requests,
while it's child groups may have pending requests, patch 7;

This is because, for example:
if sync ios are issued from cgroup /root/c1/c2, root, c1 and c2
will all be counted into 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs',
which makes it impossible to handle sync ios concurrently.

4) Decrease 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs' when the last queue completes
all the requests, while child groups may still have pending
requests, patch 8-10;

This is because, for example:
t1 issue sync io on root group, t2 and t3 issue sync io on the same
child group. num_groups_with_pending_reqs is 2 now.
After t1 stopped, num_groups_with_pending_reqs is still 2. sync io from
t2 and t3 still can't be handled concurrently.

Yu Kuai (11):
  block, bfq: add new apis to iterate bfq entities
  block, bfq: apply news apis where root group is not expected
  block, bfq: cleanup for __bfq_activate_requeue_entity()
  block, bfq: move the increasement of 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs' to
    it's caller
  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 parent bfqg when bfqq is activated
  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
  block, bfq: cleanup bfqq_group()
