block/mq-deadline: Prioritize high-priority requests

block/mq-deadline: Prioritize high-priority requests

In addition to reverting commit 7b05bf771084 ("Revert "block/mq-deadline:
Prioritize high-priority requests""), this patch uses 'jiffies' instead
of ktime_get() in the code for aging lower priority requests.

This patch has been tested as follows:

Measured QD=1/jobs=1 IOPS for nullb with the mq-deadline scheduler.
Result without and with this patch: 555 K IOPS.

Measured QD=1/jobs=8 IOPS for nullb with the mq-deadline scheduler.
Result without and with this patch: about 380 K IOPS.

Ran the following script:

set -e
scriptdir=$(dirname "$0")
if [ -e /sys/module/scsi_debug ]; then modprobe -r scsi_debug; fi
modprobe scsi_debug ndelay=1000000 max_queue=16
sd=''
while [ -z "$sd" ]; do
  sd=$(basename /sys/bus/pseudo/drivers/scsi_debug/adapter*/host*/target*/*/block/*)
done
echo $((100*1000)) > "/sys/block/$sd/queue/iosched/prio_aging_expire"
if [ -e /sys/fs/cgroup/io.prio.class ]; then
  cd /sys/fs/cgroup
  echo restrict-to-be >io.prio.class
  echo +io > cgroup.subtree_control
else
  cd /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/
  echo restrict-to-be >blkio.prio.class
fi
echo $$ >cgroup.procs
mkdir -p hipri
cd hipri
if [ -e io.prio.class ]; then
  echo none-to-rt >io.prio.class
else
  echo none-to-rt >blkio.prio.class
fi
{ "${scriptdir}/max-iops" -a1 -d32 -j1 -e mq-deadline "/dev/$sd" >& ~/low-pri.txt & }
echo $$ >cgroup.procs
"${scriptdir}/max-iops" -a1 -d32 -j1 -e mq-deadline "/dev/$sd" >& ~/hi-pri.txt

Result:
* 11000 IOPS for the high-priority job
*    40 IOPS for the low-priority job

If the prio aging expiry time is changed from 100s into 0, the IOPS results
change into 6712 and 6796 IOPS.

The max-iops script is a script that runs fio with the following arguments:
--bs=4K --gtod_reduce=1 --ioengine=libaio --ioscheduler=${arg_e} --runtime=60
--norandommap --rw=read --thread --buffered=0 --numjobs=${arg_j}
--iodepth=${arg_d} --iodepth_batch_submit=${arg_a}
--iodepth_batch_complete=$((arg_d / 2)) --name=${positional_argument_1}
--filename=${positional_argument_1}
