Write-back throttling (WBT) enables QUEUE_FLAG_STATS on the request
queue. But WBT does not make sense for passthrough io, so skip
QUEUE_FLAG_STATS processing.
Also skip rq_qos_issue/done for passthrough io.
Overall, the change gives ~11% hike in peak performance.

In our test of iocost, we encountered some list add/del corruptions of
inner_walk list in ioc_timer_fn.
The reason can be described as follows:
cpu 0 cpu 1
ioc_qos_write ioc_qos_write
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
ioc = q_to_ioc(queue);
if (!ioc) {
ioc = kzalloc();
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
}
...
rq_qos_add(q, rqos);
...
}
When the io.cost.qos file is written by two cpus concurrently, rq_qos may
be added to one disk twice. In that case, there will be two iocs enabled
and running on one disk. They own different iocgs on their active list. In
the ioc_timer_fn function, because of the iocgs from two iocs have the
same root iocg, the root iocg's walk_list may be overwritten by each other
and this leads to list add/del corruptions in building or destroying the
inner_walk list.
And so far, the blk-rq-qos framework works in case that one instance for
one type rq_qos per queue by default. This patch make this explicit and
also fix the crash above.

a647a524a4 ("block: don't call rq_qos_ops->done_bio if the bio isn't
tracked") made bio_endio() skip rq_qos_done_bio() if BIO_TRACKED is not set.
While this fixed a potential oops, it also broke blk-iocost by skipping the
done_bio callback for merged bios.
Before, whether a bio goes through rq_qos_throttle() or rq_qos_merge(),
rq_qos_done_bio() would be called on the bio on completion with BIO_TRACKED
distinguishing the former from the latter. rq_qos_done_bio() is not called
for bios which wenth through rq_qos_merge(). This royally confuses
blk-iocost as the merged bios never finish and are considered perpetually
in-flight.
One reliably reproducible failure mode is an intermediate cgroup geting
stuck active preventing its children from being activated due to the
leaf-only rule, leading to loss of control. The following is from
resctl-bench protection scenario which emulates isolating a web server like
workload from a memory bomb run on an iocost configuration which should
yield a reasonable level of protection.

Fix it by introducing a new flag BIO_QOS_MERGED to mark merged bios and
calling rq_qos_done_bio() on them too. For consistency and clarity, rename
BIO_TRACKED to BIO_QOS_THROTTLED. The flag checks are moved into
rq_qos_done_bio() so that it's next to the code paths that set the flags.

Turns out it is caused by race between adding rq qos(wbt) and normal IO
because rq_qos_add can be run when IO is being submitted, fix this issue
by freezing queue before adding/deleting rq qos to queue.
rq_qos_exit() needn't to freeze queue because it is called after queue
has been frozen.
iolatency calls rq_qos_add() during allocating queue, so freezing won't
add delay because queue usage refcount works at atomic mode at that
time.
iocost calls rq_qos_add() when writing cgroup attribute file, that is
fine to freeze queue at that time since we usually freeze queue when
storing to queue sysfs attribute, meantime iocost only exists on the
root cgroup.
wbt_init calls it in blk_register_queue() and queue sysfs attribute
store(queue_wb_lat_store() when write it 1st time in case of !BLK_WBT_MQ),
the following patch will speedup the queue freezing in wbt_init.

This patchset implements IO cost model based work-conserving
proportional controller.
While io.latency provides the capability to comprehensively prioritize
and protect IOs depending on the cgroups, its protection is binary -
the lowest latency target cgroup which is suffering is protected at
the cost of all others. In many use cases including stacking multiple
workload containers in a single system, it's necessary to distribute
IO capacity with better granularity.
One challenge of controlling IO resources is the lack of trivially
observable cost metric. The most common metrics - bandwidth and iops
- can be off by orders of magnitude depending on the device type and
IO pattern. However, the cost isn't a complete mystery. Given
several key attributes, we can make fairly reliable predictions on how
expensive a given stream of IOs would be, at least compared to other
IO patterns.
The function which determines the cost of a given IO is the IO cost
model for the device. This controller distributes IO capacity based
on the costs estimated by such model. The more accurate the cost
model the better but the controller adapts based on IO completion
latency and as long as the relative costs across differents IO
patterns are consistent and sensible, it'll adapt to the actual
performance of the device.
Currently, the only implemented cost model is a simple linear one with
a few sets of default parameters for different classes of device.
This covers most common devices reasonably well. All the
infrastructure to tune and add different cost models is already in
place and a later patch will also allow using bpf progs for cost
models.
Please see the top comment in blk-iocost.c and documentation for
more details.

The blk-iolatency controller measures the time from rq_qos_throttle() to
rq_qos_done_bio() and attributes this time to the first bio that needs
to create the request. This means if a bio is plug-mergeable or
bio-mergeable, it gets to bypass the blk-iolatency controller.
The recent series [1], to tag all bios w/ blkgs undermined how iolatency
was determining which bios it was charging and should process in
rq_qos_done_bio(). Because all bios are being tagged, this caused the
atomic_t for the struct rq_wait inflight count to underflow and result
in a stall.
This patch adds a new flag BIO_TRACKED to let controllers know that a
bio is going through the rq_qos path. blk-iolatency now checks if this
flag is set to see if it should process the bio in rq_qos_done_bio().
Overloading BLK_QUEUE_ENTERED works, but makes the flag rules confusing.
BIO_THROTTLED was another candidate, but the flag is set for all bios
that have gone through blk-throttle code. Overloading a flag comes with
the burden of making sure that when either implementation changes, a
change in setting rules for one doesn't cause a bug in the other. So
here, we unfortunately opt for adding a new flag.

Originally when I split out the common code from blk-wbt into rq_qos I
left the wbt_wait() where it was and simply copied and modified it
slightly to work for io-latency. However they are both basically the
same thing, and as time has gone on wbt_wait() has ended up much smarter
and kinder than it was when I copied it into io-latency, which means
io-latency has lost out on these improvements.
Since they are the same thing essentially except for a few minor things,
create rq_qos_wait() that replicates what wbt_wait() currently does with
callbacks that can be passed in for the snowflakes to do their own thing
as appropriate.
