The problem is that the second bio is finished after 10s instead of 20s.
Root cause:
1) second bio will be flagged:
__blk_throtl_bio
while (true) {
...
if (sq->nr_queued[rw]) -> some bio is throttled already
break
};
bio_set_flag(bio, BIO_THROTTLED); -> flag the bio
2) flagged bio will be dispatched without waiting:
throtl_dispatch_tg
tg_may_dispatch
tg_with_in_bps_limit
if (bps_limit == U64_MAX || bio_flagged(bio, BIO_THROTTLED))
*wait = 0; -> wait time is zero
return true;
commit 9f5ede3c01 ("block: throttle split bio in case of iops limit")
support to count split bios for iops limit, thus it adds flagged bio
checking in tg_with_in_bps_limit() so that split bios will only count
once for bps limit, however, it introduce a new problem that io throttle
won't work if multiple bios are throttled.
In order to fix the problem, handle iops/bps limit in different ways:
1) for iops limit, there is no flag to record if the bio is throttled,
and iops is always applied.
2) for bps limit, original bio will be flagged with BIO_BPS_THROTTLED,
and io throttle will ignore bio with the flag.
Noted this patch also remove the code to set flag in __bio_clone(), it's
introduced in commit 111be88398 ("block-throttle: avoid double
charge"), and author thinks split bio can be resubmited and throttled
again, which is wrong because split bio will continue to dispatch from
caller.

Throttled bios can't be issued after del_gendisk() is done, thus
it's better to cancel them immediately rather than waiting for
throttle is done.
For example, if user thread is throttled with low bps while it's
issuing large io, and the device is deleted. The user thread will
wait for a long time for io to return.

Revert commit 4f1e9630af ("blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large
IO scenarios") since we have another easier way to address this issue and
get better iops throttling result.

We need to throttle split bio in case of IOPS limit even though the
split bio has been marked as BIO_THROTTLED since block layer
accounts split bio actually.
If only throughput throttle is setup, no need to throttle any more
if BIO_THROTTLED is set since we have accounted & considered the
whole bio bytes already.
Add one flag of THROTL_TG_HAS_IOPS_LIMIT for serving this purpose.

Commit 111be88398 ("block-throttle: avoid double charge") marks bio as
BIO_THROTTLED unconditionally if __blk_throtl_bio() is called on this bio,
then this bio won't be called into __blk_throtl_bio() any more. This way
is to avoid double charge in case of bio splitting. It is reasonable for
read/write throughput limit, but not reasonable for IOPS limit because
block layer provides io accounting against split bio.
Chunguang Xu has already observed this issue and fixed it in commit
4f1e9630af ("blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO scenarios").
However, that patch only covers bio splitting in __blk_queue_split(), and
we have other kind of bio splitting, such as bio_split() &
submit_bio_noacct() and other ways.
This patch tries to fix the issue in one generic way by always charging
the bio for iops limit in blk_throtl_bio(). This way is reasonable:
re-submission & fast-cloned bio is charged if it is submitted to same
disk/queue, and BIO_THROTTLED will be cleared if bio->bi_bdev is changed.
This new approach can get much more smooth/stable iops limit compared with
commit 4f1e9630af ("blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO
scenarios") since that commit can't throttle current split bios actually.
Also this way won't cause new double bio iops charge in
blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() in which blk_throtl_bio() won't be called
any more.

Even if no policies are defined, we spend ~2% of the total IO time
checking. Move the fast path inline.
