Jens Axboe 0871714e08 cfq-iosched: relax IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE restrictions
Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This
is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle
class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is
requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS
opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root
only at the moment.

This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle
part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The
modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done
while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only
criteria as well.

*
* Helper functions for setting/querying io priorities of processes. The
* system calls closely mimmick getpriority/setpriority, see the man page for
* those. The prio argument is a composite of prio class and prio data, where
* the data argument has meaning within that class. The standard scheduling
* classes have 8 distinct prio levels, with 0 being the highest prio and 7
* being the lowest.
*
* IOW, setting BE scheduling class with prio 2 is done ala:
*
* unsigned int prio = (IOPRIO_CLASS_BE << IOPRIO_CLASS_SHIFT) | 2;
*
* ioprio_set(PRIO_PROCESS, pid, prio);
*
* See also Documentation/block/ioprio.txt
