Vasily Tarasov d58cdfb89c [PATCH] block layer: ioprio_best function fix
Currently ioprio_best function first checks wethere aioprio or bioprio equals
IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE (ioprio_valid() macros does that) and if it is so it returns
bioprio/aioprio appropriately. Thus the next four lines, that set aclass/bclass
to IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, if aclass/bclass == IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE, are never executed.

The second problem: if aioprio from class IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE and bioprio from
class IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE are passed to ioprio_best function, it will return
IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE. It means that during __make_request we can merge two
requests and set the priority of merged request to IDLE, while one of
the initial requests originates from a process with NONE (default) priority.
So we can get a situation when a process with default ioprio will experience
IO starvation, while there is no process from real-time class in the system.

Just removing ioprio_valid check should correct situation.

* 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
