  • Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
    struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
    the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
    the proper type.

  • There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
    next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
    invoked with bad or NULL data.

    To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
    Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
    run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also
    changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts,
    and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can
    preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
    inside the lock after we detach the old one.

    This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
    with a very busy io load.

  • The original implementation directly used dispatch queue. As new
    generic dispatch queue imposes stricter rules over ioscheds and
    dispatch queue usage, this direct use becomes somewhat problematic.
    This patch reimplements noop-iosched such that it complies to generic
    iosched model better. Request merging with q->last_merge and
    rq->queuelist.prev/next work again now.
