Currently a queue can only dispatch up to 4 requests if there are other queues.
This isn't optimal, device can handle more requests, for example, AHCI can
handle 31 requests. I can understand the limit is for fairness, but we could
do a tweak: if the queue still has a lot of slice left, sounds we could
ignore the limit. Test shows this boost my workload (two thread randread of
a SSD) from 78m/s to 100m/s.
Thanks for suggestions from Corrado and Vivek for the patch.Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li

merge_bvec_fn() returns bvec->bv_len on success. So we have to check
against this value. But in case of fs_optimization merge we compare
with wrong value. This patch must be included in

Counters for requests "in flight" and "in driver" are used asymmetrically
in cfq_may_dispatch, and have slightly different meaning.
We split the rq_in_flight counter (was sync_flight) to count both sync
and async requests, in order to use this one, which is more accurate in
some corner cases.
The rq_in_driver counter is coalesced, since individual sync/async counts
are not used any more.Signed-off-by: Corrado Zoccolo

cciss: Fix problem with scatter gather elements in the scsi half of the driver
When support for more than 31 scatter gather elements was added to the block
half of the driver, the SCSI half of the driver was not addressed, and the bump
from 31 to 32 scatter gather elements in the command block itself (not chained)
actually broke the SCSI half of the driver, so that any transfer requiring 32
scatter gather elements wouldn't work. This fix also increases the max transfer
size and size of the scatter gather table to the limit supported by the controllerSigned-off-by: Stephen M. Cameron

cciss: fix scatter gather chain block dma direction kludge
The data direction for the chained block of scatter gather
elements should always be PCI_DMA_TODEVICE, but was mistakenly
set to the direction of the data transfer, then a kludge to
fix it was added, in which pci_dma_sync_single_for_device or
pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu was called. If the correct direction
is used in the first place, the kludge isn't needed.Signed-off-by: Stephen M. Cameron

CFQ currently applies the same logic of detecting seeky queues and
grouping them together for rotational disks as well as SSDs.
For SSDs, the time to complete a request doesn't depend on the
request location, but only on the size.
This patch therefore changes the criterion to group queues by
request size in case of SSDs, in order to achieve better fairness.Signed-off-by: Corrado Zoccolo

Current seeky detection is based on average seek lenght.
This is suboptimal, since the average will not distinguish between:
* a process doing medium sized seeks
* a process doing some sequential requests interleaved with larger seeks
and even a medium seek can take lot of time, if the requested sector
happens to be behind the disk head in the rotation (50% probability).Therefore, we change the seeky queue detection to work as follows:
* each request can be classified as sequential if it is very close to
the current head position, i.e. it is likely in the disk cache (disks
usually read more data than requested, and put it in cache for
subsequent reads). Otherwise, the request is classified as seeky.
* an history window of the last 32 requests is kept, storing the
classification result.
* A queue is marked as seeky if more than 1/8 of the last 32 requests
were seeky.This patch fixes a regression reported by Yanmin, on mmap 64k random
reads.Reported-by: Yanmin Zhang
