Paolo Valente 431b17f9d5 block, bfq: don't change ioprio class for a bfq_queue on a service tree
On each deactivation or re-scheduling (after being served) of a
bfq_queue, BFQ invokes the function __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio(),
to perform pending updates of ioprio, weight and ioprio class for the
bfq_queue. BFQ also invokes this function on I/O-request dispatches,
to raise or lower weights more quickly when needed, thereby improving
latency. However, the entity representing the bfq_queue may be on the
active (sub)tree of a service tree when this happens, and, although
with a very low probability, the bfq_queue may happen to also have a
pending change of its ioprio class. If both conditions hold when
__bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked, then the entity moves to
a sort of hybrid state: the new service tree for the entity, as
returned by bfq_entity_service_tree(), differs from service tree on
which the entity still is. The functions that handle activations and
deactivations of entities do not cope with such a hybrid state (and
would need to become more complex to cope).

This commit addresses this issue by just making
__bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() not perform also a possible pending
change of ioprio class, when invoked on an I/O-request dispatch for a
bfq_queue. Such a change is thus postponed to when
__bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked on deactivation or
re-scheduling of the bfq_queue.
