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.

cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now:
- The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts
- The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts
The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by
definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is.
The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only.
The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the
priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking
from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall
just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update
the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can
remove this locking as well.

I know nothing about io scheduler, but I suspect set_task_ioprio() is not safe.
current_io_context() initializes "struct io_context", then sets ->io_context.
set_task_ioprio() running on another cpu may see the changes out of order, so
->set_ioprio(ioc) may use io_context which was not initialized properly.

From include/linux/sched.h:
* Careful: do_each_thread/while_each_thread is a double loop so
* 'break' will not work as expected - use goto instead.

Add a new security hook definition for the sys_ioprio_get operation. At
present, the SELinux hook function implementation for this hook is
identical to the getscheduler implementation but a separate hook is
introduced to allow this check to be specialized in the future if
necessary.
This patch also creates a helper function get_task_ioprio which handles the
access check in addition to retrieving the ioprio value for the task.

Implement an LSM hook for setting a task's IO priority, similar to the hook
for setting a tasks's nice value.
A previous version of this LSM hook was included in an older version of
multiadm by Jan Engelhardt, although I don't recall it being submitted
upstream.
Also included is the corresponding SELinux hook, which re-uses the setsched
permission in the proccess class.

- Make ioprio syscalls return long, like set/getpriority syscalls.
- Move function prototypes into syscalls.h so we can pick them up in the
32/64bit compat code.

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.
This import is based on my latest from -mm.
