In such case, the queue state machine will remain in LIMIT_HIGH state and all other cgroups will be throttled according to high limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to higher state. We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the cgroup is below its high limit. This isn't what we want. A more complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_HIGH. But when queue gets upgraded to higher state, other cgroups could dispatch more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below its high limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is to detect if cgroup is truely idle. Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg, not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16. Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle. We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by default 50us for SSD and 1ms for HD). The idea is think time above the threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer think time is ok.
