Subject: [PATCHv4 1/1] block: introduce content activity based ioprio
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2024 20:08:00 +0800

Currently, request's ioprio are set via task's schedule priority(when no
blkcg configured), which has high priority tasks possess the privilege on
both of CPU and IO scheduling.
This commit works as a hint of original policy by promoting the request ioprio
based on the page/folio's activity. The original idea comes from LRU_GEN
which provides more precised folio activity than before. This commit try
to adjust the request's ioprio when certain part of its folios are hot,
which indicate that this request carry important contents and need be
scheduled ealier.

This commit is verified on a v6.6 6GB RAM android14 system via 4 test cases
by changing the bio_add_page/folio API in ext4 and f2fs.

Case 1:
script[a] which get significant improved fault time as expected[b]
where dd's cost also shrink from 55s to 40s.
(1). fault_latency.bin is an ebpf based test tool which measure all task's
   iowait latency during page fault when scheduled out/in.
(2). costmem generate page fault by mmaping a file and access the VA.
(3). dd generate concurrent vfs io.

Case 3:
This commit is also verified by the case of launching camera APP which is
usually considered as heavy working load on both of memory and IO, which
shows 12%-24% improvement.

androbench has no improvment as well as regression which supposed to be
its test time is short which MGLRU hasn't take effect yet.
