This is the per-I/O equivalent of the ioprio_set system call.
See the following link for performance implications on a SATA HDD:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/6/495
First patch factors ioprio_check_cap function out of ioprio_set system call to
also be used by the aio ioprio interface.
Second patch converts kiocb ki_hint field to a u16 to avoid kiocb bloat.
Third patch passes ioprio hint from aio iocb to kiocb and initializes kiocb
ioprio value appropriately when it is not explicitly set.
Fourth patch enables the feature for blkdev.
Fifth patch enables the feature for iomap direct IO
Note: this work is based on top of linux-vfs/for-next
v2: merge patches
use IOCB_FLAG_IOPRIO
validate intended use with IOCB_IOPRIO
add linux-api and linux-block to cc
v3: add ioprio_check_cap function
convert kiocb ki_hint to u16
use ioprio_check_cap when adding ioprio to kiocb in aio.c
v4: handle IOCB_IOPRIO in aio_prep_rw
note patch 3 depends on patch 1 in commit msg
v5: rename ki_hint_valid -> ki_hint_validate
remove ki_hint_validate comment and whitespace
remove IOCB_IOPRIO flag
initialize kiocb to have no priority
v6: add __blkdev_direct_IO_simple ioprio support
Adam Manzanares (5):
block: add ioprio_check_cap function
fs: Convert kiocb rw_hint from enum to u16
fs: Add aio iopriority support
fs: blkdev set bio prio from kiocb prio
fs: iomap dio set bio prio from kiocb prio
