[PATCH v4 2/2] block, bfq: do not idle if only one cgroup is activated

From: Yu Kuai <hidden>
Date: 2021-10-14 01:33:27
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: bfq i/o scheduler, block layer, the rest · Maintainers: Yu Kuai, Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds

If only one group is activated, there is no need to guarantee the
same share of the throughput of queues in the same group.

Test procedure:
run "fio -numjobs=1 -ioengine=psync -bs=4k -direct=1 -rw=randread..."
multiple times in the same cgroup.

Test result: total bandwidth(Mib/s)
| total jobs | before this patch | after this patch      |
| ---------- | ----------------- | --------------------- |
| 1          | 33.8              | 33.8                  |
| 2          | 33.8              | 65.4 (32.7 each job)  |
| 4          | 33.8              | 106.8 (26.7 each job) |
| 8          | 33.8              | 126.4 (15.8 each job) |

By the way, if I test with "fio -numjobs=1/2/4/8 ...", test result is
the same with or without this patch. This is because bfq_queue can
be merged in this situation.
