commit e589f46445960c274cc813a1cc8e2fc73b2a1849 upstream.
Commit e70344c059 ("block: fix default IO priority handling")
introduced an inconsistency in get_current_ioprio() that tasks without
IO context return IOPRIO_DEFAULT priority while tasks with freshly
allocated IO context will return 0 (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE/0) IO priority.
Tasks without IO context used to be rare before 5a9d041ba2f6 ("block:
move io_context creation into where it's needed") but after this commit
they became common because now only BFQ IO scheduler setups task's IO
context. Similar inconsistency is there for get_task_ioprio() so this
inconsistency is now exposed to userspace and userspace will see
different IO priority for tasks operating on devices with BFQ compared
to devices without BFQ. Furthemore the changes done by commit
e70344c059 change the behavior when no IO priority is set for BFQ IO
scheduler which is also documented in ioprio_set(2) manpage:
"If no I/O scheduler has been set for a thread, then by default the I/O
priority will follow the CPU nice value (setpriority(2)). In Linux
kernels before version 2.6.24, once an I/O priority had been set using
ioprio_set(), there was no way to reset the I/O scheduling behavior to
the default. Since Linux 2.6.24, specifying ioprio as 0 can be used to
reset to the default I/O scheduling behavior."
So make sure we default to IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE as used to be the case
before commit e70344c059. Also cleanup alloc_io_context() to
explicitely set this IO priority for the allocated IO context to avoid
future surprises. Note that we tweak ioprio_best() to maintain
ioprio_get(2) behavior and make this commit easily backportable.

commit e6a59aac8a8713f335a37d762db0dbe80e7f6d38 upstream.
do_each_pid_thread(PIDTYPE_PGID) can race with a concurrent
change_pid(PIDTYPE_PGID) that can move the task from one hlist
to another while iterating. Serialize ioprio_get to take
the tasklist_lock in this case, just like it's set counterpart.

The default IO priority is the best effort (BE) class with the
normal priority level IOPRIO_NORM (4). However, get_task_ioprio()
returns IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE/IOPRIO_NORM as the default priority and
get_current_ioprio() returns IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE/0. Let's be consistent
with the defined default and have both of these functions return the
default priority IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, IOPRIO_NORM) when
the user did not define another default IO priority for the task.
In include/uapi/linux/ioprio.h, introduce the IOPRIO_BE_NORM macro as
an alias to IOPRIO_NORM to clarify that this default level applies to
the BE priotity class. In include/linux/ioprio.h, define the macro
IOPRIO_DEFAULT as IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, IOPRIO_BE_NORM)
and use this new macro when setting a priority to the default.

[axboe: drop unnecessary lightnvm change]
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
The BFQ scheduler and ioprio_check_cap() both assume that the RT
priority class (IOPRIO_CLASS_RT) can have up to 8 different priority
levels, similarly to the BE class (IOPRIO_CLASS_iBE). This is
controlled using the IOPRIO_BE_NR macro , which is badly named as the
number of levels also applies to the RT class.
Introduce the class independent IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS macro, defined to 8,
to make things clear. Keep the old IOPRIO_BE_NR macro definition as an
alias for IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS.

Aio per command iopriority support introduces a second interface between
userland and the kernel capable of passing iopriority. The aio interface also
needs the ability to verify that the submitting context has sufficient
privileges to submit IOPRIO_RT commands. This patch creates the
ioprio_check_cap function to be used by the ioprio_set system call and also by
the aio interface.

setpriority(PRIO_USER, 0, x) will change the priority of tasks outside of
the current pid namespace. This is in contrast to both the other modes of
setpriority and the example of kill(-1). Fix this. getpriority and
ioprio have the same failure mode, fix them too.

Priority of a merged request is computed by ioprio_best(). If one of the
requests has undefined priority (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) and another request
has priority from IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, the function will return the
undefined priority which is wrong. Fix the function to properly return
priority of a request with the defined priority.
