We call this once per IO, which can be millions of times per second.
Since nobody really uses io priorities, or at least it isn't very
common, this is all wasted time and can amount to as much as 3% of
the total kernel time.

The introduction of the macro IOPRIO_PRIO_LEVEL() in commit eca2040972b4
("scsi: block: ioprio: Clean up interface definition") results in an
iopriority level to always be masked using the macro IOPRIO_LEVEL_MASK, and
thus to the kernel always seeing an acceptable value for an I/O priority
level when checked in ioprio_check_cap(). Before this patch, this function
would return an error for some (but not all) invalid values for a level
valid range of [0..7].
Restore and improve the detection of invalid priority levels by introducing
the inline function ioprio_value() to check an ioprio class, level and hint
value before combining these fields into a single value to be used with
ioprio_set() or AIOs. If an invalid value for the class, level or hint of
an ioprio is detected, ioprio_value() returns an ioprio using the class
IOPRIO_CLASS_INVALID, indicating an invalid value and causing
ioprio_check_cap() to return -EINVAL.

The I/O priority user interface defines the 16-bits ioprio values as the
combination of the upper 3-bits for an I/O priority class and the lower
13-bits as priority data. However, the kernel only uses the lower 3-bits of
the priority data to define priority levels for the RT and BE priority
classes. The data part of an ioprio value is completely ignored for the
IDLE and NONE classes. This is enforced by checks done in
ioprio_check_cap(), which is called for all paths that allow defining an
I/O priority for I/Os: the per-context ioprio_set() system call, aio
interface and io_uring interface.
Clarify this fact in the uapi ioprio.h header file and introduce the
IOPRIO_PRIO_LEVEL_MASK and IOPRIO_PRIO_LEVEL() macros for users to define
and get priority levels in an ioprio value. The coarser macro
IOPRIO_PRIO_DATA() is retained for backward compatibility with old
applications already using it. There is no functional change introduced
with this.
In-kernel users of the IOPRIO_PRIO_DATA() macro which are explicitly
handling I/O priority data as a priority level are modified to use the new
IOPRIO_PRIO_LEVEL() macro without any functional change. Since f2fs is the
only user of this macro not explicitly using that value as a priority
level, it is left unchanged.

ioprio_get(2) can be asked to return the best IO priority from several
tasks (IOPRIO_WHO_PGRP, IOPRIO_WHO_USER). Currently the call treats
tasks without set IO priority as having priority
IOPRIO_CLASS_BE/IOPRIO_BE_NORM however this does not really reflect the
IO priority the task will get (which depends on task's nice value).
Fix the code to use the real IO priority task's IO will use. We have to
modify code for ioprio_get(IOPRIO_WHO_PROCESS) to keep returning
IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE priority for tasks without set IO priority as a
special case to maintain userspace visible API.

get_current_ioprio() for that and also move the bulk out of the header

Commit e70344c05995 ("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
e70344c05995 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 e70344c05995. 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.

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.

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.

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

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.
