io-controller: Add a new interface "weight_device" for IO-Controller
Currently, IO Controller makes use of blkio.weight to assign weight for
all devices. Here a new user interface "blkio.weight_device" is introduced to
assign different weights for different devices. blkio.weight becomes the
default value for devices which are not configured by "blkio.weight_device"
You can use the following format to assigned specific weight for a given
device:
#echo "major:minor weight" > blkio.weight_device
major:minor represents device number.
And you can remove weight for a given device as following:
#echo "major:minor 0" > blkio.weight_device
V1->V2 changes:
- use user interface "weight_device" instead of "policy" suggested by Vivek
- rename some struct suggested by Vivek
- rebase to 2.6-block "for-linus" branch
- remove an useless list_empty check pointed out by Li Zefan
- some trivial typo fix
V2->V3 changes:
- Move policy_*_node() functions up to get rid of forward declarations
- rename related functions by adding prefix "blkio_"
