Shaohua Li f5f2b6ceb2 CFQ: add think time check for service tree
Currently when the last queue of a service tree has no request, we don't
expire the queue to hope request from the service tree comes soon, so the
service tree doesn't miss its share. But if the think time is big, the
assumption isn't correct and we just waste bandwidth. In such case, we
don't do idle.

[global]
runtime=10
direct=1

[test1]
rw=randread
ioengine=libaio
size=500m
directory=/mnt
filename=file1
thinktime=9000

[test2]
rw=read
ioengine=libaio
size=1G
directory=/mnt
filename=file2

	patched		base
test1	41k/s		33k/s
test2	15868k/s	15789k/s
total	15902k/s	15817k/s

A slightly better

To check if the patch changes behavior of queue without think time. I also
tried to give test1 2ms think time or no think time. The test has variation
even without the patch, but the average throughput doesn't change with/without
the patch.
