block: Fix handling of tasks without ioprio in ioprio_get(2)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
