Subject[ 017/187] bql: Avoid unneeded limit decrement.
Date
From: Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Hiroaki SHIMODA <shimoda.hiroaki@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 25426b794efdc70dde7fd3134dc56fac3e7d562d ]

When below pattern is observed,

TIME
dql_queued() dql_completed() |
a) initial state |
|
b) X bytes queued V

c) Y bytes queued
d) X bytes completed
e) Z bytes queued
f) Y bytes completed

a) dql->limit has already some value and there is no in-flight packet.
b) X bytes queued.
c) Y bytes queued and excess limit.
d) X bytes completed and dql->prev_ovlimit is set and also
dql->prev_num_queued is set Y.
e) Z bytes queued.
f) Y bytes completed. inprogress and prev_inprogress are true.

At f), according to the comment, all_prev_completed becomes
true and limit should be increased. But POSDIFF() ignores
(completed == dql->prev_num_queued) case, so limit is decreased.
