5a8d75a1b8 block: fix bio_will_gap() for first bvec with offset
Commit 729204ef49ec("block: relax check on sg gap") allows us to merge
bios, if both are physically contiguous.  This change can merge a huge
number of small bios, through mkfs for example, mkfs.ntfs running time
can be decreased to ~1/10.

But if one rq starts with a non-aligned buffer (the 1st bvec's bv_offset
is non-zero) and if we allow the merge, it is quite difficult to respect
sg gap limit, especially the max segment size, or we risk having an
unaligned virtual boundary.  This patch tries to avoid the issue by
disallowing a merge, if the req starts with an unaligned buffer.

Also add comments to explain why the merged segment can't end in
unaligned virt boundary.

6d8c6c0f97 blk-mq: Restart a single queue if tag sets are shared
To improve scalability, if hardware queues are shared, restart
a single hardware queue in round-robin fashion. Rename
blk_mq_sched_restart_queues() to reflect the new semantics.
Remove blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_queue() because this function
has no callers. Remove flag QUEUE_FLAG_RESTART because this
patch removes the code that uses this flag.

c01228db4b Revert "scsi, block: fix duplicate bdi name registration crashes"
This reverts commit 0dba1314d4. It causes
leaking of device numbers for SCSI when SCSI registers multiple gendisks
for one request_queue in succession. It can be easily reproduced using
Omar's script [1] on kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
Furthermore the protection provided by this commit is not needed anymore
as the problem it was fixing got also fixed by commit 165a5e22fa
"block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()".

1e739730c5 block: optionally merge discontiguous discard bios into a single request
Add a new merge strategy that merges discard bios into a request until the
maximum number of discard ranges (or the maximum discard size) is reached
from the plug merging code.  I/O scheduler merging is not wired up yet
but might also be useful, although not for fast devices like NVMe which
are the only user for now.

Note that for now we don't support limiting the size of each discard range,
but if needed that can be added later.

50e1dab86a blk-mq-sched: fix starvation for multiple hardware queues and shared tags
If we have both multiple hardware queues and shared tag map between
devices, we need to ensure that we propagate the hardware queue
restart bit higher up. This is because we can get into a situation
where we don't have any IO pending on a hardware queue, yet we fail
getting a tag to start new IO. If that happens, it's not enough to
mark the hardware queue as needing a restart, we need to bubble
that up to the higher level queue as well.

bd166ef183 blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO schedulers
This adds a set of hooks that intercepts the blk-mq path of
allocating/inserting/issuing/completing requests, allowing
us to develop a scheduler within that framework.

We reuse the existing elevator scheduler API on the registration
side, but augment that with the scheduler flagging support for
the blk-mq interfce, and with a separate set of ops hooks for MQ
devices.

We split driver and scheduler tags, so we can run the scheduling
independently of device queue depth.

   warn about the situation.

 - Low level driver specific changes.

 "I wish that was the case. We've pretty much agreed that we'll want to
  implement it as a virtual PCIe root bridge, similar to Intels other
  'innovation' VMD that we work around that way.

  But Intel management has apparently decided that they don't want to
  spend more cycles on this now that Lenovo has an optional BIOS that
  doesn't force this broken mode anymore, and no one outside of Intel
  has enough information to implement something like this.

  So for now I guess this warning is it, until Intel reconsideres and
  spends resources on fixing up the damage their Chipset people caused"

f9d03f96b9 block: improve handling of the magic discard payload
Instead of allocating a single unused biovec for discard requests, send
them down without any payload.  Instead we allow the driver to add a
"special" payload using a biovec embedded into struct request (unioned
over other fields never used while in the driver), and overloading
the number of segments for this case.

This has a couple of advantages:

 - we don't have to allocate the bio_vec
 - the amount of special casing for discard requests in the block
   layer is significantly reduced
 - using this same scheme for other request types is trivial,
   which will be important for implementing the new WRITE_ZEROES
   op on devices where it actually requires a payload (e.g. SCSI)
 - we can get rid of playing games with the request length, as
   we'll never touch it and completions will work just fine
 - it will allow us to support ranged discard operations in the
   future by merging non-contiguous discard bios into a single
   request
 - last but not least it removes a lot of code

This patch is the common base for my WIP series for ranges discards and to
remove discard_zeroes_data in favor of always using REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES,
so it would be good to get it in quickly.

64f1c21e86 blk-mq: make the polling code adaptive
The previous commit introduced the hybrid sleep/poll mode. Take
that one step further, and use the completion latencies to
automatically sleep for half the mean completion time. This is
a good approximation.

This changes the 'io_poll_delay' sysfs file a bit to expose the
various options. Depending on the value, the polling code will
behave differently:

-1	Never enter hybrid sleep mode
 0	Use half of the completion mean for the sleep delay
>0	Use this specific value as the sleep delay

06426adf07 blk-mq: implement hybrid poll mode for sync O_DIRECT
This patch enables a hybrid polling mode. Instead of polling after IO
submission, we can induce an artificial delay, and then poll after that.
For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, we
can sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then do our polling. This still puts
a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening
after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid
scheme, we can achieve big latency reductions while still using the same
(or less) amount of CPU.

87760e5eef block: hook up writeback throttling
Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot
more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity.
Background writeback should be, by definition, background
activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time
means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads,
which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that
we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence
of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback,
unless someone is waiting for it.

The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the
CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors
the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that
window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a
given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth
is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike
CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we
simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that
scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a
close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the
windows where we get good behavior.

Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This
happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive
scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window.
When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's
stable state of a zero scale count.

The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency
target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and
75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables
blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting.

We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have
a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup
on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with
that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will
rely on CFQ doing that for us.

cf43e6be86 block: add scalable completion tracking of requests
For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For
blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then
sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device
state.

The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows.

Add sysfs files to display the stats.

The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel
users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue
flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of
the stats files, that is something we could add as well.

d278d4a889 block: add code to track actual device queue depth
For blk-mq, ->nr_requests does track queue depth, at least at init
time. But for the older queue paths, it's simply a soft setting.
On top of that, it's generally larger than the hardware setting
on purpose, to allow backup of requests for merging.

Fill a hole in struct request with a 'queue_depth' member, that
drivers can call to more closely inform the block layer of the
real queue depth.

50d24c3440 block: immediately dispatch big size request
Currently block plug holds up to 16 non-mergeable requests. This makes
sense if the request size is small, eg, reduce lock contention. But if
request size is big enough, we don't need to worry about lock
contention. Holding such request makes no sense and it lows the disk
utilization.

In practice, this improves 10% throughput for my raid5 sequential write
workload.

The size (128k) is arbitrary right now, but it makes sure lock
contention is small. This probably could be more intelligent, eg, check
average request size holded. Since this is mainly for sequential IO,
probably not worthy.

V2: check the last request instead of the first request, so as long as
there is one big size request we flush the plug.

6a83e74d21 blk-mq: Introduce blk_mq_quiesce_queue()
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() waits until ongoing .queue_rq() invocations
have finished. This function does *not* wait until all outstanding
requests have finished (this means invocation of request.end_io()).
The algorithm used by blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is as follows:
* Hold either an RCU read lock or an SRCU read lock around
  .queue_rq() calls. The former is used if .queue_rq() does not
  block and the latter if .queue_rq() may block.
* blk_mq_quiesce_queue() first calls blk_mq_stop_hw_queues()
  followed by synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_rcu(). The latter
  call waits for .queue_rq() invocations that started before
  blk_mq_quiesce_queue() was called.
* The blk_mq_hctx_stopped() calls that control whether or not
  .queue_rq() will be called are called with the (S)RCU read lock
  held. This is necessary to avoid race conditions against
  blk_mq_quiesce_queue().

ef295ecf09 block: better op and flags encoding
Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields.  This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.

In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.

Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits.  Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

e806402130 block: split out request-only flags into a new namespace
A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of
use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request
internals.

This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for
them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests.  It
also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields
from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for
struct request.

5dc8b362a2 block: Add iocontext priority to request
Patch adds an association between iocontext ioprio and the ioprio of a
request. This is done to enable request based drivers the ability to
act on priority information stored in the request. An example being
ATA devices that support command priorities. If the ATA driver discovers
that the device supports command priorities and the request has valid
priority information indicating the request is high priority, then a high
priority command can be sent to the device. This should improve tail
latencies for high priority IO on any device that queues requests
internally and can make use of the priority information stored in the
request.

The ioprio of the request is set in blk_rq_set_prio which takes the
request and the ioc as arguments. If the ioc is valid in blk_rq_set_prio
then the iopriority of the request is set as the iopriority of the ioc.
In init_request_from_bio a check is made to see if the ioprio of the bio
is valid and if so then the request prio comes from the bio.

Adds the new BLKREPORTZONE and BLKRESETZONE ioctls for respectively
obtaining the zone configuration of a zoned block device and resetting
the write pointer of sequential zones of a zoned block device.

The BLKREPORTZONE ioctl maps directly to a single call of the function
blkdev_report_zones. The zone information result is passed as an array
of struct blk_zone identical to the structure used internally for
processing the REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT operation.  The BLKRESETZONE ioctl
maps to a single call of the blkdev_reset_zones function.

Add the zoned queue limit to indicate the zoning model of a block device.
Defined values are 0 (BLK_ZONED_NONE) for regular block devices,
1 (BLK_ZONED_HA) for host-aware zone block devices and 2 (BLK_ZONED_HM)
for host-managed zone block devices. The standards defined drive managed
model is not defined here since these block devices do not provide any
command for accessing zone information. Drive managed model devices will
be reported as BLK_ZONED_NONE.

The helper functions blk_queue_zoned_model and bdev_zoned_model return
the zoned limit and the functions blk_queue_is_zoned and bdev_is_zoned
return a boolean for callers to test if a block device is zoned.

The zoned attribute is also exported as a string to applications via
sysfs. BLK_ZONED_NONE shows as "none", BLK_ZONED_HA as "host-aware" and
BLK_ZONED_HM as "host-managed".
