Jan Engelhardt reports a strange oops with an invalid ->sense_buffer
pointer in scsi_init_cmd_errh() with the blk-mq code.
The sense_buffer pointer should have been initialized by the call to
scsi_init_request() from blk_mq_init_rq_map(), but there seems to be
some non-repeatable memory corruptor.
This patch makes sure we initialize the whole struct request allocation
(and the associated 'struct scsi_cmnd' for the SCSI case) to zero, by
using __GFP_ZERO in the allocation. The old code initialized a couple
of individual fields, leaving the rest undefined (although many of them
are then initialized in later phases, like blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() etc.
It's not entirely clear why this matters, but it's the rigth thing to do
regardless, and with 4.0 imminent this is the defensive "let's just make
sure everything is initialized properly" patch.

blk-mq is using preempt_disable/enable in order to ensure that the
queue runners are placed on the right CPU. This does not work with
the RT patches, because __blk_mq_run_hw_queue takes a non-raw
spinlock with the preemption-disabled region. If there is contention
on the lock, this violates the rules for preemption-disabled regions.
While this should be easily fixable within the RT patches just by doing
migrate_disable/enable, we can do better and document _why_ this
particular region runs with disabled preemption. After the previous
patch, it is trivial to switch it to get/put_cpu; the RT patches then
can change it to get_cpu_light, which lets virtio-blk run under RT
kernels.

q->mq_usage_counter is a percpu_ref which is killed and drained when
the queue is frozen. On a CPU hotplug event, blk_mq_queue_reinit()
which involves freezing the queue is invoked on all existing queues.
Because percpu_ref killing and draining involve a RCU grace period,
doing the above on one queue after another may take a long time if
there are many queues on the system.
This patch splits out initiation of freezing and waiting for its
completion, and updates blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() so that the
queues are frozen in parallel instead of one after another. Note that
freezing and unfreezing are moved from blk_mq_queue_reinit() to
blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify().

Drivers can now tell blk-mq if they take advantage of the deferred
issue through 'last' or not. If they do, don't do queue-direct
for sync IO. This is a preparation patch for the nvme conversion.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
Since we have the notion of a 'last' request in a chain, we can use
this to have the hardware optimize the issuing of requests. Add
a list_head parameter to queue_rq that the driver can use to
temporarily store hw commands for issue when 'last' is true. If we
are doing a chain of requests, pass in a NULL list for the first
request to force issue of that immediately, then batch the remainder
for deferred issue until the last request has been sent.
Instead of adding yet another argument to the hot ->queue_rq path,
encapsulate the passed arguments in a blk_mq_queue_data structure.
This is passed as a constant, and has been tested as faster than
passing 4 (or even 3) args through ->queue_rq. Update drivers for
the new ->queue_rq() prototype. There are no functional changes
in this patch for drivers - if they don't use the passed in list,
then they will just queue requests individually like before.

blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.
Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take above ten seconds when
scsi-mq is used.

This is also the reason why request_queues start in bypass mode which
is ended on blk_register_queue() as shutting down a fully functional
queue also involves a RCU grace period and the queues for non-existent
SCSI devices never reach registration.
blk-mq basically needs to do the same thing - start the mq in a
degraded mode which is faster to shut down and then make it fully
functional only after the queue reaches registration. percpu_ref
recently grew facilities to force atomic operation until explicitly
switched to percpu mode, which can be used for this purpose. This
patch makes blk-mq initialize q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode and
switch it to percpu mode only once blk_register_queue() is reached.
Note that this issue was previously worked around by 0a30288da1
("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during
probe") for v3.17. The temp fix was reverted in preparation of adding
persistent atomic mode to percpu_ref by 9eca80461a ("Revert "blk-mq,

With the recent addition of percpu_ref_reinit(), percpu_ref now can be
used as a persistent switch which can be turned on and off repeatedly
where turning off maps to killing the ref and waiting for it to drain;
however, there currently isn't a way to initialize a percpu_ref in its
off (killed and drained) state, which can be inconvenient for certain
persistent switch use cases.
Similarly, percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic/percpu() allow dynamic
selection of operation mode; however, currently a newly initialized
percpu_ref is always in percpu mode making it impossible to avoid the
latency overhead of switching to atomic mode.
This patch adds @flags to percpu_ref_init() and implements the
following flags.
* PERCPU_REF_INIT_ATOMIC : start ref in atomic mode
* PERCPU_REF_INIT_DEAD : start ref killed and drained
These flags should be able to serve the above two use cases.

This is to receive 0a30288da1 ("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a
kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe") which implements
__percpu_ref_kill_expedited() to work around SCSI blk-mq stall. The
commit reverted and patches to implement proper fix will be added.

blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.
Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take more than ten seconds
when scsi-mq is used.
This will be properly fixed by implementing a mechanism to keep
q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode till genhd registration; however,
that involves rather big updates to percpu_ref which is difficult to
apply late in the devel cycle (v3.17-rc6 at the moment). As a
stop-gap measure till the proper fix can be implemented in the next
cycle, this patch introduces __percpu_ref_kill_expedited() and makes
blk_mq_freeze_queue() use it. This is heavy-handed but should work
for testing the experimental SCSI blk-mq implementation.

Moved blk_mq_rq_timed_out() definition to the private blk-mq.h header.

It's not uncommon for crash dump kernels to be limited to 128MB or
something low in that area. This is normally not a problem for
devices as we don't use that much memory, but for some shared SCSI
setups with huge queue depths, it can potentially fill most of
memory with tons of request allocations. blk-mq does scale back
when it fails to allocate memory, but it scales back just enough
so that blk-mq succeeds. This could still leave the system with
not enough memory to make any real progress.
Check if we are in a kdump environment and limit the hardware
queues and tag depth.

This patch removes two unnecessary blk_clear_rq_complete(),
the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE flag is cleared inside blk_mq_start_request(),
so:
- The blk_clear_rq_complete() in blk_flush_restore_request()
needn't because the request will be freed later, and clearing
it here may open a small race window with timeout.
- The blk_clear_rq_complete() in blk_mq_requeue_request() isn't
necessary too, even though REQ_ATOM_STARTED is cleared in
__blk_mq_requeue_request(), in theory it still may cause a small
race window with timeout since the two clear_bit() may be
reordered.

Allow blk-mq to pass an argument to the timeout handler to indicate
if we're timing out a reserved or regular command. For many drivers
those need to be handled different.
