The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same
block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a
single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device
writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O.
This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The
blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block
drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to
efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc.

When a disk has large discard_granularity and small max_discard_sectors,
discards are not split with optimal alignment. In the limit case of
discard_granularity == max_discard_sectors, no request could be aligned
correctly, so in fact you might end up with no discarded logical blocks
at all.
Another example that helps showing the condition in the patch is with
discard_granularity == 64, max_discard_sectors == 128. A request that is
submitted for 256 sectors 2..257 will be split in two: 2..129, 130..257.
However, only 2 aligned blocks out of 3 are included in the request;
128..191 may be left intact and not discarded. With this patch, the
first request will be truncated to ensure good alignment of what's left,
and the split will be 2..127, 128..255, 256..257. The patch will also
take into account the discard_alignment.
At most one extra request will be introduced, because the first request
will be reduced by at most granularity-1 sectors, and granularity
must be less than max_discard_sectors. Subsequent requests will run
on round_down(max_discard_sectors, granularity) sectors, as in the
current code.

Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.
This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.
Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().

blk_set_stacking_limits is intended to allow stacking drivers to build
up the limits of the stacked device based on the underlying devices'
limits. But defaulting 'max_sectors' to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (1024)
doesn't allow the stacking driver to inherit a max_sectors larger than
1024 -- due to blk_stack_limits' use of min_not_zero.
It is now clear that this artificial limit is getting in the way so
change blk_set_stacking_limits's max_sectors to UINT_MAX (which allows
stacking drivers like dm-multipath to inherit 'max_sectors' from the
underlying paths).

Currently, request_queue has one request_list to allocate requests
from regardless of blkcg of the IO being issued. When the unified
request pool is used up, cfq proportional IO limits become meaningless
- whoever grabs the next request being freed wins the race regardless
of the configured weights.
This can be easily demonstrated by creating a blkio cgroup w/ very low
weight, put a program which can issue a lot of random direct IOs there
and running a sequential IO from a different cgroup. As soon as the
request pool is used up, the sequential IO bandwidth crashes.
This patch implements per-blkg request_list. Each blkg has its own
request_list and any IO allocates its request from the matching blkg
making blkcgs completely isolated in terms of request allocation.
* Root blkcg uses the request_list embedded in each request_queue,
which was renamed to @q->root_rl from @q->rq. While making blkcg rl
handling a bit harier, this enables avoiding most overhead for root
blkcg.
* Queue fullness is properly per request_list but bdi isn't blkcg
aware yet, so congestion state currently just follows the root
blkcg. As writeback isn't aware of blkcg yet, this works okay for
async congestion but readahead may get the wrong signals. It's
better than blkcg completely collapsing with shared request_list but
needs to be improved with future changes.
* After this change, each block cgroup gets a full request pool making
resource consumption of each cgroup higher. This makes allowing
non-root users to create cgroups less desirable; however, note that
allowing non-root users to directly manage cgroups is already
severely broken regardless of this patch - each block cgroup
consumes kernel memory and skews IO weight (IO weights are not
hierarchical).
v2: queue-sysfs.txt updated and patch description udpated as suggested
by Vivek.
v3: blk_get_rl() wasn't checking error return from
blkg_lookup_create() and may cause oops on lookup failure. Fix it
by falling back to root_rl on blkg lookup failures. This problem
was spotted by Rakesh Iyer <rni@google.com>.

Currently, there are two request allocation functions - get_request()
and get_request_wait(). The former tries to allocate a request once
and the latter keeps retrying until it succeeds. The latter wraps the
former and keeps retrying until allocation succeeds.
The combination of two functions deliver fallible non-wait allocation,
fallible wait allocation and unfailing wait allocation. However,
given that forward progress is guaranteed, fallible wait allocation
isn't all that useful and in fact nobody uses it.
This patch simplifies the interface as follows.
* get_request() is renamed to __get_request() and is only used by the
wrapper function.
* get_request_wait() is renamed to get_request(). It now takes
@gfp_mask and retries iff it contains %__GFP_WAIT.

The draining logic isn't correct in that blk_stop_queue() doesn't
prevent new requests from being queued - it just stops processing, so
nothing prevents new requests to be queued after the logic determines
that the queue is drained.
blk_cleanup_queue() now implements proper queue draining and these

mempool_create_node() currently assumes %GFP_KERNEL. Its only user,
blk_init_free_list(), is about to be updated to use other allocation
flags - add @gfp_mask argument to the function.

Currently, blkcg_activate_policy() depends on %GFP_ATOMIC allocation
from __blkg_lookup_create() for root blkcg creation. This could make
policy fail unnecessarily.
Make blkg_alloc() take @gfp_mask, __blkg_lookup_create() take an
optional @new_blkg for preallocated blkg, and blkcg_activate_policy()
preload radix tree and preallocate blkg with %GFP_KERNEL before trying
to create the root blkg.
v2: __blkg_lookup_create() was returning %NULL on blkg alloc failure
instead of ERR_PTR() value. Fixed.

There's no point in calling radix_tree_preload() if preloading doesn't
use more permissible GFP mask. Drop preloading from
__blkg_lookup_create().
While at it, drop sparse locking annotation which no longer applies.
v2: Vivek pointed out the odd preload usage. Instead of updating,
just drop it.

Sometimes, warnings about ioctls to partition happen often enough that they
form majority of the warnings in the kernel log and users complain. In some
cases warnings are about ioctls such as SG_IO so it's not good to get rid of
the warnings completely as they can ease debugging of userspace problems
when ioctl is refused.
Since I have seen warnings from lots of commands, including some proprietary
userspace applications, I don't think disallowing the ioctls for processes
with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will happen in the near future if ever. So lets just
stop warning for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO for which ioctl is allowed.

Commit 777eb1bf15 disconnects externally
supplied queue_lock before blk_drain_queue(). Switching the lock would
introduce lock unbalance because theads which have taken the external
lock might unlock the internal lock in the during the queue drain. This
patch mitigate this by disconnecting the lock after the queue draining
since queue draining makes a lot of request_queue users go away.
However, please note, this patch only makes the problem less likely to
happen. Anyone who still holds a ref might try to issue a new request on
a dead queue after the blk_cleanup_queue() finishes draining, the lock
unbalance might still happen in this case.

After hot-unplug a stressed disk, I found that rl->wait[] is not empty
while rl->count[] is empty and there are theads still sleeping on
get_request after the queue cleanup. With simple debug code, I found
there are exactly nr_sleep - nr_wakeup of theads in D state. So there
are missed wakeup.
$ dmesg | grep nr_sleep
[ 52.917115] ---> nr_sleep=1046, nr_wakeup=873, delta=173
$ vmstat 1
1 173 0 712640 24292 96172 0 0 0 0 419 757 0 0 0 100 0
To quote Tejun:
Ah, okay, freed_request() wakes up single waiter with the assumption
that after the wakeup there will at least be one successful allocation
which in turn will continue the wakeup chain until the wait list is
empty - ie. waiter wakeup is dependent on successful request
allocation happening after each wakeup. With queue marked dead, any
woken up waiter fails the allocation path, so the wakeup chaining is
lost and we're left with hung waiters. What we need is wake_up_all()
after drain completion.
This patch fixes the missed wakeup by waking up all the theads which
are sleeping on wait queue after queue drain.

When policy data allocation fails in the middle, blkg_alloc() invokes
blkg_free() to destroy the half constructed blkg. This ends up
calling pd_exit_fn() on policy datas which didn't go through
pd_init_fn(). Fix it by making blkg_alloc() call pd_init_fn()
immediately after each policy data allocation.

cfq may be built w/ or w/o blkcg support depending on
CONFIG_CFQ_CGROUP_IOSCHED. If blkcg support is disabled, most of
related code is ifdef'd out but some part is left dangling -
blkcg_policy_cfq is left zero-filled and blkcg_policy_[un]register()
calls are made on it.
Feeding zero filled policy to blkcg_policy_register() is incorrect and
triggers the following WARN_ON() if CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP &&
!CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

This patch fixes the problem by ensuring all blkcg support code is
inside CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.
* blkcg_policy_cfq declaration and blkg_to_cfqg() definition are moved
inside the first CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED block. __maybe_unused is
dropped from blkcg_policy_cfq decl.
* blkcg_deactivate_poilcy() invocation is moved inside ifdef. This
also makes the activation logic match cfq_init_queue().
* All blkcg_policy_[un]register() invocations are moved inside ifdef.

Merge block/IO core bits from Jens Axboe:
"This is a bit bigger on the core side than usual, but that is purely
because we decided to hold off on parts of Tejun's submission on 3.4
to give it a bit more time to simmer. As a consequence, it's seen a
long cycle in for-next.
It contains:
- Bug fix from Dan, wrong locking type.
- Relax splice gifting restriction from Eric.
- A ton of updates from Tejun, primarily for blkcg. This improves
the code a lot, making the API nicer and cleaner, and also includes
fixes for how we handle and tie policies and re-activate on
switches. The changes also include generic bug fixes.
- A simple fix from Vivek, along with a fix for doing proper delayed
allocation of the blkcg stats."
