5acb3cc2c2 blktrace: Fix potential deadlock between delete & sysfs ops
The lockdep code had reported the following unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(s_active#228);
                               lock(&bdev->bd_mutex/1);
                               lock(s_active#228);
  lock(&bdev->bd_mutex);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

The deadlock may happen when one task (CPU1) is trying to delete a
partition in a block device and another task (CPU0) is accessing
tracing sysfs file (e.g. /sys/block/dm-1/trace/act_mask) in that
partition.

The s_active isn't an actual lock. It is a reference count (kn->count)
on the sysfs (kernfs) file. Removal of a sysfs file, however, require
a wait until all the references are gone. The reference count is
treated like a rwsem using lockdep instrumentation code.

The fact that a thread is in the sysfs callback method or in the
ioctl call means there is a reference to the opended sysfs or device
file. That should prevent the underlying block structure from being
removed.

Instead of using bd_mutex in the block_device structure, a new
blk_trace_mutex is now added to the request_queue structure to protect
access to the blk_trace structure.

157f377beb block: directly insert blk-mq request from blk_insert_cloned_request()
A NULL pointer crash was reported for the case of having the BFQ IO
scheduler attached to the underlying blk-mq paths of a DM multipath
device.  The crash occured in blk_mq_sched_insert_request()'s call to
e->type->ops.mq.insert_requests().

Paolo Valente correctly summarized why the crash occured with:
"the call chain (dm_mq_queue_rq -> map_request -> setup_clone ->
blk_rq_prep_clone) creates a cloned request without invoking
e->type->ops.mq.prepare_request for the target elevator e.  The cloned
request is therefore not initialized for the scheduler, but it is
however inserted into the scheduler by blk_mq_sched_insert_request."

All said, a request-based DM multipath device's IO scheduler should be
the only one used -- when the original requests are issued to the
underlying paths as cloned requests they are inserted directly in the
underlying dispatch queue(s) rather than through an additional elevator.

But commit bd166ef18 ("blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO
schedulers") switched blk_insert_cloned_request() from using
blk_mq_insert_request() to blk_mq_sched_insert_request().  Which
incorrectly added elevator machinery into a call chain that isn't
supposed to have any.

To fix this introduce a blk-mq private blk_mq_request_bypass_insert()
that blk_insert_cloned_request() calls to insert the request without
involving any elevator that may be attached to the cloned request's
request_queue.

74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

03a07c92a9 block: return on congested block device
A new bio operation flag REQ_NOWAIT is introduced to identify bio's
orignating from iocb with IOCB_NOWAIT. This flag indicates
to return immediately if a request cannot be made instead
of retrying.

Stacked devices such as md (the ones with make_request_fn hooks)
currently are not supported because it may block for housekeeping.
For example, an md can have a part of the device suspended.
For this reason, only request based devices are supported.
In the future, this feature will be expanded to stacked devices
by teaching them how to handle the REQ_NOWAIT flags.

93b27e7290 blk: use non-rescuing bioset for q->bio_split.
A rescuing bioset is only useful if there might be bios from
that same bioset on the bio_list_on_stack queue at a time
when bio_alloc_bioset() is called.  This never applies to
q->bio_split.

Allocations from q->bio_split are only ever made from
blk_queue_split() which is only ever called early in each of
various make_request_fn()s.  The original bio (call this A)
is then passed to generic_make_request() and is placed on
the bio_list_on_stack queue, and the bio that was allocated
from q->bio_split (B) is processed.

The processing of this may cause other bios to be passed to
generic_make_request() or may even cause the bio B itself to
be passed, possible after some prefix has been split off
(using some other bioset).

generic_make_request() now guarantees that all of these bios
(B and dependants) will be fully processed before the tail
of the original bio A gets handled.  None of these early bios
can possible trigger an allocation from the original
q->bio_split as they are either too small to require
splitting or (more likely) are destined for a different queue.

The next time that the original q->bio_split might be used
by this thread is when A is processed again, as it might
still be too big to handle directly.  By this time there
cannot be any other bios allocated from q->bio_split in the
generic_make_request() queue.  So no rescuing will ever be
needed.

need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other
bios.  This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool,
btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by
target_core_iblock.c.

biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as
their usage was recently audited and revised to never
risk deadlock.

It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets
can end up being the non-rescued version.

011067b056 blk: replace bioset_create_nobvec() with a flags arg to bioset_create()
"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow
easy extensibility.
bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in
flags passed to __bioset_create().

To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().

Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need
the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().

af67c31fba blk: remove bio_set arg from blk_queue_split()
blk_queue_split() is always called with the last arg being q->bio_split,
where 'q' is the first arg.

Also blk_queue_split() sometimes uses the passed-in 'bs' and sometimes uses
q->bio_split.

This is inconsistent and unnecessary.  Remove the last arg and always use
q->bio_split inside blk_queue_split()

2a842acab1 block: introduce new block status code type
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Originally, I tied debugfs registration/unregistration together with
sysfs. There's no reason to do this, and it's getting in the way of
letting schedulers define their own debugfs attributes. Instead, tie the
debugfs registration to the lifetime of the structures themselves.

The saner lifetimes mean we can also get rid of the extra mq directory
and move everything one level up. I.e., nvme0n1/mq/hctx0/tags is now
just nvme0n1/hctx0/tags.

21c6e939a9 blk-mq: unify hctx delay_work and run_work
The only difference between ->run_work and ->delay_work, is that
the latter is used to defer running a queue. This is done by
marking the queue stopped, and scheduling ->delay_work to run
sometime in the future. While the queue is stopped, direct runs
or runs through ->run_work will not run the queue.

If we combine the handlers, then we need to handle two things:

1) If a delayed/stopped run is scheduled, then we should not run
   the queue before that has been completed.
2) If a queue is delayed/stopped, the handler needs to restart
   the queue. Normally a run of a queue with the stopped bit set
   would be a no-op.

Case 1 is handled by modifying a currently pending queue run
to the deadline set by the caller of blk_mq_delay_queue().
Subsequent attempts to queue a queue run will find the work
item already pending, and direct runs will see a stopped queue
as before.

Case 2 is handled by adding a new bit, BLK_MQ_S_START_ON_RUN,
that tells the work handler that it should clear a stopped
queue and run the handler.

e869b5462f blk-mq: Unregister debugfs attributes earlier
We currently call blk_mq_free_queue() from blk_cleanup_queue()
before we unregister the debugfs attributes for that queue in
blk_release_queue(). This leaves a window open during which
accessing most of the mq debugfs attributes would cause a

running the queue, which we should not do after the queue has
entered the "dead" state. Fix both cases by unregistering the
debugfs attributes before freeing queue resources starts.

fbbaf700e7 block: trace completion of all bios.
Currently only dm and md/raid5 bios trigger
trace_block_bio_complete().  Now that we have bio_chain() and
bio_inc_remaining(), it is not possible, in general, for a driver to
know when the bio is really complete.  Only bio_endio() knows that.

So move the trace_block_bio_complete() call to bio_endio().

Now trace_block_bio_complete() pairs with trace_block_bio_queue().
Any bio for which a 'queue' event is traced, will subsequently
generate a 'complete' event.

There are a few cases where completion tracing is not wanted.
1/ If blk_update_request() has already generated a completion
   trace event at the 'request' level, there is no point generating
   one at the bio level too.  In this case the bi_sector and bi_size
   will have changed, so the bio level event would be wrong

2/ If the bio hasn't actually been queued yet, but is being aborted
   early, then a trace event could be confusing.  Some filesystems
   call bio_endio() but do not want tracing.

3/ The bio_integrity code interposes itself by replacing bi_end_io,
   then restoring it and calling bio_endio() again.  This would produce
   two identical trace events if left like that.

To handle these, we introduce a flag BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION and only
produce the trace event when this is set.
We address point 1 above by clearing the flag in blk_update_request().
We address point 2 above by only setting the flag when
generic_make_request() is called.
We address point 3 above by clearing the flag after generating a
completion event.

When bio_split() is used on a bio, particularly in blk_queue_split(),
there is an extra complication.  A new bio is split off the front, and
may be handle directly without going through generic_make_request().
The old bio, which has been advanced, is passed to
generic_make_request(), so it will trigger a trace event a second
time.
Probably the best result when a split happens is to see a single
'queue' event for the whole bio, then multiple 'complete' events - one
for each component.  To achieve this was can:
- copy the BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION flag to the new bio in bio_split()
- avoid generating a 'queue' event if BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION is already set.
This way, the split-off bio won't create a queue event, the original
won't either even if it re-submitted to generic_make_request(),
but both will produce completion events, each for their own range.

So if generic_make_request() is called (which generates a QUEUED
event), then bi_endio() will create a single COMPLETE event for each
range that the bio is split into, unless the driver has explicitly
requested it not to.

d3cfb2a0ac block: block new I/O just after queue is set as dying
Before commit 780db2071a(blk-mq: decouble blk-mq freezing
from generic bypassing), the dying flag is checked before
entering queue, and Tejun converts the checking into .mq_freeze_depth,
and assumes the counter is increased just after dying flag
is set. Unfortunately we doesn't do that in blk_set_queue_dying().

This patch calls blk_freeze_queue_start() in blk_set_queue_dying(),
so that we can block new I/O coming once the queue is set as dying.

Given blk_set_queue_dying() is always called in remove path
of block device, and queue will be cleaned up later, we don't
need to worry about undoing the counter.

34dbad5d26 blk-stat: convert to callback-based statistics reporting
Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the
statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree
users:

1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of
   statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every
   window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows,
   wbt doesn't see every I/O.
2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending
   on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also
   unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid
   polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the
   previous full window.

This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users
register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of
the statistics from the window during which the callback was active.
Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both
currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further
subdivide based on request size.

The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu
stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the
I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified
considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the
statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics.

wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem
mentioned above is fixed.

For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous
window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling
heuristic to use.

Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue,
this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those,
we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

f5fe1b5190 blk: Ensure users for current->bio_list can see the full list.
Commit 79bd99596b ("blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()")
changed current->bio_list so that it did not contain *all* of the
queued bios, but only those submitted by the currently running
make_request_fn.

There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios,
and others that check if the list is empty.  These are no longer
correct.

So redefine current->bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which
contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both
lists.

79bd99596b blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()
To avoid recursion on the kernel stack when stacked block devices
are in use, generic_make_request() will, when called recursively,
queue new requests for later handling.  They will be handled when the
make_request_fn for the current bio completes.

If any bios are submitted by a make_request_fn, these will ultimately
be handled seqeuntially.  If the handling of one of those generates
further requests, they will be added to the end of the queue.

This strict first-in-first-out behaviour can lead to deadlocks in
various ways, normally because a request might need to wait for a
previous request to the same device to complete.  This can happen when
they share a mempool, and can happen due to interdependencies
particular to the device.  Both md and dm have examples where this happens.

These deadlocks can be erradicated by more selective ordering of bios.
Specifically by handling them in depth-first order.  That is: when the
handling of one bio generates one or more further bios, they are
handled immediately after the parent, before any siblings of the
parent.  That way, when generic_make_request() calls make_request_fn
for some particular device, we can be certain that all previously
submited requests for that device have been completely handled and are
not waiting for anything in the queue of requests maintained in
generic_make_request().

An easy way to achieve this would be to use a last-in-first-out stack
instead of a queue.  However this will change the order of consecutive
bios submitted by a make_request_fn, which could have unexpected consequences.
Instead we take a slightly more complex approach.
A fresh queue is created for each call to a make_request_fn.  After it completes,
any bios for a different device are placed on the front of the main queue, followed
by any bios for the same device, followed by all bios that were already on
the queue before the make_request_fn was called.
This provides the depth-first approach without reordering bios on the same level.

This, by itself, it not enough to remove all deadlocks.  It just makes
it possible for drivers to take the extra step required themselves.

To avoid deadlocks, drivers must never risk waiting for a request
after submitting one to generic_make_request.  This includes never
allocing from a mempool twice in the one call to a make_request_fn.

A common pattern in drivers is to call bio_split() in a loop, handling
the first part and then looping around to possibly split the next part.
Instead, a driver that finds it needs to split a bio should queue
(with generic_make_request) the second part, handle the first part,
and then return.  The new code in generic_make_request will ensure the
requests to underlying bios are processed first, then the second bio
that was split off.  If it splits again, the same process happens.  In
each case one bio will be completely handled before the next one is attempted.

With this is place, it should be possible to disable the
punt_bios_to_recover() recovery thread for many block devices, and
eventually it may be possible to remove it completely.

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()".

165a5e22fa block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()
Commit 6cd18e711d "block: destroy bdi before blockdev is
unregistered." moved bdi unregistration (at that time through
bdi_destroy()) from blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() because
it needs to happen before blk_unregister_region() call in del_gendisk()
for MD. SCSI though will free up the device number from sd_remove()
called through a maze of callbacks from device_del() in
__scsi_remove_device() before blk_cleanup_queue() and thus similar races
as described in 6cd18e711d can happen for SCSI as well as reported by
Omar [1].

Moving bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk() works for MD and fixes the
problem for SCSI since del_gendisk() gets called from sd_remove() before
freeing the device number.

This also makes device_add_disk() (calling bdi_register_owner()) more
symmetric with del_gendisk().

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

are the only user for now.

Note that for now we don't support limiting the size of each discard range,

e4d750c977 block: free merged request in the caller
If we end up doing a request-to-request merge when we have completed
a bio-to-request merge, we free the request from deep down in that
path. For blk-mq-sched, the merge path has to hold the appropriate
lock, but we don't need it for freeing the request. And in fact
holding the lock is problematic, since we are now calling the
mq sched put_rq_private() hook with the lock held. Other call paths
do not hold this lock.

Fix this inconsistency by ensuring that the caller frees a merged
request. Then we can do it outside of the lock, making it both more
efficient and fixing the blk-mq-sched problem of invoking parts of
the scheduler with an unknown lock state.

 "I wish that was the case. We've pretty much agreed that we'll want to

  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

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.

  EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2368848 at
                  logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 95
  EXT4-fs (dm-1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

Due to the following fallthrough introduced with
commit 2d253440b5 ("block: Define zoned block device operations"),
generic_make_request_checks() would accept a REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME bio only
if the block device supports "write same" *and* is a zoned one:

  switch (bio_op(bio)) {
  [...]
  case REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME:
        if (!bdev_write_same(bio->bi_bdev))
                goto not_supported;
  case REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT:
  case REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET:
                if (!bdev_is_zoned(bio->bi_bdev))
                        goto not_supported;
                break;
  [...]
  }

Thus, although the bio setup as done by __blkdev_issue_write_same() from
commit e73c23ff73 ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout")
would succeed, its actual submission would not, resulting in the
EOPNOTSUPP == 95.

Fix this by removing the fallthrough which, due to the lack of an explicit
comment, seems to be unintended anyway.

a6f0788ec2 block: add support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES
This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of
LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use
either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes.
The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command,
but in the future, this should also help with improving the way
zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in
sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one
write zeroes operation by the device.

778889d841 block: apply blk_partition_remap to REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET
If a ZBC device is partitioned and operations are performed on the partition
the zone information is rebased to the partition, however the zone reset
is not mapped from the partition to device as are other operations.

This causes the API (report zones / reset zone) to be unbalanced in this
regard. Checking for the zone reset op code explicitly will balance the
API.

0a6219a95f block: deal with stale req count of plug list
In both legacy and mq path, req count of plug list is computed
before allocating request, so the number can be stale when falling
back to slept allocation, also the new introduced wbt can sleep
too.

This patch deals with the case by checking if plug list becomes
empty, and fixes the KASAN report of 'BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds'
which is introduced by Shaohua's patches of dispatching big request.

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.

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.

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.
