 print_req_error: I/O error, dev nvme0n1, sector 847167488

Decoding the assembly, the request claims to have 0xffff segments,
while nvme counts two. This turns out to be because we don't check
for a data carrying request on the mq scheduler path, and since
blk_phys_contig_segment() returns true for a non-data request,
we decrement the initial segment count of 0 and end up with
0xffff in the unsigned short.

There are a few issues here:

1) We should initialize the segment count for a discard to 1.
2) The discard merging is currently using the data limits for
   segments and sectors.

Fix this up by having attempt_merge() correctly identify the
request, and by initializing the segment count correctly
for discards.

This can only be triggered with mq-deadline on discard capable
devices right now, which isn't a common configuration.

b4b6cb6135 Revert "block: blk-merge: try to make front segments in full size"
This reverts commit a2d37968d7.

If max segment size isn't 512-aligned, this patch won't work well.

Also once multipage bvec is enabled, adjacent bvecs won't be physically
contiguous if page is added via bio_add_page(), so we don't need this
kind of complicated logic.

a2d37968d7 block: blk-merge: try to make front segments in full size
When merging one bvec into segment, if the bvec is too big
to merge, current policy is to move the whole bvec into another
new segment.

This patchset changes the policy into trying to maximize size of
front segments, that means in above situation, part of bvec
is merged into current segment, and the remainder is put
into next segment.

This patch prepares for support multipage bvec because
it can be quite common to see this case and we should try
to make front segments in full size.

6a501bf080 blk-merge: compute bio->bi_seg_front_size efficiently
It is enough to check and compute bio->bi_seg_front_size just
after the 1st segment is found, but current code checks that
for each bvec, which is inefficient.

This patch follows the way in  __blk_recalc_rq_segments()
for computing bio->bi_seg_front_size, and it is more efficient
and code becomes more readable too.

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

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.

58c94cc19e block: don't check for BIO_MAX_PAGES in blk_bio_segment_split()
blk_bio_segment_split() makes sure bios have no more than
BIO_MAX_PAGES entries in the bi_io_vec.
This was done because bio_clone_bioset() (when given a
mempool bioset) could not handle larger io_vecs.

No driver uses bio_clone_bioset() any more, they all
use bio_clone_fast() if anything, and bio_clone_fast()
doesn't clone the bi_io_vec.

The main user of of bio_clone_bioset() at this level
is bounce.c, and bouncing now happens before blk_bio_segment_split(),
so that is not of concern.

So remove the big helpful comment and the code.

a8821f3f32 block: Improvements to bounce-buffer handling
Since commit 23688bf4f8 ("block: ensure to split after potentially
bouncing a bio") blk_queue_bounce() is called *before*
blk_queue_split().
This means that:
 1/ the comments blk_queue_split() about bounce buffers are
    irrelevant, and
 2/ a very large bio (more than BIO_MAX_PAGES) will no longer be
    split before it arrives at blk_queue_bounce(), leading to the
    possibility that bio_clone_bioset() will fail and a NULL
    will be dereferenced.

Separately, blk_queue_bounce() shouldn't use fs_bio_set as the bio
being copied could be from the same set, and this could lead to a
deadlock.

So:
 - allocate 2 private biosets for blk_queue_bounce, one for
   splitting enormous bios and one for cloning bios.
 - add code to split a bio that exceeds BIO_MAX_PAGES.
 - Fix up the comments in blk_queue_split()

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.

b973cb7e89 blk-merge: return the merged request
When we attempt to merge request-to-request, we return a 0/1 if we
ended up merging or not. Change that to return the pointer to the
request that we freed. We will use this to move the freeing of
that request out of the merge logic, so that callers can drop
locks before freeing the request.

There should be no functional changes in this patch.

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.

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.

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.

This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for

4d70dca4ea block: make sure a big bio is split into at most 256 bvecs
After arbitrary bio size was introduced, the incoming bio may
be very big. We have to split the bio into small bios so that
each holds at most BIO_MAX_PAGES bvecs for safety reason, such
as bio_clone().

72ef799b3f block: do not merge requests without consulting with io scheduler
Before merging a bio into an existing request, io scheduler is called to
get its approval first. However, the requests that come from a plug
flush may get merged by block layer without consulting with io
scheduler.

In case of CFQ, this can cause fairness problems. For instance, if a
request gets merged into a low weight cgroup's request, high weight cgroup
now will depend on low weight cgroup to get scheduled. If high weigt cgroup
needs that io request to complete before submitting more requests, then it
will also lose its timeslice.

Following script demonstrates the problem. Group g1 has a low weight, g2
and g3 have equal high weights but g2's requests are adjacent to g1's
requests so they are subject to merging. Due to these merges, g2 gets
poor disk time allocation.

578270bfbd block: fix segment split
Inside blk_bio_segment_split(), previous bvec pointer(bvprvp)
always points to the iterator local variable, which is obviously
wrong, so fix it by pointing to the local variable of 'bvprv'.

Fixes: 5014c311baa2b(block: fix bogus compiler warnings in blk-merge.c)

6ac45aeb6b block: avoid to merge splitted bio
The splitted bio has been already too fat to merge, so mark it
as NOMERGE.

bdced438ac block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting
The number of bio->bi_phys_segments is always obtained
during bio splitting, so it is natural to setup it
just after bio splitting, then we can avoid to compute
nr_segment again during merge.

52cc6eead9 block: blk-merge: fast-clone bio when splitting rw bios
biovecs has become immutable since v3.13, so it isn't necessary
to allocate biovecs for the new cloned bios, then we can save
one extra biovecs allocation/copy, and the allocation is often
not fixed-length and a bit more expensive.

For example, if the 'max_sectors_kb' of null blk's queue is set
as 16(32 sectors) via sysfs just for making more splits, this patch
can increase throught about ~70% in the sequential read test over
null_blk(direct io, bs: 1M).

This fixes a performance regression introduced by commit 54efd50bfd,
and allows us to take full advantage of the fact that we have immutable
bio_vecs. Hand applied, as it rejected violently with commit
5014c311ba.
