Linus Walleij 304419d8a7 mmc: core: Allocate per-request data using the block layer core
The mmc_queue_req is a per-request state container the MMC core uses
to carry bounce buffers, pointers to asynchronous requests and so on.
Currently allocated as a static array of objects, then as a request
comes in, a mmc_queue_req is assigned to it, and used during the
lifetime of the request.

This is backwards compared to how other block layer drivers work:
they usally let the block core provide a per-request struct that get
allocated right beind the struct request, and which can be obtained
using the blk_mq_rq_to_pdu() helper. (The _mq_ infix in this function
name is misleading: it is used by both the old and the MQ block
layer.)

The per-request struct gets allocated to the size stored in the queue
variable .cmd_size initialized using the .init_rq_fn() and
cleaned up using .exit_rq_fn().

The block layer code makes the MMC core rely on this mechanism to
allocate the per-request mmc_queue_req state container.

Doing this make a lot of complicated queue handling go away. We only
need to keep the .qnct that keeps count of how many request are
currently being processed by the MMC layer. The MQ block layer will
replace also this once we transition to it.

Doing this refactoring is necessary to move the ioctl() operations
into custom block layer requests tagged with REQ_OP_DRV_[IN|OUT]
instead of the custom code using the BigMMCHostLock that we have
today: those require that per-request data be obtainable easily from
a request after creating a custom request with e.g.:

struct request *rq = blk_get_request(q, REQ_OP_DRV_IN, __GFP_RECLAIM);
struct mmc_queue_req *mq_rq = req_to_mq_rq(rq);

And this is not possible with the current construction, as the request
is not immediately assigned the per-request state container, but
instead it gets assigned when the request finally enters the MMC
queue, which is way too late for custom requests.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
