Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver.  There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests:  BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

block uses ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA. Only SCSI uses
ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for ancient drivers with non-zero
unchecked_isa_dma. Nowadays drivers (and subsystems) use dma_mask
properly instead of ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD.

Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt says:

unchecked_isa_dma - 1=>only use bottom 16 MB of ram (ISA DMA addressing
                   restriction), 0=>can use full 32 bit (or better) DMA
                   address space

So block simply uses DMA_BIT_MASK(24) for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA for SCSI.

There are two reasons for doing this:

- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
  are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
  should contribute to the random pool in the first place.

- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

This adds /sys/block/<dev>/queue/add_random that will allow you to
switch off on a per-device basis. The default setting is on, so there
should be no functional changes from this patch.

bdops->set_capacity() is unnecessarily generic.  All that's required
is a simple one way notification to lower level driver telling it to
try to unlock native capacity.  There's no reason to pass in target
capacity or return the new capacity.  The former is always the
inherent native capacity and the latter can be handled via the usual
device resize / revalidation path.  In fact, the current API is always
used that way.

Replace ->set_capacity() with ->unlock_native_capacity() which take
only @disk and doesn't return anything.  IDE which is the only current
user of the API is converted accordingly.

This callback is required when RAM based devices are used as swap disks.
One such device is ramzswap which is used as compressed in-memory swap
disk.  For such devices, we need a callback as soon as a swap slot is no

blk_init_queue() allocates the request_queue structure and then
initializes it as needed (request_fn, elevator, etc).

Split initialization out to blk_init_allocated_queue_node.
Introduce blk_init_allocated_queue wrapper function to model existing
blk_init_queue and blk_init_queue_node interfaces.

Export elv_register_queue to allow a newly added elevator to be
registered with sysfs.  Export elv_unregister_queue for symmetry.

These changes allow DM to initialize a device's request_queue with more
precision.  In particular, DM no longer unconditionally initializes a
full request_queue (elevator et al).  It only does so for a
request-based DM device.

blkio + cfq was crashing even when two sequential readers were put in two
separate cgroups (group_isolation=0).

The reason being that cfqq can migrate across groups based on its being
sync-noidle or not, it can happen that at request insertion time, cfqq
belonged to one cfqg and at request dispatch time, it belonged to root
group. In this case request stats per cgroup can go wrong and it also runs
into BUG_ON().

This patch implements rq stashing away a cfq group pointer and not relying
on cfqq->cfqg pointer alone for rq stat accounting.

The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device
prior to putting metadata down.  However, not all devices return zeroed
blocks after a discard.  Some drives return stale data, potentially
containing old superblocks.  It is therefore important to know whether
discarded blocks are properly zeroed.

Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether
zeroes are returned after a discard operation.  Implement a block level
interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and
queried via a new block device ioctl.

this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is

prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation
was effectively impossible.  This makes it inappropriate for all but
the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block
command set.  Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership
of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver
and not the submitter as usual.

It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether
the queue supports discard operations or not.  blkdev_issue_discard now
allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing
for the common ATA and SCSI implementations.

The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply
checking for the request being a discard.

Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation
yet.

requests.

We limit the max discard request size in bytes to 32bit as that is the
limit for bio->bi_size.  This could be much larger if we had a way to pass
that information through the block layer.

prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation
was effectively impossible.  This makes it inappropriate for all but
the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block
command set.  Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership
of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver
and not the submitter as usual.

It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether
the queue supports discard operations or not.  blkdev_issue_discard now
allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing
for the common ATA and SCSI implementations.

The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply
checking for the request being a discard.

Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation
yet.

blk_ioctl_discard duplicates large amounts of code from blkdev_issue_discard,
the only difference between the two is that blkdev_issue_discard needs to
send a barrier discard request and blk_ioctl_discard a non-barrier one,
and blk_ioctl_discard needs to wait on the request.  To facilitates this
add a flags argument to blkdev_issue_discard to control both aspects of the
behaviour.  This will be very useful later on for using the waiting
funcitonality for other callers.

Based on an earlier patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>.

Implement blk_limits_io_opt() and make blk_queue_io_opt() a wrapper
around it. DM needs this to avoid poking at the queue_limits directly.

Test results here look good, and on big OLTP runs it has also shown
to significantly increase cycles attributed to the database and
cause a performance boost.
