from the plug merging code.  I/O scheduler merging is not wired up yet

are the only user for now.

We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw
128K requests at the device level.  Turns out it is read-ahead capping
the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting.  This
doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they
should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the
underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command.

This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages.  This is the soft max IO
size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here.
Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size,
and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the
device side.  The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the
application asks for a huge read.  With this patch, the kernel behaves
like the application expects.

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.

For blk-mq, ->nr_requests does track queue depth, at least at init
time. But for the older queue paths, it's simply a soft setting.
On top of that, it's generally larger than the hardware setting
on purpose, to allow backup of requests for merging.

Fill a hole in struct request with a 'queue_depth' member, that
drivers can call to more closely inform the block layer of the
real queue depth.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Commit 4f258a46 ("sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests")
had the unfortunate side-effect of removing an implicit clamp to
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS for REQ_TYPE_FS requests in the block layer
code. This caused problems for some SMR drives.

Debugging this issue revealed a few problems with the existing
infrastructure since the block layer didn't know how to deal with
device-imposed limits, only limits set by the I/O controller.

 - Introduce a new queue limit, max_dev_sectors, which is used by the
   ULD to signal the maximum sectors for a REQ_TYPE_FS request.

 - Ensure that max_dev_sectors is correctly stacked and taken into
   account when overriding max_sectors through sysfs.

 - Rework sd_read_block_limits() so it saves the max_xfer and opt_xfer
   values for later processing.

 - In sd_revalidate() set the queue's max_dev_sectors based on the
   MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value in the Block Limits VPD. If this value
   is not reported, fall back to a cap based on the CDB TRANSFER LENGTH
   field size.

 - In sd_revalidate(), use OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH from the Block Limits
   VPD--if reported and sane--to signal the preferred device transfer
   size for FS requests. Otherwise use BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

 - blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() is no longer used and can be removed.

Linux 3.19 commit 69c953c8 ("lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n")
caused blk_stack_limits() to not properly stack queue_limits for stacked

Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching
blk_stack_limits() over to using it.

DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level
queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits
using blk_stack_limits().  In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt)
blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0.  With commit
69c953c8, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of
the underlying devices' io_opt.

was not necessary but now blk_throtl_exit() takes up queue lock by
default and needs queue lock to be available.

In fact elevator_exit() code also has similar requirement just that it
is less stringent in the sense that elevator_exit() is called only if
elevator is initialized.

Two problems have been noticed because of ambiguity about spin lock
status.

      - If a driver calls blk_alloc_queue() and then soon calls
        blk_cleanup_queue() almost immediately, (because some other
	driver structure allocation failed or some other error happened)
	then blk_throtl_exit() will run into issues as queue lock is not
	initialized. Loop driver ran into this issue recently and I
	noticed error paths in md driver too. Similar error paths should
	exist in other drivers too.

      - If some driver provided external spin lock and zapped the lock
        before blk_cleanup_queue(), then it can lead to issues.

So this patch initializes the default queue lock at queue allocation time.

block throttling code is one of the users of queue lock and it is
initialized at the queue allocation time, so it makes sense to
initialize ->queue_lock also to internal lock. A driver can overide that
lock later. This will take care of the issue where a driver does not have
to worry about initializing the queue lock to default before calling
blk_cleanup_queue()
