This patch changes blk_rq_map_user to accept a NULL user-space buffer
with a READ command if rq_map_data is not NULL. Thus a caller can pass
page frames to lk_rq_map_user to just set up a request and bios with
page frames propely. bio_uncopy_user (called via blk_rq_unmap_user)
doesn't copy data to user space with such request.

This patch introduces struct rq_map_data to enable bio_copy_use_iov()
use reserved pages.

Currently, bio_copy_user_iov allocates bounce pages but
drivers/scsi/sg.c wants to allocate pages by itself and use
them. struct rq_map_data can be used to pass allocated pages to
bio_copy_user_iov.

The current users of bio_copy_user_iov simply passes NULL (they don't
want to use pre-allocated pages).

This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
(bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
for completion on that specific CPU.

In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.

This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only
work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp
helper infrastructure.

When devices are stacked, one device's merge_bvec_fn may need to perform
the mapping and then call one or more functions for its underlying devices.

The following bio fields are used:
  bio->bi_sector
  bio->bi_bdev
  bio->bi_size
  bio->bi_rw  using bio_data_dir()

This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up.  (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

The only caller of bio_endio that does not pass the full bi_size
is end_that_request_first.  Also, no ->bi_end_io method is really
interested in bi_size being decremented.

So move the decrement and related code into ll_rw_blk and merge it
with order_bio_endio to form req_bio_endio which does endio functionality
specific to request completion.

As some ->bi_end_io methods do check bi_size of 0, we set it thus for
now, but that will go in the next patch.

This patch provides a new macro

KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>)

to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the
struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct.
Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary.

Example

struct test_slab {
	int a,b,c;
	struct list_head;
} __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC)

will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct
test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.  If it fails then we
panic.

256 entry pre-allocation.

There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need

scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side.

Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through
generic direct_io_worker for block device.

direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on
file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection,
extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases.  The end result is
that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O.

For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple
loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in
order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to
the block layer.  This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

The target mode support is mapping in bios using bio_map_user. The
current targets do not need their len to be aligned with a queue limit
so this check is causing some problems. Note: pointers passed into the
kernel are properly aligned by usersapace tgt code so the uaddr check
in bio_map_user is ok.

The major user, blk_bio_map_user checks for the len before mapping
so it is not affected by this patch.

And the semi-newly added user blk_rq_map_user_iov has been failing
out when the len is not aligned properly so maybe people have been
good and not sending misaligned lens or that path is not used very
often and this change will not be very dangerous. st and sg do not
check the length and we have not seen any problem reports from those
wider used paths so this patch should be fairly safe - for mm
and wider testing at least.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).
