The target SCSI passthrough backend is much better served with the low-level
blk_rq_append_bio construct then the helpers built on top of it, so export it.

Also use the opportunity to remove the pointless request_queue argument and

Timer context is not very useful for drivers to perform any meaningful abort
action from.  So instead of calling the driver from this useless context
defer it to a workqueue as soon as possible.

Note that while a delayed_work item would seem the right thing here I didn't
dare to use it due to the magic in blk_add_timer that pokes deep into timer
internals.  But maybe this encourages Tejun to add a sensible API for that to
the workqueue API and we'll all be fine in the end :)

Contains a major update from Keith Bush:

"This patch removes synchronizing the timeout work so that the timer can
 start a freeze on its own queue. The timer enters the queue, so timer
 context can only start a freeze, but not wait for frozen."

Since they lack requests to pin the request_queue active, synchronous
bio-based drivers may have in-flight integrity work from
bio_integrity_endio() that is not flushed by blk_freeze_queue().  Flush
that work to prevent races to free the queue and the final usage of the
blk_integrity profile.

This is temporary unless/until bio-based drivers start to generically
take a q_usage_counter reference while a bio is in-flight.

Allow pmem, and other synchronous/bio-based block drivers, to fallback
on a per-cpu reference count managed by the core for tracking queue
live/dead state.

The existing per-cpu reference count for the blk_mq case is promoted to
be used in all block i/o scenarios.  This involves initializing it by
default, waiting for it to drop to zero at exit, and holding a live
reference over the invocation of q->make_request_fn() in
generic_make_request().  The blk_mq code continues to take its own
reference per blk_mq request and retains the ability to freeze the
queue, but the check that the queue is frozen is moved to
generic_make_request().

This fixes crash signatures like the following:

blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
different policies.  Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.

This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
generic_make_request_checks().  blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
only function which tries to create missing blkg's.  The subsequent
policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
missing falls back to the root.

* blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg.  It uses blkg_lookup()
  instead of blkg_lookup_create().

* blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
  read locked and blkg already looked up.  Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
  throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.

* cfq is similarly updated.  cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
  cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().

This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
retries under memory pressure.  In addition, this provides a common
bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
performed.

Inside timeout handler, blk_mq_tag_to_rq() is called
to retrieve the request from one tag. This way is obviously
wrong because the request can be freed any time and some
fiedds of the request can't be trusted, then kernel oops
might be triggered[1].

Currently wrt. blk_mq_tag_to_rq(), the only special case is
that the flush request can share same tag with the request
cloned from, and the two requests can't be active at the same
time, so this patch fixes the above issue by updating tags->rqs[tag]
with the active request(either flush rq or the request cloned
from) of the tag.

Also blk_mq_tag_to_rq() gets much simplified with this patch.

Given blk_mq_tag_to_rq() is mainly for drivers and the caller must
make sure the request can't be freed, so in bt_for_each() this
helper is replaced with tags->rqs[tag].

Last patch makes plug work for multiple queue case. However it only
works for single disk case, because it assumes only one request in the
plug list. If a task is accessing multiple disks, eg MD/DM, the
assumption is wrong. Let blk_attempt_plug_merge() record request from
the same queue.

This patch supports to run one single flush machinery for
each blk-mq dispatch queue, so that:

- current init_request and exit_request callbacks can
cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of
initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed

- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue

In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync,
iodepth=64, numjobs=4, bs=4K), it is observed that througput gets
increased a lot over my test environment:
	- throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk
	- throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image

The multi virtqueue feature isn't merged to QEMU yet, and patches for
the feature can be found in below tree:

	git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/qemu.git  	v2.1.0-mq.4

And simply passing 'num_queues=4 vectors=5' should be enough to
enable multi queue(quad queue) feature for QEMU virtio-blk.

This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.

If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
throttled down.

The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
period has passed.

If a requeue event races with a timeout, we can get into the
situation where we attempt to complete a request from the
timeout handler when it's not start anymore. This causes a crash.
So have the timeout handler check that REQ_ATOM_STARTED is still
set on the request - if not, we ignore the event. If this happens,
the request has now been marked as complete. As a consequence, we
need to ensure to clear REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk_mq_start_request(),
as to maintain proper request state.

	Date:   Mon Feb 24 16:39:54 2014 +0100

	    block: Stop abusing rq->csd.list in blk-softirq

and the problem was immediately apparent. The patch states that
it is safe to reuse queuelist at completion time, since it is
no longer used. However, that is not true if a device is using
block enabled tagging. If that is the case, then the queuelist
is reused to keep track of busy tags. If a device also ended
up using softirq completions, we'd reuse ->queuelist for the
IPI handling while block tagging was still using it. Boom.

Fix this by adding a new ipi_list list head, and share the
memory used with the request hash table. The hash table is
never used after the request is moved to the dispatch list,
which happens long before any potential completion of the
request. Add a new request bit for this, so we don't have
cases that check rq->hash while it could potentially have
been reused for the IPI completion.

request_queue bypassing is used to suppress higher-level function of a
request_queue so that they can be switched, reconfigured and shut
down.  A request_queue does the followings while bypassing.

* bypasses elevator and io_cq association and queues requests directly
  to the FIFO dispatch queue.

* bypasses block cgroup request_list lookup and always uses the root
  request_list.

Once confirmed to be bypassing, specific elevator and block cgroup
policy implementations can assume that nothing is in flight for them
and perform various operations which would be dangerous otherwise.

Such confirmation is acheived by short-circuiting all new requests
directly to the dispatch queue and waiting for all the requests which
were issued before to finish.  Unfortunately, while the request
allocating and draining sides were properly handled, we forgot to
actually plug the request dispatch path.  Even after bypassing mode is
confirmed, if the attached driver tries to fetch a request and the
dispatch queue is empty, __elv_next_request() would invoke the current
elevator's elevator_dispatch_fn() callback.  As all in-flight requests
were drained, the elevator wouldn't contain any request but once
bypass is confirmed we don't even know whether the elevator is even
there.  It might be in the process of being switched and half torn
down.

Frank Mayhar reports that this actually happened while switching
elevators, leading to an oops.

Let's fix it by making __elv_next_request() avoid invoking the
elevator_dispatch_fn() callback if the queue is bypassing.  It already
avoids invoking the callback if the queue is dying.  As a dying queue
is guaranteed to be bypassing, we can simply replace blk_queue_dying()
check with blk_queue_bypass().

Linux currently has two models for block devices:

- The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
  request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
  functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
  management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.

- The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
  block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
  driver generally have to manage everything themselves.

With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
per device.

The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
that the shared approach solved.

This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.

blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:

- Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
  be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
  to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
  tags, to enable cache hot reuse.

- Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
  basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
  if a request happens to fail.

- Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
  submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
  desired location.

- Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
  to associate a request structure with some driver private
  command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
  and then any request handed to the driver will have the
  required size of memory associated with it.

- Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
  gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
  sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
  increases bandwidth.

For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
devices (as it was originally intended).

Switch elevator to use the new hashtable implementation. This reduces the
amount of generic unrelated code in the elevator.

This also removes the dymanic allocation of the hash table. The size of the table is
constant so there's no point in paying the price of an extra dereference when accessing
it.

This patch depends on d9b482c8 ("hashtable: introduce a small and naive
hashtable") which was merged in v3.6.

A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its
request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn
must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important
when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress.
As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in
parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after
scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but
before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.

QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is used to indicate that queuing new requests must
stop. After this flag has been set queue draining starts. However,
during the queue draining phase it is still safe to invoke the
queue's request_fn, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is a better name for this
flag.

blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility
test.  blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the
caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously.

elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls
elv_iosched_allow_merge().  elv_try_merge() is removed and the two
callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by
blk_try_merge().  While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return
bool.

This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any
behavior change.

This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from

Now block layer knows everything necessary to create and associate
icq's with requests.  Move ioc_create_icq() to blk-ioc.c and update
get_request() such that, if elevator_type->icq_size is set, requests
are automatically associated with their matching icq's before
elv_set_request().  io_context reference is also managed by block core
on request alloc/free.

* Only ioprio/cgroup changed handling remains from cfq_get_cic().
  Collapsed into cfq_set_request().

* This removes queue kicking on icq allocation failure (for now).  As
  icq allocation failure is rare and the only effect of queue kicking
  achieved was possibily accelerating queue processing, this change
  shouldn't be noticeable.

  There is a larger underlying problem.  Unlike request allocation,
  icq allocation is not guaranteed to succeed eventually after
  retries.  The number of icq is unbound and thus mempool can't be the
  solution either.  This effectively adds allocation dependency on
  memory free path and thus possibility of deadlock.

  This usually wouldn't happen because icq allocation is not a hot
  path and, even when the condition triggers, it's highly unlikely
  that none of the writeback workers already has icq.

  However, this is still possible especially if elevator is being
  switched under high memory pressure, so we better get it fixed.
  Probably the only solution is just bypassing elevator and appending
  to dispatch queue on any elevator allocation failure.

* Comment added to explain how icq's are managed and synchronized.

This completes cleanup of io_context interface.

With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to
blk-ioc too.  The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced
with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc
and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc.  The elevator
operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator
- in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's.

Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and
automatically performed on elevator switch and q release.

Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for
the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq
needs to be freed when the io_cq is released.  New field
io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose.  As both the new
field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the
q/ioc_node fields aren't, they are put into unions.

When called under queue_lock, current_io_context() triggers lockdep
warning if it hits allocation path.  This is because io_context
installation is protected by task_lock which is not IRQ safe, so it
triggers irq-unsafe-lock -> irq -> irq-safe-lock -> irq-unsafe-lock
deadlock warning.

Given the restriction, accessor + creator rolled into one doesn't work
too well.  Drop current_io_context() and let the users access
task->io_context directly inside queue_lock combined with explicit
creation using create_io_context().
