If you do not set sk_sndtimeo you will get -ERESTARTSYS if there is a
pending signal when you enter sendmsg, which we handle properly.
However if you set a timeout for your commands we'll set sk_sndtimeo to
that timeout, which means that sendmsg will start returning -EINTR
instead of -ERESTARTSYS.  Fix this by checking either cases and doing
the correct thing.

A user reported a regression with using the normal ioctl interface on
newer kernels.  This happens because I was setting the device size
before the device was actually connected, which caused us to error out
and close everything down.  This didn't happen on netlink because we
hold the device lock the whole time we're setting things up, but we
don't do that for the ioctl path.  This fixes the problem.

In testing we noticed that nbd would spew if you ran a fio job against
the raw device itself.  This is because fio calls a block device
specific ioctl, however the block layer will first pass this back to the
driver ioctl handler in case the driver wants to do something special.
Since the device was setup using netlink this caused us to spew every
time fio called this ioctl.  Since we don't have special handling, just
error out for any non-nbd specific ioctl's that come in.  This fixes the
spew.

This patch enables read IO from backing device.  For the feature, it
implements two IO read functions to transfer data from backing storage.

One is asynchronous IO function and other is synchronous one.

A reason I need synchrnous IO is due to partial write which need to
complete read IO before the overwriting partial data.

We can make the partial IO's case asynchronous, too but at the moment, I
don't feel adding more complexity to support such rare use cases so want
to go with simple.

Patch series "writeback incompressible pages to storage", v1.

zRam is useful for memory saving with compressible pages but sometime,
workload can be changed and system has lots of incompressible pages
which is very harmful for zram.

This patch supports writeback feature of zram so admin can set up a
block device and with it, zram can save the memory via writing out the
incompressile pages once it found it's incompressible pages (1/4 comp
ratio) instead of keeping the page in memory.

[1-3] is just clean up and [4-8] is step by step feature enablement.
[4-8] is logically not bisectable(ie, logical unit separation)
although I tried to compiled out without breaking but I think it would
be better to review.

This patch (of 9):

__zram_bvec_write has some of duplicated logic for zram meta data
handling of same_page|compressed_page.  This patch aims to clean it up
without behavior change.

Commit 6c6b6f28 ("loop: set physical block size to PAGE_SIZE")
caused mkfs.xfs to barf on ppc64 [1]. Always using PAGE_SIZE as the
physical block size still makes the most sense semantically, but let's
just lie and always set it to the same value as the logical block size
(same goes for io_min). In the future we might want to at least bump up
io_min to PAGE_SIZE but I'm sick of these stupid changes so let's play
it safe.

Careful analysis shows that this flag is not needed.

The RESCUER flag is only needed when a make_request_fn might:
 - allocate a bio from the bioset
 - submit it with generic_make_request() or similar
 - allocate another bio from the bioset

The second allocation can block until the first bio is processed, so
a rescuer is needed to ensure the first bio does get processed.  With
a rescuer it will only get processed when the make_request_fn completes.

In drbd, allocations from drbd_io_bio_set happen from drbd_new_req()
or w_restart_disk_io() which is only called to handle
RESTART_FROZEN_DISK_IO.

In former is called precisely once from the make_request_fn.
The later is never called by within the make_request_fn.

So there cannot be two allocations in the same call to the
make_request_fn, so a rescuer is not needed.

Allocations from drbd_md_io_bio_set are used for IO to the bitmap and
the activity log.  There are only accessed from worker threads and
workqueues, never directly from make_request_fn.
Again, the rescuer isn't needed.

When requesting a detach, we first suspend IO, and also inhibit meta-data IO
by means of drbd_md_get_buffer(), because we don't want to "fail" the disk
while there is IO in-flight: the transition into D_FAILED for detach purposes
may get misinterpreted as actual IO error in a confused endio function.

We wrap it all into wait_event(), to retry in case the drbd_req_state()
returns SS_IN_TRANSIENT_STATE, as it does for example during an ongoing
connection handshake.

In that example, the receiver thread may need to grab drbd_md_get_buffer()
during the handshake to make progress.  To avoid potential deadlock with
detach, detach needs to grab and release the meta data buffer inside of
that wait_event retry loop. To avoid lock inversion between
mutex_lock(&device->state_mutex) and drbd_md_get_buffer(device),
introduce a new enum chg_state_flag CS_INHIBIT_MD_IO, and move the
call to drbd_md_get_buffer() inside the state_mutex grabbed in
drbd_req_state().
