Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two
into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch
several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the
actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in
just the core (not counting the various drivers).

Right now we do it at queueing time, which works alright for reads
(since they are usually sync), but not for async writes since we can
queue io a lot faster than we can complete it. This makes the vmstat
output look extremely bursty.

 This patch reimplements elevator switch.  This patch assumes generic
dispatch queue patchset is applied.

 * Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator
   private data set.
 * Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter
   iosched.  They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue.
   Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which
   have its REQ_ELVPRIV set.
 * Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have
   its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in
   q->rq->elvpriv.
 * If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data
   is not allocated for new requests.

 To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until
elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS.  New implementation is much simpler and main code
paths are less cluttered, IMHO.

struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle.  Update to
stamp_idle is always in sync with stamp and they are always the same.
Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking
same timestamp.  Suggest to remove it.

Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value.
Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address,
and then add zero to the content.

My patch in commit fa72b903 incorrectly
removed blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth.

The original resize implementation was incorrect in the following
points.

 * actual allocation size of tag_index was shorter than real_max_size,
   but assumed to be of the same size, possibly causing memory access
   beyond the allocated area.
 * bits in tag_map between max_deptn and real_max_depth were
   initialized to 1's, making the tags permanently reserved.

In an attempt to fix above two bugs, I had removed allocation optimization
in init_tag_map and real_max_size.  Tag map/index were allocated and freed
immediately during resize.

Unfortunately, I wasn't considering that tag map/index can be resized
dynamically with tags beyond new_depth active.  This led to accessing
freed area after shrinking tags and led to the following bug reporting
thread on linux-scsi.

   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112319898111885&w=2

To fix the problem, I've revived real_max_depth without allocation
optimization in init_tag_map, and Andrew Vasquez confirmed that the
problem was fixed.  As Jens is not going to be available for a week, he
asked me to make sure that this patch reaches you.

   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112325778530886&w=2

Also, a comment was added to make sure that real_max_size is needed for
dynamic shrinking.

get_io_context needlessly turned off interrupts and checked for racing io
context creations.  Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can
only be created while in process context of the current process.

Also, split the function in 2.  A light version, current_io_context does not
elevate the reference count specifically, but can be used when in process
context, because the process holds a reference itself.

In the case where the request is not able to be merged by the elevator, don't
retake the lock and retry the merge mechanism after allocating a new request.

Instead assume that the chance of a merge remains slim, and now that we've
done most of the work allocating a request we may as well just go with it.

Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the
block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking.

Lastly, in get_request_wait, do an initial get_request call before going into
the waitqueue.  This is reported to help efficiency.

Currently we cap request allocations at q->nr_requests, but we allow a
batching io context to allocate up to 32 more (default setting).  This
can flood the queue with request allocations, with only a few batching
processes.  The real fix would be to limit the number of batchers, but
as that isn't currently tracked, I suggest we just cap the maximum
number of allocated requests to eg 50% over the limit.

This was observed in real life, users typically see this as vmstat bo
numbers going off the wall with seconds of no queueing afterwards.
Behaviour this bursty is not beneficial.

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.

This memory barrier is not needed because the waitqueue will only get waiters
on it in the following situations:

rq->count has exceeded the threshold - however all manipulations of ->count
are performed under the runqueue lock, and so we will correctly pick up any
waiter.

Memory allocation for the request fails.  In this case, there is no additional
help provided by the memory barrier.  We are guaranteed to eventually wake up
waiters because the request allocation mempool guarantees that if the mem
allocation for a request fails, there must be some requests in flight.  They
will wake up waiters when they are retired.

blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth was used to optimize out unnecessary
allocations/frees on tag resize.  However, the whole thing was very broken -
tag_map was never allocated to real_max_depth resulting in access beyond the
end of the map, bits in [max_depth..real_max_depth] were set when initializing
a map and copied when resizing resulting in pre-occupied tags.

As the gain of the optimization is very small, well, almost nill, remove the
whole thing.
