Current bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test within
__end_that_request_first() does not seem correct.
It checks bio->bi_idx against bio->bi_vcnt, but the subsequent code
uses idx (which is, bio->bi_idx + next_idx) as the array index into
bio_vec array. This means that the test really make sense only at
the first iteration of !(nr_bytes >=bio->bi_size) case (when next_idx
== zero). Fix this by replacing bio->bi_idx with idx.

Currently we look it up from ->ioprio, but ->ioprio can change if
either the process gets its IO priority changed explicitly, or if
cfq decides to temporarily boost it. So if we are unlucky, we can
end up attempting to remove a node from a different rbtree root than
where it was added.

Fix this by using ->org_ioprio as the prio_tree index, since that
will only change for explicit IO priority settings (not for a boost).
Additionally cache the rbtree root inside the cfqq, then we don't have
to add code to reinsert the cfqq in the prio_tree if IO priority changes.

cfq_prio_tree_lookup() should return the direct match, yet it always
returns zero. Fix that.

cfq_prio_tree_add() assumes that we don't get a direct match, while
it is very possible that we do. Using O_DIRECT, you can have different
cfqq with matching requests, since you don't have the page cache
to serialize things for you. Fix this bug by only adding the cfqq if
there isn't an existing match.

Very rarely under stress testing of dm, oopses are occuring as
something tampers with an old stack frame.  This has been traced back
to blk_abort_queue() leaving a timeout_list pointing to the stack.
The reason is that sometimes blk_abort_request() won't delete the
timer (if the request is marked as complete but before the timer has
been removed, a small race window).  Fix this by splicing back from
the ususally empty list to the q->timeout_list.

Impact: don't set GFP_DMA in q->bounce_gfp unnecessarily

All DMA address limits are expressed in terms of the last addressable
unit (byte or page) instead of one plus that.  However, when
determining bounce_gfp for 64bit machines in blk_queue_bounce_limit(),
it compares the specified limit against 0x100000000UL to determine
whether it's below 4G ending up falsely setting GFP_DMA in
q->bounce_gfp.

As DMA zone is very small on x86_64, this makes larger SG_IO transfers
very eager to trigger OOM killer.  Fix it.  While at it, rename the

Impact: allow ftrace-plugin blktrace to trace device-mapper devices

To trace a single partition:
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/enable

To trace the whole sda instead:
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/enable

Thus we also fix an issue reported by Ted, that ftrace-plugin blktrace
can't be used to trace device-mapper devices.

Now:

  # echo 1 > /sys/block/dm-0/trace/enable
  echo: write error: No such device or address
  # mount -t ext4 /dev/dm-0 /mnt
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/dm-0/trace/enable

Though one can specify '-d /dev/sda1' when using blktrace, it still
traces the whole sda.

To support per-partition tracing, when we start tracing, we initialize
bt->start_lba and bt->end_lba to the start and end sector of that
partition.

Note some actions are per device, thus we don't filter 0-sector events.

If we have processes that are working in close proximity to each
other on disk, we don't want to idle wait. Instead allow the close
process to issue a request, getting better aggregate bandwidth.
The anticipatory scheduler has similar checks, noop and deadline do
not need it since they don't care about process <-> io mappings.

The code for CFQ is a little more involved though, since we split
request queues into per-process contexts.

This fixes a performance problem with eg dump(8), since it uses
several processes in some silly attempt to speed IO up. Even if
dump(8) isn't really a valid case (it should be fixed by using
CLONE_IO), there are other cases where we see close processes
and where idling ends up hurting performance.

"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> reports that commit
b029195d introduced a regression
of about 50% with sequential threaded read workloads. The test
case is:

tiotest -k0 -k1 -k3 -f 80 -t 32

which starts 32 threads each reading a 80MB file. Twiddle the kick
queue logic so that we do start IO immediately, if it appears to be
a fully merged request. We can't really detect that, so just check
if the request is bigger than a page or not. The assumption is that
since single bio issues will first queue a single request with just
one page attached and then later do merges on that, if we already
have more than a page worth of data in the request, then the request
is most likely good to go.

Verified that this doesn't cause a regression with the test case that
commit b029195d was fixing. It does not,
we still see maximum sized requests for the queue-then-merge cases.

When CFQ is waiting for a new request from a process, currently it'll
immediately restart queuing when it sees such a request. This doesn't
work very well with streamed IO, since we then end up splitting IO
that would otherwise have been merged nicely. For a simple dd test,
this causes 10x as many requests to be issued as we should have.
Normally this goes unnoticed due to the low overhead of requests
at the device side, but some hardware is very sensitive to request
sizes and there it can cause big slow downs.

The IO scheduler core calls into the IO scheduler dispatch_request hook
to move requests from the IO scheduler and into the driver dispatch
list. It only does so when the dispatch list is empty. CFQ moves several
requests to the dispatch list, which can cause higher latencies if we
suddenly have to switch to some important sync IO. Change the logic to
move one request at the time instead.

This should almost be functionally equivalent to what we did before,
except that we now honor 'quantum' as the maximum queue depth at the
device side from any single cfqq. If there's just a single active
cfqq, we allow up to 4 times the normal quantum.

By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the
previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only
sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes
being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those.

Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync
request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically
for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this

Currently inherited from sg.c bsg will submit asynchronous request
 at the head-of-the-queue, (using "at_head" set in the call to
 blk_execute_rq_nowait()). This is bad in situation where the queues
 are full, requests will execute out of order, and can cause
 starvation of the first submitted requests.

The sg_io_v4->flags member is used and a bit is allocated to denote the
Q_AT_TAIL. Zero is to queue at_head as before, to be compatible with old
code at the write/read path. SG_IO code path behavior was changed so to
be the same as write/read behavior. SG_IO was very rarely used and breaking
compatibility with it is OK at this stage.

sg_io_hdr at sg.h also has a flags member and uses 3 bits from the first
nibble and one bit from the last nibble. Even though none of these bits
are supported by bsg, The second nibble is allocated for use by bsg. Just
