SCSI restarts its queue in scsi_end_request() automatically, so we don't
need to handle this case in blk-mq.
Especailly any request won't be dequeued in this case, we needn't to
worry about IO hang caused by restart vs. dispatch.

Now restart is used in the following cases, and TAG_SHARED is for
SCSI only.
1) .get_budget() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if resource in target/host level isn't satisfied, this SCSI device
will be added in shost->starved_list, and the whole queue will be rerun
(via SCSI's built-in RESTART) in scsi_end_request() after any request
initiated from this host/targe is completed. Forget to mention, host level
resource can't be an issue for blk-mq at all.
- the same is true if resource in the queue level isn't satisfied.
- if there isn't outstanding request on this queue, then SCSI's RESTART
can't work(blk-mq's can't work too), and the queue will be run after
SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY, and finally all starved sdevs will be handled by SCSI's
RESTART when this request is finished
2) scsi_dispatch_cmd() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if there isn't onprogressing request on this queue, the queue
will be run after SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY
- otherwise, SCSI's RESTART covers the rerun.
3) blk_mq_get_driver_tag() failed
- BLK_MQ_S_TAG_WAITING covers the cross-queue RESTART for driver
allocation.
In one word, SCSI's built-in RESTART is enough to cover the queue
rerun, and we don't need to pay special attention to TAG_SHARED wrt. restart.
In my test on scsi_debug(8 luns), this patch improves IOPS by 20% ~ 30% when
running I/O on these 8 luns concurrently.
Aslo Roman Pen reported the current RESTART is very expensive especialy
when there are lots of LUNs attached in one host, such as in his
test, RESTART causes half of IOPS be cut.

SCSI devices use host-wide tagset, and the shared driver tag space is
often quite big. However, there is also a queue depth for each lun(
.cmd_per_lun), which is often small, for example, on both lpfc and
qla2xxx, .cmd_per_lun is just 3.
So lots of requests may stay in sw queue, and we always flush all
belonging to same hw queue and dispatch them all to driver.
Unfortunately it is easy to cause queue busy because of the small
.cmd_per_lun. Once these requests are flushed out, they have to stay in
hctx->dispatch, and no bio merge can happen on these requests, and
sequential IO performance is harmed.
This patch introduces blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx for dequeuing a request
from a sw queue, so that we can dispatch them in scheduler's way. We can
then avoid dequeueing too many requests from sw queue, since we don't
flush ->dispatch completely.
This patch improves dispatching from sw queue by using the .get_budget
and .put_budget callbacks.

For SCSI devices, there is often a per-request-queue depth, which needs
to be respected before queuing one request.
Currently blk-mq always dequeues the request first, then calls
.queue_rq() to dispatch the request to lld. One obvious issue with this
approach is that I/O merging may not be successful, because when the
per-request-queue depth can't be respected, .queue_rq() has to return
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, and then this request has to stay in hctx->dispatch
list. This means it never gets a chance to be merged with other IO.
This patch introduces .get_budget and .put_budget callback in blk_mq_ops,
then we can try to get reserved budget first before dequeuing request.
If the budget for queueing I/O can't be satisfied, we don't need to
dequeue request at all. Hence the request can be left in the IO
scheduler queue, for more merging opportunities.

The warning is a false positive, caused by the fact that all
wait_for_completion()s in submit_bio_wait() are waiting with the same
lock class.
However, some bios have nothing to do with others, for example in the case
of loop devices, there's no direct connection between the bios of an upper
device and the bios of a lower device(=loop device).
The safest way to assign different lock classes to different devices is
to do it for each gendisk. In other words, this patch assigns a
lockdep_map per gendisk and uses it when initializing completion in
submit_bio_wait().

sd_config_write_same() ignores ->max_ws_blocks == 0 and resets it to
permit trying WRITE SAME on older SCSI devices, unless ->no_write_same
is set. Because REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES is implemented in terms of WRITE
SAME, blkdev_issue_zeroout() may fail with -EREMOTEIO:
$ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg
fallocate: fallocate failed: Remote I/O error
$ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK
$ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK
The following calls succeed because sd_done() sets ->no_write_same in
response to a sense that would become BLK_STS_TARGET/-EREMOTEIO, causing
__blkdev_issue_zeroout() to fall back to generating ZERO_PAGE bios.
This means blkdev_issue_zeroout() must cope with WRITE ZEROES failing
and fall back to manually zeroing, unless BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK is
specified. For BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK case, return -EOPNOTSUPP if
sd_done() has just set ->no_write_same thus indicating lack of offload
support.

to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:
----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()
// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

When we're getting a domain token, if we fail to get a token on our
first attempt, we put the current hardware queue on a wait queue and
then try again just in case a token was freed after our initial attempt
but before we got on the wait queue. If this second attempt succeeds, we
currently leave the hardware queue on the wait queue. Usually this is
okay; we'll just run the hardware queue one extra time when another
token is freed. However, if the hardware queue doesn't have any other
requests waiting, then when it it gets the extra wakeup, it won't have
anything to free and therefore won't wake up any other hardware queues.
If tokens are limited, then we won't make forward progress and the
device will hang.

A null pointer dereference can occur when blkcg is removed manually
with writeback IOs inflight. This is caused by the following case:
Writeback kworker submit the bio and set bio->bi_cg_private to tg
in blk_throtl_assoc_bio.
Then we remove the block cgroup manually, the blkg and tg would be
freed if there is no request inflight.
When the submitted bio come back, blk_throtl_bio_endio() fetch the tg
which was already freed.
Fix this by increasing the refcount of blkg in funcion
blk_throtl_assoc_bio() so that the blkg will not be freed until the
bio_endio called.

The commit "block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues in burst
exit" introduced the decrement of burst_size on the removal of a
bfq_queue from the burst list. Unfortunately, this decrement can
happen to be performed even when burst size is already equal to 0,
because of unbalanced decrements. A description follows of the cause
of these unbalanced decrements, namely a wrong assumption, and of the
way how this wrong assumption leads to unbalanced decrements.
The wrong assumption is that a bfq_queue can exit only if the process
associated with the bfq_queue has exited. This is false, because a
bfq_queue, say Q, may exit also as a consequence of a merge with
another bfq_queue. In this case, Q exits because the I/O of its
associated process has been redirected to another bfq_queue.
The decrement unbalance occurs because Q may then be re-created after
a split, and added back to the current burst list, *without*
incrementing burst_size. burst_size is not incremented because Q is
not a new bfq_queue added to the burst list, but a bfq_queue only
temporarily removed from the list, and, before the commit "bfq-sq,
bfq-mq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exit", burst_size was
not decremented when Q was removed.
This commit addresses this issue by just checking whether the exiting
bfq_queue is a merged bfq_queue, and, in that case, not decrementing
burst_size. Unfortunately, this still leaves room for unbalanced
decrements, in the following rarer case: on a split, the bfq_queue
happens to be inserted into a different burst list than that it was
removed from when merged. If this happens, the number of elements in
the new burst list becomes higher than burst_size (by one). When the
bfq_queue then exits, it is of course not in a merged state any
longer, thus burst_size is decremented, which results in an unbalanced
decrement. To handle this sporadic, unlucky case in a simple way,
this commit also checks that burst_size is larger than 0 before
decrementing it.
Finally, this commit removes an useless, extra check: the check that
the bfq_queue is sync, performed before checking whether the bfq_queue
is in the burst list. This extra check is redundant, because only sync
bfq_queues can be inserted into the burst list.

Similarly to CFQ, BFQ has its write-throttling heuristics, and it
is better not to combine them with further write-throttling
heuristics of a different nature.
So this commit disables write-back throttling for a device if BFQ
is used as I/O scheduler for that device.

mempool_destroy() already checks for a NULL value being passed in, this
eliminates duplicate checks.
This was caught by running make coccicheck M=block/ on linus' tree on
commit 77ede3a014a32746002f7889211f0cecf4803163 (current head as of this
patch).

For memory ordering guarantees on stores, we need to ensure that
these two bits share the same byte of storage in the unsigned
long. Add a comment as to why, and a BUILD_BUG_ON() to ensure that
we don't violate this requirement.

Attempt to untangle the ordering in blk-mq. The patch introducing the
single smp_mb__before_atomic() is obviously broken in that it doesn't
clearly specify a pairing barrier and an obtained guarantee.
The comment is further misleading in that it hints that the
deadline store and the COMPLETE store also need to be ordered, but
AFAICT there is no such dependency. However what does appear to be
important is the clear happening _after_ the store, and that worked by
pure accident.
This clarifies blk_mq_start_request() -- we should not get there with
STARTING set -- this simplifies the code and makes the barrier usage
sane (the old code could be read to allow not having _any_ atomic after
the barrier, in which case the barrier hasn't got anything to order). We
then also introduce the missing pairing barrier for it.
Also down-grade the barrier to smp_wmb(), this is cheaper for
PowerPC/ARM and doesn't cost anything extra on x86.
And it documents the STARTING vs COMPLETE ordering. Although I've not
been entirely successful in reverse engineering the blk-mq state
machine so there might still be more funnies around timeout vs
requeue.
If I got anything wrong, feel free to educate me by adding comments to
clarify things ;-)

When under memory-pressure it is possible that the mempool which backs
the 'struct request_queue' will make use of up to BLKDEV_MIN_RQ count
emergency buffers - in case it can't get a regular allocation. These
buffers are preallocated and once they are also used, they are
re-supplied with old finished requests from the same request_queue (see
mempool_free()).
The bug is, when re-supplying the emergency pool, the old requests are
not again ran through the callback mempool_t->alloc(), and thus also not
through the callback bsg_init_rq(). Thus we skip initialization, and
while the sense-buffer still should be good, scsi_request->cmd might
have become to be an invalid pointer in the meantime. When the request
is initialized in bsg.c, and the user's CDB is larger than BLK_MAX_CDB,
bsg will replace it with a custom allocated buffer, which is freed when
the user's command is finished, thus it dangles afterwards. When next a
command is sent by the user that has a smaller/similar CDB as
BLK_MAX_CDB, bsg will assume that scsi_request->cmd is backed by
scsi_request->__cmd, will not make a custom allocation, and write into
undefined memory.
Fix this by splitting bsg_init_rq() into two functions:
- bsg_init_rq() is changed to only do the allocation of the
sense-buffer, which is used to back the bsg job's reply buffer. This
pointer should never change during the lifetime of a scsi_request, so
it doesn't need re-initialization.
- bsg_initialize_rq() is a new function that makes use of
'struct request_queue's initialize_rq_fn callback (which was
introduced in v4.12). This is always called before the request is
given out via blk_get_request(). This function does the remaining
initialization that was previously done in bsg_init_rq(), and will
also do it when the request is taken from the emergency-pool of the
backing mempool.

In blk_mq_debugfs_register(), I remembered to set up the per-hctx sched
directories if a default scheduler was already configured by
blk_mq_sched_init() from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(), but I didn't do
the same for the device-wide sched directory. Fix it.

There is a case which will lead to io stall. The case is described as
follows.
/test1
|-subtest1
/test2
|-subtest2
And subtest1 and subtest2 each has 32 queued bios already.
Now upgrade to max. In throtl_upgrade_state, it will try to dispatch
bios as follows:
1) tg=subtest1, do nothing;
2) tg=test1, transfer 32 queued bios from subtest1 to test1; no pending
left, no need to schedule next dispatch;
3) tg=subtest2, do nothing;
4) tg=test2, transfer 32 queued bios from subtest2 to test2; no pending
left, no need to schedule next dispatch;
5) tg=/, transfer 8 queued bios from test1 to /, 8 queued bios from
test2 to /, 8 queued bios from test1 to /, and 8 queued bios from test2
to /; note that test1 and test2 each still has 16 queued bios left;
6) tg=/, try to schedule next dispatch, but since disptime is now
(update in tg_update_disptime, wait=0), pending timer is not scheduled
in fact;
7) In throtl_upgrade_state it totally dispatches 32 queued bios and with
32 left. test1 and test2 each has 16 queued bios;
8) throtl_pending_timer_fn sees the left over bios, but could do
nothing, because throtl_select_dispatch returns 0, and test1/test2 has
no pending tg.
The blktrace shows the following:
8,32 0 0 2.539007641 0 m N throtl upgrade to max
8,32 0 0 2.539072267 0 m N throtl /test2 dispatch nr_queued=16 read=0 write=16
8,32 7 0 2.539077142 0 m N throtl /test1 dispatch nr_queued=16 read=0 write=16
So force schedule dispatch if there are pending children.
