The async_events field, intended to be used for drivers that support
asynchronous notifications about disk events (aka media change events),
isn't currently used by any driver, and apparently that has been that
way for a long time (if not forever). Remove it.

We currently have to call nth_page when iterating over pages inside a
bio_vec. Jens complained a while ago that this is fairly expensive.
To mitigate this we can check that that the actual page structures
are contiguous when adding them to the bio, and just do check pointer
arithmetics later on.

Instead of needing a special macro to iterate over all pages in
a bvec just do a second passs over the whole bio. This also matches
what we do on the release side. The release side helper is moved
up to where we need the get helper to clearly express the symmetry.

No caller uses bio_iov_iter_get_pages multiple times on a given bio,

In NVMe's error handler, follows the typical steps of tearing down
hardware for recovering controller:
1) stop blk_mq hw queues
2) stop the real hw queues
3) cancel in-flight requests via
blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter(tags, cancel_request, ...)
cancel_request():
mark the request as abort
blk_mq_complete_request(req);
4) destroy real hw queues
However, there may be race between #3 and #4, because blk_mq_complete_request()
may run q->mq_ops->complete(rq) remotelly and asynchronously, and
->complete(rq) may be run after #4.
This patch introduces blk_mq_complete_request_sync() for fixing the
above race.

The function bfq_bfqq_expire() invokes the function
__bfq_bfqq_expire(), and the latter may free the in-service bfq-queue.
If this happens, then no other instruction of bfq_bfqq_expire() must
be executed, or a use-after-free will occur.
Basing on the assumption that __bfq_bfqq_expire() invokes
bfq_put_queue() on the in-service bfq-queue exactly once, the queue is
assumed to be freed if its refcounter is equal to one right before
invoking __bfq_bfqq_expire().
But, since commit 9dee8b3b057e ("block, bfq: fix queue removal from
weights tree") this assumption is false. __bfq_bfqq_expire() may also
invoke bfq_weights_tree_remove() and, since commit 9dee8b3b057e
("block, bfq: fix queue removal from weights tree"), also
the latter function may invoke bfq_put_queue(). So __bfq_bfqq_expire()
may invoke bfq_put_queue() twice, and this is the actual case where
the in-service queue may happen to be freed.
To address this issue, this commit moves the check on the refcounter
of the queue right around the last bfq_put_queue() that may be invoked
on the queue.

Commit f6970f83ef79 ("block: don't check if adjacent bvecs in one bio can
be mergeable") changes bvec merge by only considering two bvecs from
different bios. However, if the former bio doesn't inlcude any io bvec,
then the following warning may be triggered:
warning: ‘bvec.bv_offset’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
In practice, it shouldn't be triggered.
Fixes it by adding check on former bio, the check shouldn't add any cost
given 'bio->bi_iter' can be hit in cache.

The steps argument is only read by the next function, so it can
be passed directly as an argument rather than via opal_dev.
Normally, the steps is an array on the stack, so the pointer stops
being valid then the function that set opal_dev.steps returns.
If opal_dev.steps was not set to NULL before return it would become
a dangling pointer. When the steps are passed as argument this
becomes easier to see and more difficult to misuse.

The implementation of IOC_OPAL_ENABLE_DISABLE_MBR handled the value
opal_mbr_data.enable_disable incorrectly: enable_disable is expected
to be one of OPAL_MBR_ENABLE(0) or OPAL_MBR_DISABLE(1). enable_disable
was passed directly to set_mbr_done and set_mbr_enable_disable where
is was interpreted as either OPAL_TRUE(1) or OPAL_FALSE(0). The end
result was that calling IOC_OPAL_ENABLE_DISABLE_MBR with OPAL_MBR_ENABLE
actually disabled the shadow MBR and vice versa.
This patch adds correct conversion from OPAL_MBR_DISABLE/ENABLE to
OPAL_FALSE/TRUE. The change affects existing programs using
IOC_OPAL_ENABLE_DISABLE_MBR but this is typically used only once when
setting up an Opal drive.

Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit
architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or
file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for
a long time. Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig
size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use
64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway,
so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either.
Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that
has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used.

blk_mq_try_issue_directly() can return BLK_STS*_RESOURCE for requests that
have been queued. If that happens when blk_mq_try_issue_directly() is called
by the dm-mpath driver then dm-mpath will try to resubmit a request that is
already queued and a kernel crash follows. Since it is nontrivial to fix
blk_mq_request_issue_directly(), revert the blk_mq_request_issue_directly()
changes that went into kernel v5.0.
This patch reverts the following commits:
* d6a51a97c0b2 ("blk-mq: replace and kill blk_mq_request_issue_directly") # v5.0.
* 5b7a6f128aad ("blk-mq: issue directly with bypass 'false' in blk_mq_sched_insert_requests") # v5.0.

Now block IO stack is basically ready for supporting multi-page bvec,
however it isn't enabled on passthrough IO.
One reason is that passthrough IO is dispatched to LLD directly and bio
split is bypassed, so the bio has to be built correctly for dispatch to
LLD from the beginning.
Implement multi-page support for passthrough IO by limitting each bvec
as block device's segment and applying all kinds of queue limit in
blk_add_pc_page(). Then we don't need to calculate segments any more for
passthrough IO any more, turns out code is simplified much.

bfq saves the state of a queue each time a merge occurs, to be
able to resume such a state when the queue is associated again
with its original process, on a split.
Unfortunately bfq does not save & restore also the weight of the
queue. If the weight is not correctly resumed when the queue is
recycled, then the weight of the recycled queue could differ
from the weight of the original queue.
This commit adds the missing save & resume of the weight.

The function "bfq_log_bfqq" prints the pid of the process
associated with the queue passed as input.
Unfortunately, if the queue is shared, then more than one process
is associated with the queue. The pid that gets printed in this
case is the pid of one of the associated processes.
Which process gets printed depends on the exact sequence of merge
events the queue underwent. So printing such a pid is rather
useless and above all is often rather confusing because it
reports a random pid between those of the associated processes.
This commit addresses this issue by printing SHARED instead of a pid
if the queue is shared.

If many bfq_queues belonging to the same group happen to be created
shortly after each other, then the processes associated with these
queues have typically a common goal. In particular, bursts of queue
creations are usually caused by services or applications that spawn
many parallel threads/processes. Examples are systemd during boot, or
git grep. If there are no other active queues, then, to help these
processes get their job done as soon as possible, the best thing to do
is to reach a high throughput. To this goal, it is usually better to
not grant either weight-raising or device idling to the queues
associated with these processes. And this is exactly what BFQ
currently does.
There is however a drawback: if, in contrast, some other queues are
already active, then the newly created queues must be protected from
the I/O flowing through the already existing queues. In this case, the
best thing to do is the opposite as in the other case: it is much
better to grant weight-raising and device idling to the newly-created
queues, if they deserve it. This commit addresses this issue by doing
so if there are already other active queues.
This change also helps eliminating false positives, which occur when
the newly-created queues do not belong to an actual large burst of
creations, but some background task (e.g., a service) happens to
trigger the creation of new queues in the middle, i.e., very close to
when the victim queues are created. These false positive may cause
total loss of control on process latencies.

Sync random I/O is likely to be confused with soft real-time I/O,
because it is characterized by limited throughput and apparently
isochronous arrival pattern. To avoid false positives, this commits
prevents bfq_queues containing only random (seeky) I/O from being
tagged as soft real-time.

To boost throughput with a set of processes doing interleaved I/O
(i.e., a set of processes whose individual I/O is random, but whose
merged cumulative I/O is sequential), BFQ merges the queues associated
with these processes, i.e., redirects the I/O of these processes into a
common, shared queue. In the shared queue, I/O requests are ordered by
their position on the medium, thus sequential I/O gets dispatched to
the device when the shared queue is served.
Queue merging costs execution time, because, to detect which queues to
merge, BFQ must maintain a list of the head I/O requests of active
queues, ordered by request positions. Measurements showed that this
costs about 10% of BFQ's total per-request processing time.
Request processing time becomes more and more critical as the speed of
the underlying storage device grows. Yet, fortunately, queue merging
is basically useless on the very devices that are so fast to make
request processing time critical. To reach a high throughput, these
devices must have many requests queued at the same time. But, in this
configuration, the internal scheduling algorithms of these devices do
also the job of queue merging: they reorder requests so as to obtain
as much as possible a sequential I/O pattern. As a consequence, with
processes doing interleaved I/O, the throughput reached by one such
device is likely to be the same, with and without queue merging.
In view of this fact, this commit disables queue merging, and all
related housekeeping, for non-rotational devices with internal
queueing. The total, single-lock-protected, per-request processing
time of BFQ drops to, e.g., 1.9 us on an Intel Core i7-2760QM@2.40GHz
(time measured with simple code instrumentation, and using the
throughput-sync.sh script of the S suite [1], in performance-profiling
mode). To put this result into context, the total,
single-lock-protected, per-request execution time of the lightest I/O
scheduler available in blk-mq, mq-deadline, is 0.7 us (mq-deadline is
~800 LOC, against ~10500 LOC for BFQ).
Disabling merging provides a further, remarkable benefit in terms of
throughput. Merging tends to make many workloads artificially more
uneven, mainly because of shared queues remaining non empty for
incomparably more time than normal queues. So, if, e.g., one of the
queues in a set of merged queues has a higher weight than a normal
queue, then the shared queue may inherit such a high weight and, by
staying almost always active, may force BFQ to perform I/O plugging
most of the time. This evidently makes it harder for BFQ to let the
device reach a high throughput.
As a practical example of this problem, and of the benefits of this
commit, we measured again the throughput in the nasty scenario
considered in previous commit messages: dbench test (in the Phoronix
suite), with 6 clients, on a filesystem with journaling, and with the
journaling daemon enjoying a higher weight than normal processes. With
this commit, the throughput grows from ~150 MB/s to ~200 MB/s on a
PLEXTOR PX-256M5 SSD. This is the same peak throughput reached by any
of the other I/O schedulers. As such, this is also likely to be the
maximum possible throughput reachable with this workload on this
device, because I/O is mostly random, and the other schedulers
basically just pass I/O requests to the drive as fast as possible.

The processes associated with a bfq_queue, say Q, may happen to
generate their cumulative I/O at a lower rate than the rate at which
the device could serve the same I/O. This is rather probable, e.g., if
only one process is associated with Q and the device is an SSD. It
results in Q becoming often empty while in service. If BFQ is not
allowed to switch to another queue when Q becomes empty, then, during
the service of Q, there will be frequent "service holes", i.e., time
intervals during which Q gets empty and the device can only consume
the I/O already queued in its hardware queues. This easily causes
considerable losses of throughput.
To counter this problem, BFQ implements a request injection mechanism,
which tries to fill the above service holes with I/O requests taken
from other bfq_queues. The hard part in this mechanism is finding the
right amount of I/O to inject, so as to both boost throughput and not
break Q's bandwidth and latency guarantees. To this goal, the current
version of this mechanism measures the bandwidth enjoyed by Q while it
is being served, and tries to inject the maximum possible amount of
extra service that does not cause Q's bandwidth to decrease too
much.
This solution has an important shortcoming. For bandwidth measurements
to be stable and reliable, Q must remain in service for a much longer
time than that needed to serve a single I/O request. Unfortunately,
this does not hold with many workloads. This commit addresses this
issue by changing the way the amount of injection allowed is
dynamically computed. It tunes injection as a function of the service
times of single I/O requests of Q, instead of Q's
bandwidth. Single-request service times are evidently meaningful even
if Q gets very few I/O requests completed while it is in service.
As a testbed for this new solution, we measured the throughput reached
by BFQ for one of the nastiest workloads and configurations for this
scheduler: the workload generated by the dbench test (in the Phoronix
suite), with 6 clients, on a filesystem with journaling, and with the
journaling daemon enjoying a higher weight than normal processes.
With this commit, the throughput grows from ~100 MB/s to ~150 MB/s on
a PLEXTOR PX-256M5.
