ae1b153962 block: reimplement FLUSH/FUA to support merge
The current FLUSH/FUA support has evolved from the implementation
which had to perform queue draining.  As such, sequencing is done
queue-wide one flush request after another.  However, with the
draining requirement gone, there's no reason to keep the queue-wide
sequential approach.

This patch reimplements FLUSH/FUA support such that each FLUSH/FUA
request is sequenced individually.  The actual FLUSH execution is
double buffered and whenever a request wants to execute one for either
PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues on the pending queue.  Once certain
conditions are met, a flush request is issued and on its completion
all pending requests proceed to the next sequence.

This allows arbitrary merging of different type of flushes.  How they
are merged can be primarily controlled and tuned by adjusting the
above said 'conditions' used to determine when to issue the next
flush.

This is inspired by Darrick's patches to merge multiple zero-data
flushes which helps workloads with highly concurrent fsync requests.

* As flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler, request fields
  used for flush share space with rq->rb_node.  rq->completion_data is
  moved out of the union.  This increases the request size by one
  pointer.

  As rq->elevator_private* are used only by the iosched too, it is
  possible to reduce the request size further.  However, to do that,
  we need to modify request allocation path such that iosched data is
  not allocated for flush requests.

* FLUSH/FUA processing happens on insertion now instead of dispatch.

- Comments updated as per Vivek and Mike.

143a87f4c9 block: improve flush bio completion
bio's for flush are completed twice - once during the data phase and
one more time after the whole sequence is complete.  The first
completion shouldn't notify completion to the issuer.

This was achieved by skipping all bio completion steps in
req_bio_endio() for the first completion; however, this has two
drawbacks.

* Error is not recorded in bio and must be tracked somewhere else.

* Partial completion is not supported.

Both don't cause problems for the current users; however, they make
further improvements difficult.  Change req_bio_endio() such that it
only skips the actual notification part for the first completion.  bio
completion is implemented with partial completions on mind anyway so
this is as simple as moving the REQ_FLUSH_SEQ conditional such that
only calling of bio_endio() is skipped.

414b4ff5ee block: add REQ_FLUSH_SEQ
rq == &q->flush_rq was used to determine whether a rq is part of a
flush sequence, which worked because all requests in a flush sequence
were sequenced using the single dedicated request.  This is about to
change, so introduce REQ_FLUSH_SEQ flag to distinguish flush sequence
requests.

This patch doesn't cause any behavior change.

72d4cd9f38 block: max hardware sectors limit wrapper
Implement blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() and make
blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() a wrapper around it.

DM needs this to avoid setting queue_limits' max_hw_sectors and
max_sectors directly.  dm_set_device_limits() now leverages
blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() logic to establish the appropriate
max_hw_sectors minimum (PAGE_SIZE).  Fixes issue where DM was
incorrectly setting max_sectors rather than max_hw_sectors (which
caused dm_merge_bvec()'s max_hw_sectors check to be ineffective).

e692cb668f block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits instead
When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.

There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.

The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

c7a841f3ac [SCSI] bsg: correct fault if queue object removed while dev_t open
This patch corrects an issue in bsg that results in a general protection
fault if an LLD is removed while an application is using an open file
handle to a bsg device, and the application issues an ioctl. The fault
occurs because the class_dev is NULL, having been cleared in
bsg_unregister_queue() when the driver was removed.  With this
patch, a check is made for the class_dev, and the application
will receive ENXIO if the related object is gone.

04a6b516cd blk-throttle: Correct the placement of smp_rmb()
o I was discussing what are the variable being updated without spin lock and
  why do we need barriers and Oleg pointed out that location of smp_rmb()
  should be between read of td->limits_changed and tg->limits_changed. This
  patch fixes it.

o Following is one possible sequence of events. Say cpu0 is executing
  throtl_update_blkio_group_read_bps() and cpu1 is executing
  throtl_process_limit_change().

 cpu0                                                cpu1

 tg->limits_changed = true;
 smp_mb__before_atomic_inc();
 atomic_inc(&td->limits_changed);

                                     if (!atomic_read(&td->limits_changed))
                                             return;

                                     if (tg->limits_changed)
                                             do_something;

 If cpu0 has updated tg->limits_changed and td->limits_changed, we want to
 make sure that if update to td->limits_changed is visible on cpu1, then
 update to tg->limits_changed should also be visible.

 Oleg pointed out to ensure that we need to insert an smp_rmb() between
 td->limits_changed read and tg->limits_changed read.

o I had erroneously put smp_rmb() before atomic_read(&td->limits_changed).
  This patch fixes it.

d1ae8ffdfa blk-throttle: Trim/adjust slice_end once a bio has been dispatched
o During some testing I did following and noticed throttling stops working.

        - Put a very low limit on a cgroup, say 1 byte per second.
        - Start some reads, this will set slice_end to a very high value.
        - Change the limit to higher value say 1MB/s
        - Now IO unthrottles and finishes as expected.
        - Try to do the read again but IO is not limited to 1MB/s as expected.

o What is happening.
        - Initially low value of limit sets slice_end to a very high value.
        - During updation of limit, slice_end is not being truncated.
        - Very high value of slice_end leads to keeping the existing slice
          valid for a very long time and new slice does not start.
        - tg_may_dispatch() is called in blk_throtle_bio(), and trim_slice()
          is not called in this path. So slice_start is some old value and
          practically we are able to do huge amount of IO.

o There are many ways it can be fixed. I have fixed it by trying to
  adjust/cleanup slice_end in trim_slice(). Generally we extend slices if bio
  is big and can't be dispatched in one slice. After dispatch of bio, readjust
  the slice_end to make sure we don't end up with huge values.

 - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,

 - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi

 - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been

e52eec13cd SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are
making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another
directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them.

This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option
that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way
the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option
on the command line.

The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set
the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing
config files.

Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes
care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code
look nicer.

v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only
handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems
and that seems to work.

b4627321e1 cfq-iosched: Fix a gcc 4.5 warning and put some comments
- Andi encountedred following warning with gcc 4.5

  linux/block/cfq-iosched.c: In function ‘cfq_dispatch_requests’:
  linux/block/cfq-iosched.c:2156:3: warning: array subscript is above array
  bounds

- Warning happens due to following code.

  slice = group_slice * count /
		max_t(unsigned, cfqg->busy_queues_avg[cfqd->serving_prio],
		cfq_group_busy_queues_wl(cfqd->serving_prio, cfqd, cfqg));

  gcc is complaining about cfqg->busy_queues_avg[] being indexed by CFQ
  prio classes (RT, BE and IDLE) while the array size is only 2.

- At run time, we never access cfqg->busy_queues_avg[IDLE] and return from
  function before this code hits.

- To fix warning increase the array size though it will remain unused. This
  patch also puts some comments to clarify some of the confusions.

- I have taken Jens's patch and modified it a bit.

- Compile tested with gcc 4.4 and boot tested. I don't have gcc 4.5
  running, Andi can you please test it with gcc 4.5 to make sure it
  worked.

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.

The detailed root cause is as follows.

Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.

1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
   is 0 and sda2's one is 1.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
   step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
   from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
   hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
   sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |         -1
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.

When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no
request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe
to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted
again.

6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

430c62fb29 elevator: fix oops on early call to elevator_change()
2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler
instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions.
This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between
those two calls. And since we already have this functionality
directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers
online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too.

But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state
before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator
kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops
like this:

3aad5d3ee4 blkio-throttle: Fix link failure failure on i386
o Randy Dunlap reported following linux-next failure. This patch fixes it.

on i386:

blk-throttle.c:(.text+0x1abb8): undefined reference to `__udivdi3'
blk-throttle.c:(.text+0x1b1dc): undefined reference to `__udivdi3'

o bytes_per_second interface is 64bit and I was continuing to do 64 bit
  division even on 32bit platform without help of special macros/functions
  hence the failure.

fe0714377e blkio: Recalculate the throttled bio dispatch time upon throttle limit change
o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and
  the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group.

o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling.
  Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount
  a disk can wait for a very long time.

o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if
  user increases the read limit later.

o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate
  the bio dispatch time according to new limits.

o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake
  up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some
  variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to
  make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of
  memory barrier code especially will help.

02977e4af7 blkio: Add root group to td->tg_list
o Currently all the dynamically allocated groups, except root grp is added
  to td->tg_list. This was not a problem so far but in next patch I will
  travel through td->tg_list to process any updates of limits on the group.
  If root group is not in tg_list, then root group's updates are not
  processed.

o It is better to root group also to tg_list instead of doing special
  processing for it during limit updates.

61014e96e6 blkio: deletion of a cgroup was causes oops
o Now a cgroup list of blkg elements can contain blkg from multiple policies.
  Before sending an unlink event, make sure blkg belongs to they policy. If
  policy does not own the blkg, do not send update for this blkg.

13f98250f5 blkio: Do not export throttle files if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING=n
Currently throttling related files were visible even if user had disabled
throttling using config options. It was switching off background throttling
of bio but not the cgroup files. This patch fixes it.

efb012b361 block: set the bounce_pfn to the actual DMA limit rather than to max memory
The bounce_pfn of the request queue in 64 bit systems is set to the
current max_low_pfn. Adding more memory later makes this incorrect.
Memory allocated beyond this boot time max_low_pfn appear to require
bounce buffers (bounce buffers are actually not allocated but used in
calculating segments that may result in "over max segments limit"
errors).

f281fb5fe5 block: prevent merges of discard and write requests
Add logic to prevent two I/O requests being merged if
only one of them is a discard.  Ditto secure discard.

Without this fix, it is possible for write requests
to transform into discard requests.  For example:

  Submit bio 1 to discard 8 sectors from sector n
  Submit bio 2 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 16
  Submit bio 3 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 8

Bio 1 becomes request 1.  Bio 2 becomes request 2.
Bio 3 is merged with request 2, and then subsequently
request 2 is merged with request 1 resulting in just
one I/O request which discards all 24 sectors.
