Pull core block layer changes from Jens Axboe:
"This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18. Apart from the new
and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes
and cleanups.
- blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph.
- Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph. We pass it through the
->queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request
bits. The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed
REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used.
- blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng.
- Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei. Now we
have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the
code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq.
- Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott.
- Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun.
- Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes.
- Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues
where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing. From Joe
Lawrence.
- Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm
devices from Junichi Nomura. This allows creating clone bio sets
without preallocating a lot of memory.
- Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and
hardware queues from me.
- Limit memory consumption for blk-mq devices for crash dump
scenarios and drivers that use crazy high depths (certain SCSI
shared tag setups). We now just use a single queue and limited
depth for that"

This patch supports to run one single flush machinery for
each blk-mq dispatch queue, so that:
- current init_request and exit_request callbacks can
cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of
initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed
- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue
In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync,
iodepth=64, numjobs=4, bs=4K), it is observed that througput gets
increased a lot over my test environment:
- throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk
- throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image
The multi virtqueue feature isn't merged to QEMU yet, and patches for
the feature can be found in below tree:
git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/qemu.git v2.1.0-mq.4
And simply passing 'num_queues=4 vectors=5' should be enough to
enable multi queue(quad queue) feature for QEMU virtio-blk.

blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze. percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period. This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time. One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.
Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs. This means that SCSI probing may take above ten seconds when
scsi-mq is used.

This is also the reason why request_queues start in bypass mode which
is ended on blk_register_queue() as shutting down a fully functional
queue also involves a RCU grace period and the queues for non-existent
SCSI devices never reach registration.
blk-mq basically needs to do the same thing - start the mq in a
degraded mode which is faster to shut down and then make it fully
functional only after the queue reaches registration. percpu_ref
recently grew facilities to force atomic operation until explicitly
switched to percpu mode, which can be used for this purpose. This
patch makes blk-mq initialize q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode and
switch it to percpu mode only once blk_register_queue() is reached.
Note that this issue was previously worked around by 0a30288da1ae
("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during
probe") for v3.17. The temp fix was reverted in preparation of adding
persistent atomic mode to percpu_ref by 9eca80461a45 ("Revert "blk-mq,
percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe"").
This patch and the prerequisite percpu_ref changes will be merged
during v3.18 devel cycle.

Don't do a kmalloc from timer to handle timeouts, chances are we could be
under heavy load or similar and thus just miss out on the timeouts.
Fortunately it is very easy to just iterate over all in use tags, and doing
this properly actually cleans up the blk_mq_busy_iter API as well, and
prepares us for the next patch by passing a reserved argument to the
iterator.

We currently pass in the hardware queue, and get the tags from there.
But from scsi-mq, with a shared tag space, it's a lot more convenient
to pass in the blk_mq_tags instead as the hardware queue isn't always
directly available. So instead of having to re-map to a given
hardware queue from rq->mq_ctx, just pass in the tags structure.

Currently blk-mq registers all the hardware queues in sysfs,
regardless of whether it uses them (e.g. they have CPU mappings)
or not. The unused hardware queues lack the cpux/ directories,
and the other sysfs entries (like active, pending, etc) are all
zeroes.
Change this so that sysfs correctly reflects the current mappings
of the hardware queues.

If devices are not SG starved, we waste a lot of time potentially
collapsing SG segments. Enough that 1.5% of the CPU time goes
to this, at only 400K IOPS. Add a queue flag, QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE,
which just returns the number of vectors in a bio instead of looping
over all segments and checking for collapsible ones.
Add a BLK_MQ_F_SG_MERGE flag so that drivers can opt-in on the sg
merging, if they so desire.

Right now we export two ways of completing a request:
1) blk_mq_complete_request(). This uses an IPI (if needed) and
completes through q->softirq_done_fn(). It also works with
timeouts.
2) blk_mq_end_io(). This completes inline, and ignores any timeout
state of the request.
Let blk_mq_complete_request() handle non-softirq_done_fn completions
as well, by just completing inline. If a driver has enough completion
ports to place completions correctly, it need not define a
mq_ops->complete() and we can avoid an indirect function call by
doing the completion inline.

Each hardware queue has a bitmap of software queues with pending
requests. When new IO is queued on a software queue, the bit is
set, and when IO is pruned on a hardware queue run, the bit is
cleared. This causes a lot of traffic. Switch this from the regular
BITS_PER_LONG bitmap to a sparser layout, similarly to what was
done for blk-mq tagging.
20% performance increase was observed for single threaded IO, and
about 15% performanc increase on multiple threads driving the
same device.

This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.
If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
throttled down.
The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
period has passed.

blk-mq currently uses percpu_ida for tag allocation. But that only
works well if the ratio between tag space and number of CPUs is
sufficiently high. For most devices and systems, that is not the
case. The end result if that we either only utilize the tag space
partially, or we end up attempting to fully exhaust it and run
into lots of lock contention with stealing between CPUs. This is
not optimal.
This new tagging scheme is a hybrid bitmap allocator. It uses
two tricks to both be SMP friendly and allow full exhaustion
of the space:
1) We cache the last allocated (or freed) tag on a per blk-mq
software context basis. This allows us to limit the space
we have to search. The key element here is not caching it
in the shared tag structure, otherwise we end up dirtying
more shared cache lines on each allocate/free operation.
2) The tag space is split into cache line sized groups, and
each context will start off randomly in that space. Even up
to full utilization of the space, this divides the tag users
efficiently into cache line groups, avoiding dirtying the same
one both between allocators and between allocator and freeer.
This scheme shows drastically better behaviour, both on small
tag spaces but on large ones as well. It has been tested extensively
to show better performance for all the cases blk-mq cares about.

The blk-mq code is using it's own version of the I/O completion affinity
tunables, which causes a few issues:
- the rq_affinity sysfs file doesn't work for blk-mq devices, even if it
still is present, thus breaking existing tuning setups.
- the rq_affinity = 1 mode, which is the defauly for legacy request based
drivers isn't implemented at all.
- blk-mq drivers don't implement any completion affinity with the default
flag settings.
This patches removes the blk-mq ipi_redirect flag and sysfs file, as well
as the internal BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_IPI flag and replaces it with code that
respects the queue-wide rq_affinity flags and also implements the
rq_affinity = 1 mode.
This means I/O completion affinity can now only be tuned block-queue wide
instead of per context, which seems more sensible to me anyway.

The current blk_mq_init_commands/blk_mq_free_commands interface has a
two problems:
1) Because only the constructor is passed to blk_mq_init_commands there
is no easy way to clean up when a comman initialization failed. The
current code simply leaks the allocations done in the constructor.
2) There is no good place to call blk_mq_free_commands: before
blk_cleanup_queue there is no guarantee that all outstanding
commands have completed, so we can't free them yet. After
blk_cleanup_queue the queue has usually been freed. This can be
worked around by grabbing an unconditional reference before calling
blk_cleanup_queue and dropping it after blk_mq_free_commands is
done, although that's not exatly pretty and driver writers are
guaranteed to get it wrong sooner or later.
Both issues are easily fixed by making the request constructor and
destructor normal blk_mq_ops methods.

And if they do allocations or mappings in the init command path,

Reserving a tag (request) for flush to avoid dead lock is a overkill. A
tag is valuable resource. We can track the number of flush requests and
disallow having too many pending flush requests allocated. With this
patch, blk_mq_alloc_request_pinned() could do a busy nop (but not a dead
loop) if too many pending requests are allocated and new flush request
is allocated. But this should not be a problem, too many pending flush
requests are very rare case.
I verified this can fix the deadlock caused by too many pending flush
requests.

I observed that there are for_each macros that do an extra memory access
beyond the defined area.
Normally this does not cause problems.
But, this can cause exceptions. For example: if the area is allocated at
the end of a page and the next page is not accessible.
For correctness, I suggest changing the arguments of the 'for loop' like
