This patch moves the NVMe driver from drivers/block/ to its own new
drivers/nvme/host/ directory. This is in preparation of splitting the
current monolithic driver up and add support for the upcoming NVMe
over Fabrics standard. The drivers/nvme/host/ is chose to leave space
for a NVMe target implementation in addition to this host side driver.

Currently all NVMe command and completion structures are exposed to userspace
through the uapi version of nvme.h. They are not an ABI between the kernel
and userspace, and will change in C-incompatible way for future versions of
the spec. Move them to the kernel version of the file and rename the uapi
header to nvme_ioctl.h so that userspace can easily detect the presence of
the new clean header. Nvme-cli already carries a local copy of the header,
so it won't be affected by this move.

Releasing IO queues and disks was done in a work queue outside the
controller resume context to delete namespaces if the controller failed
after a resume from suspend. This is unnecessary since we can resume
a device asynchronously.
This patch makes resume use probe_work so it can directly remove
namespaces if the device is manageable but not IO capable. Since the
deleting disks was the only reason we had the convoluted "reset_workfn",
this patch removes that unnecessary indirection.

There are at least 3 advantages to use direct I/O and AIO on
read/write loop's backing file:
1) double cache can be avoided, then memory usage gets
decreased a lot
2) not like user space direct I/O, there isn't cost of
pinning pages
3) avoid context switch for obtaining good throughput
- in buffered file read, random I/O top throughput is often obtained
only if they are submitted concurrently from lots of tasks; but for
sequential I/O, most of times they can be hit from page cache, so
concurrent submissions often introduce unnecessary context switch
and can't improve throughput much. There was such discussion[1]
to use non-blocking I/O to improve the problem for application.
- with direct I/O and AIO, concurrent submissions can be
avoided and random read throughput can't be affected meantime
xfstests(-g auto, ext4) is basically passed when running with
direct I/O(aio), one exception is generic/232, but it failed in
loop buffered I/O(4.2-rc6-next-20150814) too.
Follows the fio test result for performance purpose:
4 jobs fio test inside ext4 file system over loop block
1) How to run
- KVM: 4 VCPUs, 2G RAM
- linux kernel: 4.2-rc6-next-20150814(base) with the patchset
- the loop block is over one image on SSD.
- linux psync, 4 jobs, size 1500M, ext4 over loop block
- test result: IOPS from fio output
2) Throughput(IOPS) becomes a bit better with direct I/O(aio)
-------------------------------------------------------------
test cases |randread |read |randwrite |write |
-------------------------------------------------------------
base |8015 |113811 |67442 |106978
-------------------------------------------------------------
base+loop aio |8136 |125040 |67811 |111376
-------------------------------------------------------------
- somehow, it should be caused by more page cache avaiable for
application or one extra page copy is avoided in case of direct I/O
3) context switch
- context switch decreased by ~50% with loop direct I/O(aio)
compared with loop buffered I/O(4.2-rc6-next-20150814)
4) memory usage from /proc/meminfo
-------------------------------------------------------------
| Buffers | Cached
-------------------------------------------------------------
base | > 760MB | ~950MB
-------------------------------------------------------------
base+loop direct I/O(aio) | < 5MB | ~1.6GB
-------------------------------------------------------------
- so there are much more page caches available for application with
direct I/O

The following patch will use dio/aio to submit IO to backing file,
then it needn't to schedule IO concurrently from work, so
use kthread_work for decreasing context switch cost a lot.
For non-AIO case, single thread has been used for long long time,
and it was just converted to work in v4.0, which has caused performance
regression for fedora live booting already. In discussion[1], even
though submitting I/O via work concurrently can improve random read IO
throughput, meantime it might hurt sequential read IO performance, so
better to restore to single thread behaviour.
For the following AIO support, it is better to use multi hw-queue
with per-hwq kthread than current work approach suppose there is so
high performance requirement for loop.

Request allocation has been moved to connect_ring, which is called every
time blkback connects to the frontend (this can happen multiple times during
a blkback instance life cycle). On the other hand, request freeing has not
been moved, so it's only called when destroying the backend instance. Due to
this mismatch, blkback can allocate the request pool multiple times, without
freeing it.
In order to fix it, move the freeing of requests to xen_blkif_disconnect to
restore the symmetry between request allocation and freeing.

Messages that do not affect functionality, but user

%d (%s) Attribute %s (and others) will be removed. %s
Messages that do not affect functionality and mostly are

Cannot change max compression streams
Can't change algorithm for initialized device
Cannot change disksize for initialized device
Added device: %s
Removed device: %s
b) Update sysfs_create_group() error message

Compaction returns back to zram the number of migrated objects, which is
quite uninformative -- we have objects of different sizes so user space
cannot obtain any valuable data from that number. Change compaction to
operate in terms of pages and return back to compaction issuer the
number of pages that were freed during compaction. So from now on we
will export more meaningful value in zram<id>/mm_stat -- the number of
freed (compacted) pages.
This requires:
(a) a rename of `num_migrated' to 'pages_compacted'
(b) a internal API change -- return first_page's fullness_group from
putback_zspage(), so we know when putback_zspage() did
free_zspage(). It helps us to account compaction stats correctly.

`zs_compact_control' accounts the number of migrated objects but it has
a limited lifespan -- we lose it as soon as zs_compaction() returns back
to zram. It worked fine, because (a) zram had it's own counter of
migrated objects and (b) only zram could trigger compaction. However,
this does not work for automatic pool compaction (not issued by zram).
To account objects migrated during auto-compaction (issued by the
shrinker) we need to store this number in zs_pool.
Define a new `struct zs_pool_stats' structure to keep zs_pool's stats
there. It provides only `num_migrated', as of this writing, but it
surely can be extended.
A new zsmalloc zs_pool_stats() symbol exports zs_pool's stats back to
caller.
Use zs_pool_stats() in zram and remove `num_migrated' from zram_stats.

1/ Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to
enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX
('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the
'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System
RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will
arrive in a later kernel.
2/ Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of
the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
3/ Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
4/ Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
5/ Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support
for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

Based on include/xen/mm.h [1], Linux is mistakenly using MFN when GFN
is meant, I suspect this is because the first support for Xen was for
PV. This resulted in some misimplementation of helpers on ARM and
confused developers about the expected behavior.
For instance, with pfn_to_mfn, we expect to get an MFN based on the name.
Although, if we look at the implementation on x86, it's returning a GFN.
For clarity and avoid new confusion, replace any reference to mfn with
gfn in any helpers used by PV drivers. The x86 code will still keep some
reference of pfn_to_mfn which may be used by all kind of guests
No changes as been made in the hypercall field, even
though they may be invalid, in order to keep the same as the defintion
in xen repo.
Note that page_to_mfn has been renamed to xen_page_to_gfn to avoid a
name to close to the KVM function gfn_to_page.
Take also the opportunity to simplify simple construction such
as pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(page)) into xen_page_to_gfn. More complex clean up
will come in follow-up patches.

- Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.
- Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
from Jeff Moyer. This caused performance regressions in various
tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
instead.
- Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down.
We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
sectors.
- Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.
- Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
path). From Kent.
- Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
faster. From Ming Lei.
- Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
condition.
- Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward

Hi,
After commit f70ced0917 (blk-mq: support per-distpatch_queue flush
machinery), the mtip32xx driver may oops upon module load due to walking
off the end of an array in mtip_init_cmd. On initialization of the
flush_rq, init_request is called with request_index >= the maximum queue
depth the driver supports. For mtip32xx, this value is used to index
into an array. What this means is that the driver will walk off the end
of the array, and either oops or cause random memory corruption.
The problem is easily reproduced by doing modprobe/rmmod of the mtip32xx
driver in a loop. I can typically reproduce the problem in about 30
seconds.
Now, in the case of mtip32xx, it actually doesn't support flush/fua, so
I think we can simply return without doing anything. In addition, no
other mq-enabled driver does anything with the request_index passed into
init_request(), so no other driver is affected. However, I'm not really
sure what is expected of drivers. Ming, what did you envision drivers
would do when initializing the flush requests?

The SG_GAPS queue flag caused checks for bio vector alignment against
PAGE_SIZE, but the device may have different constraints. This patch
adds a queue limits so a driver with such constraints can set to allow
requests that would have been unnecessarily split. The new gaps check
takes the request_queue as a parameter to simplify the logic around
invoking this function.
This new limit makes the queue flag redundant, so removing it and
all usage. Device-mappers will inherit the correct settings through
blk_stack_limits().

This reverts commit 34b48db66e.
That commit caused performance regressions for streaming I/O
workloads on a number of different storage devices, from
SATA disks to external RAID arrays. It also managed to
trip up some buggy firmware in at least one drive, causing
data corruption.
The next patch will bump the default max_sectors_kb value to
1280, which will accommodate a 10-data-disk stripe write
with chunk size 128k. In the testing I've done using iozone,
fio, and aio-stress, a value of 1280 does not show a big
performance difference from 512. This will hopefully still
help the software RAID setup that Christoph saw the original
performance gains with while still not regressing other
storage configurations.
