When copying data from the journal to the appropriate place, we submit
many IOs. Some of these IOs could go to adjacent areas. Use on-stack
plugging so that adjacent IOs get merged during submission.

When using a block size greater than 512 bytes, the dm-integrity target
allocates journal space inefficiently. It allocates one journal entry
for each 512-byte chunk of data, fills an entry for each block of data
and leaves the remaining entries unused.
This issue doesn't cause data corruption, but all the unused journal
entries degrade performance severely.
For example, with 4k blocks and an 8k bio, it would allocate 16 journal
entries but only use 2 entries. The remaining 14 entries were left
unused.
Fix this by adding the missing 'log2_sectors_per_block' shifts that are
required to have each journal entry map to a full block.

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
core cleanups.
Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
already sent out.
This pull request contains:
- A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
different schemes for different places.
- Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
scheduler interactions in blk-mq.
- And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
and do bounce buffering in the block layer.
- A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
hangs or stalls.
- Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
differences across types of devices.
- A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.
- Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
that of the underlying device.
- Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
lightnvm, particular around pblk.
- A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
amplification.
- A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.
- Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.
- A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
don't really need them.
- Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"

dm-integrity would successfully create mappings with the number of
sectors greater than the provided data sector count. Attempts to read
sectors of this mapping that were beyond the provided data sector count
would then yield run-time messages of the form "device-mapper:
integrity: Too big sector number: ...".
Fix this by emitting an error when the requested mapping size is bigger
than the provided data sector count.

Merge tag 'v4.12-rc5' into for-4.13/block
We've already got a few conflicts and upcoming work depends on some of the

Pull in 4.12-rc5 to resolve these conflicts and make it easier on down stream
trees to continue working on 4.13 changes.

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
proper blk_status_t value.

Instead use the special DM_MAPIO_KILL return value to return -EIO just
like we do for the request based path. Note that dm-log-writes returned
-ENOMEM in a few places, which now becomes -EIO instead. No consumer
treats -ENOMEM special so this shouldn't be an issue (and it should
use a mempool to start with to make guaranteed progress).

Commit b685d3d65a ("block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous") removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_{FUA|PREFLUSH|...}
definitions. generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA and
REQ_PREFLUSH flags from a bio when the storage doesn't report volatile
write cache and thus write effectively becomes asynchronous which can
lead to performance regressions.
Fix the problem by making sure all bios which are synchronous are
properly marked with REQ_SYNC.

The DM integrity block size can now be 512, 1k, 2k or 4k. Using larger
blocks reduces metadata handling overhead. The block size can be
configured at table load time using the "block_size:<value>" option;
where <value> is expressed in bytes (defult is still 512 bytes).
It is safe to use larger block sizes with DM integrity, because the
DM integrity journal makes sure that the whole block is updated
atomically even if the underlying device doesn't support atomic writes
of that size (e.g. 4k block ontop of a 512b device).

In recovery mode, we don't:
- replay the journal
- check checksums
- allow writes to the device
This mode can be used as a last resort for data recovery. The
motivation for recovery mode is that when there is a single error in the
journal, the user should not lose access to the whole device.

The dm-integrity target emulates a block device that has additional
per-sector tags that can be used for storing integrity information.
A general problem with storing integrity tags with every sector is that
writing the sector and the integrity tag must be atomic - i.e. in case of
crash, either both sector and integrity tag or none of them is written.
To guarantee write atomicity the dm-integrity target uses a journal. It
writes sector data and integrity tags into a journal, commits the journal
and then copies the data and integrity tags to their respective location.
The dm-integrity target can be used with the dm-crypt target - in this
situation the dm-crypt target creates the integrity data and passes them
to the dm-integrity target via bio_integrity_payload attached to the bio.
In this mode, the dm-crypt and dm-integrity targets provide authenticated
disk encryption - if the attacker modifies the encrypted device, an I/O
error is returned instead of random data.
The dm-integrity target can also be used as a standalone target, in this
mode it calculates and verifies the integrity tag internally. In this
mode, the dm-integrity target can be used to detect silent data
corruption on the disk or in the I/O path.
