"We don't have a lot of core changes this time around, it's mostly in
drivers, which will come in a subsequent pull.
The cores changes include:
- blk-mq
- Prep patch from Christoph, changing blk_mq_alloc_request() to
take flags instead of just using gfp_t for sleep/nosleep.
- Doc patch from me, clarifying the difference between legacy
and blk-mq for timer usage.
- Fixes from Raghavendra for memory-less numa nodes, and a reuse
of CPU masks.
- Cleanup from Geliang Tang, using offset_in_page() instead of open

- From Ilya, rename request_queue slab to it reflects what it holds,
and a fix for proper use of bdgrab/put.
- A real fix for the split across stripe boundaries from Keith. We
yanked a broken version of this from 4.4-rc final, this one works.
- From Mike Krinkin, emit a trace message when we split.
- From Wei Tang, two small cleanups, not explicitly clearing memory
that is already cleared"
* 'for-4.5/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
block: use bd{grab,put}() instead of open-coding
block: split bios to max possible length
block: add call to split trace point
blk-mq: Avoid memoryless numa node encoded in hctx numa_node
blk-mq: Reuse hardware context cpumask for tags
blk-mq: add a flags parameter to blk_mq_alloc_request
Revert "blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not required"

block: do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL
block: rename request_queue slab cache
This splits bio in the middle of a vector to form the largest possible
bio at the h/w's desired alignment, and guarantees the bio being split
will have some data.
The criteria for splitting is changed from the max sectors to the h/w's
optimal sector alignment if it is provided. For h/w that advertise their
block storage's underlying chunk size, it's a big performance win to not
submit commands that cross them. If sector alignment is not provided,
this patch uses the max sectors as before.
This addresses the performance issue commit d380561113 attempted to
fix, but was reverted due to splitting logic error.

This reverts commit d380561113.
If we end up splitting on the first segment, we don't adjust
the sector count. That results in hitting a BUG() with attempting
to split 0 sectors.
As this is just a performance issue and not a regression since
4.3 release, let's just rever this change. That gives us more
time to test a real fix for 4.5, which would be marked for
stable anyway.

Commit bdced438acd83a(block: setup bi_phys_segments after

during bio splitting.
Unfortunately both bio->bi_seg_front_size and bio->bi_seg_back_size
arn't computed, so too many physical segments may be obtained
for one request since both the two are used to check if one segment
across two bios can be possible.
This patch fixes the issue by computing the two variables in
blk_bio_segment_split().

biovecs has become immutable since v3.13, so it isn't necessary
to allocate biovecs for the new cloned bios, then we can save
one extra biovecs allocation/copy, and the allocation is often
not fixed-length and a bit more expensive.
For example, if the 'max_sectors_kb' of null blk's queue is set
as 16(32 sectors) via sysfs just for making more splits, this patch
can increase throught about ~70% in the sequential read test over
null_blk(direct io, bs: 1M).

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().

The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.
But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.
We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.
Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:
* nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
* axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
* simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
* brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
* mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
* loop_make_request
* null_queue_bio
* bcache's make_request fns
Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

Immutable biovecs changed the way biovecs are interpreted - drivers no
longer use bi_vcnt, they have to go by bi_iter.bi_size (to allow for
using part of an existing segment without modifying it).
This breaks with discards and write_same bios, since for those bi_size
has nothing to do with segments in the biovec. So for now, we need a
fairly gross hack - we fortunately know that there will never be more
than one segment for the entire request, so we can special case
discard/write_same.

For blk-mq, if a driver has requested per-request payload data
to carry command structures, they are stuffed into req->special.
For an old style request based driver, req->special is used
for the same purpose but indicates that a per-driver request
structure has been prepared for the request already. So for the
old style driver, we do not merge such requests.
As most/all blk-mq drivers will use the payload feature, and
since we have no problem merging on these, make this check
dependent on whether it's a blk-mq enabled driver or not.

merging.
- blk_rq_get_max_sectors() and blk_queue_get_max_sectors() can be used
to query the maximum sector count for a given request or queue. The
calls will return the right value from the queue limits given the
type of command (RW, discard, write same, etc.)

Remove special-casing of non-rw fs style requests (discard). The nomerge
flags are consolidated in blk_types.h, and rq_mergeable() and
bio_mergeable() have been modified to use them.
bio_is_rw() is used in place of bio_has_data() a few places. This is
done to to distinguish true reads and writes from other fs type requests
that carry a payload (e.g. write same).

Add a helper to map a bio to a scatterlist, modelled after
blk_rq_map_sg.
This helper is useful for any driver that wants to create
a scatterlist from its ->make_request_fn method.
Changes in v2:
- Use __blk_segment_map_sg to avoid duplicated code
- Add cocbook style function comment

Split the mapping code in blk_rq_map_sg() to a helper
__blk_segment_map_sg(), so that other mapping function, e.g.
blk_bio_map_sg(), can share the code.

blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility
test. blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the
caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously.
elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls
elv_iosched_allow_merge(). elv_try_merge() is removed and the two
callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by
blk_try_merge(). While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return
bool.
This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any
behavior change.
This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from
plug merge.

One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.
Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
merging).
This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that
can be merged.
Thanks to Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> for testing and fixing
an accounting bug.
