The flexfiles layout in particular, seems to want to poke around in the
O_DIRECT flags when retransmitting.
This patch sets up an interface to allow it to call back into O_DIRECT
to handle retransmission correctly. It also fixes a potential bug whereby
we could change the behaviour of O_DIRECT if an error is already pending.

do_blockdev_direct_IO() increments and decrements the inode
->i_dio_count for each IO operation. It does this to protect against
truncate of a file. Block devices don't need this sort of protection.
For a capable multiqueue setup, this atomic int is the only shared
state between applications accessing the device for O_DIRECT, and it
presents a scaling wall for that. In my testing, as much as 30% of
system time is spent incrementing and decrementing this value. A mixed
read/write workload improved from ~2.5M IOPS to ~9.6M IOPS, with
better latencies too. Before:

Most callers in the kernel want to perform synchronous file I/O, but
still have to bloat the stack with a full struct kiocb. Split out
the parts needed in filesystem code from those in the aio code, and
only allocate those needed to pass down argument on the stack. The
aio code embedds the generic iocb in the one it allocates and can
easily get back to it by using container_of.
Also add a ->ki_complete method to struct kiocb, this is used to call
into the aio code and thus removes the dependency on aio for filesystems
impementing asynchronous operations. It will also allow other callers
to substitute their own completion callback.
We also add a new ->ki_flags field to work around the nasty layering
violation recently introduced in commit 5e33f6 ("usb: gadget: ffs: add
eventfd notification about ffs events").

For pNFS direct writes, layout driver may dynamically allocate ds_cinfo.buckets.
So we need to take care to free them when freeing dreq.
Ideally this needs to be done inside layout driver where ds_cinfo.buckets
are allocated. But buckets are attached to dreq and reused across LD IO iterations.
So I feel it's OK to free them in the generic layer.

where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing. From Joe
Lawrence.
- Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm

Add "page groups" - a circular list of nfs requests (struct nfs_page)
that all reference the same page. This gives nfs read and write paths
the ability to account for sub-page regions independently. This
somewhat follows the design of struct buffer_head's sub-page
accounting.
Only "head" requests are ever added/removed from the inode list in
the buffered write path. "head" and "sub" requests are treated the
same through the read path and the rest of the write/commit path.
Requests are given an extra reference across the life of the list.
Page groups are never rejoined after being split. If the read/write
request fails and the client falls back to another path (ie revert
to MDS in PNFS case), the already split requests are pushed through
the recoalescing code again, which may split them further and then
coalesce them into properly sized requests on the wire. Fragmentation
shouldn't be a problem with the current design, because we flush all
requests in page group when a non-contiguous request is added, so
the only time resplitting should occur is on a resend of a read or
write.
This patch lays the groundwork for sub-page splitting, but does not
actually do any splitting. For now all page groups have one request
as pg_test functions don't yet split pages. There are several related
patches that are needed support multiple requests per page group.
