If the default elevator chosen is mq-deadline, elevator_init_mq() may
return an error if mq-deadline initialization fails, leading to
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() returning an error, which in turn will
cause the block device initialization to fail and the device not being
exposed.
Instead of taking such extreme measure, handle mq-deadline
initialization failures in the same manner as when mq-deadline is not
available (no module to load), that is, default to the "none" scheduler.
With this change, elevator_init_mq() return type can be changed to void.

The kernfs built-in lock of 'kn->count' is held in sysfs .show/.store
path. Meantime, inside block's .show/.store callback, q->sysfs_lock is
required.
However, when mq & iosched kobjects are removed via
blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue(), q->sysfs_lock is held
too. This way causes AB-BA lock because the kernfs built-in lock of
'kn-count' is required inside kobject_del() too, see the lockdep warning[1].
On the other hand, it isn't necessary to acquire q->sysfs_lock for
both blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue() because
clearing REGISTERED flag prevents storing to 'queue/scheduler'
from being happened. Also sysfs write(store) is exclusive, so no
necessary to hold the lock for elv_unregister_queue() when it is
called in switching elevator path.
So split .sysfs_lock into two: one is still named as .sysfs_lock for
covering sync .store, the other one is named as .sysfs_dir_lock
for covering kobjects and related status change.
sysfs itself can handle the race between add/remove kobjects and
showing/storing attributes under kobjects. For switching scheduler
via storing to 'queue/scheduler', we use the queue flag of
QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with .sysfs_lock for avoiding the race, then
we can avoid to hold .sysfs_lock during removing/adding kobjects.

In theory, IO scheduler belongs to request queue, and the request pool
of sched tags belongs to the request queue too.
However, the current tags allocation interfaces are re-used for both
driver tags and sched tags, and driver tags is definitely host wide,
and doesn't belong to any request queue, same with its request pool.
So we need tagset instance for freeing request of sched tags.
Meantime, blk_mq_free_tag_set() often follows blk_cleanup_queue() in case
of non-BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED, this way requires that request pool of sched
tags to be freed before calling blk_mq_free_tag_set().
Commit 47cdee29ef ("block: move blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue")
moves blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue for simplying the fast
path in generic_make_request(), then causes oops during freeing requests
of sched tags in __blk_release_queue().
Fix the above issue by move freeing request pool of sched tags into
blk_cleanup_queue(), this way is safe becasue queue has been frozen and no any
in-queue requests at that time. Freeing sched tags has to be kept in queue's
release handler becasue there might be un-completed dispatch activity
which might refer to sched tags.

Drivers exposing zoned block devices have to initialize and maintain
correctness (i.e. revalidate) of the device zone bitmaps attached to
the device request queue (seq_zones_bitmap and seq_zones_wlock).
To simplify coding this, introduce a generic helper function
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() suitable for most (and likely all) cases.
This new function always update the seq_zones_bitmap and seq_zones_wlock
bitmaps as well as the queue nr_zones field when called for a disk
using a request based queue. For a disk using a BIO based queue, only
the number of zones is updated since these queues do not have
schedulers and so do not need the zone bitmaps.
With this change, the zone bitmap initialization code in sd_zbc.c can be
replaced with a call to this function in sd_zbc_read_zones(), which is
called from the disk revalidate block operation method.
A call to blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is also added to the null_blk
driver for devices created with the zoned mode enabled.
Finally, to ensure that zoned devices created with dm-linear or
dm-flakey expose the correct number of zones through sysfs, a call to
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is added to dm_table_set_restrictions().
The zone bitmaps allocated and initialized with
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() are freed automatically from
__blk_release_queue() using the block internal function
blk_queue_free_zone_bitmaps().

There is no need to synchronously execute all REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET BIOs

Modify blkdev_reset_zones() to operate similarly to

avoid code duplication of that function in blk_zoned.c, rename
next_bio() into blk_next_bio() and declare it as a block internal

the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are
a few differences from wbt
- It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to
the actual io.
- We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to.
- We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can
be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of
other workloads on our protected workload.
- By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that
we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at
throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth.
- We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial
delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy
workloads.
In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads
will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing
normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if
they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO).
Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where
we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and
everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per
second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable
RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier.
Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group.
Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box
to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS
drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and
things recover within seconds.

Currently, struct request has four timestamp fields:
- A start time, set at get_request time, in jiffies, used for iostats
- An I/O start time, set at start_request time, in ktime nanoseconds,
used for blk-stats (i.e., wbt, kyber, hybrid polling)
- Another start time and another I/O start time, used for cfq and bfq
These can all be consolidated into one start time and one I/O start
time, both in ktime nanoseconds, shaving off up to 16 bytes from struct
request depending on the kernel config.

This patch helps to avoid that new code gets introduced in block drivers
that manipulates queue flags without holding the queue lock when that

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block IO related changes for the
4.16 kernel. Nothing major in this pull request, but a good amount of
improvements and fixes all over the map. This contains:
- BFQ improvements, fixes, and cleanups from Angelo, Chiara, and
Paolo.
- Support for SMR zones for deadline and mq-deadline from Damien and
Christoph.
- Set of fixes for bcache by way of Michael Lyle, including fixes
from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly.
- Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg,
Javier, and Matias. Mostly centered around pblk, and the removing
rrpc 1.2 in preparation for supporting 2.0.
- A couple of NVMe pull requests from Christoph. Nothing major in
here, just fixes and cleanups, and support for command tracing from
Johannes.
- Support for blk-throttle for tracking reads and writes separately.
From Joseph Qi. A few cleanups/fixes also for blk-throttle from
Weiping.
- Series from Mike Snitzer that enables dm to register its queue more
logically, something that's alwways been problematic on dm since
it's a stacked device.
- Series from Ming cleaning up some of the bio accessor use, in
preparation for supporting multipage bvecs.
- Various fixes from Ming closing up holes around queue mapping and
quiescing.
- BSD partition fix from Richard Narron, fixing a problem where we
can't mount newer (10/11) FreeBSD partitions.
- Series from Tejun reworking blk-mq timeout handling. The previous
scheme relied on atomic bits, but it had races where we would think
a request had timed out if it to reused at the wrong time.
- null_blk now supports faking timeouts, to enable us to better
exercise and test that functionality separately. From me.
- Kill the separate atomic poll bit in the request struct. After
this, we don't use the atomic bits on blk-mq anymore at all. From
me.
- sgl_alloc/free helpers from Bart.
- Heavily contended tag case scalability improvement from me.
- Various little fixes and cleanups from Arnd, Bart, Corentin,
Douglas, Eryu, Goldwyn, and myself"

We reduce the resolution of request expiry, but since we're already
using jiffies for this where resolution depends on the kernel
configuration and since the timeout resolution is coarse anyway,
that should be fine.

We don't need this to be an atomic flag, it can be a regular
flag. We either end up on the same CPU for the polling, in which
case the state is sane, or we did the sleep which would imply
the needed barrier to ensure we see the right state.

After the recent updates to use generation number and state based
synchronization, we can easily replace REQ_ATOM_STARTED usages by
adding an extra state to distinguish completed but not yet freed
state.
Add MQ_RQ_COMPLETE and replace REQ_ATOM_STARTED usages with
blk_mq_rq_state() tests. REQ_ATOM_STARTED no longer has any users
left and is removed.

Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual
issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic
bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence
rules. Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes.
There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and
REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however,
they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle
instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add.
blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration,
deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance.
In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a
later instance of a request. If we induce 5 sec delay before
time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to
2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out
requests spuriously pretty quickly. Nothing actually timed out. It
just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then
terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished.
The scenario isn't theoretical either.
This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU
and generation number based one.
1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be
updated only by the request owner. Whenever a request becomes
in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too. This provides
the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle
instances of the request.
Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are
protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both
values coherently.
2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline. If
the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated
request abortion field and does RCU wait.
3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous
patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state
match the abortion field. If so, it skips completion.
4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and
terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones
requested for abortion.
By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number
and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield
to it and can safely timeout the request.
While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't
depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and
hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance.
While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary
between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't
removed yet as it's still used in other places. Future patches will
move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in
the hot paths.
Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path. The race has always been there and this
patch doesn't change it. It's just documenting the existing race.
v2: - Fixed BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER handling as pointed out by Jianchao.
- s/request->gstate_seqc/request->gstate_seq/ as suggested by Peter.
- READ_ONCE() added in blk_mq_rq_update_state() as suggested by Peter.
v3: - Fixed possible extended seqcount / u64_stats_sync read looping
spotted by Peter.
- MQ_RQ_IDLE was incorrectly being set in complete_request instead
of free_request. Fixed.
v4: - Rebased on top of hctx_lock() refactoring patch.
- Added comment explaining the use of hctx_lock() in completion path.
v5: - Added comments requested by Bart.
- Note the addition of BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER race condition in the

Now we track legacy requests with .q_usage_counter in commit 055f6e18e0
("block: Make q_usage_counter also track legacy requests"), but that
commit never runs and drains legacy queue before waiting for this counter
becoming zero, then IO hang is caused in the test of pulling disk during IO.
This patch fixes the issue by draining requests before waiting for
q_usage_counter becoming zero, both Mauricio and chenxiang reported this
issue, and observed that it can be fixed by this patch.
