Most of the error conditions reported by a FICON storage server
indicate situations which can be recovered. Sometimes the host just
needs to retry an I/O request, but sometimes the recovery
is more complex and requires the device driver to wait, choose
a different path, etc.
The DASD device driver has a fully featured error recovery
for normal block layer I/O, but not for internal I/O request which
are for example used during the device bring up.
This can lead to situations where the IPL of a system fails because
DASD devices are not properly recognized.
This patch will extend the internal I/O handling to use the existing
error recovery procedures.

There is a race while re-reading the device characteristics. After
cleaning the memory area a cqr is build which reads the device
characteristics. This may take a rather long time and the device
characteristics structure is zero during this. Now it could be
possible that the block tasklet starts working and a new cqr will be
build. The build_cp command refers to the device characteristics
structure and this may lead into a divide by zero exception.
Fix this by re-reading the device characteristics into a temporary
structur and copy the data to the original structure. Also take the
ccwdev_lock.

To set a dasd online dasd_change_state is called twice. The first
cycle will schedule initial analysis of the device, set the rc to
-EAGAIN and will not touch the device state any more.
The initial analysis will in turn call dasd_change_state to increase
the state to the final DASD_STATE_ONLINE.
If the dasd_change_state on the second thread outruns the other one
both finish with the state set to DASD_STATE_ONLINE and the device
refcount will be decreased by 2.
Fix this by leaving dasd_change_state on rc == -EAGAIN so that the
refcount will always be decreased by 1.

With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.
This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.
Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.

__blk_end_request_all().

it will wait for each online operation to finish individually,
which may take long if many dasds need to be onlined. When using

that prepare_namespace() waits for all async threads to finish.

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */

Parallel access volumes (PAV) is a storage server feature, that allows
to start multiple channel programs on the same DASD in parallel. It
defines alias devices which can be used as alternative paths to the
same disk. With the old base PAV support we only needed rudimentary
functionality in the DASD device driver. As the mapping between base
and alias devices was static, we just had to export an identifier
(uid) and could leave the combining of devices to external layers
like a device mapper multipath.
Now hyper PAV removes the requirement to dedicate alias devices to
specific base devices. Instead each alias devices can be combined with
multiple base device on a per request basis. This requires full
support by the DASD device driver as now each channel program itself
has to identify the target base device.
The changes to the dasd device driver and the ECKD discipline are:
- Separate subchannel device representation (dasd_device) from block
device representation (dasd_block). Only base devices are block
devices.
- Gather information about base and alias devices and possible
combinations.
- For each request decide which dasd_device should be used (base or
alias) and build specific channel program.
- Support summary unit checks, which allow the storage server to
upgrade / downgrade between base and hyper PAV at runtime (support
is mandatory).

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.
