846cc05f95 nvme: simplify resets
Don't delete the controller from dev_list before queuing a reset, instead
just check for it being reset in the polling kthread.  This allows to remove
the dev_list_lock in various places, and in addition we can simply rely on
checking the queue_work return value to see if we could reset a controller.

ac02dddec6 NVMe: fix build with CONFIG_NVM enabled
Looks like I didn't test with CONFIG_NVM enabled, and neither did

Most of this is really weird crazy shit in the lighnvm support, though.

06c1e3902a blk-integrity: empty implementation when disabled
This patch moves the blk_integrity_payload definition outside the
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTERITY dependency and provides empty function
implementations when the kernel configuration disables integrity
extensions. This simplifies drivers that make use of these to map user
data so they don't need to repeat the same configuration checks.

Updated by Jens to pass an error pointer return from

set, we return a weird ENOMEM from __nvme_submit_user_cmd()
if a meta buffer is set.

f3ca80fc11 nvme: move chardev and sysfs interface to common code
For this we need to add a proper controller init routine and a list of
all controllers that is in addition to the list of PCIe controllers,
which stays in pci.c.  Note that we remove the sysfs device when the
last reference to a controller is dropped now - the old code would have
kept it around longer, which doesn't make much sense.

This requires a new ->reset_ctrl operation to implement controleller
resets, and a new ->write_reg32 operation that is required to implement
subsystem resets.  We also now store caches copied of the NVMe compliance
version and the flag if a controller is attached to a subsystem or not in
the generic controller structure now.

1c63dc6658 nvme: split a new struct nvme_ctrl out of struct nvme_dev
The new struct nvme_ctrl will be used by the common NVMe code that sits
on top of struct request_queue and the new nvme_ctrl_ops abstraction.
It only contains the bare minimum required, which consists of values
sampled during controller probe, the admin queue pointer and a second
struct device pointer at the moment, but more will follow later.  Only
values that are not used in the I/O fast path should be moved to
struct nvme_ctrl so that drivers can optimize their cache line usage
easily.  That's also the reason why we have two device pointers as
the struct device is used for DMA mapping purposes.

c5c9f25b98 NVMe: default to 4k device page size
We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power)
is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit
DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control
Entries).

The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the
PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment
matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size,
as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).

In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.

With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
will BUG within a few minutes.

Instead of bit-based bad block table, the bad block table now allows
eight bad block categories. Currently four are defined:

 * Host-side reserved blocks

The factory and grown bad blocks are the regular bad blocks. The
reserved blocks are either for internal use or external use. In
particular, the device-side reserved blocks allows the host to
bootstrap from a limited number of flash blocks. Reducing the flash
blocks to scan upon super block initialization.

Updated by me to explicitly use lo_hi_read/writeq instead of playing
define tricks.

b12363d0a5 NVMe: Increase the max transfer size when mdts is 0
This patch address the issue when IO with 128KB from FIO is split into
two parts, 124KB and 4KB, due to max transfer size(127KB). This degrades
the device performance.

3419b45039 Merge branch 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
 "Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
  (really) fast devices.  The code has been reviewed and has been
  sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough
  for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.

  Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported.  A framework is in
  the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune
  this.  And we'll add libaio support as well soon.  Fow now, it's an
  opt-in feature for test purposes"

* 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  direct-io: be sure to assign dio->bio_bdev for both paths
  directio: add block polling support
  NVMe: add blk polling support
  block: add block polling support
  blk-mq: return tag/queue combo in the make_request_fn handlers
  block: change ->make_request_fn() and users to return a queue cookie
