Instead of allocating a separate struct device for the character device
handle embedd it into struct nvme_ctrl and use it for the main controller
refcounting. This removes double refcounting and gets us an automatic
reference for the character device operations. We keep ctrl->device as a
pointer for now to avoid chaning printks all over, but in the future we
could look into message printing helpers that take a controller structure
similar to what other subsystems do.
Note the delete_ctrl operation always already has a reference (either
through sysfs due this change, or because every open file on the
/dev/nvme-fabrics node has a refernece) when it is entered now, so we
don't need to do the unless_zero variant there.

The transport io timeout behavior wasn't quite correct. It ignored
that the io error handler is supposed to be synchronous so it possibly
allowed the blk request to be restarted while the io associated was
still aborting. Timeouts on reserved commands, those used for
association create, were never timing out thus they hung out forever.
To correct:
If an io is times out while a remoteport is not connected, just
restart the io timer. The lack of connectivity will simultaneously
be resetting the controller, so the reset path will abort and terminate
the io.
If an io is times out while it was marked for transport abort, just
reset the io timer. The abort process is underway and will complete
the io.
Otherwise, if an io times out, abort the io. If the abort was
unsuccessful (unlikely) give up and return not handled.
If the abort was successful, as the abort process is underway it will
terminate the io, so rather than synchronously waiting, just restart
the io timer.

The io completion handling for i/o's that are failing due to
to a transport error or association termination had issues, causing
io failures (DNR set so retries didn't kick in) or long stalls.
Change the io completion handler for the following items:
When an io has been completed due to a transport abort (based on an
exchange error) or when marked as aborted as part of an association
termination (FCOP_FLAGS_TERMIO), set the NVME completion status to
NVME_SC_ABORTED. By default, do not set DNR on the status so that a
retry can be attempted after association recreate.
In cases where an io is failed (non-successful nvme status including
aborted), if the controller is being deleted (blk_queue_dying) or
the io was part of the ios used for association creation (ctrl state
is NEW or RECONNECTING), then additionally set the DNR bit so the io
will not be retried. If the failed io was part of association creation,
the failure will tear down the partially completioned association and
typically restart a new reconnect attempt (another create association
later).

This adds SGL support for NVMe PCIe driver, based on an earlier patch
from Rajiv Shanmugam Madeswaran <smrajiv15 at gmail.com>. This patch
refactors the original code and adds new module parameter sgl_threshold
to determine whether to use SGL or PRP for IOs.
The usage of SGLs is controlled by the sgl_threshold module parameter,
which allows to conditionally use SGLs if average request segment
size (avg_seg_size) is greater than sgl_threshold. In the original patch,
the decision of using SGLs was dependent only on the IO size,
with the new approach we consider not only IO size but also the
number of physical segments present in the IO.
We calculate avg_seg_size based on request payload bytes and number
of physical segments present in the request.
For e.g.:-
1. blk_rq_nr_phys_segments = 2 blk_rq_payload_bytes = 8k
avg_seg_size = 4K use sgl if avg_seg_size >= sgl_threshold.
2. blk_rq_nr_phys_segments = 2 blk_rq_payload_bytes = 64k
avg_seg_size = 32K use sgl if avg_seg_size >= sgl_threshold.
3. blk_rq_nr_phys_segments = 16 blk_rq_payload_bytes = 64k
avg_seg_size = 4K use sgl if avg_seg_size >= sgl_threshold.

If many queues belonging to the same group happen to be created
shortly after each other, then the concurrent processes associated
with these queues have typically a common goal, and they get it done
as soon as possible if not hampered by device idling. Examples are
processes spawned by git grep, or by systemd during boot. As for
device idling, this mechanism is currently necessary for weight
raising to succeed in its goal: privileging I/O. In view of these
facts, BFQ does not provide the above queues with either weight
raising or device idling.
On the other hand, a burst of queue creations may be caused also by
the start-up of a complex application. In this case, these queues need
usually to be served one after the other, and as quickly as possible,
to maximise responsiveness. Therefore, in this case the best strategy
is to weight-raise all the queues created during the burst, i.e., the
exact opposite of the strategy for the above case.
To distinguish between the two cases, BFQ uses an empirical burst-size
threshold, found through extensive tests and monitoring of daily
usage. Only large bursts, i.e., burst with a size above this
threshold, are considered as generated by a high number of parallel
processes. In this respect, upstart-based boot proved to be rather
hard to detect as generating a large burst of queue creations, because
with upstart most of the queues created in a burst exit *before* the
next queues in the same burst are created. To address this issue, I
changed the burst-detection mechanism so as to not decrease the size
of the current burst even if one of the queues in the burst is
eliminated.
Unfortunately, this missing decrease causes false positives on very
fast systems: on the start-up of a complex application, such as
libreoffice writer, so many queues are created, served and exited
shortly after each other, that a large burst of queue creations is
wrongly detected as occurring. These false positives just disappear if
the size of a burst is decreased when one of the queues in the burst
exits. This commit restores the missing burst-size decrease, relying
of the fact that upstart is apparently unlikely to be used on systems
running this and future versions of the kernel.

A just-created bfq_queue, say Q, may happen to be merged with another
bfq_queue on the very first invocation of the function
__bfq_insert_request. In such a case, even if Q would clearly deserve
interactive weight raising (as it has just been created), the function
bfq_add_request does not make it to be invoked for Q, and thus to
activate weight raising for Q. As a consequence, when the state of Q
is saved for a possible future restore, after a split of Q from the
other bfq_queue(s), such a state happens to be (unjustly)
non-weight-raised. Then the bfq_queue will not enjoy any weight
raising on the split, even if should still be in an interactive
weight-raising period when the split occurs.
This commit solves this problem as follows, for a just-created
bfq_queue that is being early-merged: it stores directly, in the saved
state of the bfq_queue, the weight-raising state that would have been
assigned to the bfq_queue if not early-merged.

As already explained in the message of commit "block, bfq: fix
wrong init of saved start time for weight raising", if a soft
real-time weight-raising period happens to be nested in a larger
interactive weight-raising period, then BFQ restores the interactive
weight raising at the end of the soft real-time weight raising. In
particular, BFQ checks whether the latter has ended only on request
dispatches.
Unfortunately, the above scheme fails to restore interactive weight
raising in the following corner case: if a bfq_queue, say Q,
1) Is merged with another bfq_queue while it is in a nested soft
real-time weight-raising period. The weight-raising state of Q is
then saved, and not considered any longer until a split occurs.
2) Is split from the other bfq_queue(s) at a time instant when its
soft real-time weight raising is already finished.
On the split, while resuming the previous, soft real-time
weight-raised state of the bfq_queue Q, BFQ checks whether the
current soft real-time weight-raising period is actually over. If so,
BFQ switches weight raising off for Q, *without* checking whether the
soft real-time period was actually nested in a non-yet-finished
interactive weight-raising period.
This commit addresses this issue by adding the above missing check in
bfq_queue splits, and restoring interactive weight raising if needed.

This commit fixes a bug that causes bfq to fail to guarantee a high
responsiveness on some drives, if there is heavy random read+write I/O
in the background. More precisely, such a failure allowed this bug to
be found [1], but the bug may well cause other yet unreported
anomalies.
BFQ raises the weight of the bfq_queues associated with soft real-time
applications, to privilege the I/O, and thus reduce latency, for these
applications. This mechanism is named soft-real-time weight raising in
BFQ. A soft real-time period may happen to be nested into an
interactive weight raising period, i.e., it may happen that, when a
bfq_queue switches to a soft real-time weight-raised state, the
bfq_queue is already being weight-raised because deemed interactive
too. In this case, BFQ saves in a special variable
wr_start_at_switch_to_srt, the time instant when the interactive
weight-raising period started for the bfq_queue, i.e., the time
instant when BFQ started to deem the bfq_queue interactive. This value
is then used to check whether the interactive weight-raising period
would still be in progress when the soft real-time weight-raising
period ends. If so, interactive weight raising is restored for the
bfq_queue. This restore is useful, in particular, because it prevents
bfq_queues from losing their interactive weight raising prematurely,
as a consequence of spurious, short-lived soft real-time
weight-raising periods caused by wrong detections as soft real-time.
If, instead, a bfq_queue switches to soft-real-time weight raising
while it *is not* already in an interactive weight-raising period,
then the variable wr_start_at_switch_to_srt has no meaning during the
following soft real-time weight-raising period. Unfortunately the
handling of this case is wrong in BFQ: not only the variable is not
flagged somehow as meaningless, but it is also set to the time when
the switch to soft real-time weight-raising occurs. This may cause an
interactive weight-raising period to be considered mistakenly as still
in progress, and thus a spurious interactive weight-raising period to
start for the bfq_queue, at the end of the soft-real-time
weight-raising period. In particular the spurious interactive
weight-raising period will be considered as still in progress, if the
soft-real-time weight-raising period does not last very long. The
bfq_queue will then be wrongly privileged and, if I/O bound, will
unjustly steal bandwidth to truly interactive or soft real-time
bfq_queues, harming responsiveness and low latency.
This commit fixes this issue by just setting wr_start_at_switch_to_srt
to minus infinity (farthest past time instant according to jiffies
macros): when the soft-real-time weight-raising period ends, certainly
no interactive weight-raising period will be considered as still in
progress.

When someone calls wakeup_flusher_threads() or
wakeup_flusher_threads_bdi(), they schedule writeback of all dirty
pages in the system (or on that bdi). If we are tight on memory, we
can get tons of these queued from kswapd/vmscan. This causes (at
least) two problems:
1) We consume a ton of memory just allocating writeback work items.
We've seen as much as 600 million of these writeback work items
pending. That's a lot of memory to pointlessly hold hostage,
while the box is under memory pressure.
2) We spend so much time processing these work items, that we
introduce a softlockup in writeback processing. This is because
each of the writeback work items don't end up doing any work (it's
hard when you have millions of identical ones coming in to the
flush machinery), so we just sit in a tight loop pulling work
items and deleting/freeing them.
Fix this by adding a 'start_all' bit to the writeback structure, and
set that when someone attempts to flush all dirty pages. The bit is
cleared when we start writeback on that work item. If the bit is
already set when we attempt to queue !nr_pages writeback, then we
simply ignore it.
This provides us one full flush in flight, with one pending as well,
and makes for more efficient handling of this type of writeback.

occur because of a failed memory allocation.
