16f26c3aa9 lightnvm: replace req queue with nvmdev for lld
In the case where a request queue is passed to the low lever lightnvm
device drive integration, the device driver might pass its admin
commands through another queue. Instead pass nvm_dev, and let the
low level drive the appropriate queue.

cf8ecc5a84 null_blk: guarantee device restart in all irq modes
In single-queue (block layer) mode,the function null_rq_prep_fn stops
the device if alloc_cmd fails. Then, once stopped, the device must be
restarted on the next command completion, so that the request(s) for
which alloc_cmd failed can be requeued. Otherwise the device hangs.

Unfortunately, device restart is currently performed only for delayed
completions, i.e., in irqmode==2. This fact causes hangs, for the
above reasons, with the other irqmodes in combination with single-queue
block layer.

This commits addresses this issue by making sure that, if stopped, the
device is properly restarted for all irqmodes on completions.

3c395a969a null_blk: set a separate timer for each command
For the Timer IRQ mode (i.e., when command completions are delayed),
there is one timer for each CPU. Each of these timers
. has a completion queue associated with it, containing all the
  command completions to be executed when the timer fires;
. is set, and a new completion-to-execute is inserted into its
  completion queue, every time the dispatch code for a new command
  happens to be executed on the CPU related to the timer.

This implies that, if the dispatch of a new command happens to be
executed on a CPU whose timer has already been set, but has not yet
fired, then the timer is set again, to the completion time of the
newly arrived command. When the timer eventually fires, all its queued
completions are executed.

This way of handling delayed command completions entails the following
problem: if more than one command completion is inserted into the
queue of a timer before the timer fires, then the expiration time for
the timer is moved forward every time each of these completions is
enqueued. As a consequence, only the last completion enqueued enjoys a
correct execution time, while all previous completions are unjustly
delayed until the last completion is executed (and at that time they
are executed all together).

Specifically, if all the above completions are enqueued almost at the
same time, then the problem is negligible. On the opposite end, if
every completion is enqueued a while after the previous completion was
enqueued (in the extreme case, it is enqueued only right before the
timer would have expired), then every enqueued completion, except for
the last one, experiences an inflated delay, proportional to the number
of completions enqueued after it. In the end, commands, and thus I/O
requests, may be completed at an arbitrarily lower rate than the
desired one.

This commit addresses this issue by replacing per-CPU timers with
per-command timers, i.e., by associating an individual timer with each
command.

f4829a9b7a blk-mq: fix racy updates of rq->errors
blk_mq_complete_request may be a no-op if the request has already
been completed by others means (e.g. a timeout or cancellation), but
currently drivers have to set rq->errors before calling
blk_mq_complete_request, which might leave us with the wrong error value.

Add an error parameter to blk_mq_complete_request so that we can
defer setting rq->errors until we known we won the race to complete the
request.

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph.

4246a0b63b block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Main excitement here is Peter Zijlstra's lockless rbtree optimization to

 doing that too.
 
 A little bit of parameter work here too; including Dan Streetman's breaking
 up the big param mutex so writing a parameter can load another module (yeah,
 really).  Unfortunately that broke the usual suspects, !CONFIG_MODULES and
 !CONFIG_SYSFS, so those fixes were appended too.

8b70f45e2e null_blk: restart request processing on completion handler
When irqmode=2 (IRQ completion handler is timer) and queue_mode=1
(Block interface to use is rq), the completion handler should restart
request handling for any pending requests on a queue because request
processing stops when the number of commands are queued more than
hw_queue_depth (null_rq_prep_fn returns BLKPREP_DEFER).

Without this change, the following command cannot finish.

	# modprobe null_blk irqmode=2 queue_mode=1 hw_queue_depth=1
	# fio --name=t --rw=read --size=1g --direct=1 \
	  --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --filename=/dev/nullb0

419c21a3b6 null_blk: prevent timer handler running on a different CPU where started
When irqmode=2 (IRQ completion handler is timer), timer handler should
be called on the same CPU where the timer has been started.

Since completion_queues are per-cpu and the completion handler only
touches completion_queue for local CPU, we need to prevent the handler
from running on a different CPU where the timer has been started.
Otherwise, the IO cannot be completed until another completion handler
is executed on that CPU.

74c450521d blk-mq: add a 'list' parameter to ->queue_rq()
Since we have the notion of a 'last' request in a chain, we can use
this to have the hardware optimize the issuing of requests. Add
a list_head parameter to queue_rq that the driver can use to
temporarily store hw commands for issue when 'last' is true. If we
are doing a chain of requests, pass in a NULL list for the first
request to force issue of that immediately, then batch the remainder
for deferred issue until the last request has been sent.

Instead of adding yet another argument to the hot ->queue_rq path,
encapsulate the passed arguments in a blk_mq_queue_data structure.
This is passed as a constant, and has been tested as faster than
passing 4 (or even 3) args through ->queue_rq. Update drivers for
the new ->queue_rq() prototype. There are no functional changes
in this patch for drivers - if they don't use the passed in list,
then they will just queue requests individually like before.

b277da0a8a block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices
Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.

Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions.  But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
    - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
      are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
      should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
    - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices.  From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"

e2490073cd blk-mq: call blk_mq_start_request from ->queue_rq
When we call blk_mq_start_request from the core blk-mq code before calling into
->queue_rq there is a racy window where the timeout handler can hit before we've
fully set up the driver specific part of the command.

Move the call to blk_mq_start_request into the driver so the driver can start
the request only once it is fully set up.

bf57229745 blk-mq: remove REQ_END
Pass an explicit parameter for the last request in a batch to ->queue_rq
instead of using a request flag.  Besides being a cleaner and non-stateful
interface this is also required for the next patch, which fixes the blk-mq
I/O submission code to not start a time too early.

dc501dc0d9 blk-mq: pass along blk_mq_alloc_tag_set return values
Two of the blk-mq based drivers do not pass back the return value
from blk_mq_alloc_tag_set, instead just returning -ENOMEM.

blk_mq_alloc_tag_set returns -EINVAL if the number of queues or
queue depth is bad.  -ENOMEM implies that retrying after freeing some
memory might be more successful, but that won't ever change
in the -EINVAL cases.

Change the null_blk and mtip32xx drivers to pass along
the return value.

d7790b928d block/null_blk: Fix completion processing from LIFO to FIFO
The completion queue is implemented using lockless list.

The llist_add is adds the events to the list head which is a push operation.
The processing of the completion elements is done by disconnecting all the
pushed elements and iterating over the disconnected list. The problem is
that the processing is done in reverse order w.r.t order of the insertion
i.e. LIFO processing. By reversing the disconnected list which is done in
linear time the desired FIFO processing is achieved.

518d00b749 block: null_blk: fix queue leak inside removing device
When queue_mode is NULL_Q_MQ and null_blk is being removed,
blk_cleanup_queue() isn't called to cleanup queue, so the queue
allocated won't be freed.

This patch calls blk_cleanup_queue() for MQ to drain all pending
requests first and release the reference counter of queue kobject, then
blk_mq_free_queue() will be called in queue kobject's release handler
when queue kobject's reference counter drops to zero.

In the case of both the submit_queues param and use_per_node_hctx param

If the submit_queues is a multiple of nr_online_nodes, its trivial. Simply map
them to the nodes. For example: 8 submit queues are mapped as node0[0,1],
node1[2,3], ...
If uneven, we are left with an uneven number of submit_queues that must be
mapped. These are mapped toward the first node and onward. E.g. 5
submit queues mapped onto 4 nodes are mapped as node0[0,1], node1[2], ...
