This patch performs sequential mapping between CPUs and queues.
In case the system has more CPUs than HWQs then there are still
CPUs to map to HWQs. In hyperthreaded system, map the unmapped CPUs
and their siblings to the same HWQ.
This actually fixes a bug that found unmapped HWQs in a system with
2 sockets, 18 cores per socket, 2 threads per core (total 72 CPUs)
running NVMEoF (opens upto maximum of 64 HWQs).
Performance results running fio (72 jobs, 128 iodepth)

We can deadlock in case we got to a device removal
event on a queue which is already in the process of
destroying the cm_id is this is blocking until all
events on this cm_id will drain. On the other hand
we cannot guarantee that rdma_destroy_id was invoked
as we only have indication that the queue disconnect
flow has been queued (the queue state is updated before
the realease work has been queued).
So, we leave all the queue removal to a separate ib_client
to avoid this deadlock as ib_client device removal is in
a different context than the cm_id itself.

Currently, the fc transport invokes nvme_fc_error_recovery() on every
io in which the transport detects an error. Which means:
a) it's really noisy on large io loads that all get hit by a link down.
b) we repeatively call nvme_stop_queues() even though queues are
stopped upon the first error or as first steps of reset_work.
Correct by:
Errors are only meaningful if the controller is in the LIVE state.
Thus, enact the reset_work only if LIVE. If called repeatively, state
will have already transitioned.
There's no need to stop the queues here. Let the first steps of
reset_work do the queue stopping.

if a nvme command is issued with an opcode that is not supported by
the target (example: opcode 21 - detach namespace), the target
crashes due to a null pointer.
nvmet_req_init() detects the bad opcode and immediately calls the nvme
command done routine with an error status, allowing the transport to
send the response. However, the FC transport was aborting the command
on error, so the abort freed the lldd point, but the rsp transmit path
referenced it psot the free.
Fix by removing the abort call on nvmet_req_init() failure.
The completion response will be sent with an error status code.
As the completion path will terminate the io, ensure the data_sg

The SCSI-to-NVMe translations were added to assist storage applications
utilizing SG_IO transitioning to NVMe. It was always recommended,
however, to use native NVMe for device management as too much is lost
in translation and the maintenance burden in keeping this kludgey
layer around has been neglected such that much of the translations are
completely broken.
This patch removes SG_IO handling from NVMe to avoid any confusion
regarding maintenance support for this interface. The config option for
NVMe SCSI emulation has been disabled by default since 4.5. The driver
has supported native nvme user commands since the beginning, and native
tooling is publicly available for use or as reference for anyone writing
their own tools, so there's no excuse for hanging onto a broken crutch.

This commit fixes a bug triggered by a non-trivial sequence of
events. These events are briefly described in the next two
paragraphs. The impatiens, or those who are familiar with queue
merging and splitting, can jump directly to the last paragraph.
On each I/O-request arrival for a shared bfq_queue, i.e., for a
bfq_queue that is the result of the merge of two or more bfq_queues,
BFQ checks whether the shared bfq_queue has become seeky (i.e., if too
many random I/O requests have arrived for the bfq_queue; if the device
is non rotational, then random requests must be also small for the
bfq_queue to be tagged as seeky). If the shared bfq_queue is actually
detected as seeky, then a split occurs: the bfq I/O context of the
process that has issued the request is redirected from the shared
bfq_queue to a new non-shared bfq_queue. As a degenerate case, if the
shared bfq_queue actually happens to be shared only by one process
(because of previous splits), then no new bfq_queue is created: the
state of the shared bfq_queue is just changed from shared to non
shared.
Regardless of whether a brand new non-shared bfq_queue is created, or
the pre-existing shared bfq_queue is just turned into a non-shared
bfq_queue, several parameters of the non-shared bfq_queue are set
(restored) to the original values they had when the bfq_queue
associated with the bfq I/O context of the process (that has just
issued an I/O request) was merged with the shared bfq_queue. One of
these parameters is the weight-raising state.
If, on the split of a shared bfq_queue,
1) a pre-existing shared bfq_queue is turned into a non-shared
bfq_queue;
2) the previously shared bfq_queue happens to be busy;
3) the weight-raising state of the previously shared bfq_queue happens
to change;
the number of weight-raised busy queues changes. The field
wr_busy_queues must then be updated accordingly, but such an update
was missing. This commit adds the missing update.

allows a user to pass in information about where to store the data, so
that it the device can do so most effiently. If an application is
managing and writing data with different life times, mixing differently
retentioned data onto the same locations on flash can cause write
amplification to grow. This, in turn, will reduce performance and life

Define a set of write life time hints:
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET No hint information set
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NONE No hints about write life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_SHORT Data written has a short life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_MEDIUM Data written has a medium life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_LONG Data written has a long life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME Data written has an extremely long life time
The intent is for these values to be relative to each other, no
absolute meaning should be attached to these flag names.
Add an fcntl interface for querying these flags, and also for
setting them as well:
F_GET_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the
underlying inode.
F_SET_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the
underlying inode.
F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT Returns the read/write hint set on the
file descriptor.
F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT Set one of the above write hints on the
file descriptor.
The user passes in a 64-bit pointer to get/set these values, and
the interface returns 0/-1 on success/error.
Sample program testing/implementing basic setting/getting of write
hints is below.
Add support for storing the write life time hint in the inode flags
and in struct file as well, and pass them to the kiocb flags. If
both a file and its corresponding inode has a write hint, then we
use the one in the file, if available. The file hint can be used
for sync/direct IO, for buffered writeback only the inode hint
is available.
This is in preparation for utilizing these hints in the block layer,
to guide on-media data placement.

Due to user writes being decoupled from media writes because of the need
of an intermediate write buffer, irrecoverable media write errors lead
to pblk stalling; user writes fill up the buffer and end up in an
infinite retry loop.
In order to let user writes fail gracefully, it is necessary for pblk to
keep track of its own internal state and prevent further writes from
being placed into the write buffer.
This patch implements a state machine to keep track of internal errors
and, in case of failure, fail further user writes in an standard way.
Depending on the type of error, pblk will do its best to persist
buffered writes (which are already acknowledged) and close down on a
graceful manner. This way, data might be recovered by re-instantiating
pblk. Such state machine paves out the way for a state-based FTL log.

At the moment, in order to get enough read parallelism, we have recycled
several lines at the same time. This approach has proven not to work
well when reaching capacity, since we end up mixing valid data from all
lines, thus not maintaining a sustainable free/recycled line ratio.
The new design, relies on a two level workqueue mechanism. In the first
level, we read the metadata for a number of lines based on the GC list
they reside on (this is governed by the number of valid sectors in each
line). In the second level, we recycle a single line at a time. Here, we
issue reads in parallel, while a single GC write thread places data in
the write buffer. This design allows to (i) only move data from one line
at a time, thus maintaining a sane free/recycled ration and (ii)
maintain the GC writer busy with recycled data.
