3dc87dd048 nvme: lightnvm: attach lightnvm sysfs to nvme block device
Previously, LBA read and write were not supported in the lightnvm
specification. Now that it supports it, lets use the traditional
NVMe gendisk, and attach the lightnvm sysfs geometry export.

7498e99fc5 nvme: lightnvm: frees wrong cmd structure
When struct nvme_request was introduced, the nvme_nvm_submit_io was
converted to the new interface. The interface moves nvme_nvm_command
data structure into the struct request pdu. On io completion, rq->cmd is
freed, which should have been the dereferenced pdu nvme_request->cmd.

After commit 287922eb0b ("block: defer timeouts to a workqueue"),
deleting the timeout work after freezing the queue shouldn't be

d62118b6dd blk-wbt: allow wbt to be enabled always through sysfs
Currently there's no way to enable wbt if it's not enabled in the
kernel config by default for a device. Allow a write to the
'wbt_lat_usec' queue sysfs file to enable wbt.

This is useful for both the kernel config case, but also if the
device is CFQ managed and it was turned off by default.

e00f4f4d0f block,blkcg: use __GFP_NOWARN for best-effort allocations in blkcg
blkcg allocates some per-cgroup data structures with GFP_NOWAIT and
when that fails falls back to operations which aren't specific to the
cgroup.  Occassional failures are expected under pressure and falling
back to non-cgroup operation is the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, I forgot to add __GFP_NOWARN to these allocations and
these expected failures end up creating a lot of noise.  Add
__GFP_NOWARN.

64f1c21e86 blk-mq: make the polling code adaptive
The previous commit introduced the hybrid sleep/poll mode. Take
that one step further, and use the completion latencies to
automatically sleep for half the mean completion time. This is
a good approximation.

This changes the 'io_poll_delay' sysfs file a bit to expose the
various options. Depending on the value, the polling code will
behave differently:

-1	Never enter hybrid sleep mode
 0	Use half of the completion mean for the sleep delay
>0	Use this specific value as the sleep delay

06426adf07 blk-mq: implement hybrid poll mode for sync O_DIRECT
This patch enables a hybrid polling mode. Instead of polling after IO
submission, we can induce an artificial delay, and then poll after that.
For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, we
can sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then do our polling. This still puts
a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening
after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid
scheme, we can achieve big latency reductions while still using the same
(or less) amount of CPU.

c6463c651d sd_zbc: Force use of READ16/WRITE16
Normally, sd_read_capacity sets sdp->use_16_for_rw to 1 based on the
disk capacity so that READ16/WRITE16 are used for large drives.
However, for a zoned disk with RC_BASIS set to 0, the capacity reported
through READ_CAPACITY may be very small, leading to use_16_for_rw not being
set and READ10/WRITE10 commands being used, even after the actual zoned disk
capacity is corrected in sd_zbc_read_zones. This causes LBA offset overflow for
accesses beyond 2TB.

As the ZBC standard makes it mandatory for ZBC drives to support
the READ16/WRITE16 commands anyway, make sure that use_16_for_rw is set.

87760e5eef block: hook up writeback throttling
Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot
more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity.
Background writeback should be, by definition, background
activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time
means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads,
which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that
we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence
of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback,
unless someone is waiting for it.

The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the
CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors
the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that
window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a
given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth
is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike
CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we
simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that
scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a
close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the
windows where we get good behavior.

Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This
happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive
scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window.
When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's
stable state of a zero scale count.

The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency
target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and
75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables
blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting.

We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have
a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup
on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with
that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will
rely on CFQ doing that for us.

e34cbd3074 blk-wbt: add general throttling mechanism
We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered
writes.

wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is
happening in the system:

wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318
wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1,
               wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57
wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32

This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat
dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a
step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the
device, 259:0 in this case.
