the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct bio_map_data {

struct iovec iov[];
};
instance = kmalloc(sizeof(sizeof(struct bio_map_data) + sizeof(struct iovec) *
count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

Many userspace tools and services use the proportional-share policy of
the blkio/io cgroups controller. The CFQ I/O scheduler implemented
this policy for the legacy block layer. To modify the weight of a
group in case CFQ was in charge, the 'weight' parameter of the group
must be modified. On the other hand, the BFQ I/O scheduler implements
the same policy in blk-mq, but, with BFQ, the parameter to modify has
a different name: bfq.weight (forced choice until legacy block was
present, because two different policies cannot share a common parameter
in cgroups).
Due to CFQ legacy, most if not all userspace configurations still use
the parameter 'weight', and for the moment do not seem likely to be
changed. But, when CFQ went away with legacy block, such a parameter
ceased to exist.
So, a simple workaround has been proposed [1] to make all
configurations work: add a symlink, named weight, to bfq.weight. This
commit adds such a symlink.

In theory, IO scheduler belongs to request queue, and the request pool
of sched tags belongs to the request queue too.
However, the current tags allocation interfaces are re-used for both
driver tags and sched tags, and driver tags is definitely host wide,
and doesn't belong to any request queue, same with its request pool.
So we need tagset instance for freeing request of sched tags.
Meantime, blk_mq_free_tag_set() often follows blk_cleanup_queue() in case
of non-BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED, this way requires that request pool of sched
tags to be freed before calling blk_mq_free_tag_set().
Commit 47cdee29ef ("block: move blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue")
moves blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue for simplying the fast
path in generic_make_request(), then causes oops during freeing requests
of sched tags in __blk_release_queue().
Fix the above issue by move freeing request pool of sched tags into
blk_cleanup_queue(), this way is safe becasue queue has been frozen and no any
in-queue requests at that time. Freeing sched tags has to be kept in queue's
release handler becasue there might be un-completed dispatch activity
which might refer to sched tags.

The following is a description of a hang in blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait().
The hang happens on attempt to freeze a queue while another task does
queue unfreeze.
The root cause is an incorrect sequence of percpu_ref_resurrect() and
percpu_ref_kill() and as a result those two can be swapped:
CPU#0 CPU#1
---------------- -----------------
q1 = blk_mq_init_queue(shared_tags)
q2 = blk_mq_init_queue(shared_tags):
blk_mq_add_queue_tag_set(shared_tags):
blk_mq_update_tag_set_depth(shared_tags):
list_for_each_entry()
blk_mq_freeze_queue(q1)
> percpu_ref_kill()
> blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait()
blk_cleanup_queue(q1)
blk_mq_freeze_queue(q1)
> percpu_ref_kill()
^^^^^^ freeze_depth can't guarantee the order
blk_mq_unfreeze_queue()
> percpu_ref_resurrect()
> blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait()
^^^^^^ Hang here!!!!
This wrong sequence raises kernel warning:
percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm called more than once on blk_queue_usage_counter_release!
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11854 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:336 percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm+0x99/0xb0
But the most unpleasant effect is a hang of a blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait(),
which waits for a zero of a q_usage_counter, which never happens
because percpu-ref was reinited (instead of being killed) and stays in
PERCPU state forever.
How to reproduce:
- "insmod null_blk.ko shared_tags=1 nr_devices=0 queue_mode=2"
- cpu0: python Script.py 0; taskset the corresponding process running on cpu0

Currently ll_merge_requests_fn, unlike all other merge functions,
reduces nr_phys_segments by one if the last segment of the previous,
and the first segment of the next segement are contigous. While this
seems like a nice solution to avoid building smaller than possible
requests it causes a mismatch between the segments actually present
in the request and those iterated over by the bvec iterators, including
__rq_for_each_bio. This can for example mistrigger the single segment
optimization in the nvme-pci driver, and might lead to mismatching
nr_phys_segments number when recalculating the number of request
when inserting a cloned request.
We could possibly work around this by making the bvec iterators take
the front and back segment size into account, but that would require
moving them from the bio to the bio_iter and spreading this mess
over all users of bvecs. Or we could simply remove this optimization
under the assumption that most users already build good enough bvecs,
and that the bio merge patch never cared about this optimization
either. The latter is what this patch does.
