cgroup/for-3.5 contains the following changes which blk-cgroup needs
to proceed with the on-going cleanup.
* Dynamic addition and removal of cftypes to make config/stat file
handling modular for policies.
* cgroup removal update to not wait for css references to drain to fix
blkcg removal hang caused by cfq caching cfqgs.
Pull in cgroup/for-3.5 into block/for-3.5/core. This causes the
following conflicts in block/blk-cgroup.c.
* 761b3ef50e "cgroup: remove cgroup_subsys argument from callbacks"
conflicts with blkiocg_pre_destroy() addition and blkiocg_attach()
removal. Resolved by removing @subsys from all subsys methods.
* 676f7c8f84 "cgroup: relocate cftype and cgroup_subsys definitions in
controllers" conflicts with ->pre_destroy() and ->attach() updates
and removal of modular config. Resolved by dropping forward
declarations of the methods and applying updates to the relocated
blkio_subsys.
* 4baf6e3325 "cgroup: convert all non-memcg controllers to the new
cftype interface" builds upon the previous item. Resolved by adding
->base_cftypes to the relocated blkio_subsys.

The block layer has some code trying to determine if two CPUs share a
cache, the scheduler has a similar function. Expose the function used
by the scheduler and make the block layer use it, thereby removing the
block layers usage of CONFIG_SCHED* and topology bits.

Make the following interface updates to prepare for future ioc related
changes.
* create_io_context() returning ioc only works for %current because it
doesn't increment ref on the ioc. Drop @task parameter from it and
always assume %current.
* Make create_io_context_slowpath() return 0 or -errno and rename it
to create_task_io_context().
* Make ioc_create_icq() take @ioc as parameter instead of assuming
that of %current. The caller, get_request(), is updated to create
ioc explicitly and then pass it into ioc_create_icq().

Currently block core calls directly into blk-throttle for init, drain
and exit. This patch adds blkcg_{init|drain|exit}_queue() which wraps
the blk-throttle functions. This is to give more control and
visiblity to blkcg core layer for proper layering. Further patches
will add logic common to blkcg policies to the functions.
While at it, collapse blk_throtl_release() into blk_throtl_exit().
There's no reason to keep them separate.

functions
blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility
test. blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the
caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously.
elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls
elv_iosched_allow_merge(). elv_try_merge() is removed and the two
callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by
blk_try_merge(). While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return
bool.
This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any
behavior change.
This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from
plug merge.

Now block layer knows everything necessary to create and associate
icq's with requests. Move ioc_create_icq() to blk-ioc.c and update
get_request() such that, if elevator_type->icq_size is set, requests
are automatically associated with their matching icq's before
elv_set_request(). io_context reference is also managed by block core
on request alloc/free.
* Only ioprio/cgroup changed handling remains from cfq_get_cic().
Collapsed into cfq_set_request().
* This removes queue kicking on icq allocation failure (for now). As
icq allocation failure is rare and the only effect of queue kicking
achieved was possibily accelerating queue processing, this change
shouldn't be noticeable.
There is a larger underlying problem. Unlike request allocation,
icq allocation is not guaranteed to succeed eventually after
retries. The number of icq is unbound and thus mempool can't be the
solution either. This effectively adds allocation dependency on
memory free path and thus possibility of deadlock.
This usually wouldn't happen because icq allocation is not a hot
path and, even when the condition triggers, it's highly unlikely
that none of the writeback workers already has icq.
However, this is still possible especially if elevator is being
switched under high memory pressure, so we better get it fixed.
Probably the only solution is just bypassing elevator and appending
to dispatch queue on any elevator allocation failure.
* Comment added to explain how icq's are managed and synchronized.
This completes cleanup of io_context interface.

With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to
blk-ioc too. The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced
with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc
and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc. The elevator
operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator
- in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's.
Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and
automatically performed on elevator switch and q release.
Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for
the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq
needs to be freed when the io_cq is released. New field
io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose. As both the new
field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the
q/ioc_node fields aren't, they are put into unions.

Now that all io_cq related data structures are in block core layer,
io_cq lookup can be moved from cfq-iosched.c to blk-ioc.c.
Lookup logic from cfq_cic_lookup() is moved to ioc_lookup_icq() with
parameter return type changes (cfqd -> request_queue, cfq_io_cq ->
io_cq) and cfq_cic_lookup() becomes thin wrapper around
cfq_cic_lookup().

elevator_queue->ops points to the same ops struct ->elevator_type.ops
is pointing to. The only effect of caching it in elevator_queue is
shorter notation - it doesn't save any indirect derefence.
Relocate elevator_type->list which used only during module init/exit
to the end of the structure, rename elevator_queue->elevator_type to
->type, and replace elevator_queue->ops with elevator_queue->type.ops.
This doesn't introduce any functional difference.

When called under queue_lock, current_io_context() triggers lockdep
warning if it hits allocation path. This is because io_context
installation is protected by task_lock which is not IRQ safe, so it
triggers irq-unsafe-lock -> irq -> irq-safe-lock -> irq-unsafe-lock
deadlock warning.
Given the restriction, accessor + creator rolled into one doesn't work
too well. Drop current_io_context() and let the users access
task->io_context directly inside queue_lock combined with explicit
creation using create_io_context().
Future ioc updates will further consolidate ioc access and the create
interface will be unexported.
While at it, relocate ioc internal interface declarations in blk.h and
add section comments before and after.
This patch does not introduce functional change.

* blk_get_queue() is peculiar in that it returns 0 on success and 1 on
failure instead of 0 / -errno or boolean. Update it such that it
returns %true on success and %false on failure.
* Make sure the caller checks for the return value.
* Separate out __blk_get_queue() which doesn't check whether @q is
dead and put it in blk.h. This will be used later.

Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two
places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio(). The former is
always called from local task while the latter can be called from
different task. The synchornization between them are peculiar and
dubious.
* current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it
saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and
assignment is complete. It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and
assignment.
* set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does
smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if
(ioc)". Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter
is not a dependent load of the former. ie, if ioc itself were being
dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho)
but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is
noop.
As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock()
protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two.
Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating
its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's.
Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new
ioc after exit_io_context() is finished.
ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex. The only hot path
is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve
given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is
alive. All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all
other task sub structures without impacting anything.
This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional.
* alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context(). This is
the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task.
On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which
should be put using put_io_context() afterwards.
* The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when
creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with
get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock().
* get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the
caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit
%current one).
* PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once
exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc
acquisition functions return %NULL.
* All users are updated. Most are trivial but
smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a
bit of explanation. I suppose the original intention was to ensure
ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new
io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked
because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install.
There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another
patch.
* While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node
specification.

cfq allocates per-queue id using ida and uses it to index cic radix
tree from io_context. Move it to q->id and allocate on queue init and
free on queue release. This simplifies cfq a bit and will allow for

properly shutdown
request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime
management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer
expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no
new one will.
This is fundamentally broken. The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer)
doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before
calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any
guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a
reference.
With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the
following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with
in-flight IOs.

This happens because blk_queue_cleanup() destroys the queue and
elevator whether IOs are in progress or not and DEAD tests are
sprinkled in the request processing path without proper
synchronization.
Similar problem exists for blk-throtl. On queue cleanup, blk-throtl
is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not. Depending on
timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks
which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state.
The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between
shutdown and release. Shutdown drains all currently pending requests,
marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now
unnecessary part of the queue. Even after shutdown is complete,
reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue
although they will be immmediately failed. The rest of teardown
happens on release.
This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup()
behave as proper shutdown.
* QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and
queue_lock.
* Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed.
This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die
after the check.
* blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is
now called during cleanup.
* blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock,
drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is
released.

blk_throtl_bio() and throtl_get_tg() have rather unusual interface.
* throtl_get_tg() returns pointer to a valid tg or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV),
and drops queue_lock in the latter case. Different locking context
depending on return value is error-prone and DEAD state is scheduled
to be protected by queue_lock anyway. Move DEAD check inside
queue_lock and return valid tg or NULL.
* blk_throtl_bio() indicates return status both with its return value
and in/out param **@bio. The former is used to indicate whether
queue is found to be dead during throtl processing. The latter
whether the bio is throttled.
There's no point in returning DEAD check result from
blk_throtl_bio(). The queue can die after blk_throtl_bio() is
finished but before make_request_fn() grabs queue lock.
Make it take *@bio instead and return boolean result indicating
whether the request is throttled or not.

Commit ae1b1539622fb46e51b4d13b3f9e5f4c713f86ae, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA). The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:
static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
struct request *rq;
while (1) {
- while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+ if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
- if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
- (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
- return rq;
- rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
- if (rq)
- return rq;
+ return rq;
}
Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:
struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
REQ_FUA);
unsigned skip = 0;
...
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
if (!has_fua)
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
return rq;
}
So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).
Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.
The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.
In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.
I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.
Cheers,
Jeff

blk_cleanup_queue() calls elevator_exit() and after this, we can't
touch the elevator without oopsing. __elv_next_request() must check
for this state because in the refcounted queue model, we can still
call it after blk_cleanup_queue() has been called.
This was reported as causing an oops attributable to scsi.

Since for-2.6.40/core was forked off the 2.6.39 devel tree, we've
had churn in the core area that makes it difficult to handle
patches for eg cfq or blk-throttle. Instead of requiring that they
be based in older versions with bugs that have been fixed later
in the rc cycle, merge in 2.6.39 final.
Also fixes up conflicts in the below files.

We are currently using this flag to check whether it's safe
to call into ->request_fn(). If it is set, we punt to kblockd.
But we get a lot of false positives and excessive punts to
kblockd, which hurts performance.
The only real abuser of this infrastructure is SCSI. So export
the async queue run and convert SCSI over to use that. There's
room for improvement in that SCSI need not always use the async
call, but this fixes our performance issue and they can fix that
up in due time.

In some drives, flush requests are non-queueable. When flush request is
running, normal read/write requests can't run. If block layer dispatches
such request, driver can't handle it and requeue it. Tejun suggested we
can hold the queue when flush is running. This can avoid unnecessary
requeue. Also this can improve performance. For example, we have
request flush1, write1, flush 2. flush1 is dispatched, then queue is
hold, write1 isn't inserted to queue. After flush1 is finished, flush2
will be dispatched. Since disk cache is already clean, flush2 will be
finished very soon, so looks like flush2 is folded to flush1.
In my test, the queue holding completely solves a regression introduced by
commit 53d63e6b0dfb95882ec0219ba6bbd50cde423794:
block: make the flush insertion use the tail of the dispatch list
It's not a preempt type request, in fact we have to insert it
behind requests that do specify INSERT_FRONT.
which causes about 20% regression running a sysbench fileio
workload.

add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly. I've kept

One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.
Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
merging).
This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that
can be merged.

The current FLUSH/FUA support has evolved from the implementation
which had to perform queue draining. As such, sequencing is done
queue-wide one flush request after another. However, with the
draining requirement gone, there's no reason to keep the queue-wide
sequential approach.
This patch reimplements FLUSH/FUA support such that each FLUSH/FUA
request is sequenced individually. The actual FLUSH execution is
double buffered and whenever a request wants to execute one for either
PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues on the pending queue. Once certain
conditions are met, a flush request is issued and on its completion
all pending requests proceed to the next sequence.
This allows arbitrary merging of different type of flushes. How they
are merged can be primarily controlled and tuned by adjusting the
above said 'conditions' used to determine when to issue the next
flush.
This is inspired by Darrick's patches to merge multiple zero-data
flushes which helps workloads with highly concurrent fsync requests.
* As flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler, request fields
used for flush share space with rq->rb_node. rq->completion_data is
moved out of the union. This increases the request size by one
pointer.
As rq->elevator_private* are used only by the iosched too, it is
possible to reduce the request size further. However, to do that,
we need to modify request allocation path such that iosched data is
not allocated for flush requests.
* FLUSH/FUA processing happens on insertion now instead of dispatch.

rq == &q->flush_rq was used to determine whether a rq is part of a
flush sequence, which worked because all requests in a flush sequence
were sequenced using the single dedicated request. This is about to
change, so introduce REQ_FLUSH_SEQ flag to distinguish flush sequence
requests.
This patch doesn't cause any behavior change.

Now that the backend conversion is complete, export sequenced
FLUSH/FUA capability through REQ_FLUSH/FUA flags. REQ_FLUSH means the
device cache should be flushed before executing the request. REQ_FUA
means that the data in the request should be on non-volatile media on
completion.
Block layer will choose the correct way of implementing the semantics
and execute it. The request may be passed to the device directly if
the device can handle it; otherwise, it will be sequenced using one or
more proxy requests. Devices will never see REQ_FLUSH and/or FUA
which it doesn't support.
Also, unlike the original REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests are
never failed with -EOPNOTSUPP. If the underlying device doesn't
support FLUSH/FUA, the block layer simply make those noop. IOW, it no
longer distinguishes between writeback cache which doesn't support
cache flush and writethrough/no cache. Devices which have WB cache
w/o flush are very difficult to come by these days and there's nothing
much we can do anyway, so it doesn't make sense to require everyone to
implement -EOPNOTSUPP handling. This will simplify filesystems and
block drivers as they can drop -EOPNOTSUPP retry logic for barriers.
* QUEUE_ORDERED_* are removed and QUEUE_FSEQ_* are moved into
blk-flush.c.
* REQ_FLUSH w/o data can also be directly passed to drivers without
sequencing but some drivers assume that zero length requests don't
have rq->bio which isn't true for these requests requiring the use
of proxy requests.
* REQ_COMMON_MASK now includes REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA so that they are
copied from bio to request.
* WRITE_BARRIER is marked deprecated and WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA and
WRITE_FLUSH_FUA are added.

Filesystems will take all the responsibilities for ordering requests
around commit writes and will only indicate how the commit writes
themselves should be handled by block layers. This patch drops
barrier ordering by queue draining from block layer. Ordering by
draining implementation was somewhat invasive to request handling.
List of notable changes follow.
* Each queue has 1 bit color which is flipped on each barrier issue.
This is used to track whether a given request is issued before the
current barrier or not. REQ_ORDERED_COLOR flag and coloring
implementation in __elv_add_request() are removed.
* Requests which shouldn't be processed yet for draining were stalled
by returning -EAGAIN from blk_do_ordered() according to the test
result between blk_ordered_req_seq() and blk_blk_ordered_cur_seq().
This logic is removed.
* Draining completion logic in elv_completed_request() removed.
* All barrier sequence requests were queued to request queue and then
trckled to lower layer according to progress and thus maintaining
request orders during requeue was necessary. This is replaced by
queueing the next request in the barrier sequence only after the
current one is complete from blk_ordered_complete_seq(), which
removes the need for multiple proxy requests in struct request_queue
and the request sorting logic in the ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE path of
elv_insert().
* As barriers no longer have ordering constraints, there's no need to
dump the whole elevator onto the dispatch queue on each barrier.
Insert barriers at the front instead.
* If other barrier requests come to the front of the dispatch queue
while one is already in progress, they are stored in
q->pending_barriers and restored to dispatch queue one-by-one after
each barrier completion from blk_ordered_complete_seq().

Make the following cleanups in preparation of barrier/flush update.
* blk_do_ordered() declaration is moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to
block/blk.h.
* blk_do_ordered() now returns pointer to struct request, with %NULL
meaning "try the next request" and ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) "try again
later". The third case will be dropped with further changes.
* In the initialization of proxy barrier request, data direction is
already set by init_request_from_bio(). Drop unnecessary explicit
REQ_WRITE setting and move init_request_from_bio() above REQ_FUA
flag setting.
* add_request() is collapsed into __make_request().
These changes don't make any functional difference.

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.
The detailed root cause is as follows.
Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.
1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
is 0 and sda2's one is 1.
| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | 0
sda2 | 1
---------------------------
2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.
| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | 0
sda2 | 1
---------------------------
3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.
| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | -1
sda2 | 1
---------------------------
The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.
When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no
request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe
to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted
again.

While testing CPU DLPAR, the following problem was discovered.
We were DLPAR removing the first CPU, which in this case was
logical CPUs 0-3. CPUs 0-2 were already marked offline and
we were in the process of offlining CPU 3. After marking
the CPU inactive and offline in cpu_disable, but before the
cpu was completely idle (cpu_die), we ended up in __make_request
on CPU 3. There we looked at the topology map to see which CPU
to complete the I/O on and found no CPUs in the cpu_sibling_map.
This resulted in the block layer setting the completion cpu
to be NR_CPUS, which then caused an oops when we tried to
complete the I/O.
Fix this by sanity checking the value we return from blk_cpu_to_group
to be a valid cpu value.

Failfast has characteristics from other attributes. When issuing,
executing and successuflly completing requests, failfast doesn't make
any difference. It only affects how a request is handled on failure.
Allowing requests with different failfast settings to be merged cause
normal IOs to fail prematurely while not allowing has performance
penalties as failfast is used for read aheads which are likely to be
located near in-flight or to-be-issued normal IOs.
This patch introduces the concept of 'mixed merge'. A request is a
mixed merge if it is merge of segments which require different
handling on failure. Currently the only mixable attributes are
failfast ones (or lack thereof).
When a bio with different failfast settings is added to an existing
request or requests of different failfast settings are merged, the
merged request is marked mixed. Each bio carries failfast settings
and the request always tracks failfast state of the first bio. When
the request fails, blk_rq_err_bytes() can be used to determine how
many bytes can be safely failed without crossing into an area which
requires further retrials.
This allows request merging regardless of failfast settings while
keeping the failure handling correct.
This patch only implements mixed merge but doesn't enable it. The
next one will update SCSI to make use of mixed merge.

The commit below in 2.6-block/for-2.6.31 causes no diskstat problem
because the blk_discard_rq() check was added with '&&'.
It should be 'blk_fs_request() || blk_discard_rq()'.
This patch does it and fixes the no diskstat problem.
Please review and apply.

block: include discard requests in IO accounting
We currently don't do merging on discard requests, but we potentially
could. If we do, then we need to include discard requests in the IO
accounting, or merging would end up decrementing in_flight IO counters
for an IO which never incremented them.
So enable accounting for discard requests.

static inline int blk_do_io_stat(struct request *rq)
{
- return rq->rq_disk && blk_rq_io_stat(rq) && blk_fs_request(rq);
+ return rq->rq_disk && blk_rq_io_stat(rq) && blk_fs_request(rq) &&
+ blk_discard_rq(rq);
}

OSD was the last in-tree user of blk_rq_append_bio(). Now
that it is fixed blk_rq_append_bio is un-exported and
is only used internally by block layer.

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.
[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

struct request has had a few different ways to represent some
properties of a request. ->hard_* represent block layer's view of the
request progress (completion cursor) and the ones without the prefix
are supposed to represent the issue cursor and allowed to be updated
as necessary by the low level drivers. The thing is that as block
layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't
necessary and only cause confusion. In addition, manual management of
request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at
the very least.
Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and
rq->bio->bi_size. This is more convoluted than the hard_ case.
rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but
blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests. rq->data_len is
initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc
requests. This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer
and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of
black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and
what the specific LLD is actually doing.
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in
the contiguous data area at the front. This is mainly used by drivers
which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment. This
value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9. However, data length for
pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field
becomes a bit confusing.
In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property
leads only to confusion and subtle bugs. With recent block low level
driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these
duplicate fields directly. Drop all the duplicates. Now rq->sector
means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and
rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length. Everything else is
defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors.
* blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and
now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update.
This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no
in-kernel user yet tho).
* bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer
now uses byte count as the primary data length.
* blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct. In-block users
converted.
* blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is
blk_rq_sectors(). In-block users converted.
* blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9.
More convenient one is used.
* blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const
pointer to request.
