Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
- Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
From Paolo.
- Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.
- A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
times, solving various problems with hot removal.
- A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
device.
- A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.
- A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
more than a decade.
- Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.
- blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
marked experimental for now.
- Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
IO.
- A few fixes for opal, from Scott.
- A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.
- A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from
the blk-mq debugfs support.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also
shrinks the size of struct request a bit.
- Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph. The former was
never used by platforms, and the latter has outlived it's usefulness.
- Various little bug fixes and cleanups from a wide variety of folks.

mtip32xx supposes that 'request_idx' passed to .init_request()
is tag of the request, and use that as request's tag to initialize
command header.
After MQ IO scheduler is in, request tag assigned isn't same with
the request index anymore, so cause strange hardware failure on
mtip32xx, even whole system panic is triggered.
This patch fixes the issue by initializing command header via
request's real tag.

The recent introduced MQ IO scheduler breaks mtip32xx in the
following way.
mtip32xx use the 'request_index' passed to .init_request() as
hardware tag index for initializing hardware queue, and it
actually require that rq->tag is always same with 'request_index'
passed to .init_request(). Current blk-mq IO scheduler can't
guarantee this point, so this patch passes BLK_MQ_F_NO_SCHED
and at least make mtip32xx working.
This patch fixes the following strange hardware failure. The
issue can be triggered easily when doing I/O with mq-deadline
enabled.

Fix bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188531. In function
mtip_block_initialize(), variable rv takes the return value, and its
value should be negative on errors. rv is initialized as 0 and is not
reset when the call to ida_pre_get() fails. So 0 may be returned.
The return value 0 indicates that there is no error, which may be
inconsistent with the execution status. This patch fixes the bug by
explicitly assigning -ENOMEM to rv on the branch that ida_pre_get()
fails.

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

Hi,
After commit f70ced0917 (blk-mq: support per-distpatch_queue flush
machinery), the mtip32xx driver may oops upon module load due to walking
off the end of an array in mtip_init_cmd. On initialization of the
flush_rq, init_request is called with request_index >= the maximum queue
depth the driver supports. For mtip32xx, this value is used to index
into an array. What this means is that the driver will walk off the end
of the array, and either oops or cause random memory corruption.
The problem is easily reproduced by doing modprobe/rmmod of the mtip32xx
driver in a loop. I can typically reproduce the problem in about 30
seconds.
Now, in the case of mtip32xx, it actually doesn't support flush/fua, so
I think we can simply return without doing anything. In addition, no
other mq-enabled driver does anything with the request_index passed into
init_request(), so no other driver is affected. However, I'm not really
sure what is expected of drivers. Ming, what did you envision drivers
would do when initializing the flush requests?

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.

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"
sources.

Now that we've changed the driver API on the submission side use the
opportunity to fix up the name on the completion side to fit into the
general scheme.

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.
