Commit ca369d51b ("sd: Fix device-imposed transfer length limits")
introduced a new queue limit max_dev_sectors which limits the maximum
sectors for requests. The default value leads to small dasd requests
and therefor to a performance drop.
Set the max_dev_sectors value to the same value as the max_hw_sectors
to use the maximum available request size for DASD devices.

Enabling failfast should let request fail immediately if either an
error occurred or the device gets disconnected.
For disconnected devices new requests are not fetches from the block
queue and therefore failfast is not triggered.
Fix by letting the DASD driver fetch requests for disconnected devices
with failfast active.

We were able to reduce the CPU overhead of big paging scenarios
when announcing our paging disks as non-rotational.
Almost all dasd devices are implemented in storage servers with
cache, raid, striping and lots of magic. There is no point in
optimizing the disk schedulers and swap code for a single platter
moving arm rotational disks. Given the complexity of the setup
and the fact that this change is mostly to disable the additional
overhead in swap code, lets keep the other functionality unchanged
and do not disable the this device as entropy source - unlike other
non-rotational devices.

The dasd device driver selects which (alias or base) device is used
for a given requests when the request is build. If the chosen alias
device is set offline before the request gets queued to the device
queue the starting function may use device structures that are
already freed. This might lead to a hanging offline process or a
kernel panic.
Add a check to the starting function that returns the request to the
upper layer if the device is already in offline processing.
In addition to that prevent that an alias device that's already in
offline processing gets chosen as start device.

Whenever a DASD request encounters a timeout we might
need to abort all outstanding requests on this or
even other devices.
This is especially useful if one wants to fail all
devices on one side of a RAID10 configuration, even
though only one device exhibited an error.
To handle this I've introduced a new device flag
DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO.
This flag is evaluated in __dasd_process_request_queue()
and will invoke blk_abort_request() for all
outstanding requests with DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST set.
This will cause any of these requests to be aborted
immediately if the blk_timeout function is activated.
The DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is also evaluated in
__dasd_process_request_queue to abort all
new request which would have the
DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST bit set.
The flag can be set with the new ioctls 'BIODASDABORTIO'
and removed with 'BIODASDALLOWIO'.

Originally the DASD device tasklet would process the entries on
the ccw_queue until the first non-final request was found.
Which was okay as long as all requests have the same retries and
expires parameter.
However, as we're now allowing to modify both it is possible to
have requests _after_ the first request which already have expired.
So we need to check all requests in the device tasklet.

When a path is gone and dasd_generic_path_event is called with a
PE_PATH_GONE event, we must assume that any I/O request on that
subchannel is still running. This is unlike the dasd_generic_notify
handler and the CIO_NO_PATH event, which implies that the subchannel
has been cleared.
If dasd_generic_path_event finds that the path has been the last
usable path, it must not call dasd_generic_last_path_gone (which would
reset the state of running requests), but just set the
