Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the first pull request for 4.14, containing most of the code
  changes. It's a quiet series this round, which I think we needed after
  the churn of the last few series. This contains:

   - Fix for a registration race in loop, from Anton Volkov.

   - Overflow complaint fix from Arnd for DAC960.

   - Series of drbd changes from the usual suspects.

   - Conversion of the stec/skd driver to blk-mq. From Bart.

   - A few BFQ improvements/fixes from Paolo.

   - CFQ improvement from Ritesh, allowing idling for group idle.

   - A few fixes found by Dan's smatch, courtesy of Dan.

   - A warning fixup for a race between changing the IO scheduler and
     device remova. From David Jeffery.

   - A few nbd fixes from Josef.

   - Support for cgroup info in blktrace, from Shaohua.

   - Also from Shaohua, new features in the null_blk driver to allow it
     to actually hold data, among other things.

   - Various corner cases and error handling fixes from Weiping Zhang.

   - Improvements to the IO stats tracking for blk-mq from me. Can
     drastically improve performance for fast devices and/or big
     machines.

   - Series from Christoph removing bi_bdev as being needed for IO
     submission, in preparation for nvme multipathing code.

   - Series from Bart, including various cleanups and fixes for switch
     fall through case complaints"

74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

2a842acab1 block: introduce new block status code type
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Instead use the special DM_MAPIO_KILL return value to return -EIO just
like we do for the request based path.  Note that dm-log-writes returned
-ENOMEM in a few places, which now becomes -EIO instead.  No consumer
treats -ENOMEM special so this shouldn't be an issue (and it should
use a mempool to start with to make guaranteed progress).

only clear MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH in queue_if_no_path() if no_flush has

also that m->lock does not have to be taken in the hot path.

7083abbbfc dm mpath: avoid that path removal can trigger an infinite loop
If blk_get_request() fails, check whether the failure is due to a path
being removed.  If that is the case, fail the path by triggering a call
to fail_path().  This avoids that the following scenario can be
encountered while removing paths:
* CPU usage of a kworker thread jumps to 100%.
* Removing the DM device becomes impossible.

Delay requeueing if blk_get_request() returns -EBUSY or -EWOULDBLOCK,
and the queue is not dying, because in these cases immediate requeuing
is inappropriate.

06eb061f48 dm mpath: requeue after a small delay if blk_get_request() fails
If blk_get_request() returns ENODEV then multipath_clone_and_map()

Avoid this by only requeuing after a delay if blk_get_request() fails.
Additionally, reduce the requeue delay.

DM already calls blk_mq_alloc_request on the request_queue of the
underlying device if it is a blk-mq device.  But now that we allow drivers
to allocate additional data and initialize it ahead of time we need to do
the same for all drivers.   Doing so and using the new cmd_size
infrastructure in the block layer greatly simplifies the dm-rq and mpath
code, and should also make arbitrary combinations of SQ and MQ devices
with SQ or MQ device mapper tables easily possible as a further step.

8ff232c1a8 dm mpath: always return reservation conflict without failing over
If dm-mpath encounters an reservation conflict it should not fail the
path (as communication with the target is not affected) but should
rather retry on another path.  However, in doing so we might be inducing
a ping-pong between paths, with no guarantee of any forward progress.
And arguably a reservation conflict is an unexpected error, so we should
be passing it upwards to allow the application to take appropriate
steps.

This change resolves a show-stopper problem seen with the pNFS SCSI
layout because it is trivial to hit reservation conflict based failover
loops without it.

Doubts were raised about the implications of this change relative to
products like IBM's SVC.  But there is little point withholding a fix
for Linux because a proprietary product may or may not have some issues
in its implementation of how it interfaces with Linux.  In the future,
if there is glaring evidence that this change is certainly problematic
we can revisit it.

b88efd43f9 dm mpath: delay the requeue of blk-mq requests while all paths down
Return DM_MAPIO_DELAY_REQUEUE from .clone_and_map_rq.  Also, return
false from .busy, if all paths are down, so that blk-mq requests get
mapped via .clone_and_map_rq -- which results in DM_MAPIO_DELAY_REQUEUE
being returned to dm-rq.

This change allows for a noticeable reduction in cpu utilization
(reduced kworker load) while all paths are down, e.g.:

system CPU idleness (as measured by fio's --idle-prof=system):
before: system: 86.58%
after:  system: 98.60%

7e48c768f4 dm mpath: use dm_mq_kick_requeue_list()
When reinstating a path the blk-mq request_queue's requeue_list should
get kicked.  It makes sense to kick the requeue_list as part of the
existing hook (previously only used by bio-based support).

Rename process_queued_bios_list to process_queued_io_list.

f10e06b744 dm mpath: check if path's request_queue is dying in activate_path()
If pg_init_retries is set and a request is queued against a multipath
device with all underlying block device request_queues in the "dying"
state then an infinite loop is triggered because activate_path() never
succeeds and hence never calls pg_init_done().

This change avoids that device removal triggers an infinite loop by
failing the activate_path() which causes the "dying" path to be failed.

1eff9d322a block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf
Since commit 63a4cc2486, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

e83068a5fa dm mpath: add optional "queue_mode" feature
Allow a user to specify an optional feature 'queue_mode <mode>' where
<mode> may be "bio", "rq" or "mq" -- which corresponds to bio-based,
request_fn rq-based, and blk-mq rq-based respectively.

If the queue_mode feature isn't specified the default for the
"multipath" target is still "rq" but if dm_mod.use_blk_mq is set to Y
it'll default to mode "mq".

This new queue_mode feature introduces the ability for each multipath
device to have its own queue_mode (whereas before this feature all
multipath devices effectively had to have the same queue_mode).

This commit also goes a long way to eliminate the awkward (ab)use of
DM_TYPE_*, the associated filter_md_type() and other relatively fragile
and difficult to maintain code.

76e33fe4e2 dm mpath: reinstate bio-based support
Add "multipath-bio" target that offers a bio-based multipath target as
an alternative to the request-based "multipath" target -- but in a
following commit "multipath-bio" will immediately be replaced by a new
"queue_mode" feature for the "multipath" target which will allow
bio-based mode to be selected.

When DM multipath was originally converted from bio-based to
request-based the motivation for the change was better dynamic load
balancing (by leveraging block core's request-based IO schedulers, for
merging and sorting, _before_ DM multipath would make the decision on
where to steer the IO -- based on path load and/or availability).

More background is available in this "Request-based Device-mapper
multipath and Dynamic load balancing" paper:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2007/ols2007v2-pages-235-244.pdf

But we've now come full circle where significantly faster storage
devices no longer need IOs to be made larger to drive optimal IO
performance.  And even if they do there have been changes to the block
and filesystem layers that help ensure upper layers are constructing
larger IOs.  In addition, SCSI's differentiated IO errors will propagate
through to bio-based IO completion hooks -- so that eliminates another
historic justiciation for request-based DM multipath.  Lastly, the block
layer's immutable biovec changes have made bio cloning cheaper than it
has ever been; whereas request cloning is still relatively expensive
(both on a CPU usage and memory footprint level).

As such, bio-based DM multipath offers the promise of a more efficient
IO path for high IOPs devices that are, or will be, emerging.

'struct mapped_device' and other DM core only structures and functions
have been moved to dm-core.h and all relevant DM core .c files have been
updated to include dm-core.h rather than dm.h

DM targets should _never_ include dm-core.h!

2da1610ae2 dm mpath: eliminate use of spinlock in IO fast-paths
The primary motivation of this commit is to improve the scalability of
DM multipath on large NUMA systems where m->lock spinlock contention has
been proven to be a serious bottleneck on really fast storage.

The ability to atomically read a pointer, using lockless_dereference(),
is leveraged in this commit.  But all pointer writes are still protected
by the m->lock spinlock (which is fine since these all now occur in the
slow-path).

The following functions no longer require the m->lock spinlock in their
fast-path: multipath_busy(), __multipath_map(), and do_end_io()

And choose_pgpath() is modified to _not_ update m->current_pgpath unless
it also switches the path-group.  This is done to avoid needing to take
the m->lock everytime __multipath_map() calls choose_pgpath().
But m->current_pgpath will be reset if it is failed via fail_path().
