b5420237ec mm: refactor readahead defines in mm.h
All users of VM_MAX_READAHEAD actually convert it to kbytes and then to
pages. Define the macro explicitly as (SZ_128K / PAGE_SIZE). This
simplifies the expression in every filesystem. Also rename the macro to
VM_READAHEAD_PAGES to properly convey its meaning. Finally remove unused
VM_MIN_READAHEAD

92fff53b71 SCSI misc on 20190306
This is mostly update of the usual drivers: arcmsr, qla2xxx, lpfc,
 hisi_sas, target/iscsi and target/core.  Additionally Christoph
 refactored gdth as part of the dma changes.  The major mid-layer
 change this time is the removal of bidi commands and with them the
 whole of the osd/exofs driver and filesystem.

Pull io_uring IO interface from Jens Axboe:
 "Second attempt at adding the io_uring interface.

  Since the first one, we've added basic unit testing of the three
  system calls, that resides in liburing like the other unit tests that
  we have so far. It'll take a while to get full coverage of it, but
  we're working towards it. I've also added two basic test programs to
  tools/io_uring. One uses the raw interface and has support for all the
  various features that io_uring supports outside of standard IO, like
  fixed files, fixed IO buffers, and polled IO. The other uses the
  liburing API, and is a simplified version of cp(1).

  This adds support for a new IO interface, io_uring.

  io_uring allows an application to communicate with the kernel through
  two rings, the submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) ring.
  This allows for very efficient handling of IOs, see the v5 posting for
  some basic numbers:

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20190116175003.17880-1-axboe@kernel.dk/

  Outside of just efficiency, the interface is also flexible and
  extendable, and allows for future use cases like the upcoming NVMe
  key-value store API, networked IO, and so on. It also supports async
  buffered IO, something that we've always failed to support in the
  kernel.

  Outside of basic IO features, it supports async polled IO as well.
  This particular feature has already been tested at Facebook months ago
  for flash storage boxes, with 25-33% improvements. It makes polled IO
  actually useful for real world use cases, where even basic flash sees
  a nice win in terms of efficiency, latency, and performance. These
  boxes were IOPS bound before, now they are not.

  This series adds three new system calls. One for setting up an
  io_uring instance (io_uring_setup(2)), one for submitting/completing
  IO (io_uring_enter(2)), and one for aux functions like registrating
  file sets, buffers, etc (io_uring_register(2)). Through the help of
  Arnd, I've coordinated the syscall numbers so merge on that front
  should be painless.

  Jon did a writeup of the interface a while back, which (except for
  minor details that have been tweaked) is still accurate. Find that
  here:

    https://lwn.net/Articles/776703/

  Huge thanks to Al Viro for helping getting the reference cycle code
  correct, and to Jann Horn for his extensive reviews focused on both
  security and bugs in general.

  There's a userspace library that provides basic functionality for
  applications that don't need or want to care about how to fiddle with
  the rings directly. It has helpers to allow applications to easily set
  up an io_uring instance, and submit/complete IO through it without
  knowing about the intricacies of the rings. It also includes man pages
  (thanks to Jeff Moyer), and will continue to grow support helper
  functions and features as time progresses. Find it here:

    git://git.kernel.dk/liburing

  Fio has full support for the raw interface, both in the form of an IO
  engine (io_uring), but also with a small test application (t/io_uring)
  that can exercise and benchmark the interface"

aaeee62c84 block: fix updating bio's front segment size
When the current bvec can be merged to the 1st segment, the bio's front
segment size has to be updated.

However, dcebd75592 doesn't consider that case, then bio's front
segment size may not be correct.

This patch fixes this issue.

6d0c48aede block: implement bio helper to add iter bvec pages to bio
For an ITER_BVEC, we can just iterate the iov and add the pages
to the bio directly. For now, we grab a reference to those pages,
and release them normally on IO completion. This isn't really needed
for the normal case of O_DIRECT from/to a file, but some of the more
esoteric use cases (like splice(2)) will unconditionally put the
pipe buffer pages when the buffers are released. Until we can manage
that case properly, ITER_BVEC pages are treated like normal pages
in terms of reference counting.

8f4e80da76 block: bounce: make sure that bvec table is updated
Block bounce needs to allocate new page for doing IO, and the
new page has to be updated to bvec table.

Commit 6dc4f100c switches __blk_queue_bounce() to use the new
bio_for_each_segment_all() interface. Unfortunately the new
bio_for_each_segment_all() can't be used to update bvec table.

This patch fixes this issue by retrieving bvec from the table
directly, then the new allocated page can be updated to the bio.
This way is safe because the cloned bio is single page bvec.

2705c93742 block: kill QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE
Since bdced438ac ("block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting"),
physical segment number is mainly figured out in blk_queue_split() for
fast path, and the flag of BIO_SEG_VALID is set there too.

Now only blk_recount_segments() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() use this
flag.

Basically blk_recount_segments() is bypassed in fast path given BIO_SEG_VALID
is set in blk_queue_split().

For another user of blk_recalc_rq_segments():

- run in partial completion branch of blk_update_request, which is an unusual case

- run in blk_cloned_rq_check_limits(), still not a big problem if the flag is killed
since dm-rq is the only user.

Multi-page bvec is enabled now, not doing S/G merging is rather pointless with the
current setup of the I/O path, as it isn't going to save you a significant amount
of cycles.

This patch introduces one extra iterator variable to bio_for_each_segment_all(),
then we can allow bio_for_each_segment_all() to iterate over multi-page bvec.

Given it is just one mechannical & simple change on all bio_for_each_segment_all()
users, this patch does tree-wide change in one single patch, so that we can
avoid to use a temporary helper for this conversion.

dcebd75592 block: use bio_for_each_bvec() to compute multi-page bvec count
First it is more efficient to use bio_for_each_bvec() in both
blk_bio_segment_split() and __blk_recalc_rq_segments() to compute how
many multi-page bvecs there are in the bio.

Secondly once bio_for_each_bvec() is used, the bvec may need to be
splitted because its length can be very longer than max segment size,
so we have to split the big bvec into several segments.

Thirdly when splitting multi-page bvec into segments, the max segment
limit may be reached, so the bio split need to be considered under
this situation too.

It is wrong to use bio->bi_vcnt to figure out how many segments

because this bio may be splitted or advanced.

So always use bio_segments() in blk_recount_segments(), and it shouldn't

aef1897cd3 blk-mq: insert rq with DONTPREP to hctx dispatch list when requeue
When requeue, if RQF_DONTPREP, rq has contained some driver
specific data, so insert it to hctx dispatch list to avoid any
merge. Take scsi as example, here is the trace event log (no
io scheduler, because RQF_STARTED would prevent merging),

   kworker/0:1H-339   [000] ...1  2037.209289: block_rq_insert: 8,0 R 4096 () 32768 + 8 [kworker/0:1H]

scsi_inert_test-1986  [000] ..s1  2047.221119: block_rq_complete: 8,0 R () 32776 + 8 [0]

(32768 + 8) was requeued by scsi_queue_insert and had RQF_DONTPREP.
Then it was merged with (32776 + 8) and issued. Due to RQF_DONTPREP,
the sdb only contained the part of (32768 + 8), then only that part
was completed. The lucky thing was that scsi_io_completion detected
it and requeued the remaining part. So we didn't get corrupted data.
However, the requeue of (32776 + 8) is not expected.

The ->inflight counter may be negative (-1) if

1) blk-iolatency was disabled when the IO was issued,

2) blk-iolatency was enabled before this IO reached its endio,

3) the ->inflight counter is decreased from 0 to -1 in endio()

In fact the hang can be easily reproduced by the below script,

H=/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/
P=/sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test

echo "+io" > $H/cgroup.subtree_control
mkdir -p $P

echo $$ > $P/cgroup.procs

xfs_io -f -d -c "pwrite 0 4k" /dev/sdg

echo "`cat /sys/block/sdg/dev` target=1000000" > $P/io.latency

xfs_io -f -d -c "pwrite 0 4k" /dev/sdg

This fixes the problem by freezing the queue so that while
enabling/disabling iolatency, there is no inflight rq running.

Note that quiesce_queue is not needed as this only updating iolatency
configuration about which dispatching request_queue doesn't care.

map swqueues and use it directly with ctx->hctxs[type].

058fdecc6d block, bfq: fix in-service-queue check for queue merging
When a new I/O request arrives for a bfq_queue, say Q, bfq checks
whether that request is close to
(a) the head request of some other queue waiting to be served, or
(b) the last request dispatched for the in-service queue (in case Q
itself is not the in-service queue)

If a queue, say Q2, is found for which the above condition holds, then
bfq merges Q and Q2, to hopefully get a more sequential I/O in the
resulting merged queue, and thus a possibly higher throughput.

Case (b) is checked by comparing the new request for Q with the last
request dispatched, assuming that the latter necessarily belonged to the
in-service queue. Unfortunately, this assumption is no longer always
correct, since commit d0edc2473b ("block, bfq: inject other-queue I/O
into seeky idle queues on NCQ flash").

When the assumption does not hold, queues that must not be merged may be
merged, causing unexpected loss of control on per-queue service
guarantees.

This commit solves this problem by adding an extra field, which stores
the actual last request dispatched for the in-service queue, and by
using this new field to correctly check case (b).

02a6d787f4 block, bfq: do not overcharge writes in asymmetric scenarios
Writes tend to starve reads. bfq counters this problem by overcharging
writes with an inflated service w.r.t. the actual service (number of
sector written) they receive.

Yet his overcharging is useless, and actually causes unfairness in the
opposite direction, when bfq happens to be enforcing strong I/O control.
bfq does this enforcing when the scenario is asymmetric, i.e., when some
bfq_queue or group of bfq_queues is to be granted a different bandwidth
than some other bfq_queue or group of bfq_queues. So, in such a
scenario, this commit disables write overcharging.

b3c3498112 block, bfq: port commit "cfq-iosched: improve hw_tag detection"
The original commit is commit 1a1238a7dd ("cfq-iosched: improve hw_tag
detection") and has the following commit message:

If active queue hasn't enough requests and idle window opens, cfq will
not dispatch sufficient requests to hardware. In such situation, current
code will zero hw_tag. But this is because cfq doesn't dispatch enough
requests instead of hardware queue doesn't work. Don't zero hw_tag in
such case.

a3c9256032 block, bfq: reduce threshold for detecting command queueing
bfq simple heuristic from cfq for detecting whether the drive performs
command queueing: check whether the average number of in-flight requests
is above a given threshold. Unfortunately this heuristic does fail to
detect queueing (on drives with queueing) if processes doing I/O are few
and issue I/O with a low depth.

To reduce false negatives, this commit lowers the threshold.

9dee8b3b05 block, bfq: fix queue removal from weights tree
bfq maintains an ordered list, through a red-black tree, of unique
weights of active bfq_queues. This list is used to detect whether there
are active queues with differentiated weights. The weight of a queue is
removed from the list when both the following two conditions become
true:

(1) the bfq_queue is flagged as inactive
(2) the has no in-flight request any longer;

Unfortunately, in the rare cases where condition (2) becomes true before
condition (1), the removal fails, because the function to remove the
weight of the queue (bfq_weights_tree_remove) is rightly invoked in the
path that deactivates the bfq_queue, but mistakenly invoked *before* the
function that actually performs the deactivation (bfq_deactivate_bfqq).

This commits moves the invocation of bfq_weights_tree_remove for
condition (1) to after bfq_deactivate_bfqq. As a consequence of this
move, it is necessary to add a further reference to the queue when the
weight of a queue is added, because the queue might otherwise be freed
before bfq_weights_tree_remove is invoked. This commit adds this
reference and makes all related modifications.

d87447d84f block, bfq: fix sequential rq detection in rate estimation
In bfq_update_peak_rate, to check whether an I/O request rq is
sequential, only the seek distance of rq w.r.t. the last request
dispatched is controlled. This is not sufficient for non-rotational
storage, where the size of rq is at least as relevant. This commit adds
the missing control.

530c4cbb3c block, bfq: unconditionally plug I/O in asymmetric scenarios
bfq detects the creation of multiple bfq_queues shortly after each
other, namely a burst of queue creations in the terminology used in the
code. If the burst is large, then no queue in the burst is granted
- either I/O-dispatch plugging when the queue remains temporarily idle
  while in service;
- or weight raising, because it causes even longer plugging.

In fact, such a plugging tends to lower throughput, while these bursts
are typically due to applications or services that spawn multiple
processes, to reach a common goal as soon as possible. Examples are a
"git grep" or the booting of a system.

Unfortunately, disabling plugging may cause a loss of service guarantees
in asymmetric scenarios, i.e., if queue weights are differentiated or if
more than one group is active.

This commit addresses this issue by no longer disabling I/O-dispatch
plugging for queues in large bursts.

ac8b0cb415 block, bfq: do not plug I/O of in-service queue when harmful
If the in-service bfq_queue is sync and remains temporarily idle, then
I/O dispatching (from other queues) may be plugged. It may be dome for
two reasons: either to boost throughput, or to preserve the bandwidth
share of the in-service queue. In the first case, if the I/O of the
in-service queue, when it finally arrives, consists only of one small
I/O request, then it makes sense to plug even the I/O of the in-service
queue. In fact, serving such a small request immediately is likely to
lower throughput instead of boosting it, whereas waiting a little bit is
likely to let that request grow, thanks to request merging, and become
more profitable in terms of throughput (this is likely to happen exactly
because the I/O of the queue has been detected to boost throughput).

On the opposite end, if I/O dispatching is being plugged only to
preserve the bandwidth of the in-service queue, then it would be better
not to plug also the I/O of the in-service queue, because such a
plugging is likely to cause only loss of bandwidth for the queue.

Unfortunately, no distinction is made between the two cases, and the I/O
of the in-service queue is always plugged in case just a small I/O
request arrives. This commit draws this missing distinction and does not
perform harmful plugging.

05c2f5c30b block, bfq: split function bfq_better_to_idle
This is a preparatory commit for commits that need to check only one of
the two main reasons for idling. This change should also improve the
quality of the code a little bit, by splitting a function that contains
very long, non-trivial and little related comments.
