Update scsi_io_completion() such that it only fails requests till the
next error boundary and retry the leftover. This enables block layer
to merge requests with different failfast settings and still behave
correctly on errors. Allow merge of requests of different failfast
settings.
As SCSI is currently the only subsystem which follows failfast status,
there's no need to worry about other block drivers for now.

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.

bio and request use the same set of failfast bits. This patch makes
the following changes to simplify things.
* enumify BIO_RW* bits and reorder bits such that BIOS_RW_FAILFAST_*
bits coincide with __REQ_FAILFAST_* bits.
* The above pushes BIO_RW_AHEAD out of sync with __REQ_FAILFAST_DEV
but the matching is useless anyway. init_request_from_bio() is
responsible for setting FAILFAST bits on FS requests and non-FS
requests never use BIO_RW_AHEAD. Drop the code and comment from
blk_rq_bio_prep().
* Define REQ_FAILFAST_MASK which is OR of all FAILFAST bits and
simplify FAILFAST flags handling in init_request_from_bio().

The patch "block: Use accessor functions for queue limits"
(ae03bf639a) changed queue_max_sectors_store()
to use blk_queue_max_sectors() instead of directly assigning the value.
But blk_queue_max_sectors() differs a bit
1. It sets both max_sectors_kb, and max_hw_sectors_kb
2. Never allows one to change max_sectors_kb above BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. If one
specifies a value greater then max_hw_sectors is set to that value but
max_sectors is set to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS
I am not sure whether blk_queue_max_sectors() should be changed, as it seems
to be that way for a long time. And there may be callers dependent on that
behaviour.
This patch simply reverts to the older way of directly assigning the value to
max_sectors as it was before.

Commit ab0fd1debe tries to prevent merge

it compares new bio's failfast flags against the merge target
request's. However, the flag testing accessors for bio and blk don't
return boolean but the tested bit value directly and FAILFAST on bio

false negative unnecessary preventing merge of readahead requests.

Block layer used to merge requests and bios with different failfast
settings. This caused regular IOs to fail prematurely when they were
merged into failfast requests for readahead.
Niel Lambrechts could trigger the problem semi-reliably on ext4 when
resuming from STR. ext4 uses readahead when reading inodes and
combined with the deterministic extra SATA PHY exception cycle during
resume on the specific configuration, non-readahead inode read would
fail causing ext4 errors. Please read the following thread for
details.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/23/21
This patch makes block layer reject merging if the failfast settings
don't match. This is correct but likely to lower IO performance by
preventing regular IOs from mingling into surrounding readahead
requests. Changes to allow such mixed merges and handle errors

On cfqq lookup, always try to allocate a new cfqq if the given cfq io
context has the oom_cfqq assigned. This ensures that we only temporarily
punt to this shared queue.

This patch adds the following 2 interfaces for request-stacking drivers:
- blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *clone, struct request *orig,
struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask,
int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio*, void *),
void *data)
* Clones bios in the original request to the clone request
(bio_ctr is called for each cloned bios.)
* Copies attributes of the original request to the clone request.
The actual data parts (e.g. ->cmd, ->buffer, ->sense) are not
copied.
- blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *clone)
* Frees cloned bios from the clone request.
Request stacking drivers (e.g. request-based dm) need to make a clone
request for a submitted request and dispatch it to other devices.
To allocate request for the clone, request stacking drivers may not
be able to use blk_get_request() because the allocation may be done
in an irq-disabled context.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a request allocated by the caller
as an argument.
For each clone bio in the clone request, request stacking drivers
should be able to set up their own completion handler.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a callback function which is called
for each clone bio, and a pointer for private data which is passed
to the callback.
NOTE:
blk_rq_prep_clone() doesn't copy any actual data of the original
request. Pages are shared between original bios and cloned bios.
So caller must not complete the original request before the clone
request.

Currently io_context has an atomic_t(32-bit) as refcount. In the case of
cfq, for each device against whcih a task does I/O, a reference to the
io_context would be taken. And when there are multiple process sharing
io_contexts(CLONE_IO) would also have a reference to the same io_context.
Theoretically the possible maximum number of processes sharing the same
io_context + the number of disks/cfq_data referring to the same io_context
can overflow the 32-bit counter on a very high-end machine.
Even though it is an improbable case, let us make it atomic_long_t.

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
...
Cons:
- no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
But this may change in the future.
- A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
- In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.
And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
# ls -l -h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out
Following are some comparisons between TRACE_EVENT and blktrace:

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.

block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch
Added a BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(req)) to the top of blk_finish_req().
Unfortunately, this checks whether req->queuelist is empty. This list
is doing double duty both as the queue list and the tag list, so tagged
requests come in here with this not empty and boom (the tag list is
emptied by blk_queue_end_tag() lower down).
Fix this by moving the BUG_ON to below the end tag we also seem
vulnerable to this in blk_requeue_request() as well. I think all uses
of blk_queued_rq() need auditing because the check is clearly wrong in

To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment. This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.
logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.
physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.
The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
the device. In many cases this is the same as the physical block
size. However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
(RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).
The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
the device. This is usually the stripe width for arrays.
The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
so filesystems start on proper boundaries.

In commit c3a4d78c58, while introducing

full count to zero. The conversion was done under the assumption that
when a request fails residue count wasn't defined. However, Boaz and
James pointed out that this wasn't true and the residue count should
be preserved for failed requests too.
This patchset restores the original behavior by setting rq->resid_len
to blk_rq_bytes(rq) on request start and restoring explicit clearing
in affected drivers. While at it, take advantage of the fact that
rq->resid_len is set to full count where applicable.
* ide-cd: rq->resid_len cleared on pc success
* mptsas: req->resid_len cleared on success

* mpt2sas_transport: req->resid_len cleared on success
* ide-cd, ide-tape, mptsas, sas_host_smp, mpt2sas_transport, ub: take
advantage of initial full count to simplify code

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.

Block low level drivers for some reason have been pretty good at
abusing block layer API. Especially struct request's fields tend to
get violated in all possible ways. Make it clear that low level
drivers MUST NOT access or manipulate rq->sector and rq->data_len
directly by prefixing them with double underscores.
This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes
which assume the previous block API where internal fields can be
manipulated and rq->data_len carries residual count on completion.

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.

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some
headaches.
First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be
the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This
complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
[__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
request with the cached data length.
Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is
an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default
behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.

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.

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.
This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.
Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.
* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct
calls to blk_end_request_all().

rq->start_time was initialized in init_request_from_bio() so special
requests didn't have start_time set. This has been okay as start_time
has been used only for fs requests; however, there is no indication of
this actually is the case or not. Set rq->start_time in blk_rq_init()
and guarantee that all initialized rq's have its start_time set. This
improves consistency at virtually no cost and future changes will make
use of the timestamp for !bio requests.

Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit
messy over the time. Clean it up.
1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around
end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL
before doing anything and handles bidi completion.
blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around
end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last
iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion.
Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors
clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and
renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the
only user of end_that_request_data(). Collapse
end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io().
2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(),
__blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request().
blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request()
as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use
separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different
locking rules.
blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io(). Collapse
blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request
update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add
__blk_end_bidi_request(). Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin
inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request().
3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be
modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion
functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning
of return values.
4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it
was a public interface and slighly confusing. Give it a proper
internal name - blk_finish_request().
5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely
used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh.
The only visible behavior change is from #1. nr_sectors counts are
cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to
complete the request. I couldn't find any place where the code
assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last
segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more
consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is
completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with
blk_update_request().
API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.

Impact: code reorganization
elv_next_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are public block layer
interface than actual elevator implementation. They mostly deal with
how requests interact with block layer and low level drivers at the
beginning of rqeuest processing whereas __elv_next_request() is the
actual eleveator request fetching interface.
Move the two functions to blk-core.c. This prepares for further
interface cleanup.

Reorder request completion functions such that
* All request completion functions are located together.
* Functions which are used by only one caller is put right above the
caller.
* end_request() is put after other completion functions but before
blk_update_request().

blk_start_queueing() is identical to __blk_run_queue() except that it
doesn't check for recursion. None of the current users depends on

__blk_run_queue wraps blk_invoke_request_fn() such that it
additionally removes plug and bails out early if the queue is empty.
Both extra operations have their own pending mechanisms and don't
cause any harm correctness-wise when they are done superflously.
The only user of blk_invoke_request_fn() being blk_start_queue(),
there isn't much reason to keep both functions around. Merge
blk_invoke_request_fn() into __blk_run_queue() and make
blk_start_queue() use __blk_run_queue() instead.

Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD):
- With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB
limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using
CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1).
- This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue:
mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature
enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on
machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue
when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system
running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.).
While at it:
- Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems
(they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).

Impact: subtle behavior change
For fs requests, rq is only carrier of bios and rq error status as a
whole doesn't mean much. This is the reason why rq->errors is being
cleared on each partial completion of a request as on each partial
completion the error status is transferred to the respective bios.
For pc requests, rq->errors is used to carry error status to the
issuer and thus __end_that_request_first() doesn't clear it on such
cases.
The condition was fine till now as only fs and pc requests have used
bio and thus the bio completion path. However, future changes will
unify data accesses to bio and all non fs users care about rq error
status. Clear rq->errors on bio completion only for fs requests.
In general, the implicit clearing is a bit too subtle especially as
the meaning of rq->errors is completely dependent on low level
drivers. Unifying / cleaning up rq->errors usage and letting llds
manage it would be better. TODO comment added.

Currently we look it up from ->ioprio, but ->ioprio can change if
either the process gets its IO priority changed explicitly, or if
cfq decides to temporarily boost it. So if we are unlucky, we can
end up attempting to remove a node from a different rbtree root than
where it was added.
Fix this by using ->org_ioprio as the prio_tree index, since that
will only change for explicit IO priority settings (not for a boost).
Additionally cache the rbtree root inside the cfqq, then we don't have
to add code to reinsert the cfqq in the prio_tree if IO priority changes.

cfq_prio_tree_lookup() should return the direct match, yet it always
returns zero. Fix that.
cfq_prio_tree_add() assumes that we don't get a direct match, while
it is very possible that we do. Using O_DIRECT, you can have different
cfqq with matching requests, since you don't have the page cache
to serialize things for you. Fix this bug by only adding the cfqq if
there isn't an existing match.
