Christoph Hellwig 34045129b1 block_dev: use blkdev_issue_zerout for hole punches
This gets us support for non-discard efficient write of zeroes (e.g. NVMe)
and prepares for removing the discard_zeroes_data flag.

Also remove a pointless discard support check, which is done in
blkdev_issue_discard already.

Bart Van Assche 36e3cf2739 scsi: Avoid that SCSI queues get stuck
If a .queue_rq() function returns BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_BUSY then the block
driver that implements that function is responsible for rerunning the
hardware queue once requests can be queued again successfully.

commit 52d7f1b5c2 ("blk-mq: Avoid that requeueing starts stopped
queues") removed the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call from scsi_queue_rq()
for the BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_BUSY case. Hence change all calls to functions
that are intended to rerun a busy queue such that these examine all
hardware queues instead of only stopped queues.

Since no other functions than scsi_internal_device_block() and
scsi_internal_device_unblock() should ever stop or restart a SCSI
queue, change the blk_mq_delay_queue() call into a
blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() call.

Fixes: commit 7e79dadce2 ("blk-mq: stop hardware queue in blk_mq_delay_queue()")

NeilBrown fbbaf700e7 block: trace completion of all bios.
Currently only dm and md/raid5 bios trigger
trace_block_bio_complete().  Now that we have bio_chain() and
bio_inc_remaining(), it is not possible, in general, for a driver to
know when the bio is really complete.  Only bio_endio() knows that.

So move the trace_block_bio_complete() call to bio_endio().

Now trace_block_bio_complete() pairs with trace_block_bio_queue().
Any bio for which a 'queue' event is traced, will subsequently
generate a 'complete' event.

There are a few cases where completion tracing is not wanted.
1/ If blk_update_request() has already generated a completion
   trace event at the 'request' level, there is no point generating
   one at the bio level too.  In this case the bi_sector and bi_size
   will have changed, so the bio level event would be wrong

2/ If the bio hasn't actually been queued yet, but is being aborted
   early, then a trace event could be confusing.  Some filesystems
   call bio_endio() but do not want tracing.

3/ The bio_integrity code interposes itself by replacing bi_end_io,
   then restoring it and calling bio_endio() again.  This would produce
   two identical trace events if left like that.

To handle these, we introduce a flag BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION and only
produce the trace event when this is set.
We address point 1 above by clearing the flag in blk_update_request().
We address point 2 above by only setting the flag when
generic_make_request() is called.
We address point 3 above by clearing the flag after generating a
completion event.

When bio_split() is used on a bio, particularly in blk_queue_split(),
there is an extra complication.  A new bio is split off the front, and
may be handle directly without going through generic_make_request().
The old bio, which has been advanced, is passed to
generic_make_request(), so it will trigger a trace event a second
time.
Probably the best result when a split happens is to see a single
'queue' event for the whole bio, then multiple 'complete' events - one
for each component.  To achieve this was can:
- copy the BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION flag to the new bio in bio_split()
- avoid generating a 'queue' event if BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION is already set.
This way, the split-off bio won't create a queue event, the original
won't either even if it re-submitted to generic_make_request(),
but both will produce completion events, each for their own range.

So if generic_make_request() is called (which generates a QUEUED
event), then bi_endio() will create a single COMPLETE event for each
range that the bio is split into, unless the driver has explicitly
requested it not to.

NeilBrown dbde775cdb block: simple improvements for bio->flags
The comment for the 'flags' field of 'bio' mentions
"command" which is no longer stored there, and doesn't
mention the bvec pool number, which is.

BIO_RESET_BITS is set in such a way that it would need to be

BVEC_POOL_BITS is larger than needed.  The BVEC_POOL_IDX()
ranges from 0 to 6, so 3 bits are sufficient.

This patch make improvements in each of these areas.

Omar Sandoval ebe8bddb6e blk-mq: remap queues when adding/removing hardware queues
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() used to remap hardware queues, which is the
behavior that drivers expect. However, commit 4e68a01142 changed
blk_mq_queue_reinit() to not remap queues for the case of CPU
hotplugging, inadvertently making blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() not remap
queues as well. This breaks, for example, NBD's multi-connection mode,
leaving the added hardware queues unused. Fix it by making
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() explicitly remap the queues.

Omar Sandoval 81380ca107 blk-mq: use the right hctx when getting a driver tag fails
While dispatching requests, if we fail to get a driver tag, we mark the
hardware queue as waiting for a tag and put the requests on a
hctx->dispatch list to be run later when a driver tag is freed. However,
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() may dispatch requests from multiple hardware
queues if using a single-queue scheduler with a multiqueue device. If
blk_mq_get_driver_tag() fails, it doesn't update the hardware queue we
are processing. This means we end up using the hardware queue of the
previous request, which may or may not be the same as that of the
current request. If it isn't, the wrong hardware queue will end up
waiting for a tag, and the requests will be on the wrong dispatch list,
leading to a hang.

The fix is twofold:

1. Make sure we save which hardware queue we were trying to get a
   request for in blk_mq_get_driver_tag() regardless of whether it
   succeeds or not.
2. Make blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() take a request_queue instead of a
   blk_mq_hw_queue to make it clear that it must handle multiple
   hardware queues, since I've already messed this up on a couple of
   occasions.

This didn't appear in testing with nvme and mq-deadline because nvme has
more driver tags than the default number of scheduler tags. However,
with the blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() fix, it showed up with nbd.

per 50000 writes and 1 process doing sequential 8k writes to a
relatively small file wrapping around at the end of the file and calling
fsync every 5 writes. Under this load read latency easily exceeds the
target latency of 75 ms (just because there are so many reads happening
against a relatively slow disk) and thus writeback is throttled to a
point where only 1 write request is allowed at a time. Blktrace data
then looks like:

So we can see a Q event for a write request, then IO is blocked by
writeback throttling and G and I events for the request happen only once
other writeback IO is completed. Thus CFQ always sees only one write
request. When it sees it, it queues the async queue behind all the read
queues and the async queue gets scheduled after about one second. When
it is scheduled, that one request gets dispatched and async queue is
expired as it has no more requests to submit. Overall we submit about
one write request per second.

Although this scheduling is beneficial for read latency, writes are
heavily starved and this causes large delays all over the system (due to
processes blocking on page lock, transaction starts, etc.). When
writeback throttling is disabled, write throughput is about one fifth of
a read throughput which roughly matches readers/writers ratio and
overall the system stalls are much shorter.

Mixing writeback throttling logic with CFQ throttling logic is always a
recipe for surprises as CFQ assumes it sees the big part of the picture
which is not necessarily true when writeback throttling is blocking
requests. So disable writeback throttling logic by default when CFQ is
used as an IO scheduler.

Adam Manzanares 85003a446e block: fix inheriting request priority from bio
In 4.10 I introduced a patch that associates the ioc priority with
each request in the block layer. This work was done in the single queue
block layer code. This patch unifies ioc priority to request mapping across
the single/multi queue block layers.

I have tested this patch with the null block device driver with the following
parameters.

null_blk queue_mode=2 irqmode=0 use_per_node_hctx=1 nr_devices=1

I have not seen a performance regression with this patch and I would appreciate
any feedback or additional testing.

I have also verified that io priorities are passed to the device when using
the SQ and MQ path to a SATA HDD that supports io priorities.

Christoph Hellwig 77f02a7acd nvme: factor request completion code into a common helper
This avoids duplicating the logic four times, and it also allows to keep
some helpers static in core.c or just opencode them.

Note that this loses printing the aborted status on completions in the
PCI driver as that uses a data structure not available any more.

A requeue means we go through nvme_fc_start_fcp_op again and get
another controller reference.  To make sure the refcount doesn't
leak we also need to drop it for every completion that came from
the LLDD.
