By completing the request entirely in the driver we can remove the
BLK_EH_HANDLED return value and thus the split responsibility between the
driver and the block layer that has been causing trouble.

It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that
I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT
available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these
constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion,
move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the
<linux/blkdev.h> header file such that these become available for all
block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h
header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after
<linux/blkdev.h> causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE
redefinition.
Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have
not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in
which these constants are used for another purpose than converting
block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

Similarly to the support we have for testing/faking timeouts for
null_blk, this adds support for triggering a requeue condition.
Considering the issues around restart we've been seeing, this should be
a useful addition to the testing arsenal to ensure that we are handling
requeue conditions correctly.
This works for queue mode 1 (legacy request_fn based path) and 2 (blk-mq
path), as there's no good way to do requeue with a bio based driver.
This is similar to the timeout path. For the blk-mq path, we alternate
between passing back BLK_STS_RESOURCE and manually calling
blk_mq_requeue_request() in the driver. The former will hit the core
requeue path, while the latter exercises the IO scheduler requeue
path.

This status is returned from driver to block layer if device related
resource is unavailable, but driver can guarantee that IO dispatch
will be triggered in future when the resource is available.
Convert some drivers to return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE. Also, if driver
returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE and SCHED_RESTART is set, rerun queue after
a delay (BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE) to avoid IO stalls. BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE is
3 ms because both scsi-mq and nvmefc are using that magic value.
If a driver can make sure there is in-flight IO, it is safe to return
BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE because:
1) If all in-flight IOs complete before examining SCHED_RESTART in
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), SCHED_RESTART must be cleared, so queue
is run immediately in this case by blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list();
2) if there is any in-flight IO after/when examining SCHED_RESTART
in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list():
- if SCHED_RESTART isn't set, queue is run immediately as handled in 1)
- otherwise, this request will be dispatched after any in-flight IO is
completed via blk_mq_sched_restart()
3) if SCHED_RESTART is set concurently in context because of
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() will cover the above two
cases and make sure IO hang can be avoided.
One invariant is that queue will be rerun if SCHED_RESTART is set.

Use the fault injection framework to provide a way for null_blk
to configure timeouts. This only works for queue_mode 1 and 2,
since the bio mode doesn't have code for tracking timeouts.
Let's say you want to have a 10% chance of timing out every
100,000 requests, and for 5 total timeouts, you could do:
modprobe null_blk timeout="100000,10,0,5"
This is useful for adding blktests to test that IO timeouts
are handled appropriately.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
This is needed to ensure that we actually handle timeouts.
Without it, the queue_mode=1 path will never call blk_add_timer(),
and the queue_mode=2 path will continually just return
EH_RESET_TIMER and we never actually complete the offending request.
This was used to test the new timeout code, and the changes around

struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between
CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than
cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment
requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to
cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines
that need to be transferred among CPUs.
This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the
size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the
power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to
add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2
as well.
Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes.
To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of
call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used.
To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple
thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple
threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap
is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping
memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5%
compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.

Sometime disk could have tracks broken and data there is inaccessable,
but data in other parts can be accessed in normal way. MD RAID supports
such disks. But we don't have a good way to test it, because we can't
control which part of a physical disk is bad. For a virtual disk, this
can be easily controlled.
This patch adds a new 'badblock' attribute. Configure it in this way:
echo "+1-100" > xxx/badblock, this will make sector [1-100] as bad
blocks.
echo "-20-30" > xxx/badblock, this will make sector [20-30] good
If badblocks are accessed, the nullb disk will return IO error. Other
parts of the disk can accessed in normal way.

Software must flush disk cache to guarantee data safety. To check if
software correctly does disk cache flush, we must know the behavior of
disk. But physical disk behavior is uncontrollable. Even software
doesn't do the flush, the disk probably does the flush. This patch tries
to emulate a cache in the test disk.
All write will go to a cache first, when the cache is full, we then
flush some data to disk storage. A flush request will flush all data of
the cache to disk storage. A FUA write will write to memory store
directly and revalidate data in cache. If there is a power failure (by
writing to power attribute, 'echo 0 > disk_name/power'), we discard all
data in the cache, but preserve the data in disk storage. Later we can
power on the disk again as usual (write 1 to 'power' attribute), then we
can check data integrity and very if software does everything correctly.
A new attribute 'cache_size' (in MB) is added to configure cache size.

In test, we usually expect controllable disk speed. For example, in a
raid array, we'd like some disks are fast and some are slow. MD RAID
actually has a feature for this. To test the feature, we'd like to make
the disk run in specific speed.
block throttling probably can be used for this purpose, but it requires
cgroup setup. Here we just implement a simple throttling mechanism in
the driver. There is slight fluctuation in the mechanism, but it's good
enough for test.
To configure the bandwidth cap, user sets the 'mbps' attribute. mbps is
MB/s.

Add configfs interface for nullb. configfs interface is more flexible
and easy to configure in a per-disk basis.
Configuration is something like this:
mount -t configfs none /mnt
Checking which features the driver supports:
cat /mnt/nullb/features
The 'features' attribute is for future extension. We probably will add
new features into the driver, userspace can check this attribute to find
the supported features.
Create/remove a device:
mkdir/rmdir /mnt/nullb/a
Then configure the device by setting attributes under /mnt/nullb/a, most
of nullb supported module parameters are converted to attributes:
size; /* device size in MB */
completion_nsec; /* time in ns to complete a request */
submit_queues; /* number of submission queues */
home_node; /* home node for the device */
queue_mode; /* block interface */
blocksize; /* block size */
irqmode; /* IRQ completion handler */
hw_queue_depth; /* queue depth */
use_lightnvm; /* register as a LightNVM device */
blocking; /* blocking blk-mq device */
use_per_node_hctx; /* use per-node allocation for hardware context */
Note, creating a device doesn't create a disk immediately. Creating a
disk is done in two phases: create a device and then power on the
device. Next patch will introduce device power on.

When we switch to configfs interface, each disk could have different
configuration. To prepare for the change, we move most disk setting to a
separate data structure. The existing module parameter interface is
kept. The 'nr_devices' and 'shared_tags' don't make sense for per-disk
setting, so they are remained as global settings.

In case we use shared tags feature, blk_mq_alloc_tag_set might fail
during module initialization. In that case, fail the load with a
suitable error code. Also move the tagset initialization process after
defining the amount of submission queues.

Some storage drivers need to share tag sets between devices. It's
useful to be able to model that with null_blk, to find hangs or
performance issues.
Add a 'shared_tags' bool module parameter that. If that is set to
true and nr_devices is bigger than 1, all devices allocated will
share the same tag set.

Use the same values for use for request completion errors as the return
value from ->queue_rq. BLK_STS_RESOURCE is special cased to cause
a requeue, and all the others are completed as-is.

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.

Now that all drivers that call blk_mq_complete_requests have a
->complete callback we can remove the direct call to blk_mq_end_request,
as well as the error argument to blk_mq_complete_request.

This patch changes the behavior of the null_blk driver for the
LightNVM mode as follows:
* REQ_FAILFAST_MASK is set for read-ahead requests.
* If no I/O priority has been set in the bio, the I/O priority is
copied from the I/O context.
* The rq_disk member is initialized if bio->bi_bdev != NULL.
* req->errors is initialized to zero.

This adds a new module parameter to null_blk, blocking. If set, null_blk
will set the BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING flag, indicating that it sometimes/always
needs to block in its ->queue_rq() function. The intent is to help find
regressions in blocking drivers, since not many of them exist.
If null_blk is loaded with submit_queues > 1 and blocking=1, this
shows the regression recently fixed by bf4907c05e.

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations. The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.
Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

When the lightnvm core had the "gennvm" layer between the device and the
target, there was a need for the core to be able to figure out which
target it should send an end_io callback to. Leading to a "double"
end_io, first for the media manager instance, and then for the target
instance. Now that core and gennvm is merged, there is no longer a need
for this, and a single end_io callback will do.

The number of configuration groups has been limited to one in current
code, even if there is support for up to four. With the introduction
of the open-channel SSD 1.3 specification, only a single
group is exposed onwards. Reflect this in the nvm_id structure.
