beefa6ba7b block: only honor SG gap prevention for merges that contain data
We can safely merge anything that wont generate an SG list entry,
so if the bio is data-less (discard), don't look at potential
SG gaps.

854fbb9c69 block: prevent request-to-request merging with gaps if not allowed
If the queue has SG_GAPS set, we must not merge across an sg gap.
This is caught for the bio case, but currently not for the
more rare case of merging two requests directly.

76d8137a31 blk-merge: recaculate segment if it isn't less than max segments
The problem is introduced by commit 764f612c6c3c231b(blk-merge:
don't compute bi_phys_segments from bi_vcnt for cloned bio),
and merge is needed if number of current segment isn't less than
max segments.

Strictly speaking, bio->bi_vcnt shouldn't be used here since
it may not be accurate in cases of both cloned bio or bio cloned
from, but bio_segments() is a bit expensive, and bi_vcnt is still
the biggest number, so the approach should work.

0738854939 blk-merge: fix blk_recount_segments
QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE is set at default for blk-mq devices,
so bio->bi_phys_segment computed may be bigger than
queue_max_segments(q) for blk-mq devices, then drivers will
fail to handle the case, for example, BUG_ON() in
virtio_queue_rq() can be triggerd for virtio-blk:

	https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1359146

This patch fixes the issue by ignoring the QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE
flag if the computed bio->bi_phys_segment is bigger than
queue_max_segments(q), and the regression is caused by commit
05f1dd53152173(block: add queue flag for disabling SG merging).

66cb45aa41 block: add support for limiting gaps in SG lists
Another restriction inherited for NVMe - those devices don't support
SG lists that have "gaps" in them. Gaps refers to cases where the
previous SG entry doesn't end on a page boundary. For NVMe, all SG
entries must start at offset 0 (except the first) and end on a page
boundary (except the last).

05f1dd5315 block: add queue flag for disabling SG merging
If devices are not SG starved, we waste a lot of time potentially
collapsing SG segments. Enough that 1.5% of the CPU time goes
to this, at only 400K IOPS. Add a queue flag, QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE,
which just returns the number of vectors in a bio instead of looping
over all segments and checking for collapsible ones.

Add a BLK_MQ_F_SG_MERGE flag so that drivers can opt-in on the sg
merging, if they so desire.

5cb8850c9c block: Explicitly handle discard/write same segments
Immutable biovecs changed the way biovecs are interpreted - drivers no
longer use bi_vcnt, they have to go by bi_iter.bi_size (to allow for
using part of an existing segment without modifying it).

This breaks with discards and write_same bios, since for those bi_size
has nothing to do with segments in the biovec. So for now, we need a
fairly gross hack - we fortunately know that there will never be more
than one segment for the entire request, so we can special case
discard/write_same.

bio_iovec_idx() and __bio_iovec() don't have any valid uses anymore -
previous users have been converted to bio_iovec_iter() or other methods.

__BVEC_END() has to go too - the bvec array can't be used directly for

e7e2450001 blk-mq: don't disallow request merges for req->special being set
For blk-mq, if a driver has requested per-request payload data
to carry command structures, they are stuffed into req->special.
For an old style request based driver, req->special is used
for the same purpose but indicates that a per-driver request
structure has been prepared for the request already. So for the
old style driver, we do not merge such requests.

As most/all blk-mq drivers will use the payload feature, and
since we have no problem merging on these, make this check
dependent on whether it's a blk-mq enabled driver or not.

050c8ea80e block: separate out blk_rq_merge_ok() and blk_try_merge() from elevator functions
blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility
test.  blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the
caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously.

elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls
elv_iosched_allow_merge().  elv_try_merge() is removed and the two
callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by
blk_try_merge().  While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return
bool.

This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any
behavior change.

This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from
plug merge.

5e84ea3a9c block: attempt to merge with existing requests on plug flush
One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.

Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
merging).

This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that
can be merged.

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.

The detailed root cause is as follows.

Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.

1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
   is 0 and sda2's one is 1.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
   step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
   from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
   hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
   sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |         -1
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.

Also add a refcount to struct hd_struct to keep the partition in
memory as long as users exist. We use kref_test_and_get() to ensure
we don't add a reference to a partition which is going away.

e692cb668f block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits instead
When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.

There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.

The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no

to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted
again.

Add logic to prevent two I/O requests being merged if
only one of them is a discard.  Ditto secure discard.

Without this fix, it is possible for write requests
to transform into discard requests.  For example:

  Submit bio 1 to discard 8 sectors from sector n
  Submit bio 2 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 16
  Submit bio 3 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 8

Bio 1 becomes request 1.  Bio 2 becomes request 2.
Bio 3 is merged with request 2, and then subsequently
request 2 is merged with request 1 resulting in just
one I/O request which discards all 24 sectors.

Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.

But  Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.

So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899

The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
        if (now == part->stamp)
                return;

-       if (part->in_flight) {
+       if (part_in_flight(part)) {
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
                                part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));

With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

know how many read requests and write requests are in progress. Split the
current in_flight counter into two seperate counters for read and write.

This information is exported as a sysfs attribute, as changing the

80a761fd33 block: implement mixed merge of different failfast requests
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.

ab0fd1debe block: don't merge requests of different failfast settings
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
correctly will be added later.

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.

2e46e8b27a block: drop request->hard_* and *nr_sectors
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.

[ Impact: API cleanup, single way to represent one property of a request ]

83096ebf12 block: convert to pos and nr_sectors accessors
With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
directly manipulates request fields.  This means that the 'hard'
request fields always equal the !hard fields.  Convert all
rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
accessors.

While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

[ Impact: use pos and nr_sectors accessors ]

42dad7647a block: simplify I/O stat accounting
This simplifies I/O stat accounting switching code and separates it
completely from I/O scheduler switch code.

Requests are accounted according to the state of their request queue
at the time of the request allocation. There is no need anymore to
flush the request queue when switching I/O accounting state.
