If we have two processes with different ioprio_class, but the same
ioprio_data, their async requests will fall into the same queue. I guess
such behavior is not expected, because it's not right to put real-time
requests and best-effort requests in the same queue.
The attached patch fixes the problem by introducing additional *cfqq
fields on cfqd, pointing to per-(class,priority) async queues.

This patch addresses on two issues on bsg device allocation.
- the current maxium number of bsg devices is 256. It's too small if
we allocate bsg devices to all SCSI devices, transport entities, etc.
This increses the maxium number to 32768 (taken from the sg driver).
- SCSI devices are dynamically added and removed. Currently, bsg can't
handle it well since bsd_device->minor is simply increased.
This is dependent on the patchset that I posted yesterday:

bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl
commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk
arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't
have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to
scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so
it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().

Barrier bios are completed twice - once after the barrier write itself
is done and again after the whole sequence is complete.
flush_dry_bio_endio() is for the first completion. It doesn't really
complete the bio. It rewinds bvec and resets bio so that it can be
completed again when the whole barrier sequence is complete.
The bvec rewinding code has the following problems.
1. The rewinding code is wrong because filesystems may pass bvec with
non zero bv_offset.
2. The block layer doesn't guarantee anything about the state of
bvec array on request completion. bv_offset and len are updated
iff __end_that_request_first() completes the bvec partially.
Because of #2, #1 doesn't really matter (nobody cares whether bvec is
re-wound correctly or not) but then again by not doing unwinding at
all, we'll always give back the same bvec to the caller as full bvec
completion doesn't alter bvecs and the final completion is always full
completion.
Drop unnecessary rewinding code.

SCSI marks internal commands with REQ_PREEMPT and push it at the front
of the request queue using blk_execute_rq(). When entering suspended
or frozen state, SCSI devices are quiesced using
scsi_device_quiesce(). In quiesced state, only REQ_PREEMPT requests
are processed. This is how SCSI blocks other requests out while
suspending and resuming. As all internal commands are pushed at the
front of the queue, this usually works.
Unfortunately, this interacts badly with ordered requeueing. To
preserve request order on requeueing (due to busy device, active EH or
other failures), requests are sorted according to ordered sequence on
requeue if IO barrier is in progress.
The following sequence deadlocks.
1. IO barrier sequence issues.
2. Suspend requested. Queue is quiesced with part or all of IO
barrier sequence at the front.
3. During suspending or resuming, SCSI issues internal command which
gets deferred and requeued for some reason. As the command is
issued after the IO barrier in #1, ordered requeueing code puts the
request after IO barrier sequence.
4. The device is ready to process requests again but still is in
quiesced state and the first request of the queue isn't
REQ_PREEMPT, so command processing is deadlocked -
suspending/resuming waits for the issued request to complete while
the request can't be processed till device is put back into
running state by resuming.
This can be fixed by always putting !fs requests at the front when
requeueing.
The following thread reports this deadlock.

to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they
didn't.
As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not
expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any
call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space
available.
As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value
when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly
assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be
certain that all callers set it to NULL. We can therefore safely use
bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before
making the real call.
So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one
generic_make_request at a time. If a subsequent (recursive) call is made,
the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active
call completes.
As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to
worry about.
I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...". There are, however,
some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe. These
include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a
recursive call to generic_make_request.
These could include:
- waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function.
md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before
completing a write) but doesn't any more
- inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might
change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev. It is hard to see a good
reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it.
- inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet. Again, I
think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done.

Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> said:
I can see nothing wrong with this in principle.
For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio
mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly
the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request().
My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch
will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code
more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished
patch is already several hundred lines long.)
It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test
