Prevent prematurely freeing 'struct blkfront_info' instances (when the
xenbus data structures are gone, but the Linux ones are still needed).
Prevent adding a disk with the same (major, minor) [and hence the same
name and sysfs entries, which leads to oopses] when the previous
instance wasn't fully de-allocated yet.
This still doesn't address all issues resulting from forced detach:
I/O submitted after the detach still blocks forever, likely preventing
subsequent un-mounting from completing. It's not clear to me (not
knowing much about the block layer) how this can be avoided.

Issuing a blkdev_issue_flush() on an unconfigured loop device causes a panic as
q->make_request_fn is not configured. This can occur when trying to mount the
unconfigured loop device as an XFS filesystem. There are no guards that catch
the bio before the request function is called because we don't add a payload to
the bio. Instead, manually check this case as soon as we have a pointer to the
queue to flush.

This restores the changes from "scsi/i2o_block: cleanup ioctl
handling", which accidentally got reverted.
Origignal changelog:
This fixes the ioctl function of the i2o_block driver, which
has multiple problems:
* The BLKI2OSRSTRAT and BLKI2OSWSTRAT commands always return
-ENOTTY on success, where they should return 0.
* Support for 32 bit compat is missing
* The driver should use the .ioctl function and because
.locked_ioctl is going away.
The use of the big kernel lock remains for now, but gets
made explictit in the ioctl function.

Every user of the BKL in the sd driver is the
result of the pushdown from the block layer
into the open/close/ioctl functions.
The only place that used to rely on the BKL is
the sdkp->openers variable, which gets converted
into an atomic_t.
Nothing else seems to rely on the BKL, since the
functions do not touch global data without holding
another lock, and the open/close functions are
still protected from concurrent execution using
the bdev->bd_mutex.

We only call the functions set_device_ro(),
invalidate_bdev(), sync_filesystem() and sync_blockdev()
while holding the BKL in these commands. All
of these are also done in other code paths without
the BKL, which leads me to the conclusion that
the BKL is not needed here either.
The reason we hold it here is that it was originally
pushed down into the ioctl function from vfs_ioctl.

The blktrace driver currently needs the BKL, but
we should not need to take that in the block layer,
so just push it down into the driver itself.

in a follow-on patch.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

We leak a page allocated for discard on some error conditions
(e.g. scsi_prep_state_check returns BLKPREP_DEFER in
scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd).
We unprep on requests that weren't prepped in the error path of
scsi_init_io. It makes the error path to clean up scsi commands messy.
Let's strictly apply the rule that we can't unprep on a request that
wasn't prepped.
Calling just scsi_put_command() in the error path of scsi_init_io() is
enough. We don't set REQ_DONTPREP yet.
scsi_setup_discard_cmnd can safely free a page on the error case with
the above rule.

Trace queue/sched/exec parts of the writeback loop. This provides
insight into when and why flusher threads are scheduled to run. e.g
a sync invocation leaves traces like:
sync-[...]: writeback_queue: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
flush-8:0-[...]: writeback_exec: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
This also lays the foundation for adding more writeback tracing to
provide deeper insight into the whole writeback path.
The original tracing code is from Jens Axboe, though this version is
a rewrite as a result of the code being traced changing
significantly.

SCSI-ml needs a way to mark a request as flush request in
q->prepare_flush_fn because it needs to identify them later (e.g. in
q->request_fn or prep_rq_fn).
queue_flush sets REQ_HARDBARRIER in rq->cmd_flags however the block
layer also sends normal REQ_TYPE_FS requests with REQ_HARDBARRIER. So
SCSI-ml can't use REQ_HARDBARRIER to identify flush requests.
We could change the block layer to clear REQ_HARDBARRIER bit before
sending non flush requests to the lower layers. However, intorudcing
the new flag looks cleaner (surely easier).

Allocating a fixed payload for discard requests always was a horrible hack,
and it's not coming to byte us when adding support for discard in DM/MD.
So change the code to leave the allocation of a payload to the lowlevel
driver. Unfortunately that means we'll need another hack, which allows
us to update the various block layer length fields indicating that we
have a payload. Instead of hiding this in sd.c, which we already partially
do for UNMAP support add a documented helper in the core block layer for it.

block uses ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA. Only SCSI uses
ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for ancient drivers with non-zero
unchecked_isa_dma. Nowadays drivers (and subsystems) use dma_mask
properly instead of ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD.
Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt says:
unchecked_isa_dma - 1=>only use bottom 16 MB of ram (ISA DMA addressing
restriction), 0=>can use full 32 bit (or better) DMA
address space
So block simply uses DMA_BIT_MASK(24) for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA for SCSI.

A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request
and let the queue be unplugged immediately as it's blocking all forward
progress due to the queue draining.
Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh
treats the buffer_ordered flag, and gfs2 sets it explicitly. But btrfs
and XFS are still forgetting to set the flag, as is blkdev_issue_flush
and some places in DM/MD.
For XFS on metadata heavy workloads this gives a consistent speedup
in the 2-3% range.
