sbq_wake_ptr() checks sbq->ws_active to know if it needs to loop
the wait indexes or not. This requires the use of the sbitmap
waitqueue wrappers, but kyber doesn't use those for its domain
token waitqueue handling.
Convert kyber to use the helpers. This fixes a hang with waiting
for domain tokens.

The mapping used to be dependent on just the CPU location, but
now it's a tuple of (type, cpu) instead. This is a prep patch
for allowing a single software queue to map to multiple hardware
queues. No functional changes in this patch.
This changes the software queue count to an unsigned short
to save a bit of space. We can still support 64K-1 CPUs,
which should be enough. Add a check to catch a wrap.

Kyber's current heuristics have a few flaws:
- It's based on the mean latency, but p99 latency tends to be more
meaningful to anyone who cares about latency. The mean can also be
skewed by rare outliers that the scheduler can't do anything about.
- The statistics calculations are purely time-based with a short window.
This works for steady, high load, but is more sensitive to outliers
with bursty workloads.
- It only considers the latency once an I/O has been submitted to the
device, but the user cares about the time spent in the kernel, as
well.
These are shortcomings of the generic blk-stat code which doesn't quite
fit the ideal use case for Kyber. So, this replaces the statistics with
a histogram used to calculate percentiles of total latency and I/O
latency, which we then use to adjust depths in a slightly more
intelligent manner:
- Sync and async writes are now the same domain.
- Discards are a separate domain.
- Domain queue depths are scaled by the ratio of the p99 total latency
to the target latency (e.g., if the p99 latency is double the target
latency, we will double the queue depth; if the p99 latency is half of
the target latency, we can halve the queue depth).
- We use the I/O latency to determine whether we should scale queue
depths down: we will only scale down if any domain's I/O latency
exceeds the target latency, which is an indicator of congestion in the
device.
These new heuristics are just as scalable as the heuristics they
replace.

The domain token sbitmaps are currently initialized to the device queue
depth or 256, whichever is larger, and immediately resized to the
maximum depth for that domain (256, 128, or 64 for read, write, and
other, respectively). The sbitmap is never resized larger than that, so
it's unnecessary to allocate a bitmap larger than the maximum depth.
Let's just allocate it to the maximum depth to begin with. This will use
marginally less memory, and more importantly, give us a more appropriate
number of bits per sbitmap word.

Currently, kyber is very unfriendly with merging. kyber depends
on ctx rq_list to do merging, however, most of time, it will not
leave any requests in ctx rq_list. This is because even if tokens
of one domain is used up, kyber will try to dispatch requests
from other domain and flush the rq_list there.
To improve this, we setup kyber_ctx_queue (kcq) which is similar
with ctx, but it has rq_lists for different domain and build same
mapping between kcq and khd as the ctx & hctx. Then we could merge,
insert and dispatch for different domains separately. At the same
time, only flush the rq_list of kcq when get domain token successfully.
Then if one domain token is used up, the requests could be left in
the rq_list of that domain and maybe merged with following io.

Commit 8cf4666020 ("kyber: fix hang on domain token wait queue") fixed
a hang caused by leaving wait entries on the domain token wait queue
after the __sbitmap_queue_get() retry succeeded, making that wait entry
a "dud" which won't in turn wake more entries up. However, we can also
get a dud entry if kyber_get_domain_token() fails once but is then
called again and succeeds. This can happen if the hardware queue is
rerun for some other reason, or, more likely, kyber_dispatch_request()
tries the same domain twice.
The fix is to remove our entry from the wait queue whenever we
successfully get a token. The only complication is that we might be on
one of many wait queues in the struct sbitmap_queue, but that's easily
fixed by remembering which wait queue we were put on.
While we're here, only initialize the wait queue entry once instead of
on every wait, and use spin_lock_irq() instead of spin_lock_irqsave(),
since this is always called from process context with irqs enabled.

When we're getting a domain token, if we fail to get a token on our
first attempt, we put the current hardware queue on a wait queue and
then try again just in case a token was freed after our initial attempt
but before we got on the wait queue. If this second attempt succeeds, we
currently leave the hardware queue on the wait queue. Usually this is
okay; we'll just run the hardware queue one extra time when another
token is freed. However, if the hardware queue doesn't have any other
requests waiting, then when it it gets the extra wakeup, it won't have
anything to free and therefore won't wake up any other hardware queues.
If tokens are limited, then we won't make forward progress and the
device will hang.

So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the
code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry.
Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are
not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.
To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
fields unambiguously:
struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head
struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry
For example, this code:
rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list
... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:
rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry
... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.
Other examples are:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {
... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
a bug), while now it's written as:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) {

Rename:
wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t
'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

This patch makes sure we always allocate requests in the core blk-mq
code and use a common prepare_request method to initialize them for
both mq I/O schedulers. For Kyber and additional limit_depth method
is added that is called before allocating the request.
Also because none of the intializations can really fail the new method
does not return an error - instead the bfq finish method is hardened
to deal with the no-IOC case.
Last but not least this removes the abuse of RQF_QUEUE by the blk-mq
scheduling code as RQF_ELFPRIV is all that is needed now.

Fixed up Kyber scheduler stat callback.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
The Kyber I/O scheduler is an I/O scheduler for fast devices designed to
scale to multiple queues. Users configure only two knobs, the target
read and synchronous write latencies, and the scheduler tunes itself to
achieve that latency goal.
The implementation is based on "tokens", built on top of the scalable
bitmap library. Tokens serve as a mechanism for limiting requests. There
are two tiers of tokens: queueing tokens and dispatch tokens.
A queueing token is required to allocate a request. In fact, these
tokens are actually the blk-mq internal scheduler tags, but the
scheduler manages the allocation directly in order to implement its
policy.
Dispatch tokens are device-wide and split up into two scheduling
domains: reads vs. writes. Each hardware queue dispatches batches
round-robin between the scheduling domains as long as tokens are
available for that domain.
These tokens can be used as the mechanism to enable various policies.
The policy Kyber uses is inspired by active queue management techniques
for network routing, similar to blk-wbt. The scheduler monitors
latencies and scales the number of dispatch tokens accordingly. Queueing
tokens are used to prevent starvation of synchronous requests by
asynchronous requests.
Various extensions are possible, including better heuristics and ionice
support. The new scheduler isn't set as the default yet.
