lockdep gets unhappy about the not disabling irqs when using the queue_lock
around it. Instead of trying to fix that up just switch to an atomic_t
and get rid of the lock.

Last patch makes plug work for multiple queue case. However it only
works for single disk case, because it assumes only one request in the
plug list. If a task is accessing multiple disks, eg MD/DM, the
assumption is wrong. Let blk_attempt_plug_merge() record request from
the same queue.
V2: use NULL parameter in !mq case. Fix a bug. Add comments in
blk_attempt_plug_merge to make it less (hopefully) confusion.

plug is still helpful for workload with IO merge, but it can be harmful
otherwise especially with multiple hardware queues, as there is
(supposed) no lock contention in this case and plug can introduce
latency. For multiple queues, we do limited plug, eg plug only if there
is request merge. If a request doesn't have merge with following
request, the requet will be dispatched immediately.
V2: check blk_queue_nomerges() as suggested by Jeff.

If we directly issue a request and it fails, we use
blk_mq_merge_queue_io(). But we already assigned bio to a request in
blk_mq_bio_to_request. blk_mq_merge_queue_io shouldn't run
blk_mq_bio_to_request again.

The following appears in blk_sq_make_request:
/*
* If we have multiple hardware queues, just go directly to
* one of those for sync IO.
*/
We clearly don't have multiple hardware queues, here! This comment was
introduced with this commit 07068d5b8e (blk-mq: split make request
handler for multi and single queue):
We want slightly different behavior from them:
- On single queue devices, we currently use the per-process plug
for deferred IO and for merging.
- On multi queue devices, we don't use the per-process plug, but
we want to go straight to hardware for SYNC IO.
The old code had this:
use_plug = !is_flush_fua && ((q->nr_hw_queues == 1) || !is_sync);
and that was converted to:
use_plug = !is_flush_fua && !is_sync;
which is not equivalent. For the single queue case, that second half of
the && expression is always true. So, what I think was actually inteded
follows (and this more closely matches what is done in blk_queue_bio).
V2: delete the 'likely', which should not be a big deal

Current code looks like inner plug gets flushed with a
blk_finish_plug(). Actually it's a nop. All requests/callbacks are added
to current->plug, while only outmost plug is assigned to current->plug.
So inner plug always has empty request/callback list, which makes
blk_flush_plug_list() a nop. This tries to make the code more clear.

These values are only used by the IDE driver, so move them into it
by allowing drivers to take cmd_type values after the first private
one. Note that we have to turn cmd_type into a plain unsigned integer
so that gcc doesn't complain about mismatching enum types.

Struct bio has a reference count that controls when it can be freed.
Most uses cases is allocating the bio, which then returns with a
single reference to it, doing IO, and then dropping that single
reference. We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion
path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio.
If someone does call bio_get() on the bio, then we flag the bio as
now having valid count and that we must properly honor the reference
count when it's being put.

Struct bio has an atomic ref count for chained bio's, and we use this
to know when to end IO on the bio. However, most bio's are not chained,
so we don't need to always introduce this atomic operation as part of
ending IO.
Add a helper to elevate the bi_remaining count, and flag the bio as
now actually needing the decrement at end_io time. Rename the field
to __bi_remaining to catch any current users of this doing the
incrementing manually.
For high IOPS workloads, this reduces the overhead of bio_endio()
substantially.

In commit 0b053c9518 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead
of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in
case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually
find out it could be elimiated as dead store.
While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts
from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc,
and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example
that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset().
A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report,
which is regarded as not-a-bug.
Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it
doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own
implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm.
The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested
with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current
kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better
to be pedantic about it.
It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we
would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing,
not so with barrier_data() variant:
static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
{
memset(s, 0, count);
barrier_data(s);
}
int main(void)
{
char buff[20];
memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
return 0;
}

As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define
this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise
unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which
does not support gcc inline asm.
