When a filesystem is mounted from a loop device, writes are
throttled by balance_dirty_pages() twice: once when writing
to the filesystem and once when the loop_handle_cmd() writes
to the backing file. This double-throttling can trigger
positive feedback loops that create significant delays. The
throttling at the lower level is seen by the upper level as
a slow device, so it throttles extra hard.
The PF_LESS_THROTTLE flag was created to handle exactly this
circumstance, though with an NFS filesystem mounted from a
local NFS server. It reduces the throttling on the lower
layer so that it can proceed largely unthrottled.
To demonstrate this, create a filesystem on a loop device
and write (e.g. with dd) several large files which combine
to consume significantly more than the limit set by
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes. Measure the total
time taken.
When I do this directly on a device (no loop device) the
total time for several runs (mkfs, mount, write 200 files,
umount) is fairly stable: 28-35 seconds.
When I do this over a loop device the times are much worse
and less stable. 52-460 seconds. Half below 100seconds,
half above.
When I apply this patch, the times become stable again,
though not as fast as the no-loop-back case: 53-72 seconds.
There may be room for further improvement as the total overhead still
seems too high, but this is a big improvement.

Pull NVMe changes for 4.13 from Christoph:
Highlights:
- UUID identifier support from Johannes
- Lots of cleanups from Sagi
- Host Memory Buffer support from me
And lots of cleanups and smaller fixes of course.
Note that the UUID identifier changes are based on top of the uuid tree.
I am the maintainer of that tree and will send it to Linus as soon as
4.12 is released as various other trees depend on it as well (and the
diffstat includes those changes unfortunately)
of_device_ids are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with of_device_ids provided by <linux/of.h> work with const
of_device_ids. So mark the non-const structs as const.

This moves the nvme_reset function from the PCIe driver to common code,
renaming it to nvme_reset_ctrl in the process. Additionally a new
helper nvme_reset_ctrl_sync is added for the case where we want to
wait for the reset. To facilitate that the reset_work work structure is
move to the common nvme_ctrl structure and the ->reset_ctrl method is
removed. For now the drivers initialize the reset_work with their own
callback, but longer term we should move to callouts for specific
parts of the reset process and move even more code to the core.

A NVMe Identify NS command with a CNS value of '3' is expecting a list
of Namespace Identification Descriptor structures to be returned to
the host for the namespace requested in the namespace identify
command.
This Namespace Identification Descriptor structure consists of the
type of the namespace identifier, the length of the identifier and the
actual identifier.
Valid types are NGUID and UUID which we have saved in our nvme_ns
structure if they have been configured via configfs. If no value has
been assigened to one of these we return an "invalid opcode" back to
the host to maintain backward compatibiliy with older implementations
without Namespace Identify Descriptor list support.
Also as the Namespace Identify Descriptor list is the only mandatory
feature change between 1.2.1 and 1.3 we can bump the advertised
version as well.

Now that we have a way for getting the UUID from a target, provide it
to userspace as well.
Unfortunately there is already a sysfs attribute called UUID which is
a misnomer as it holds the NGUID value. So instead of creating yet
another wrong name, create a new 'nguid' sysfs attribute for the
NGUID. For the UUID attribute add a check wheter the namespace has a
UUID assigned to it and return this or return the NGUID to maintain
backwards compatibility. This should give userspace a chance to catch
up.
