This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.
If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
throttled down.
The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
period has passed.

bsg currently checks ->request_fn to check whether a queue can
handle struct request. But with blk-mq, we don't have a request_fn
yet are request based. Add a queue_is_rq_based() helper and use
that in bsg, I'm guessing this is not the last place we need to
update for this. Besides, it better explains what is being

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.
Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().
For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

Martin bisected and found this to be the problem patch;
commit 6d113398dc
Author: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Date: Mon Feb 24 16:39:54 2014 +0100
block: Stop abusing rq->csd.list in blk-softirq
and the problem was immediately apparent. The patch states that
it is safe to reuse queuelist at completion time, since it is
no longer used. However, that is not true if a device is using
block enabled tagging. If that is the case, then the queuelist
is reused to keep track of busy tags. If a device also ended
up using softirq completions, we'd reuse ->queuelist for the
IPI handling while block tagging was still using it. Boom.
Fix this by adding a new ipi_list list head, and share the
memory used with the request hash table. The hash table is
never used after the request is moved to the dispatch list,
which happens long before any potential completion of the
request. Add a new request bit for this, so we don't have
cases that check rq->hash while it could potentially have
been reused for the IPI completion.

Witch to using a preallocated flush_rq for blk-mq similar to what's done
with the old request path. This allows us to set up the request properly
with a tag from the actually allowed range and ->rq_disk as needed by
some drivers. To make life easier we also switch to dynamic allocation
of ->flush_rq for the old path.

This adds a mechanism by which we can advance a bio by an arbitrary

directly before we can use this for interesting things, like efficient
bio splitting.

Linux currently has two models for block devices:
- The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.
- The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
driver generally have to manage everything themselves.
With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
per device.
The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
that the shared approach solved.
This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.
blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:
- Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
tags, to enable cache hot reuse.
- Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
if a request happens to fail.
- Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
desired location.
- Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
to associate a request structure with some driver private
command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
and then any request handed to the driver will have the
required size of memory associated with it.
- Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
increases bandwidth.
For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
devices (as it was originally intended).

This reference count has been around since before git history, but the only
place where it's used is in blk_execute_rq, and ther it is entirely useless
as it is incremented before submitting the request and decremented in the
end_io handler before waking up the submitter thread.
