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

Commit 889fa31f00 was a bit too eager in reducing the loop count,
so we ended up missing queues in some configurations. Ensure that
our division rounds up, so that's not the case.

Pull block layer core bits from Jens Axboe:
"This is the core pull request for 4.1. Not a lot of stuff in here for
this round, mostly little fixes or optimizations. This pull request
contains:
- An optimization that speeds up queue runs on blk-mq, especially for
the case where there's a large difference between nr_cpu_ids and
the actual mapped software queues on a hardware queue. From Chong
Yuan.
- Honor node local allocations for requests on legacy devices. From
David Rientjes.
- Cleanup of blk_mq_rq_to_pdu() from me.
- exit_aio() fixup from me, greatly speeding up exiting multiple IO
contexts off exit_group(). For my particular test case, fio exit
took ~6 seconds. A typical case of both exposing RCU grace periods
to user space, and serializing exit of them.
- Make blk_mq_queue_enter() honor the gfp mask passed in, so we only
wait if __GFP_WAIT is set. From Keith Busch.
- blk-mq exports and two added helpers from Mike Snitzer, which will
be used by the dm-mq code.
- Cleanups of blk-mq queue init from Wei Fang and Xiaoguang Wang"

blk-mq: export blk_mq_run_hw_queues
blk-mq: add blk_mq_init_allocated_queue and export blk_mq_register_disk
In flush_busy_ctxs() and blk_mq_hctx_has_pending(), regardless of how many
ctxs assigned to one hctx, they will all loop hctx->ctx_map.map_size
times. Here hctx->ctx_map.map_size is a const ALIGN(nr_cpu_ids, 8) / 8.
Especially, flush_busy_ctxs() is in hot code path. And it's unnecessary.
Change ->map_size to contain the actually mapped software queues, so we
only loop for as many iterations as we have to.
And remove cpumask setting and nr_ctx count in blk_mq_init_cpu_queues()
since they are all re-done in blk_mq_map_swqueue().
blk_mq_map_swqueue().

Jan Engelhardt reports a strange oops with an invalid ->sense_buffer
pointer in scsi_init_cmd_errh() with the blk-mq code.
The sense_buffer pointer should have been initialized by the call to
scsi_init_request() from blk_mq_init_rq_map(), but there seems to be
some non-repeatable memory corruptor.
This patch makes sure we initialize the whole struct request allocation
(and the associated 'struct scsi_cmnd' for the SCSI case) to zero, by
using __GFP_ZERO in the allocation. The old code initialized a couple
of individual fields, leaving the rest undefined (although many of them
are then initialized in later phases, like blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() etc.
It's not entirely clear why this matters, but it's the rigth thing to do
regardless, and with 4.0 imminent this is the defensive "let's just make
sure everything is initialized properly" patch.

Add a variant of blk_mq_init_queue that allows a previously allocated
queue to be initialized. blk_mq_init_allocated_queue models
blk_init_allocated_queue -- which was also created for DM's use.
DM's approach to device creation requires a placeholder request_queue be
allocated for use with alloc_dev() but the decision about what type of
request_queue will be ultimately created is deferred until all component
devices referenced in the DM table are processed to determine the table
type (request-based, blk-mq request-based, or bio-based).
Also, because of DM's late finalization of the request_queue type
the call to blk_mq_register_disk() doesn't happen during alloc_dev().
Must export blk_mq_register_disk() so that DM can backfill the 'mq' dir
once the blk-mq queue is fully allocated.

The kobject memory inside blk-mq hctx/ctx shouldn't have been freed
before the kobject is released because driver core can access it freely
before its release.
We can't do that in all ctx/hctx/mq_kobj's release handler because
it can be run before blk_cleanup_queue().
Given mq_kobj shouldn't have been introduced, this patch simply moves
mq's release into blk_release_queue().

This is the blk-mq part to support tag allocation policy. The default
allocation policy isn't changed (though it's not a strict FIFO). The new
policy is round-robin for libata. But it's a try-best implementation. If
multiple tasks are competing, the tags returned will be mixed (which is
unavoidable even with !mq, as requests from different tasks can be
mixed in queue)
