Add logic to prevent two I/O requests being merged if
only one of them is a discard. Ditto secure discard.
Without this fix, it is possible for write requests
to transform into discard requests. For example:
Submit bio 1 to discard 8 sectors from sector n
Submit bio 2 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 16
Submit bio 3 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 8
Bio 1 becomes request 1. Bio 2 becomes request 2.
Bio 3 is merged with request 2, and then subsequently
request 2 is merged with request 1 resulting in just
one I/O request which discards all 24 sectors.

The problem here is that we don't have bdi->dev information available when
thread does some IO. Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it
crashes.
This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root
group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't
hit this piece of code.
Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of
device in blk_group. Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device
information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes
in from same group.

While testing CPU DLPAR, the following problem was discovered.
We were DLPAR removing the first CPU, which in this case was
logical CPUs 0-3. CPUs 0-2 were already marked offline and
we were in the process of offlining CPU 3. After marking
the CPU inactive and offline in cpu_disable, but before the
cpu was completely idle (cpu_die), we ended up in __make_request
on CPU 3. There we looked at the topology map to see which CPU
to complete the I/O on and found no CPUs in the cpu_sibling_map.
This resulted in the block layer setting the completion cpu
to be NR_CPUS, which then caused an oops when we tried to
complete the I/O.
Fix this by sanity checking the value we return from blk_cpu_to_group
to be a valid cpu value.

Currently drivers must do an elevator_exit() + elevator_init()
to switch IO schedulers. There are a few problems with this:
- Since commit 1abec4fdbb,
elevator_init() requires a zeroed out q->elevator
pointer. The two existing in-kernel users don't do that.
- It will only work at initialization time, since using the
above two-staged construct does not properly quisce the queue.
So add elevator_change() which takes care of this, and convert
the elv_iosched_store() sysfs interface to use this helper as well.

o Implement a new tunable group_idle, which allows idling on the group
instead of a cfq queue. Hence one can set slice_idle = 0 and not idle
on the individual queues but idle on the group. This way on fast storage
we can get fairness between groups at the same time overall throughput
improves.

o Implement another CFQ mode where we charge group in terms of number
of requests dispatched instead of measuring the time. Measuring in terms
of time is not possible when we are driving deeper queue depths and there
are requests from multiple cfq queues in the request queue.
o This mode currently gets activated if one sets slice_idle=0 and associated
disk supports NCQ. Again the idea is that on an NCQ disk with idling disabled
most of the queues will dispatch 1 or more requests and then cfq queue
expiry happens and we don't have a way to measure time. So start providing
fairness in terms of IOPS.
o Currently IOPS mode works only with cfq group scheduling. CFQ is following
different scheduling algorithms for queue and group scheduling. These IOPS
stats are used only for group scheduling hence in non-croup mode nothing
should change.
o For CFQ group scheduling one can disable slice idling so that we don't idle
on queue and drive deeper request queue depths (achieving better throughput),
at the same time group idle is enabled so one should get service
differentiation among groups.

Do not idle either on cfq queue or service tree if slice_idle=0. User does
not want any queue or service tree idling. Currently even if slice_idle=0,
we were waiting for request to finish before expiring the queue and that
can lead to lower queue depths.

Issuing a blkdev_issue_flush() on an unconfigured loop device causes a panic as
q->make_request_fn is not configured. This can occur when trying to mount the
unconfigured loop device as an XFS filesystem. There are no guards that catch
the bio before the request function is called because we don't add a payload to
the bio. Instead, manually check this case as soon as we have a pointer to the
queue to flush.

while holding the BKL in these commands. All
of these are also done in other code paths without
the BKL, which leads me to the conclusion that
the BKL is not needed here either.
The reason we hold it here is that it was originally
