Pull QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH removal from Jens Axboe:
"This contains a series leading to the removal of the
QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH queue flag"
* tag 'for-5.16/passthrough-flag-2021-10-29' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
block: remove blk_{get,put}_request
block: remove QUEUE_FLAG_SCSI_PASSTHROUGH
block: remove the initialize_rq_fn blk_mq_ops method
scsi: add a scsi_alloc_request helper
bsg-lib: initialize the bsg_job in bsg_transport_sg_io_fn

block: add a ->get_unique_id method
No need to pre-allocate a big buffer for the IO SGL anymore. If a device
has lots of deep queues, preallocation for the sg list can consume
substantial amounts of memory. For HW virtio-blk device, nr_hw_queues
can be 64 or 128 and each queue's depth might be 128. This means the
resulting preallocation for the data SGLs is big.
Switch to runtime allocation for SGL for lists longer than 2 entries.
This is the approach used by NVMe drivers so it should be reasonable for
virtio block as well. Runtime SGL allocation has always been the case
for the legacy I/O path so this is nothing new.
The preallocated small SGL depends on SG_CHAIN so if the ARCH doesn't
support SG_CHAIN, use only runtime allocation for the SGL.
Re-organize the setup of the IO request to fit the new sg chain
mechanism.
No performance degradation was seen (fio libaio engine with 16 jobs and
128 iodepth):
IO size IOPs Rand Read (before/after) IOPs Rand Write (before/after)

Support for cyrptoloop has been officially marked broken and deprecated
in favor of dm-crypt (which supports the same broken algorithms if
needed) in Linux 2.6.4 (released in March 2004), and support for it has
been entirely removed from losetup in util-linux 2.23 (released in April
2013). The XOR transfer has never been more than a toy to demonstrate
the transfer in the bad old times of crypto export restrictions.
Remove them as they have some nasty interactions with loop device life
times due to the iteration over all loop devices in
loop_unregister_transfer.

Add a new helper that calls blk_get_request and initializes the
scsi_request to avoid the indirect call through ->.initialize_rq_fn.
Note that this makes the pktcdvd driver depend on the SCSI core, but
given that only SCSI devices support SCSI passthrough requests that
is not a functional change.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
"This series consists of the usual driver updates (ufs, qla2xxx,

Since commit 84af7a6194 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over

decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.
There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

Since the need for a special flag to support SCSI passthrough on a
block device was added in May 2017 the SCSI passthrough support in
virtio-blk has been disabled. It has always been a bad idea
(just ask the original author..) and we have virtio-scsi for proper
passthrough. The feature also never made it into the virtio 1.0
or later specifications.

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.
Also since commit f467c5640c ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:
...
One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
the following two definitions behave exactly the same:
config FOO
bool
config FOO
bool
default n
With this change, neither of these will generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
redundant.
