Pull in block-5.7 fixes for 5.8. Mostly to resolve a conflict with
the blk-iocost changes, but we also need the base of the bdi
use-after-free as well as we build on top of it.

* block-5.7:
  nvme: fix possible hang when ns scanning fails during error recovery
  nvme-pci: fix "slimmer CQ head update"
  bdi: add a -&gt;dev_name field to struct backing_dev_info
  bdi: use bdi_dev_name() to get device name
  bdi: move bdi_dev_name out of line
  vboxsf: don't use the source name in the bdi name
  iocost: protect iocg-&gt;abs_vdebt with iocg-&gt;waitq.lock
  block: remove the bd_openers checks in blk_drop_partitions
  nvme: prevent double free in nvme_alloc_ns() error handling
  null_blk: Cleanup zoned device initialization
  null_blk: Fix zoned command handling
  block: remove unused header
  blk-iocost: Fix error on iocost_ioc_vrate_adj
  bdev: Reduce time holding bd_mutex in sync in blkdev_close()
  buffer: remove useless comment and WB_REASON_FREE_MORE_MEM, reason.

<title>blk-iocost: switch to fixed non-auto-decaying use_delay</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=54c52e10dc9b939084a7e6e3d32ce8fd8dee7898'/>
<id>54c52e10dc9b939084a7e6e3d32ce8fd8dee7898</id>
<content type='text'>
The use_delay mechanism was introduced by blk-iolatency to hold memory
allocators accountable for the reclaim and other shared IOs they cause. The
duration of the delay is dynamically balanced between iolatency increasing the
value on each target miss and it auto-decaying as time passes and threads get
delayed on it.

While this works well for iolatency, iocost's control model isn't compatible
with it. There is no repeated "violation" events which can be balanced against
auto-decaying. iocost instead knows how much a given cgroup is over budget and
wants to prevent that cgroup from issuing IOs while over budget. Until now,
iocost has been adding the cost of force-issued IOs. However, this doesn't
reflect the amount which is already over budget and is simply not enough to
counter the auto-decaying allowing anon-memory leaking low priority cgroup to
go over its alloted share of IOs.

As auto-decaying doesn't make much sense for iocost, this patch introduces a
different mode of operation for use_delay - when blkcg_set_delay() are used
insted of blkcg_add/use_delay(), the delay duration is not auto-decayed until it
is explicitly cleared with blkcg_clear_delay(). iocost is updated to keep the
delay duration synchronized to the budget overage amount.

With this change, iocost can effectively police cgroups which generate
significant amount of force-issued IOs.

blkcg-&gt;cgwb_refcnt is used to delay blkcg offlining so that blkgs
don't get offlined while there are active cgwbs on them.  However, it
ends up making offlining unordered sometimes causing parents to be
offlined before children.

Let's fix this by making child blkcgs pin the parents' online states.

Note that pin/unpin names are chosen over get/put intentionally
because css uses get/put online for something different.

To fix it, we want child blkcgs to pin the parents' online states
turning the refcnt into a more generic online pinning mechanism.

In prepartion,

* blkcg-&gt;cgwb_refcnt -&gt; blkcg-&gt;online_pin
* blkcg_cgwb_get/put() -&gt; blkcg_pin/unpin_online()
* Take them out of CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper.  Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter.  A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.

<title>blk-cgroup: reimplement basic IO stats using cgroup rstat</title>

blk-cgroup has been using blkg_rwstat to track basic IO stats.
Unfortunately, reading recursive stats scales badly as itinvolves
walking all descendants.  On systems with a huge number of cgroups
(dead or alive), this can lead to substantial CPU cost when reading IO
stats.

This patch reimplements basic IO stats using cgroup rstat which uses
more memory but makes recursive stat reading O(# descendants which
have been active since last reading) instead of O(# descendants).

* blk-cgroup core no longer uses sync/async stats.  Introduce new stat
  enums - BLKG_IOSTAT_{READ|WRITE|DISCARD}.

* Add blkg_iostat[_set] which encapsulates byte and io stats, last
  values for propagation delta calculation and u64_stats_sync for
  correctness on 32bit archs.

* Update the new percpu stat counters directly and implement
  blkcg_rstat_flush() to implement propagation.

* blkg_print_stat() can now bring the stats up to date by calling
  cgroup_rstat_flush() and print them instead of directly summing up
  all descendants.

* It now allocates 96 bytes per cpu.  It used to be 40 bytes.
