Add basic support for polling for specific IO to complete. This uses
the cookie that blk-mq passes back, which enables the block layer
to pass this cookie to the driver to spin for a specific request.

This will be combined with request latency tracking, so we can make
qualified decisions about when to poll and when not to. For now, for
benchmark purposes, we add a sysfs file that controls whether polling
is enabled or not.

<title>block: generic request_queue reference counting</title>

<content type='text'>
Allow pmem, and other synchronous/bio-based block drivers, to fallback
on a per-cpu reference count managed by the core for tracking queue
live/dead state.

The existing per-cpu reference count for the blk_mq case is promoted to
be used in all block i/o scenarios.  This involves initializing it by
default, waiting for it to drop to zero at exit, and holding a live
reference over the invocation of q-&gt;make_request_fn() in
generic_make_request().  The blk_mq code continues to take its own
reference per blk_mq request and retains the ability to freeze the
queue, but the check that the queue is frozen is moved to
generic_make_request().

This fixes crash signatures like the following:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff880140000000

<title>blk-mq: fix deadlock when reading cpu_list</title>

<content type='text'>
CPU hotplug handling for blk-mq (blk_mq_queue_reinit) acquires
all_q_mutex in blk_mq_queue_reinit_notify() and then removes sysfs
entries by blk_mq_sysfs_unregister().  Removing sysfs entry needs to
be blocked until the active reference of the kernfs_node to be zero.

On the other hand, reading blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpu sysfs entry (e.g.
/sys/block/nullb0/mq/0/cpu_list) acquires all_q_mutex in
blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show().

If these happen at the same time, a deadlock can happen.  Because one
can wait for the active reference to be zero with holding all_q_mutex,
and the other tries to acquire all_q_mutex with holding the active
reference.

The reason that all_q_mutex is acquired in blk_mq_hw_sysfs_cpus_show()
is to avoid reading an imcomplete hctx-&gt;cpumask.  Since reading sysfs
entry for blk-mq needs to acquire q-&gt;sysfs_lock, we can avoid deadlock
and reading an imcomplete hctx-&gt;cpumask by protecting q-&gt;sysfs_lock
while hctx-&gt;cpumask is being updated.

<title>blk-mq: fix sysfs registration/unregistration race</title>

There is a race between cpu hotplug handling and adding/deleting
gendisk for blk-mq, where both are trying to register and unregister
the same sysfs entries.

null_add_dev
    --&gt; blk_mq_init_queue
        --&gt; blk_mq_init_allocated_queue
            --&gt; add to 'all_q_list' (*)
    --&gt; add_disk
        --&gt; blk_register_queue
            --&gt; blk_mq_register_disk (++)

null_del_dev
    --&gt; del_gendisk
        --&gt; blk_unregister_queue
            --&gt; blk_mq_unregister_disk (--)
    --&gt; blk_cleanup_queue
        --&gt; blk_mq_free_queue
            --&gt; del from 'all_q_list' (*)

blk_mq_queue_reinit
    --&gt; blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-)
    --&gt; blk_mq_sysfs_register (+)

While the request queue is added to 'all_q_list' (*),
blk_mq_queue_reinit() can be called for the queue anytime by CPU
hotplug callback.  But blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-) and
blk_mq_sysfs_register (+) in blk_mq_queue_reinit must not be called
before blk_mq_register_disk (++) and after blk_mq_unregister_disk (--)
is finished.  Because '/sys/block/*/mq/' is not exists.

There has already been BLK_MQ_F_SYSFS_UP flag in hctx-&gt;flags which can
be used to track these sysfs stuff, but it is only fixing this issue
partially.

In order to fix it completely, we just need per-queue flag instead of
per-hctx flag with appropriate locking.  So this introduces
q-&gt;mq_sysfs_init_done which is properly protected with all_q_mutex.

Also, we need to ensure that blk_mq_map_swqueue() is called with
all_q_mutex is held.  Since hctx-&gt;nr_ctx is reset temporarily and
updated in blk_mq_map_swqueue(), so we should avoid
blk_mq_register_hctx() seeing the temporary hctx-&gt;nr_ctx value
in CPU hotplug handling or adding/deleting gendisk .

There may be lots of pending requests so that the buffer of PAGE_SIZE
can't hold them at all.

One typical example is scsi-mq, the queue depth(.can_queue) of
scsi_host and blk-mq is quite big but scsi_device's queue_depth
is a bit small(.cmd_per_lun), then it is quite easy to have lots
of pending requests in hw queue.

This patch fixes the following warning and the related memory
destruction.

<title>blk-mq: add blk_mq_init_allocated_queue and export blk_mq_register_disk</title>

<id>b62c21b71f08b7a4bfd025616ff1da2913a82904</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

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 shouldn't have been freed before the kobject
is released because driver core can access it freely before its
release.

This patch frees hctx in its release callback. For ctx, they
share one single per-cpu variable which is associated with
the request queue, so free ctx in q-&gt;mq_kobj's release handler.

When a CPU is hotplugged, the current blk-mq spews a warning like:

This is indeed because of an uninitialized kobject for blk_mq_ctx.
The blk_mq_ctx kobjects are initialized in blk_mq_sysfs_init(), but it
goes loop over hctx_for_each_ctx(), i.e. it initializes only for
online CPUs.  Thus, when a CPU is hotplugged, the ctx for the newly
onlined CPU is registered without initialization.

This patch fixes the issue by initializing the all ctx kobjects
belonging to each queue.

<title>blk-mq, percpu_ref: start q-&gt;mq_usage_counter in atomic mode</title>

blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze.  percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period.  This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time.  One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.

Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs.  This means that SCSI probing may take above ten seconds when
scsi-mq is used.

This is also the reason why request_queues start in bypass mode which
is ended on blk_register_queue() as shutting down a fully functional
queue also involves a RCU grace period and the queues for non-existent
SCSI devices never reach registration.

blk-mq basically needs to do the same thing - start the mq in a
degraded mode which is faster to shut down and then make it fully
functional only after the queue reaches registration.  percpu_ref
recently grew facilities to force atomic operation until explicitly
switched to percpu mode, which can be used for this purpose.  This
patch makes blk-mq initialize q-&gt;mq_usage_counter in atomic mode and
switch it to percpu mode only once blk_register_queue() is reached.

Note that this issue was previously worked around by 0a30288da1ae
("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during
probe") for v3.17.  The temp fix was reverted in preparation of adding
persistent atomic mode to percpu_ref by 9eca80461a45 ("Revert "blk-mq,
percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe"").
This patch and the prerequisite percpu_ref changes will be merged
during v3.18 devel cycle.
