Commit 889fa31f00b2 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"

* 'for-4.1/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  blk-mq: reduce unnecessary software queue looping
  aio: fix serial draining in exit_aio()
  blk-mq: cleanup blk_mq_rq_to_pdu()
  blk-mq: put blk_queue_rq_timeout together in blk_mq_init_queue()
  block: remove redundant check about 'set-&gt;nr_hw_queues' in blk_mq_alloc_tag_set()
  block: allocate request memory local to request queue
  blk-mq: don't wait in blk_mq_queue_enter() if __GFP_WAIT isn't set

In flush_busy_ctxs() and blk_mq_hctx_has_pending(), regardless of how many
ctxs assigned to one hctx, they will all loop hctx-&gt;ctx_map.map_size
times. Here hctx-&gt;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 -&gt;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().

Jan Engelhardt reports a strange oops with an invalid -&gt;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.

<title>block: fix blk_stack_limits() regression due to lcm() change</title>

<name>Mike Snitzer</name>

<id>e9637415a92cf25ad800b7fdeddcd30cce7b44ab</id>
<content type='text'>
Linux 3.19 commit 69c953c ("lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n")
caused blk_stack_limits() to not properly stack queue_limits for stacked
devices (e.g. DM).

Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching
blk_stack_limits() over to using it.

DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level
queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits
using blk_stack_limits().  In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt)
blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0.  With commit
69c953c, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of
the underlying devices' io_opt.

Test:
$ modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=10 num_tgts=1 opt_blks=1536
$ cat /sys/block/sde/queue/optimal_io_size
786432
$ dmsetup create node --table "0 100 linear /dev/sde 0"

Before this fix:
$ cat /sys/block/dm-5/queue/optimal_io_size
0

After this fix:
$ cat /sys/block/dm-5/queue/optimal_io_size
786432
