<title>drbd: Drop unnecessary static</title>

Drop static on a local variable, when the variable is initialized before
any use, on every possible execution path through the function.  The
static has no benefit, and dropping it reduces the code size.

The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@bad exists@
position p;
identifier x;
type T;
@@

static T x@p;
...
x = &lt;+...x...+&gt;

@@
identifier x;
expression e;
type T;
position p != bad.p;
@@

-static
 T x@p;
 ... when != x
     when strict
?x = e;
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

The change in code size is indicates by the following output from the size
command.

before:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

<title>drbd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()</title>

<content type='text'>
drbd does not modify the bi_io_vec of the cloned bio,
so there is no need to clone that part.  So bio_clone_fast()
is the better choice.
For bio_clone_fast() we need to specify a bio_set.
We could use fs_bio_set, which bio_clone() uses, or
drbd_md_io_bio_set, which drbd uses for metadata, but it is
generally best to avoid sharing bio_sets unless you can
be certain that there are no interdependencies.

So create a new bio_set, drbd_io_bio_set, and use bio_clone_fast().

Also remove a "XXX cannot fail ???" comment because it definitely
cannot fail - bio_clone_fast() doesn't fail if the GFP flags allow for
sleeping.

<title>blk: make the bioset rescue_workqueue optional.</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch converts bioset_create() to not create a workqueue by
default, so alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer().  It
also introduces a new flag BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER which tells
bioset_create() to preserve the old behavior.

All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers,
are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag.

biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not
need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other
bios.  This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool,
btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by
target_core_iblock.c.

biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as
their usage was recently audited and revised to never
risk deadlock.

It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets
can end up being the non-rescued version.

<title>blk: replace bioset_create_nobvec() with a flags arg to bioset_create()</title>

<content type='text'>
"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow
easy extensibility.
bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in
flags passed to __bioset_create().

To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().

Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need
the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().

blk_queue_split() is always called with the last arg being q-&gt;bio_split,
where 'q' is the first arg.

Also blk_queue_split() sometimes uses the passed-in 'bs' and sometimes uses
q-&gt;bio_split.

This is inconsistent and unnecessary.  Remove the last arg and always use
q-&gt;bio_split inside blk_queue_split()

Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
