Converting milliseconds to jiffies by "val * HZ / 1000" is technically
OK but msecs_to_jiffies(val) is the cleaner solution and handles all
corner cases correctly.

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
 "The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the
  rest is fairly minor.  It was supposed to go in last round, but
  various issues pushed it to this release instead.  The pull request
  contains:

   - Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks.  Nothing major
     here, just minor fixes and cleanups.

   - Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code
     from Christian Engelmayer.

   - Header export fix from CaiZhiyong.

   - Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet.  This
     enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios
     possible, and splitting more efficient.  Related fixes to immutable
     bio_vecs:

        - dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer.
        - btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar.

  - bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable"

<content type='text'>
Starting with commit c0820cf5ad095 ("dm: introduce per_bio_data"),
device mapper has the capability to pre-allocate a target-specific
structure with the bio.

This patch changes dm-delay to use this facility instead of a slab cache
and mempool.

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To
implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done
member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames
things.

<title>dm delay: fix a possible deadlock due to shared workqueue</title>

<content type='text'>
The dm-delay target uses a shared workqueue for multiple instances.  This
can cause deadlock if two or more dm-delay targets are stacked on the top
of each other.

This patch changes dm-delay to use a per-instance workqueue.

Use 'bio' in the name of variables and functions that deal with
bios rather than 'request' to avoid confusion with the normal
block layer use of 'request'.

No functional changes.

Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
buffer.

When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
calls ti-&gt;type-&gt;status. If ti-&gt;type-&gt;status returns non-zero,
retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.

However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.

If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.

In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
* dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
  key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
* dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
  This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
  code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
* all the other targets always return 0.

This patch changes the ti-&gt;type-&gt;status function to return void (because
most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

This patch removes map_info from bio-based device mapper targets.
map_info is still used for request-based targets.

Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin
pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible.

The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if
the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target
through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn.

The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the
'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76
onwards.
