<title>block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio-&gt;bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

<title>dm raid: fix use of wrong status char during resynchronization</title>

During a resynchronization, device status char 'a' is output on the raid
status line for every device of a RAID set.  It changes from 'a' to 'A'
(unless device failure) when the resynchronization completes.

Interrupting and restarting a resynchronization, by reloading the DM
table, erroneously lead to status char 'A'.

Fix this by avoiding setting the MD_RECOVERY_REQUESTED flag in
raid_preresume().

When lvm2 userspace requests a RaidLV repair, it sets the rebuild
constructor flag on the new replacement DataLVs but does not clear the
respective MetaLVs.  Hence the superblock that is loaded from such new
MetaLVs may have a non-zero incompat_features member and the constructor
will fail with false-positive on incompat_features.

Solve by initializing the incompat_features member properly.

<title>dm: set DMF_SUSPENDED* _before_ clearing DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING</title>

Otherwise, there is potential for both DMF_SUSPENDED* and
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING to not be set during dm_suspend() -- which is
definitely _not_ a valid state.

This fix, in conjuction with "dm rq: fix the starting and stopping of
blk-mq queues", addresses the potential for request-based DM multipath's
__multipath_map() to see !dm_noflush_suspending() during suspend.

Improve dm_stop_queue() to cancel any requeue_work.  Also, have
dm_start_queue() and dm_stop_queue() clear/set the QUEUE_FLAG_STOPPED
for the blk-mq request_queue.

On suspend dm_stop_queue() handles stopping the blk-mq request_queue
BUT: even though the hw_queues are marked BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED at that point
there is still a race that is allowing block/blk-mq.c to call -&gt;queue_rq
against a hctx that it really shouldn't.  Add a check to
dm_mq_queue_rq() that guards against this rarity (albeit _not_
race-free).

When the corrupt_bio_byte feature was introduced it caused READ bios to
no longer be errored with -EIO during the down_interval.  This had to do
with the complexity of needing to submit READs if the corrupt_bio_byte
feature was used.

Fix it so READ bios are properly errored with -EIO; doing so early in
flakey_map() as long as there isn't a match for the corrupt_bio_byte
feature.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:

 - Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.

   The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
   deprecated.  Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
   either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.

   ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
   to the memory controller on a power-fail event.

   Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
   Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
   A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
   that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
   flushed to media.

 - On-demand ARS (address range scrub).

   Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
   in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
   media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
   re-scrub at any time.

 - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
   format.

 - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

 - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.
