Bit 6 in the ANACAP field is used to indicate that the ANA group ID
doesn't change while the namespace is attached to the controller.
There is an optimisation in the code to only allocate space
for the ANA group header, as the namespace list won't change and
hence would not need to be refreshed.
However, this optimisation was never carried over to the actual
workflow, which always assumes that the buffer is large enough
to hold the ANA header _and_ the namespace list.
So drop this optimisation and always allocate enough space.

When nvme_init_identify() fails the ANA log buffer is deallocated
but _not_ set to NULL. This can cause double free oops when this
controller is deleted without ever being reconnected.

Instead of directly poking into the struct device add a new numa_node
field to struct nvme_ctrl.  This allows fabrics drivers where ctrl-&gt;dev
is a virtual device to support NUMA affinity as well.

Also expose the field as a sysfs attribute, and populate it for the
RDMA and FC transports.

<title>nvme-mpath: remove I/O polling support</title>

The -&gt;poll_fn has been stale for a while, as a lot of places check for mq
ops.  But there is no real point in it anyway, as we don't even use
the multipath code for subsystems without multiple ports, which is usually
what we do high performance I/O to.  If it really becomes an issue we
should rework the nvme code to also skip the multipath code for any
private namespace, even if that could mean some trouble when rescanning.

<title>block: make blk_poll() take a parameter on whether to spin or not</title>

blk_poll() has always kept spinning until it found an IO. This is
fine for SYNC polling, since we need to find one request we have
pending, but in preparation for ASYNC polling it can be beneficial
to just check if we have any entries available or not.

Existing callers are converted to pass in 'spin == true', to retain
the old behavior.

We currently only really support sync poll, ie poll with 1 IO in flight.
This prepares us for supporting async poll.

Note that the returned value isn't necessarily 100% accurate. If poll
races with IRQ completion, we assume that the fact that the task is now
runnable means we found at least one entry. In reality it could be more
than 1, or not even 1. This is fine, the caller will just need to take
this into account.

Merge in -rc3 to resolve a few conflicts, but also to get a few
important fixes that have gone into mainline since the block
4.21 branch was forked off (most notably the SCSI queue issue,
which is both a conflict AND needed fix).

Whenever we update ns_head info, we need to make sure it is still
compatible with all underlying backing devices because although nvme
multipath doesn't have any explicit use of these limits, other devices
can still be stacked on top of it which may rely on the underlying limits.
Start with unlimited stacking limits, and every info update iterate over
siblings and adjust queue limits.

The nvme namespace paths were being updated only when the current path
was not set or nonoptimized. If a new path comes online that is a better
path for its NUMA node, the multipath selector may continue using the
previously set path on a potentially further node.

This patch re-runs the path assignment after successfully adding a new
optimized path.
