Don't make any assumptions on the sg_io_hdr_t::dxfer_direction or the
sg_io_hdr_t::dxferp in order to determine if it is a valid request. The
only way we can check for bad requests is by checking if the length
exceeds 256M.

dxfer_len is an unsigned int and we always assign a value &gt; 0 to it, so
it doesn't make any sense to check if it is &lt; 0. We can't really check
dxferp as well as we have both NULL and not NULL cases in the possible
call paths.

So just return true for SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV transfer in
sg_is_valid_dxfer().

SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV transfers do not necessarily have a dxferp as we set
it to NULL for the old sg_io read/write interface, but must have a
length bigger than 0. This fixes a regression introduced by commit
28676d869bbb ("scsi: sg: check for valid direction before starting the
request")

<title>block: Make most scsi_req_init() calls implicit</title>

Instead of explicitly calling scsi_req_init() after blk_get_request(),
call that function from inside blk_get_request(). Add an
.initialize_rq_fn() callback function to the block drivers that need
it. Merge the IDE .init_rq_fn() function into .initialize_rq_fn()
because it is too small to keep it as a separate function. Keep the
scsi_req_init() call in ide_prep_sense() because it follows a
blk_rq_init() call.

<title>block: introduce new block status code type</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

If the list search in sg_get_rq_mark() fails to find a valid request, we
return a bogus element. This then can later lead to a GPF in
sg_remove_scat().

So don't return bogus Sg_requests in sg_get_rq_mark() but NULL in case
the list search doesn't find a valid request.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
   was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
   fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
   to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
   From Paolo.

 - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
   using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
   live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.

 - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
   devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
   times, solving various problems with hot removal.

 - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
   'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
   device.

 - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.

 - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
   legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
   queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
   more than a decade.

 - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
   windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
   register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.

 - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
   framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
   blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
   marked experimental for now.

 - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
   efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
   IO.

 - A few fixes for opal, from Scott.

 - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
   From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.

 - A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from
   the blk-mq debugfs support.

 - A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES.

 - A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
   we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also
   shrinks the size of struct request a bit.

 - Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph. The former was
   never used by platforms, and the latter has outlived it's usefulness.

 - Various little bug fixes and cleanups from a wide variety of folks.

* 'for-4.12/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (329 commits)

  block: add kblock_mod_delayed_work_on()
  blk-mq: unify hctx delayed_run_work and run_work
  nbd: fix use after free on module unload
  MAINTAINERS: bfq: Add Paolo as maintainer for the BFQ I/O scheduler

  mtip32xx: use runtime tag to initialize command header
  scsi: Implement blk_mq_ops.show_rq()
  blk-mq: Add blk_mq_ops.show_rq()
  blk-mq: Show operation, cmd_flags and rq_flags names
  blk-mq: Make blk_flags_show() callers append a newline character
  blk-mq: Move the "state" debugfs attribute one level down
  blk-mq: Unregister debugfs attributes earlier
  blk-mq: Only unregister hctxs for which registration succeeded
  blk-mq-debugfs: Rename functions for registering and unregistering the mq directory
  blk-mq: Let blk_mq_debugfs_register() look up the queue name
  blk-mq: Register &lt;dev&gt;/queue/mq after having registered &lt;dev&gt;/queue
  ide-pm: always pass 0 error to ide_complete_rq in ide_do_devset

<title>scsi: sg: reset 'res_in_use' after unlinking reserved array</title>

Once the reserved page array is unused we can reset the 'res_in_use'
state; here we can do a lazy update without holding the mutex as we only
need to check against concurrent access, not concurrent release.
