<title>block: add BLK_MQ_POLL_CLASSIC for hybrid poll and return EINVAL for unexpected value</title>

<id>29ece8b4354f8c5eaee798a3d8a1b356efee426f</id>
<content type='text'>
For q-&gt;poll_nsec == -1, means doing classic poll, not hybrid poll.
We introduce a new flag BLK_MQ_POLL_CLASSIC to replace -1, which
may make code much easier to read.

Additionally, since val is an int obtained with kstrtoint(), val can be
a negative value other than -1, so return -EINVAL for that case.

Thanks to Damien Le Moal for some good suggestion.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly update of the usual drivers: arcmsr, qla2xxx, lpfc,
  hisi_sas, target/iscsi and target/core.

  Additionally Christoph refactored gdth as part of the dma changes. The
  major mid-layer change this time is the removal of bidi commands and
  with them the whole of the osd/exofs driver and filesystem. This is a
  major simplification for block and mq in particular"

Since bdced438acd83ad83a6c ("block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting"),
physical segment number is mainly figured out in blk_queue_split() for
fast path, and the flag of BIO_SEG_VALID is set there too.

Now only blk_recount_segments() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() use this
flag.

Basically blk_recount_segments() is bypassed in fast path given BIO_SEG_VALID
is set in blk_queue_split().

For another user of blk_recalc_rq_segments():

- run in partial completion branch of blk_update_request, which is an unusual case

- run in blk_cloned_rq_check_limits(), still not a big problem if the flag is killed
since dm-rq is the only user.

Multi-page bvec is enabled now, not doing S/G merging is rather pointless with the
current setup of the I/O path, as it isn't going to save you a significant amount
of cycles.

bio_for_each_bvec() is used for iterating over multi-page bvec for bio
split &amp; merge code.

rq_for_each_bvec() can be used for drivers which may handle the
multi-page bvec directly, so far loop is one perfect use case.

We have QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT defined, but it's not used anymore since
the legacy IO stack is gone. Kill it.

Sanitize the queue flags in general, they use spaces (for some
reason), and the space is pretty sparse. With the flags renumbered,
we can more clearly see how many we have available.

a helper to check if the queue supports queueable flushes or not.
But nobody uses them anymore, kill it with fire.

  The big API change is the updates for Christoph's DMA rework which
