Commit a1ce35fa49852db60fc6e268038530be533c5b15 ("block: remove dead
elevator code") removed all users of RQF_SORTED. However it is still
defined, and there is one reference left to it (which in effect is
dead code). Clear it all up.

Commit a1ce35fa4985 ("block: remove dead elevator code") removed the last
callers of blk_pm_requeue_request(), blk_pm_add_request() and
blk_pm_put_request(). Hence remove the definitions of these functions.
Removing these functions removes all users of the struct request nr_pending
member. Hence also remove 'nr_pending'. Note: 'nr_pending' is no longer
used since commit 7cedffec8e75 ("block: Make blk_get_request() block for
non-PM requests while suspended").

<title>blk-mq: Use llist_head for blk_cpu_done</title>

With llist_head it is possible to avoid the locking (the irq-off region)
when items are added. This makes it possible to add items on a remote
CPU without additional locking.
llist_add() returns true if the list was previously empty. This can be
used to invoke the SMP function call / raise sofirq only if the first
item was added (otherwise it is already pending).
This simplifies the code a little and reduces the IRQ-off regions.

blk_mq_raise_softirq() needs a preempt-disable section to ensure the
request is enqueued on the same CPU as the softirq is raised.
Some callers (USB-storage) invoke this path in preemptible context.

<title>block: introduce zone_write_granularity limit</title>
<updated>2021-02-10T14:44:40+00:00</updated>

<id>a805a4fa4fa376bbc145762bb8b09caa2fa8af48</id>
<content type='text'>
Per ZBC and ZAC specifications, host-managed SMR hard-disks mandate that
all writes into sequential write required zones be aligned to the device
physical block size. However, NVMe ZNS does not have this constraint and
allows write operations into sequential zones to be aligned to the
device logical block size. This inconsistency does not help with
software portability across device types.

To solve this, introduce the zone_write_granularity queue limit to
indicate the alignment constraint, in bytes, of write operations into
zones of a zoned block device. This new limit is exported as a
read-only sysfs queue attribute and the helper
blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() introduced for drivers to set this
limit.

The function blk_queue_set_zoned() is modified to set this new limit to
the device logical block size by default. NVMe ZNS devices as well as
zoned nullb devices use this default value as is. The scsi disk driver
is modified to execute the blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() helper to
set the zone write granularity of host-managed SMR disks to the disk
physical block size.

The accessor functions queue_zone_write_granularity() and
bdev_zone_write_granularity() are also introduced.

We can remove 'q' from blk_execute_rq as well after the previous change
in blk_execute_rq_nowait.

And more importantly it never really was needed to start with given
that we can trivial derive it from struct request.
