Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Small set of fixes for this series. Mostly just minor fixes, the only
  oddball in here is the sg change.

  The sg change came out of the stall fix for NVMe, where we added a
  mempool and limited us to a single page allocation. CONFIG_SG_DEBUG
  sort-of ruins that, since we'd need to account for that. That's
  actually a generic problem, since lots of drivers need to allocate SG
  lists. So this just removes support for CONFIG_SG_DEBUG, which I added
  back in 2007 and to my knowledge it was never useful.

  Anyway, outside of that, this pull contains:

   - clone of request with special payload fix (Bart)

   - drbd discard handling fix (Bart)

   - SATA blk-mq stall fix (me)

   - chunk size fix (Keith)

   - double free nvme rdma fix (Sagi)"

This was introduced more than a decade ago when sg chaining was
added, but we never really caught anything with it. The scatterlist
entry size can be critical, since drivers allocate it, so remove
the magic member. Recently it's been triggering allocation stalls
and failures in NVMe.

<title>slub: fix failure when we delete and create a slab cache</title>

<name>Mikulas Patocka</name>
<email>mpatocka@redhat.com</email>

<id>d50d82faa0c964e31f7a946ba8aba7c715ca7ab0</id>
<content type='text'>
In kernel 4.17 I removed some code from dm-bufio that did slab cache
merging (commit 21bb13276768: "dm bufio: remove code that merges slab
caches") - both slab and slub support merging caches with identical
attributes, so dm-bufio now just calls kmem_cache_create and relies on
implicit merging.

This uncovered a bug in the slub subsystem - if we delete a cache and
immediatelly create another cache with the same attributes, it fails
because of duplicate filename in /sys/kernel/slab/.  The slub subsystem
offloads freeing the cache to a workqueue - and if we create the new
cache before the workqueue runs, it complains because of duplicate
filename in sysfs.

This patch fixes the bug by moving the call of kobject_del from
sysfs_slab_remove_workfn to shutdown_cache.  kobject_del must be called
while we hold slab_mutex - so that the sysfs entry is deleted before a
cache with the same attributes could be created.

Running device-mapper-test-suite with:

  dmtest run --suite thin-provisioning -n /commit_failure_causes_fallback/

In kernel 4.17 I removed some code from dm-bufio that did slab cache
merging (commit 21bb13276768: "dm bufio: remove code that merges slab
caches") - both slab and slub support merging caches with identical
attributes, so dm-bufio now just calls kmem_cache_create and relies on
implicit merging.

This uncovered a bug in the slub subsystem - if we delete a cache and
immediatelly create another cache with the same attributes, it fails
because of duplicate filename in /sys/kernel/slab/.  The slub subsystem
offloads freeing the cache to a workqueue - and if we create the new
cache before the workqueue runs, it complains because of duplicate
filename in sysfs.

This patch fixes the bug by moving the call of kobject_del from
sysfs_slab_remove_workfn to shutdown_cache.  kobject_del must be called
while we hold slab_mutex - so that the sysfs entry is deleted before a
cache with the same attributes could be created.

<title>Revert changes to convert to -&gt;poll_mask() and aio IOCB_CMD_POLL</title>

The poll() changes were not well thought out, and completely
unexplained.  They also caused a huge performance regression, because
"-&gt;poll()" was no longer a trivial file operation that just called down
to the underlying file operations, but instead did at least two indirect
calls.

Indirect calls are sadly slow now with the Spectre mitigation, but the
performance problem could at least be largely mitigated by changing the
"-&gt;get_poll_head()" operation to just have a per-file-descriptor pointer
to the poll head instead.  That gets rid of one of the new indirections.

But that doesn't fix the new complexity that is completely unwarranted
for the regular case.  The (undocumented) reason for the poll() changes
was some alleged AIO poll race fixing, but we don't make the common case
slower and more complex for some uncommon special case, so this all
really needs way more explanations and most likely a fundamental
redesign.

[ This revert is a revert of about 30 different commits, not reverted
  individually because that would just be unnecessarily messy  - Linus ]
