[ Upstream commit aa427d7b73b196f657d6d2cf0e94eff6b883fdef ]

Add a helper that freezes the queue, updates the queue limits and
unfreezes the queue and convert all open coded versions of that to the
new helper.

commit e70c301faece15b618e54b613b1fd6ece3dd05b4 upstream.

Add requests to the tail of the list instead of the front so that they
are queued up in submission order.

Remove the re-reordering in blk_mq_dispatch_plug_list, virtio_queue_rqs
and nvme_queue_rqs now that the list is ordered as expected.

commit a3396b99990d8b4e5797e7b16fdeb64c15ae97bb upstream.

Replace the semi-open coded request list helpers with a proper rq_list
type that mirrors the bio_list and has head and tail pointers.  Besides
better type safety this actually allows to insert at the tail of the
list, which will be useful soon.

<title>block: change blk_mq_add_to_batch() third argument type to bool</title>

[ Upstream commit 9bce6b5f8987678b9c6c1fe433af6b5fe41feadc ]

Commit 1f47ed294a2b ("block: cleanup and fix batch completion adding
conditions") modified the evaluation criteria for the third argument,
'ioerror', in the blk_mq_add_to_batch() function. Initially, the
function had checked if 'ioerror' equals zero. Following the commit, it
started checking for negative error values, with the presumption that
such values, for instance -EIO, would be passed in.

However, blk_mq_add_to_batch() callers do not pass negative error
values. Instead, they pass status codes defined in various ways:

- NVMe PCI and Apple drivers pass NVMe status code
- virtio_blk driver passes the virtblk request header status byte
- null_blk driver passes blk_status_t

These codes are either zero or positive, therefore the revised check
fails to function as intended. Specifically, with the NVMe PCI driver,
this modification led to the failure of the blktests test case nvme/039.
In this test scenario, errors are artificially injected to the NVMe
driver, resulting in positive NVMe status codes passed to
blk_mq_add_to_batch(), which unexpectedly processes the failed I/O in a
batch. Hence the failure.

To correct the ioerror check within blk_mq_add_to_batch(), make all
callers to uniformly pass the argument as boolean. Modify the callers to
check their specific status codes and pass the boolean value 'is_error'.
Also describe the arguments of blK_mq_add_to_batch as kerneldoc.

<title>virtio-blk: don't keep queue frozen during system suspend</title>

[ Upstream commit 7678abee0867e6b7fb89aa40f6e9f575f755fb37 ]

Commit 4ce6e2db00de ("virtio-blk: Ensure no requests in virtqueues before
deleting vqs.") replaces queue quiesce with queue freeze in virtio-blk's
PM callbacks. And the motivation is to drain inflight IOs before suspending.

block layer's queue freeze looks very handy, but it is also easy to cause
deadlock, such as, any attempt to call into bio_queue_enter() may run into
deadlock if the queue is frozen in current context. There are all kinds
of -&gt;suspend() called in suspend context, so keeping queue frozen in the
whole suspend context isn't one good idea. And Marek reported lockdep
warning[1] caused by virtio-blk's freeze queue in virtblk_freeze().

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/ca16370e-d646-4eee-b9cc-87277c89c43c@samsung.com/

Given the motivation is to drain in-flight IOs, it can be done by calling
freeze &amp; unfreeze, meantime restore to previous behavior by keeping queue
quiesced during suspend.

[ Upstream commit 7f212e997edbb7a2cb85cef2ac14265dfaf88717 ]

blk_mq_flush_plug_list submits requests in the reverse order that they
were submitted, which leads to a rather suboptimal I/O pattern
especially in rotational devices. Fix this by rewriting virtio_queue_rqs
so that it always pops the requests from the passed in request list, and
then adds them to the head of a local submit list. This actually
simplifies the code a bit as it removes the complicated list splicing,
at the cost of extra updates of the rq_next pointer. As that should be
cache hot anyway it should be an easy price to pay.
