Pull NVMe write streams removal from Jens Axboe:
"This removes the write streams support in NVMe. No vendor ever really
shipped working support for this, and they are not interested in
supporting it.
With the NVMe support gone, we have nothing in the tree that supports
this. Remove passing around of the hints.
The only discussion point in this patchset imho is the fact that the
file specific write hint setting/getting fcntl helpers will now return
-1/EINVAL like they did before we supported write hints. No known
applications use these functions, I only know of one prototype that I
help do for RocksDB, and that's not used. That said, with a change
like this, it's always a bit controversial. Alternatively, we could
just make them return 0 and pretend it worked. It's placement based
hints after all"

blk-iocost and iolatency are cgroup aware rq-qos policies but they didn't
disable merges across different cgroups. This obviously can lead to
accounting and control errors but more importantly to priority inversions -
e.g. an IO which belongs to a higher priority cgroup or IO class may end up
getting throttled incorrectly because it gets merged to an IO issued from a
low priority cgroup.
Fix it by adding blk_cgroup_mergeable() which is called from merge paths and
rejects cross-cgroup and cross-issue_as_root merges.

Song reports that a RAID rebuild workload runs much slower recently,
and it is seeing a lot less merging than it did previously. The reason
is that a previous commit reduced the amount of work we do for plug
merging. RAID rebuild interleaves requests between disks, so a last-entry
check in plug merging always misses a merge opportunity since we always
find a different disk than what we are looking for.
Modify the logic such that it's still a one-hit cache, but ensure that
we check enough to find the right target before giving up.

Commit 111be8839817 ("block-throttle: avoid double charge") marks bio as
BIO_THROTTLED unconditionally if __blk_throtl_bio() is called on this bio,
then this bio won't be called into __blk_throtl_bio() any more. This way
is to avoid double charge in case of bio splitting. It is reasonable for
read/write throughput limit, but not reasonable for IOPS limit because
block layer provides io accounting against split bio.
Chunguang Xu has already observed this issue and fixed it in commit
4f1e9630afe6 ("blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO scenarios").
However, that patch only covers bio splitting in __blk_queue_split(), and
we have other kind of bio splitting, such as bio_split() &
submit_bio_noacct() and other ways.
This patch tries to fix the issue in one generic way by always charging
the bio for iops limit in blk_throtl_bio(). This way is reasonable:
re-submission & fast-cloned bio is charged if it is submitted to same
disk/queue, and BIO_THROTTLED will be cleared if bio->bi_bdev is changed.
This new approach can get much more smooth/stable iops limit compared with
commit 4f1e9630afe6 ("blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO
scenarios") since that commit can't throttle current split bios actually.
Also this way won't cause new double bio iops charge in
blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() in which blk_throtl_bio() won't be called
any more.

blk_mq_submit_bio has two different plug cases, one that uses full
plugging and a limited plugging one.
The limited plugging case is only used for a corner case that does
not matter in real life:
- no ->commit_rqs (so not NVMe)
- no shared tags (so not SCSI)
- not rotational (so no old disk or floppy driver)
- must have multiple queues (so no eMMC)
Remove the limited merging case and all the related junk to simplify
blk_mq_submit_bio and the functions called from it.

Use a singly linked list for the blk_plug. This saves 8 bytes in the
blk_plug struct, and makes for faster list manipulations than doubly
linked lists. As we don't use the doubly linked lists for anything,
singly linked is just fine.
This yields a bump in default (merging enabled) performance from 7.0
to 7.1M IOPS, and ~7.5M IOPS with merging disabled.

Currently we scan the entire plug list, which is potentially very
expensive. In an IOPS bound workload, we can drive about 5.6M IOPS with
merging enabled, and profiling shows that the plug merge check is the
(by far) most expensive thing we're doing:
Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
+ 20.89% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blk_attempt_plug_merge
+ 4.98% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] io_submit_sqes
+ 4.78% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blkdev_direct_IO
+ 4.61% io_uring [kernel.vmlinux] [k] blk_mq_submit_bio
Instead of browsing the whole list, just check the previously inserted
entry. That is enough for a naive merge check and will catch most cases,
and for devices that need full merging, the IO scheduler attached to
such devices will do that anyway. The plug merge is meant to be an
inexpensive check to avoid getting a request, but if we repeatedly
scan the list for every single insert, it is very much not a cheap
check.
With this patch, the workload instead runs at ~7.0M IOPS, providing
a 25% improvement. Disabling merging entirely yields another 5%
improvement.

After patch 54efd50 (block: make generic_make_request handle
arbitrarily sized bios), the IO through io-throttle may be larger,
and these IOs may be further split into more small IOs. However,
IOPS throttle does not seem to be aware of this change, which
makes the calculation of IOPS of large IOs incomplete, resulting
in disk-side IOPS that does not meet expectations. Maybe we should
fix this problem.
We can reproduce it by set max_sectors_kb of disk to 128, set
blkio.write_iops_throttle to 100, run a dd instance inside blkio
and use iostat to watch IOPS:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct
As a result, without this change the average IOPS is 1995, with
this change the IOPS is 98.

When merging one bio to request, if they are discard IO and the queue
supports multi-range discard, we need to return ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE
because both block core and related drivers(nvme, virtio-blk) doesn't
handle mixed discard io merge(traditional IO merge together with
discard merge) well.
Fix the issue by returning ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE in this situation,
so both blk-mq and drivers just need to handle multi-range discard.

ll_new_hw_segment() is reached only in case of single range discard
merge, and we don't have max discard segment size limit actually, so
it is wrong to run the following check:
if (req->nr_phys_segments + nr_phys_segs > blk_rq_get_max_segments(req))
it may be always false since req->nr_phys_segments is initialized as
one, and bio's segment count is still 1, blk_rq_get_max_segments(reg)
is 1 too.
Fix the issue by not doing the check and bypassing the calculation of
discard request's nr_phys_segments.

When a stacked block device inserts a request into another block device
using blk_insert_cloned_request, the request's nr_phys_segments field gets
recalculated by a call to blk_recalc_rq_segments in
blk_cloned_rq_check_limits. But blk_recalc_rq_segments does not know how to
handle multi-segment discards. For disk types which can handle
multi-segment discards like nvme, this results in discard requests which
claim a single segment when it should report several, triggering a warning
in nvme and causing nvme to fail the discard from the invalid state.

iopoll is initially for small size, latency sensitive IO. It doesn't
work well for big IO, especially when it needs to be split to multiple
bios. In this case, the returned cookie of __submit_bio_noacct_mq() is
indeed the cookie of the last split bio. The completion of *this* last
split bio done by iopoll doesn't mean the whole original bio has
completed. Callers of iopoll still need to wait for completion of other
split bios.
Besides bio splitting may cause more trouble for iopoll which isn't
supposed to be used in case of big IO.
iopoll for split bio may cause potential race if CPU migration happens
during bio submission. Since the returned cookie is that of the last
split bio, polling on the corresponding hardware queue doesn't help
complete other split bios, if these split bios are enqueued into
different hardware queues. Since interrupts are disabled for polling
queues, the completion of these other split bios depends on timeout
mechanism, thus causing a potential hang.
iopoll for split bio may also cause hang for sync polling. Currently
both the blkdev and iomap-based fs (ext4/xfs, etc) support sync polling
in direct IO routine. These routines will submit bio without REQ_NOWAIT
flag set, and then start sync polling in current process context. The
process may hang in blk_mq_get_tag() if the submitted bio has to be
split into multiple bios and can rapidly exhaust the queue depth. The
process are waiting for the completion of the previously allocated
requests, which should be reaped by the following polling, and thus
causing a deadlock.
To avoid these subtle trouble described above, just disable iopoll for
split bio and return BLK_QC_T_NONE in this case. The side effect is that
non-HIPRI IO also returns BLK_QC_T_NONE now. It should be acceptable
since the returned cookie is never used for non-HIPRI IO.

Commit 882ec4e609c1 ("dm table: stack 'chunk_sectors' limit to account
for target-specific splitting") caused a couple regressions:
1) Using lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors was a bug because
chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the
IO stack.
2) DM targets that set max_io_len but that do _not_ provide an
.iterate_devices method no longer had there IO split properly.
And commit 5091cdec56fa ("dm: change max_io_len() to use
blk_max_size_offset()") also caused a regression where DM no longer
supported varied (per target) IO splitting. The implication being the
potential for severely reduced performance for IO stacks that use a DM
target like dm-cache to hide performance limitations of a slower
device (e.g. one that requires 4K IO splitting).
Coming full circle: Fix all these issues by discontinuing stacking
chunk_sectors up using ti->max_io_len in dm_calculate_queue_limits(),
add optional chunk_sectors override argument to blk_max_size_offset()
and update DM's max_io_len() to pass ti->max_io_len to its
blk_max_size_offset() call.
Passing in an optional chunk_sectors override to blk_max_size_offset()
allows for code reuse of block's centralized calculation for max IO
size based on provided offset and split boundary.

Fixes: 5091cdec56fa ("dm: change max_io_len() to use blk_max_size_offset()")

Allocate hd_struct together with struct block_device to pre-load
the lifetime rule changes in preparation of merging the two structures.
Note that part0 was previously embedded into struct gendisk, but is
a separate allocation now, and already points to the block_device instead
of the hd_struct. The lifetime of struct gendisk is still controlled by
the struct device embedded in the part0 hd_struct.

return false for discard request, then normal request merge is applied.
However, only queue_max_segments() is checked, so max discard segment

the issue.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.
In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:
git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
xargs perl -pi -e \
's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'
drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.
No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

Currently blk-mq does not report any event when two requests get merged
in the elevator. This then results in difficult to understand sequence
of events like:
...
8,0 34 1579 0.608765271 2718 I WS 215023504 + 40 [dbench]
8,0 34 1584 0.609184613 2719 A WS 215023544 + 56 <- (8,4) 2160568
8,0 34 1585 0.609184850 2719 Q WS 215023544 + 56 [dbench]
8,0 34 1586 0.609188524 2719 G WS 215023544 + 56 [dbench]
8,0 3 602 0.609684162 773 D WS 215023504 + 96 [kworker/3:1H]
8,0 34 1591 0.609843593 0 C WS 215023504 + 96 [0]
and you can only guess (after quite some headscratching since the above
excerpt is intermixed with a lot of other IO) that request 215023544+56
got merged to request 215023504+40. Provide proper event for request
merging like we used to do in the legacy block layer.
