Recently found a bug where a driver left bi_next not NULL and then
called bio_endio(), and then the submitter of the bio used
bio_copy_data() which was treating src and dst as lists of bios.
Fixed that bug by splitting out bio_list_copy_data(), but in case other
things are depending on bi_next in weird ways, add a warning to help
avoid more bugs like that in the future.

Found a bug (with ASAN) where we were passing a bio to bio_copy_data()
with bi_next not NULL, when it should have been - a driver had left
bi_next set to something after calling bio_endio().
Since the normal case is only copying single bios, split out
bio_list_copy_data() to avoid more bugs like this in the future.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block IO related changes for the
4.16 kernel. Nothing major in this pull request, but a good amount of
improvements and fixes all over the map. This contains:
- BFQ improvements, fixes, and cleanups from Angelo, Chiara, and
Paolo.
- Support for SMR zones for deadline and mq-deadline from Damien and
Christoph.
- Set of fixes for bcache by way of Michael Lyle, including fixes
from himself, Kent, Rui, Tang, and Coly.
- Series from Matias for lightnvm with fixes from Hans Holmberg,

If a bio is throttled and split after throttling, the bio could be
resubmited and enters the throttling again. This will cause part of the
bio to be charged multiple times. If the cgroup has an IO limit, the
double charge will significantly harm the performance. The bio split
becomes quite common after arbitrary bio size change.
To fix this, we always set the BIO_THROTTLED flag if a bio is throttled.
If the bio is cloned/split, we copy the flag to new bio too to avoid a
double charge. However, cloned bio could be directed to a new disk,
keeping the flag be a problem. The observation is we always set new disk
for the bio in this case, so we can clear the flag in bio_set_dev().
This issue exists for a long time, arbitrary bio size change just makes
it worse, so this should go into stable at least since v4.2.

The warning is a false positive, caused by the fact that all
wait_for_completion()s in submit_bio_wait() are waiting with the same
lock class.
However, some bios have nothing to do with others, for example in the case
of loop devices, there's no direct connection between the bios of an upper
device and the bios of a lower device(=loop device).
The safest way to assign different lock classes to different devices is
to do it for each gendisk. In other words, this patch assigns a
lockdep_map per gendisk and uses it when initializing completion in
submit_bio_wait().

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

bio_free isn't a good place to free cgroup info. There are a
lot of cases bio is allocated in special way (for example, in stack) and
never gets called by bio_put hence bio_free, we are leaking memory. This
patch moves the free to bio endio, which should be called anyway. The
bio_uninit call in bio_free is kept, in case the bio never gets called
bio endio.
This assumes ->bi_end_io() doesn't access cgroup info, which seems true
in my audit.

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some

This pull request contains:
- A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
different schemes for different places.
- Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
scheduler interactions in blk-mq.
- And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
and do bounce buffering in the block layer.
- A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
hangs or stalls.
- Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
differences across types of devices.
- A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.
- Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
that of the underlying device.
- Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
lightnvm, particular around pblk.
- A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
amplification.
- A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.
- Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.
- A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
don't really need them.

Wen reports significant memory leaks with DIF and O_DIRECT:
"With nvme devive + T10 enabled, On a system it has 256GB and started
logging /proc/meminfo & /proc/slabinfo for every minute and in an hour
it increased by 15968128 kB or ~15+GB.. Approximately 256 MB / minute
leaking.

SUnreclaim: 22307264 kB
SUnreclaim: 22485888 kB
SUnreclaim: 22720256 kB
When testcases with T10 enabled call into __blkdev_direct_IO_simple,
code doesn't free memory allocated by bio_integrity_alloc. The patch
fixes the issue. HTX has been run with +60 hours without failure."
Since __blkdev_direct_IO_simple() allocates the bio on the stack, it
doesn't go through the regular bio free. This means that any ancillary
data allocated with the bio through the stack is not freed. Hence, we
can leak the integrity data associated with the bio, if the device is
using DIF/DIX.
Fix this by providing a bio_uninit() and export it, so that we can use
it to free this data. Note that this is a minimal fix for this issue.
Any current user of bio's that are allocated outside of
bio_alloc_bioset() suffers from this issue, most notably some drivers.
We will fix those in a more comprehensive patch for 4.13. This also
means that the commit marked as being fixed by this isn't the real
culprit, it's just the most obvious one out there.

No functional changes in this patch, we just use up some holes
in the bio and request structures to define a write hint that
we psas down the stack.
Ensure that we don't merge requests that have different life time
hints assigned to them, and that we inherit the write hint when
cloning a bio.

bio_clone() is no longer used.
Only bio_clone_bioset() or bio_clone_fast().
This is for the best, as bio_clone() used fs_bio_set,
and filesystems are unlikely to want to use bio_clone().
So remove bio_clone() and all references.
This includes a fix to some incorrect documentation.

This patch converts bioset_create() to not create a workqueue by
default, so alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer(). It
also introduces a new flag BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER which tells
bioset_create() to preserve the old behavior.
All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers,
are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag.
biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not
need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other
bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool,
btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by
target_core_iblock.c.
biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as
their usage was recently audited and revised to never
risk deadlock.
It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets
can end up being the non-rescued version.

"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow
easy extensibility.
bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in
flags passed to __bioset_create().
To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().
Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need
the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().
