To improve scalability, if hardware queues are shared, restart
a single hardware queue in round-robin fashion. Rename
blk_mq_sched_restart_queues() to reflect the new semantics.
Remove blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_queue() because this function
has no callers. Remove flag QUEUE_FLAG_RESTART because this

blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() used to remap hardware queues, which is the
behavior that drivers expect. However, commit 4e68a01142 changed
blk_mq_queue_reinit() to not remap queues for the case of CPU
hotplugging, inadvertently making blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() not remap
queues as well. This breaks, for example, NBD's multi-connection mode,
leaving the added hardware queues unused. Fix it by making
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() explicitly remap the queues.

In elevator_switch(), if blk_mq_init_sched() fails, we attempt to fall
back to the original scheduler. However, at this point, we've already

While dispatching requests, if we fail to get a driver tag, we mark the
hardware queue as waiting for a tag and put the requests on a
hctx->dispatch list to be run later when a driver tag is freed. However,
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() may dispatch requests from multiple hardware
queues if using a single-queue scheduler with a multiqueue device. If
blk_mq_get_driver_tag() fails, it doesn't update the hardware queue we
are processing. This means we end up using the hardware queue of the
previous request, which may or may not be the same as that of the
current request. If it isn't, the wrong hardware queue will end up
waiting for a tag, and the requests will be on the wrong dispatch list,
leading to a hang.
The fix is twofold:
1. Make sure we save which hardware queue we were trying to get a
request for in blk_mq_get_driver_tag() regardless of whether it
succeeds or not.
2. Make blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() take a request_queue instead of a
blk_mq_hw_queue to make it clear that it must handle multiple
hardware queues, since I've already messed this up on a couple of
occasions.
This didn't appear in testing with nvme and mq-deadline because nvme has
more driver tags than the default number of scheduler tags. However,
with the blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() fix, it showed up with nbd.

This was ready long before the merge window, but waiting on an ack

- Two fixes for a regression in this window from Jan, fixing a

life times.
- A fix for a regression with virtio-blk, causing an IO stall if
scheduling is used. From me.
- A fix for an io context lock ordering problem. From me"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()
blk-mq: ensure that bd->last is always set correctly
block: don't call ioc_exit_icq() with the queue lock held for blk-mq
block: Initialize bd_bdi on inode initialization

nvme: Complete all stuck requests
blk-mq: Provide freeze queue timeout

blk-mq-sched: Allocate sched reserved tags as specified in the original queue tagset
nvme: allocate nvme_queue in correct node
PCI: add an API to get node from vector
blk-mq: allocate blk_mq_tags and requests in correct node
When drivers are called with a request in blk-mq, blk-mq flags the
state such that the driver knows if this is the last request in
this call chain or not. The driver can then use that information
to defer kicking off IO until bd->last is true. However, with blk-mq
and scheduling, we need to allocate a driver tag for a request before
it can be issued. If we fail to allocate such a tag, we could end up
in the situation where the last request issued did not have
bd->last == true set. This can then cause a driver hang.
This fixes a hang with virtio-blk, which uses bd->last as a hint
on whether to kick the queue or not.

Commit 50e1dab86a ("blk-mq-sched: fix starvation for multiple hardware
queues and shared tags") fixed one starvation issue for shared tags.
However, we can still get into a situation where we fail to allocate a
tag because all tags are allocated but we don't have any pending
requests on any hardware queue.
One solution for this would be to restart all queues that share a tag
map, but that really sucks. Ideally, we could just block and wait for a
tag, but that isn't always possible from blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list().
However, we can still use the struct sbitmap_queue wait queues with a
custom callback instead of blocking. This has a few benefits:
1. It avoids iterating over all hardware queues when completing an I/O,
which the current restart code has to do.
2. It benefits from the existing rolling wakeup code.
3. It avoids punting to another thread just to have it block.
