"I ended up splitting the main pull request for this series into two,
mainly because of clashes between NVMe fixes that went into 4.13 after
the for-4.14 branches were split off. This pull request is mostly
NVMe, but not exclusively. In detail, it contains:
- Two pull request for NVMe changes from Christoph. Nothing new on
the feature front, basically just fixes all over the map for the
core bits, transport, rdma, etc.
- Series from Bart, cleaning up various bits in the BFQ scheduler.
- Series of bcache fixes, which has been lingering for a release or
two. Coly sent this in, but patches from various people in this
area.
- Set of patches for BFQ from Paolo himself, updating both
documentation and fixing some corner cases in performance.
- Series from Omar, attempting to now get the 4k loop support
correct. Our confidence level is higher this time.

This is mostly updates of the usual suspects: lpfc, qla2xxx, hisi_sas, megaraid_sas, zfcp and a host of minor updates.
The major driver change here is the elimination of the block based
cciss driver in favour of the SCSI based hpsa driver (which now drives
all the legacy cases cciss used to be required for). Plus a reset
handler clean up and the redo of the SAS SMP handler to use bsg lib.

Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity. Just lots of
things all over the place.
Some things of note include:
- Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can count both
core events as well as nest unit events (Memory controller etc).
- Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid unnecessary Page
Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the tree is not changing.
- Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it closer to
other architectures where possible.
- Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to send IPIs
to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all CPUs.
- The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU systems.
This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems with very sparse
NUMA layouts.
- STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.
- A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that pairs of
cores may share an L2 cache.
- Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing coprocessors,
and initial support for using it with the NX compression accelerator.
- Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for many new
instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to implement the emulation
needed to fixup alignment faults.
- Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt controller.
And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting, but I had to
keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as always.

This patch enables read IO from backing device. For the feature, it
implements two IO read functions to transfer data from backing storage.
One is asynchronous IO function and other is synchronous one.
A reason I need synchrnous IO is due to partial write which need to
complete read IO before the overwriting partial data.
We can make the partial IO's case asynchronous, too but at the moment, I
don't feel adding more complexity to support such rare use cases so want
to go with simple.

This patch enables write IO to transfer data to backing device. For
that, it implements write_to_bdev function which creates new bio and
chaining with parent bio to make the parent bio asynchrnous.
For rw_page which don't have parent bio, it submit owned bio and handle
IO completion by zram_page_end_io.
Also, this patch defines new flag ZRAM_WB to mark written page for later
read IO.

For upcoming asynchronous IO like writeback, zram_rw_page should be
aware of that whether requested IO was completed or submitted
successfully, otherwise error.
For the goal, zram_bvec_rw has three return values.
-errno: returns error number
0: IO request is done synchronously
1: IO request is issued successfully.

With backing device, zram needs management of free space of backing

This patch adds bitmap logic to manage free space which is very naive.
However, it would be simple enough as considering uncompressible pages's
frequenty in zram.

zram_decompress_page naming is not proper because it doesn't decompress
if page was dedup hit or stored with compression.
Use more abstract term and consistent with write path function

Patch series "writeback incompressible pages to storage", v1.
zRam is useful for memory saving with compressible pages but sometime,
workload can be changed and system has lots of incompressible pages
which is very harmful for zram.
This patch supports writeback feature of zram so admin can set up a
block device and with it, zram can save the memory via writing out the
incompressile pages once it found it's incompressible pages (1/4 comp
ratio) instead of keeping the page in memory.
[1-3] is just clean up and [4-8] is step by step feature enablement.
[4-8] is logically not bisectable(ie, logical unit separation)
although I tried to compiled out without breaking but I think it would
be better to review.
This patch (of 9):
__zram_bvec_write has some of duplicated logic for zram meta data
handling of same_page|compressed_page. This patch aims to clean it up
without behavior change.

Commit 6c6b6f28b3 ("loop: set physical block size to PAGE_SIZE")
caused mkfs.xfs to barf on ppc64 [1]. Always using PAGE_SIZE as the
physical block size still makes the most sense semantically, but let's
just lie and always set it to the same value as the logical block size
(same goes for io_min). In the future we might want to at least bump up
io_min to PAGE_SIZE but I'm sick of these stupid changes so let's play
it safe.

- Introduce the ORC unwinder, which can be enabled via
CONFIG_ORC_UNWINDER=y.
The ORC unwinder is a lightweight, Linux kernel specific debuginfo
implementation, which aims to be DWARF done right for unwinding.
Objtool is used to generate the ORC unwinder tables during build, so
the data format is flexible and kernel internal: there's no
dependency on debuginfo created by an external toolchain.
The ORC unwinder is almost two orders of magnitude faster than the
(out of tree) DWARF unwinder - which is important for perf call graph
profiling. It is also significantly simpler and is coded defensively:
there has not been a single ORC related kernel crash so far, even
with early versions. (knock on wood!)
But the main advantage is that enabling the ORC unwinder allows
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS to be turned off - which speeds up the kernel
measurably:
With frame pointers disabled, GCC does not have to add frame pointer
instrumentation code to every function in the kernel. The kernel's
.text size decreases by about 3.2%, resulting in better cache
utilization and fewer instructions executed, resulting in a broad
kernel-wide speedup. Average speedup of system calls should be
roughly in the 1-3% range - measurements by Mel Gorman [1] have shown
a speedup of 5-10% for some function execution intense workloads.
The main cost of the unwinder is that the unwinder data has to be
stored in RAM: the memory cost is 2-4MB of RAM, depending on kernel
config - which is a modest cost on modern x86 systems.
Given how young the ORC unwinder code is it's not enabled by default
- but given the performance advantages the plan is to eventually make
it the default unwinder on x86.
See Documentation/x86/orc-unwinder.txt for more details.

Careful analysis shows that this flag is not needed.
The RESCUER flag is only needed when a make_request_fn might:
- allocate a bio from the bioset
- submit it with generic_make_request() or similar
- allocate another bio from the bioset
The second allocation can block until the first bio is processed, so
a rescuer is needed to ensure the first bio does get processed. With
a rescuer it will only get processed when the make_request_fn completes.
In drbd, allocations from drbd_io_bio_set happen from drbd_new_req()
or w_restart_disk_io() which is only called to handle
RESTART_FROZEN_DISK_IO.
In former is called precisely once from the make_request_fn.
The later is never called by within the make_request_fn.
So there cannot be two allocations in the same call to the
make_request_fn, so a rescuer is not needed.
Allocations from drbd_md_io_bio_set are used for IO to the bitmap and
the activity log. There are only accessed from worker threads and
workqueues, never directly from make_request_fn.
Again, the rescuer isn't needed.

conn_try_disconnect() could potentialy hit the BUG_ON()

If the STATE_SENT bit was not yet visible to conn_is_valid_transition()

later in that call path, we could hit the BUG_ON() after _drbd_set_state(),

When requesting a detach, we first suspend IO, and also inhibit meta-data IO
by means of drbd_md_get_buffer(), because we don't want to "fail" the disk
while there is IO in-flight: the transition into D_FAILED for detach purposes
may get misinterpreted as actual IO error in a confused endio function.
We wrap it all into wait_event(), to retry in case the drbd_req_state()
returns SS_IN_TRANSIENT_STATE, as it does for example during an ongoing
connection handshake.
In that example, the receiver thread may need to grab drbd_md_get_buffer()
during the handshake to make progress. To avoid potential deadlock with
detach, detach needs to grab and release the meta data buffer inside of
that wait_event retry loop. To avoid lock inversion between
mutex_lock(&device->state_mutex) and drbd_md_get_buffer(device),
introduce a new enum chg_state_flag CS_INHIBIT_MD_IO, and move the
call to drbd_md_get_buffer() inside the state_mutex grabbed in
drbd_req_state().

In protocol != C, we forgot to send the P_NEG_ACK for failing writes.
Once we no longer submit to local disk, because we already "detached",
due to the typical "on-io-error detach;" config setting,
we already send the neg acks right away.
Only those requests that have been submitted,
and have been error-completed by the local disk,
would forget to send the neg-ack,
and only in asynchronous replication (protocol != C).
Unless this happened during resync,
where we already always send acks, regardless of protocol.
The primary side needs the P_NEG_ACK in order to mark
the affected block(s) for resync in its out-of-sync bitmap.
If the blocks in question are not re-written again,
we may miss to resync them later, causing data inconsistencies.
This patch will always send the neg-acks, and also at least try to
persist the out-of-sync status on the local node already.

Recently, drbd_recv_header() was changed to potentially
implicitly "unplug" the backend device(s), in case there
is currently nothing to receive.
Be more explicit about it: re-introduce the original drbd_recv_header(),
and introduce a new drbd_recv_header_maybe_unplug() for use by the
receiver "main loop".
Using explicit plugging via blk_start_plug(); blk_finish_plug();
really helps the io-scheduler of the backend with merging requests.
Wrap the receiver "main loop" with such a plug.
Also catch unplug events on the Primary,
and try to propagate.
This is performance relevant. Without this, if the receiving side does
not merge requests, number of IOPS on the peer can me significantly
higher than IOPS on the Primary, and can easily become the bottleneck.
Together, both changes should help to reduce the number of IOPS
as seen on the backend of the receiving side, by increasing
the chance of merging mergable requests, without trading latency
for more throughput.
