85c0a037dc block: elevator.c: Remove now unused elevator= argument
Since the inclusion of blk-mq, elevator argument was not being
considered anymore, and it's utility died long with the legacy IO path,
now removed too.

cecf5d87ff block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks
The kernfs built-in lock of 'kn->count' is held in sysfs .show/.store
path. Meantime, inside block's .show/.store callback, q->sysfs_lock is
required.

However, when mq & iosched kobjects are removed via
blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue(), q->sysfs_lock is held
too. This way causes AB-BA lock because the kernfs built-in lock of
'kn-count' is required inside kobject_del() too, see the lockdep warning[1].

On the other hand, it isn't necessary to acquire q->sysfs_lock for
both blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue() because
clearing REGISTERED flag prevents storing to 'queue/scheduler'
from being happened. Also sysfs write(store) is exclusive, so no
necessary to hold the lock for elv_unregister_queue() when it is
called in switching elevator path.

So split .sysfs_lock into two: one is still named as .sysfs_lock for
covering sync .store, the other one is named as .sysfs_dir_lock
for covering kobjects and related status change.

sysfs itself can handle the race between add/remove kobjects and
showing/storing attributes under kobjects. For switching scheduler
via storing to 'queue/scheduler', we use the queue flag of
QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with .sysfs_lock for avoiding the race, then
we can avoid to hold .sysfs_lock during removing/adding kobjects.

c48dac137a block: don't hold q->sysfs_lock in elevator_init_mq
The original comment says:

	q->sysfs_lock must be held to provide mutual exclusion between
	elevator_switch() and here.

Which is simply wrong. elevator_init_mq() is only called from
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue, which is always called before the request
queue is registered via blk_register_queue(), for dm-rq or normal rq
based driver. However, queue's kobject is only exposed and added to sysfs
in blk_register_queue(). So there isn't such race between elevator_switch()
and elevator_init_mq().

So avoid to hold q->sysfs_lock in elevator_init_mq().

c3e2219216 block: free sched's request pool in blk_cleanup_queue
In theory, IO scheduler belongs to request queue, and the request pool
of sched tags belongs to the request queue too.

However, the current tags allocation interfaces are re-used for both
driver tags and sched tags, and driver tags is definitely host wide,
and doesn't belong to any request queue, same with its request pool.
So we need tagset instance for freeing request of sched tags.

Meantime, blk_mq_free_tag_set() often follows blk_cleanup_queue() in case
of non-BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED, this way requires that request pool of sched
tags to be freed before calling blk_mq_free_tag_set().

Commit 47cdee29ef ("block: move blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue")
moves blk_exit_queue into __blk_release_queue for simplying the fast
path in generic_make_request(), then causes oops during freeing requests
of sched tags in __blk_release_queue().

Fix the above issue by move freeing request pool of sched tags into
blk_cleanup_queue(), this way is safe becasue queue has been frozen and no any
in-queue requests at that time. Freeing sched tags has to be kept in queue's
release handler becasue there might be un-completed dispatch activity
which might refer to sched tags.

854f31ccdd block: fix deadline elevator drain for zoned block devices
When the deadline scheduler is used with a zoned block device, writes
to a zone will be dispatched one at a time. This causes the warning
message:

deadline: forced dispatching is broken (nr_sorted=X), please report this

to be displayed when switching to another elevator with the legacy I/O
path while write requests to a zone are being retained in the scheduler
queue.

Prevent this message from being displayed when executing
elv_drain_elevator() for a zoned block device. __blk_drain_queue() will
loop until all writes are dispatched and completed, resulting in the
desired elevator queue drain without extensive modifications to the
deadline code itself to handle forced-dispatch calls.

the declarations of the functions that are not used in that mode.
This patch not only reduces the number of #ifdefs in the block layer
core code but also reduces the size of header file <linux/blkdev.h>
and hence should help to reduce the build time of the Linux kernel
if CONFIG_PM is not defined.

d48ece209f blk-mq: init hctx sched after update ctx and hctx mapping
Currently, when update nr_hw_queues, IO scheduler's init_hctx will
be invoked before the mapping between ctx and hctx is adapted
correctly by blk_mq_map_swqueue. The IO scheduler init_hctx (kyber)
may depend on this mapping and get wrong result and panic finally.
A simply way to fix this is that switch the IO scheduler to 'none'
before update the nr_hw_queues, and then switch it back after
update nr_hw_queues. blk_mq_sched_init_/exit_hctx are removed due
to nobody use them any more.

24f5a90f0d blk-mq: quiesce queue during switching io sched and updating nr_requests
Dispatch may still be in-progress after queue is frozen, so we have to
quiesce queue before switching IO scheduler and updating nr_requests.

Also when switching io schedulers, blk_mq_run_hw_queue() may still be
called somewhere(such as from nvme_reset_work()), and io scheduler's
per-hctx data may not be setup yet, so cause oops even inside
blk_mq_hctx_has_pending(), such as it can be run just between:

        ret = e->ops.mq.init_sched(q, e);
AND
        ret = e->ops.mq.init_hctx(hctx, i)

inside blk_mq_init_sched().

This reverts commit 7a148c2fcff8330(block: don't call blk_mq_quiesce_queue()
after queue is frozen) basically, and makes sure blk_mq_hctx_has_pending
won't be called if queue is quiesced.

e9a823fb34 block: fix warning when I/O elevator is changed as request_queue is being removed
There is a race between changing I/O elevator and request_queue removal
which can trigger the warning in kobject_add_internal.  A program can
use sysfs to request a change of elevator at the same time another task
is unregistering the request_queue the elevator would be attached to.
The elevator's kobject will then attempt to be connected to the
request_queue in the object tree when the request_queue has just been
removed from sysfs.  This triggers the warning in kobject_add_internal
as the request_queue no longer has a sysfs directory:

kobject_add_internal failed for iosched (error: -2 parent: queue)
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 14075 at lib/kobject.c:244 kobject_add_internal+0x103/0x2d0

To fix this warning, we can check the QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED flag when
changing the elevator and use the request_queue's sysfs_lock to
serialize between clearing the flag and the elevator testing the flag.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
   was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
   fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
   to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
   From Paolo.

 - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
   using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
   live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.

 - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
   devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
   times, solving various problems with hot removal.

 - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
   'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
   device.

 - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.

 - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
   legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
   queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
   more than a decade.

 - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
   windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
   register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.

 - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
   framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
   blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
   marked experimental for now.

 - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
   efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
   IO.

 - A few fixes for opal, from Scott.

 - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
   From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.

 - A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from
   the blk-mq debugfs support.

 - A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES.

 - A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
   we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also
   shrinks the size of struct request a bit.

 - Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph. The former was
   never used by platforms, and the latter has outlived it's usefulness.

 - Various little bug fixes and cleanups from a wide variety of folks.

ef295ecf09 block: better op and flags encoding
Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields.  This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.

In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.

Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits.  Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

72ef799b3f block: do not merge requests without consulting with io scheduler
Before merging a bio into an existing request, io scheduler is called to
get its approval first. However, the requests that come from a plug
flush may get merged by block layer without consulting with io
scheduler.

In case of CFQ, this can cause fairness problems. For instance, if a
request gets merged into a low weight cgroup's request, high weight cgroup
now will depend on low weight cgroup to get scheduled. If high weigt cgroup
needs that io request to complete before submitting more requests, then it
will also lose its timeslice.

Following script demonstrates the problem. Group g1 has a low weight, g2
and g3 have equal high weights but g2's requests are adjacent to g1's
requests so they are subject to merging. Due to these merges, g2 gets
poor disk time allocation.

A previous commit wanted to make CFQ default to IOPS mode on
non-rotational storage, however it did so when the queue was
initialized and the non-rotational flag is only set later on
in the probe.

Add an elevator hook that gets called off the add_disk() path,
at that point we know that feature probing has finished, and
we can reliably check for the various flags that drivers can
set.

Martin bisected and found this to be the problem patch;

	commit 6d113398dc
	Author: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
	Date:   Mon Feb 24 16:39:54 2014 +0100

	    block: Stop abusing rq->csd.list in blk-softirq

and the problem was immediately apparent. The patch states that
it is safe to reuse queuelist at completion time, since it is
no longer used. However, that is not true if a device is using
block enabled tagging. If that is the case, then the queuelist
is reused to keep track of busy tags. If a device also ended
up using softirq completions, we'd reuse ->queuelist for the
IPI handling while block tagging was still using it. Boom.

Fix this by adding a new ipi_list list head, and share the
memory used with the request hash table. The hash table is
never used after the request is moved to the dispatch list,
which happens long before any potential completion of the
request. Add a new request bit for this, so we don't have
cases that check rq->hash while it could potentially have
been reused for the IPI completion.

eb1c160b22 elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching and md device initialization
The soft lockup below happens at the boot time of the system using dm
multipath and the udev rules to switch scheduler.

This is caused by a race between md device initialization by multipathd and
shell script to switch the scheduler using sysfs.

 - multipathd:
   SyS_ioctl -> do_vfs_ioctl -> dm_ctl_ioctl -> ctl_ioctl -> table_load
   -> dm_setup_md_queue -> blk_init_allocated_queue -> elevator_init
    q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, e); // not yet initialized

 - sh -c 'echo deadline > /sys/$DEVPATH/queue/scheduler':
   elevator_switch (in the call trace above)
    struct elevator_queue *old = q->elevator;
    q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, new_e);
    elevator_exit(old);                 // lockup! (*)

 - multipathd: (cont.)
    err = e->ops.elevator_init_fn(q);   // init fails; q->elevator is modified

(*) When del_timer_sync() is called, lock_timer_base() will loop infinitely
while timer->base == NULL. In this case, as timer will never initialized,
it results in lockup.

This patch introduces acquisition of q->sysfs_lock around elevator_init()
into blk_init_allocated_queue(), to provide mutual exclusion between
initialization of the q->scheduler and switching of the scheduler.

This should fix this bugzilla:

d50235b7bc elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching
There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation.
    Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data
    don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL
    ->elevator_data.
    For example:
        Thread A:                               Thread B
        blk_queu_bio                            elevator_switch
        spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block)           elevator_alloc
        elv_merge                               elevator_init_fn

    Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the
    ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and
    nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened.

    Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the
    operations in a atomic operation.

    Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug
    1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null
    2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done

    The test method also use this method.

b67bfe0d42 hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

21c3c5d280 block: don't request module during elevator init
Block layer allows selecting an elevator which is built as a module to
be selected as system default via kernel param "elevator=".  This is
achieved by automatically invoking request_module() whenever a new
block device is initialized and the elevator is not available.

This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module
init.  Block device probing running off an async job invokes
request_module().  While the module is being loaded, it performs
async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which
is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to
deadlock.

Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is
already nasty in itself.  It seems best to avoid these situations from
the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init
path.

The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is
loaded early during boot if available.  This patch removes on-demand
loading of the default elevator from elevator init path.  As the
module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior
difference should be minimal.

For more details, please refer to the following thread.

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1420814

v2: The bool parameter was named @request_module which conflicted with
    request_module().  This built okay w/ CONFIG_MODULES because
    request_module() was defined as a macro.  W/o CONFIG_MODULES, it
    causes build breakage.  Rename the parameter to @try_loading.

bb813f4c93 init, block: try to load default elevator module early during boot
This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default
block elevator.  During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland.  This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
default modules are loaded as soon as possible.

This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator
init path.

v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK.  Reported by kbuild test

a2b1693bac blkcg: implement per-queue policy activation
All blkcg policies were assumed to be enabled on all request_queues.
Due to various implementation obstacles, during the recent blkcg core
updates, this was temporarily implemented as shooting down all !root
blkgs on elevator switch and policy [de]registration combined with
half-broken in-place root blkg updates.  In addition to being buggy
and racy, this meant losing all blkcg configurations across those
events.

Now that blkcg is cleaned up enough, this patch replaces the temporary
implementation with proper per-queue policy activation.  Each blkcg
policy should call the new blkcg_[de]activate_policy() to enable and
disable the policy on a specific queue.  blkcg_activate_policy()
allocates and installs policy data for the policy for all existing
blkgs.  blkcg_deactivate_policy() does the reverse.  If a policy is
not enabled for a given queue, blkg printing / config functions skip
the respective blkg for the queue.

blkcg_activate_policy() also takes care of root blkg creation, and
cfq_init_queue() and blk_throtl_init() are updated accordingly.

This replaces blkcg_bypass_{start|end}() and update_root_blkg_pd()
unnecessary.  Dropped.

v2: cfq_init_queue() was returning uninitialized @ret on root_group
    alloc failure if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.  Fixed.

852c788f83 block: implement bio_associate_current()
IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context
and cgroup of %current.  Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need
to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup
limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly.

For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a
delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task
which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block
cgroup.  This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up
in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio
together impossible.

Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is
getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs).  As both io_context and
cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to
manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios.

This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the
specified bio with %current.  The bio will record the associated ioc
and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones
regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio.  bio
release puts the associated ioc and blkcg.

It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself
because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making
ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about.

elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being
allocated for is available to the elevator.

This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet.  Further patches will
implement the support.

e8989fae38 blkcg: unify blkg's for blkcg policies
Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination.  This is
unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used
duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management
of blkgs.

This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all
policies.  blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper.
This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into
blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering.

As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and
policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot
down during elvswitch and bypass.  This patch adds blkg_root_update()
to update root blkg in place on policy change.  This is hacky and racy
but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking
simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs.

-v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc()
     comment wasn't updated according to the function change.  Fixed.
     Both pointed out by Vivek.

-v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for
     all policies.  This freed root pd during elvswitch before the
     last queue finished exiting and led to oops.  Directly invoke
     update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from
     cfq_exit_queue().  This also is closer to what will be done with
     proper in-place blkg update.  Reported by Vivek.

03aa264ac1 blkcg: let blkcg core manage per-queue blkg list and counter
With the previous patch to move blkg list heads and counters to
request_queue and blkg, logic to manage them in both policies are
almost identical and can be moved to blkcg core.

This patch moves blkg link logic into blkg_lookup_create(), implements
common blkg unlink code in blkg_destroy(), and updates
blkg_destory_all() so that it's policy specific and can skip root
group.  The updated blkg_destroy_all() is now used to both clear queue
for bypassing and elv switching, and release all blkgs on q exit.

This patch introduces a race window where policy [de]registration may
race against queue blkg clearing.  This can only be a problem on cfq
unload and shouldn't be a real problem in practice (and we have many
other places where this race already exists).  Future patches will
remove these unlikely races.

72e06c2551 blkcg: shoot down blkio_groups on elevator switch
Elevator switch may involve changes to blkcg policies.  Implement
shoot down of blkio_groups.

Combined with the previous bypass updates, the end goal is updating
blkcg core such that it can ensure that blkcg's being affected become
quiescent and don't have any per-blkg data hanging around before
commencing any policy updates.  Until queues are made aware of the
policies that applies to them, as an interim step, all per-policy blkg
data will be shot down.

* blk-throtl doesn't need this change as it can't be disabled for a
  live queue; however, update it anyway as the scheduled blkg
  unification requires this behavior change.  This means that
  blk-throtl configuration will be unnecessarily lost over elevator
  switch.  This oddity will be removed after blkcg learns to associate

* blk-throtl dosen't shoot down root_tg.  This is to ease transition.
  Unified blkg will always have persistent root group and not shooting
  down root_tg for now eases transition to that point by avoiding
  having to update td->root_tg and is safe as blk-throtl can never be
  disabled

-v2: Vivek pointed out that group list is not guaranteed to be empty
     on return from clear function if it raced cgroup removal and
     lost.  Fix it by waiting a bit and retrying.  This kludge will
     soon be removed once locking is updated such that blkg is never
     in limbo state between blkcg and request_queue locks.

     blk-throtl no longer shoots down root_tg to avoid breaking
     td->root_tg.

     Also, Nest queue_lock inside blkio_list_lock not the other way
     around to avoid introduce possible deadlock via blkcg lock.

-v3: blkcg_clear_queue() repositioned and renamed to
     blkg_destroy_all() to increase consistency with later changes.
     cfq_clear_queue() updated to check q->elevator before
     dereferencing it to avoid NULL dereference on not fully
     initialized queues (used by later change).

b2fab5acd2 elevator: make elevator_init_fn() return 0/-errno
elevator_ops->elevator_init_fn() has a weird return value.  It returns
a void * which the caller should assign to q->elevator->elevator_data
and %NULL return denotes init failure.

Update such that it returns integer 0/-errno and sets elevator_data
directly as necessary.

This makes the interface more conventional and eases further cleanup.

5a5bafdc39 elevator: clear auxiliary data earlier during elevator switch
Elevator switch tries hard to keep as much as context until new
elevator is ready so that it can revert to the original state if
initializing the new elevator fails for some reason.  Unfortunately,
with more auxiliary contexts to manage, this makes elevator init and
exit paths too complex and fragile.

This patch makes elevator_switch() unregister the current elevator and
flush icq's before start initializing the new one.  As we still keep
the old elevator itself, the only difference is that we lose icq's on
rare occassions of switching failure, which isn't critical at all.

Note that this makes explicit elevator parameter to
elevator_init_queue() and __elv_register_queue() unnecessary as they
always can use the current elevator.

This patch enables block cgroup cleanups.

-v2: blk_add_trace_msg() prints elevator name from @new_e instead of
     @e->type as the local variable no longer exists.  This caused
     build failure on CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE.

050c8ea80e block: separate out blk_rq_merge_ok() and blk_try_merge() from elevator functions
blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility
test.  blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the
caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously.

elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls
elv_iosched_allow_merge().  elv_try_merge() is removed and the two
callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by
blk_try_merge().  While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return
bool.

This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any
behavior change.

This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from
plug merge.

This reverts commit 274193224c.

We have some problems related to selection of empty queues
that need to be resolved, evidence so far points to the
recursive merge logic making either being the cause or at
least the accelerator for this. So revert it for now, until

7e5a879449 block, cfq: move io_cq exit/release to blk-ioc.c
With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to
blk-ioc too.  The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced
with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc
and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc.  The elevator
operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator
- in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's.

Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and
automatically performed on elevator switch and q release.

Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for
the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq
needs to be freed when the io_cq is released.  New field
io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose.  As both the new
field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the
q/ioc_node fields aren't, they are put into unions.

3d3c2379fe block, cfq: move icq cache management to block core
Let elevators set ->icq_size and ->icq_align in elevator_type and
elv_register() and elv_unregister() respectively create and destroy
kmem_cache for icq.

* elv_register() now can return failure.  All callers updated.

* icq caches are automatically named "ELVNAME_io_cq".

* cfq_slab_setup/kill() are collapsed into cfq_init/exit().

* While at it, minor indentation change for iosched_cfq.elevator_name
  for consistency.

This will help moving icq management to block core.  This doesn't
introduce any functional change.

Most of icq management is about to be moved out of cfq into blk-ioc.
This patch prepares for it.

* Move cfqd->icq_list to request_queue->icq_list

* Make request explicitly point to icq instead of through elevator
  private data.  ->elevator_private[3] is replaced with sub struct elv
  which contains icq pointer and priv[2].  cfq is updated accordingly.

* Meaningless clearing of ->elevator_private[0] removed from
  elv_set_request().  At that point in code, the field was guaranteed
  to be %NULL anyway.

shorter notation - it doesn't save any indirect derefence.

f8fc877d3c block: reorder elevator switch sequence
Elevator switch sequence first attached the new elevator, then tried
registering it (sysfs) and if that failed attached back the old
elevator.  However, sysfs registration doesn't require the elevator to
be attached, so there is no reason to do the "detach, attach new,
register, maybe re-attach old" sequence.  It can just do "register,
detach, attach".

* elevator_init_queue() is updated to set ->elevator_data directly and
  return 0 / -errno.  This allows elevator_exit() on an unattached
  elevator.

* __elv_unregister_queue() which was necessary to unregister
  unattached q is removed in favor of __elv_register_queue() which can
  register unattached q.

* elevator_attach() becomes a single assignment and obscures more then
  it helps.  Dropped.

This will help cleaning up io_context handling across elevator switch.

This patch doesn't introduce visible behavior change.
