5e57dc8110 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block IO fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Second round of updates and fixes for 3.14-rc2.  Most of this stuff
  has been queued up for a while.  The notable exception is the blk-mq
  changes, which are naturally a bit more in flux still.

  The pull request contains:

   - Two bug fixes for the new immutable vecs, causing crashes with raid
     or swap.  From Kent.

   - Various blk-mq tweaks and fixes from Christoph.  A fix for
     integrity bio's from Nic.

   - A few bcache fixes from Kent and Darrick Wong.

   - xen-blk{front,back} fixes from David Vrabel, Matt Rushton, Nicolas
     Swenson, and Roger Pau Monne.

   - Fix for a vec miscount with integrity vectors from Martin.

   - Minor annotations or fixes from Masanari Iida and Rashika Kheria.

   - Tweak to null_blk to do more normal FIFO processing of requests
     from Shlomo Pongratz.

   - Elevator switching bypass fix from Tejun.

   - Softlockup in blkdev_issue_discard() fix when !CONFIG_PREEMPT from
     me"

11c9444407 block: Fix type mismatch in ssize_t_blk_mq_tag_sysfs_show
cppcheck detected following format string mismatch.
[blk-mq-tag.c:201]: (warning) %u in format string (no. 1) requires
'unsigned int' but the argument type is 'int'.

Change "cpu" from int to unsigned int, because the cpu
never become minus value.

6f6b5d1ec5 percpu_ida: Make percpu_ida_alloc + callers accept task state bitmask
This patch changes percpu_ida_alloc() + callers to accept task state
bitmask for prepare_to_wait() for code like target/iscsi that needs
it for interruptible sleep, that is provided in a subsequent patch.

It now expects TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE when the caller is able to sleep
waiting for a new tag, or TASK_RUNNING when the caller cannot sleep,
and is forced to return a negative value when no tags are available.

v2 changes:
  - Include blk-mq + tcm_fc + vhost/scsi + target/iscsi changes
  - Drop signal_pending_state() call
v3 changes:
  - Only call prepare_to_wait() + finish_wait() when != TASK_RUNNING

320ae51fee blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism
Linux currently has two models for block devices:

- The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
  request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
  functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
  management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.

- The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
  block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
  driver generally have to manage everything themselves.

With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
per device.

The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
that the shared approach solved.

This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.

blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:

- Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
  be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
  to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
  tags, to enable cache hot reuse.

- Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
  basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
  if a request happens to fail.

- Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
  submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
  desired location.

- Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
  to associate a request structure with some driver private
  command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
  and then any request handed to the driver will have the
  required size of memory associated with it.

- Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
  gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
  sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
  increases bandwidth.

For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
devices (as it was originally intended).
