Now that we disable wbt by simply zero out rwb->wb_normal in
wbt_disable_default() when switch elevator to bfq, but it's not safe
because it will become false positive if we change queue depth. If it
become false positive between wbt_wait() and wbt_track() when submit
write request, it will lead to drop rqw->inflight to -1 in wbt_done(),
which will end up trigger IO hung. Fix this issue by introduce a new
state which mean the wbt was disabled.

scale_up wakes up waiters after scaling up. But after scaling max, it
should not wake up more waiters as waiters will not have anything to
do. This patch fixes this by making scale_up (and also scale_down)
return when threshold is reached.
This bug causes increased fdatasync latency when fdatasync and dd
conv=sync are performed in parallel on 4.19 compared to 4.14. This

We have two potential issues:
1) After commit 2887e41b91, we only wake one process at the time when
we finish an IO. We really want to wake up as many tasks as can
queue IO. Before this commit, we woke up everyone, which could cause
a thundering herd issue.
2) A task can potentially consume two wakeups, causing us to (in
practice) miss a wakeup.
Fix both by providing our own wakeup function, which stops
__wake_up_common() from waking up more tasks if we fail to get a
queueing token. With the strict ordering we have on the wait list, this
wakes the right tasks and the right amount of tasks.

A previous commit removed the ability to have per-rq flags. We used
those flags to maintain inflight counts. Since we don't have those
anymore, we have to always maintain inflight counts, even if wbt is
disabled. This is clearly suboptimal.
Add a queue quiesce around changing the wbt latency settings from sysfs
to work around this. With that, we can reliably put the enabled check in
our bio_to_wbt_flags(), since we know the WBT_TRACKED flag will be
consistent for the lifetime of the request.

forgets to remove the early handling of !rwb_enabled(rwb) inside wbt_wait(),
then the inflight counter may not be increased in wbt_wait(), but decreased
in wbt_done() for this kind of IO, so this counter may become negative, then
wbt_wait() may wait forever.

In the original patch, wbt_done is waking up all the exclusive
processes in the wait queue, which can cause a thundering herd
if there is a large number of writer threads in the queue. The
original intention of the code seems to be to wake up one thread
only however, it uses wake_up_all() in __wbt_done(), and then
uses the following check in __wbt_wait to have only one thread
actually get out of the wait loop:
if (waitqueue_active(&rqw->wait) &&
rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry)
return false;
The problem with this is that the wait entry in wbt_wait is
define with DEFINE_WAIT, which uses the autoremove wakeup function.
That means that the above check is invalid - the wait entry will
have been removed from the queue already by the time we hit the
check in the loop.
Secondly, auto-removing the wait entries also means that the wait
queue essentially gets reordered "randomly" (e.g. threads re-add
themselves in the order they got to run after being woken up).
Additionally, new requests entering wbt_wait might overtake requests
that were queued earlier, because the wait queue will be
(temporarily) empty after the wake_up_all, so the waitqueue_active
check will not stop them. This can cause certain threads to starve
under high load.
The fix is to leave the woken up requests in the queue and remove
them in finish_wait() once the current thread breaks out of the
wait loop in __wbt_wait. This will ensure new requests always
end up at the back of the queue, and they won't overtake requests
that are already in the wait queue. With that change, the loop
in wbt_wait is also in line with many other wait loops in the kernel.
Waking up just one thread drastically reduces lock contention, as
does moving the wait queue add/remove out of the loop.
A significant drop in lockdep's lock contention numbers is seen when
running the test application on the patched kernel.

Throttle discards like we would any background write. Discards should
be background activity, so if they are impacting foreground IO, then
we will throttle them down.

This is in preparation for having more write queues, in which
case we would have needed to pass in more information than just
a simple 'is_kswapd' boolean.

We currently special case WRITE and FLUSH, but we should really
just include any command with the write bit set. This ensures
that we account DISCARD.

Mikulas reported a workload that saw bad performance, and figured
out what it was due to various other types of requests being
accounted as reads. Flush requests, for instance. Due to the
high latency of those, we heavily throttle the writes to keep
the latencies in balance. But they really should be accounted
as writes.
Fix this by checking the exact type of the request. If it's a
read, account as a read, if it's a write or a flush, account
as a write. Any other request we disregard. Previously everything
would have been mistakenly accounted as reads.

Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.
Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
In particular, this pull request contains:
- A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
quescing.
- A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.
- NVMe
- Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph).
- Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith).
- Command side-effects support (Keith).
- SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
- FC fixes and improvements (James Smart)
- Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various)
- bcache
- New maintainer (Michael Lyle)
- Writeback control improvements (Michael)
- Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al)
- lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface
(Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).
- Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)
- Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
(me).
- Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
Shao).
- Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).
- {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).
- blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).
- blk-mq optimizations (me).
- Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).
- NBD fixes (Josef).
- Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
(Luca Miccio).
- Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.
- Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.
- BFQ updates (Paolo).
- blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).
- Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).
- Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and
driver code"

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.
However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:
----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()
// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

Similarly to CFQ, BFQ has its write-throttling heuristics, and it
is better not to combine them with further write-throttling
heuristics of a different nature.
So this commit disables write-back throttling for a device if BFQ
is used as I/O scheduler for that device.
