A queue must be frozen while the mapped state of a hardware queue
is changed. Additionally, any change of the mapped state is
followed by a call to blk_mq_map_swqueue() (see also
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() and blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues()).
Since blk_mq_map_swqueue() does not map any unmapped hardware
queue onto any software queue, no attempt will be made to run
an unmapped hardware queue. Hence issue a warning upon attempts
to run an unmapped hardware queue.

Initialization of blk-mq requests is a bit weird: blk_mq_rq_ctx_init()
is called after a value has been assigned to .rq_flags and .rq_flags
is initialized in __blk_mq_finish_request(). Initialize .rq_flags in
blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() instead of relying on __blk_mq_finish_request().
Moving the initialization of .rq_flags is fine because all changes

use fs_bio_set, block devices shouldn't.
As rbd never stacks, it is safe to have a single global bio_set for

Since commit 23688bf4f8 ("block: ensure to split after potentially
bouncing a bio") blk_queue_bounce() is called *before*
blk_queue_split().
This means that:
1/ the comments blk_queue_split() about bounce buffers are
irrelevant, and
2/ a very large bio (more than BIO_MAX_PAGES) will no longer be
split before it arrives at blk_queue_bounce(), leading to the
possibility that bio_clone_bioset() will fail and a NULL
will be dereferenced.
Separately, blk_queue_bounce() shouldn't use fs_bio_set as the bio
being copied could be from the same set, and this could lead to a
deadlock.
So:
- allocate 2 private biosets for blk_queue_bounce, one for
splitting enormous bios and one for cloning bios.
- add code to split a bio that exceeds BIO_MAX_PAGES.
- Fix up the comments in blk_queue_split()

A rescuing bioset is only useful if there might be bios from
that same bioset on the bio_list_on_stack queue at a time
when bio_alloc_bioset() is called. This never applies to
q->bio_split.
Allocations from q->bio_split are only ever made from
blk_queue_split() which is only ever called early in each of
various make_request_fn()s. The original bio (call this A)
is then passed to generic_make_request() and is placed on
the bio_list_on_stack queue, and the bio that was allocated
from q->bio_split (B) is processed.
The processing of this may cause other bios to be passed to
generic_make_request() or may even cause the bio B itself to
be passed, possible after some prefix has been split off
(using some other bioset).
generic_make_request() now guarantees that all of these bios
(B and dependants) will be fully processed before the tail
of the original bio A gets handled. None of these early bios
can possible trigger an allocation from the original
q->bio_split as they are either too small to require
splitting or (more likely) are destined for a different queue.
The next time that the original q->bio_split might be used
by this thread is when A is processed again, as it might
still be too big to handle directly. By this time there
cannot be any other bios allocated from q->bio_split in the
generic_make_request() queue. So no rescuing will ever be
needed.

btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by
target_core_iblock.c.
biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as
their usage was recently audited and revised to never
risk deadlock.
It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets
can end up being the non-rescued version.

"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow
easy extensibility.
bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in
flags passed to __bioset_create().
To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().
Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need
the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().

blk_queue_split() is always called with the last arg being q->bio_split,
where 'q' is the first arg.
Also blk_queue_split() sometimes uses the passed-in 'bs' and sometimes uses
q->bio_split.
This is inconsistent and unnecessary. Remove the last arg and always use
q->bio_split inside blk_queue_split()
