delete_partition() clears the cached last_lookup partition. However the
.last_lookup cache may be overwritten by one IO path after it is cleared
from delete_partition(). Then another IO path may use the cached deleting
partition after hd_struct_free() is called, then use-after-free is triggered
on the cached partition.
Fixes the issue by the following approach:
1) always get the partition's refcount via hd_struct_try_get() before
setting .last_lookup
2) move clearing .last_lookup from delete_partition() to hd_struct_free()
which is the release handle of the partition's percpu-refcount, so that no
IO path can cache deleteing partition via .last_lookup.
It is one candidate approach of Yufen's patch[1] which adds overhead
in fast path by indirect lookup which may introduce one extra cacheline
in IO path. Also this patch relies on percpu-refcount's protection, and
it is easier to understand and verify.

When the controller is reconnecting, the host fails I/O and admin
commands as the host cannot reach the controller. ns scanning may
revalidate namespaces during that period and it is wrong to remove
namespaces due to these failures as we may hang (see 205da24343).
One command that may fail is nvme_identify_ns_descs. Since we return
success due to having ns identify descriptor list optional, we continue
to compare ns identifiers in nvme_revalidate_disk, obviously fail and
return -ENODEV to nvme_validate_ns, which will remove the namespace.
Exactly what we don't want to happen.

abs_vdebt is an atomic_64 which tracks how much over budget a given cgroup
is and controls the activation of use_delay mechanism. Once a cgroup goes
over budget from forced IOs, it has to pay it back with its future budget.
The progress guarantee on debt paying comes from the iocg being active -
active iocgs are processed by the periodic timer, which ensures that as time
passes the debts dissipate and the iocg returns to normal operation.
However, both iocg activation and vdebt handling are asynchronous and a
sequence like the following may happen.
1. The iocg is in the process of being deactivated by the periodic timer.
2. A bio enters ioc_rqos_throttle(), calls iocg_activate() which returns
without anything because it still sees that the iocg is already active.
3. The iocg is deactivated.
4. The bio from #2 is over budget but needs to be forced. It increases
abs_vdebt and goes over the threshold and enables use_delay.
5. IO control is enabled for the iocg's subtree and now IOs are attributed
to the descendant cgroups and the iocg itself no longer issues IOs.
This leaves the iocg with stuck abs_vdebt - it has debt but inactive and no
further IOs which can activate it. This can end up unduly punishing all the
descendants cgroups.
The usual throttling path has the same issue - the iocg must be active while
throttled to ensure that future event will wake it up - and solves the
problem by synchronizing the throttling path with a spinlock. abs_vdebt
handling is another form of overage handling and shares a lot of
characteristics including the fact that it isn't in the hottest path.
This patch fixes the above and other possible races by strictly
synchronizing abs_vdebt and use_delay handling with iocg->waitq.lock.

On each IO completion, iocost decides whether the IO met or missed its latency
target. Currently, the targets are fixed numbers per IO type. While this can be
good enough for loose latency targets way higher than typical completion
latencies, the effect of IO size makes it difficult to tighten the latency
target - a target adequate for 4k IOs might be too tight for 512k IOs and
vice-versa.
iocost already has all the necessary information to account for different IO
sizes when testing whether the latency target is met as iocost can calculate the
size vtime cost of a given IO. This patch updates the completion path to
calculate the size vtime cost of the IO, deduct the nsec equivalent from the
observed latency and use the adjusted value to decide whether the target is met.
This makes latency targets independent from IO size and enables determining
adequate latency targets with fixed size fio runs.

The use_delay mechanism was introduced by blk-iolatency to hold memory
allocators accountable for the reclaim and other shared IOs they cause. The
duration of the delay is dynamically balanced between iolatency increasing the
value on each target miss and it auto-decaying as time passes and threads get
delayed on it.
While this works well for iolatency, iocost's control model isn't compatible
with it. There is no repeated "violation" events which can be balanced against
auto-decaying. iocost instead knows how much a given cgroup is over budget and
wants to prevent that cgroup from issuing IOs while over budget. Until now,
iocost has been adding the cost of force-issued IOs. However, this doesn't
reflect the amount which is already over budget and is simply not enough to
counter the auto-decaying allowing anon-memory leaking low priority cgroup to
go over its alloted share of IOs.
As auto-decaying doesn't make much sense for iocost, this patch introduces a
different mode of operation for use_delay - when blkcg_set_delay() are used
insted of blkcg_add/use_delay(), the delay duration is not auto-decayed until it
is explicitly cleared with blkcg_clear_delay(). iocost is updated to keep the
delay duration synchronized to the budget overage amount.
With this change, iocost can effectively police cgroups which generate
significant amount of force-issued IOs.

When replacing the bd_super check with a bd_openers I followed a logical
conclusion, which turns out to be utterly wrong. When a block device has
bd_super sets it has a mount file system on it (although not every
mounted file system sets bd_super), but that also implies it doesn't even
have partitions to start with.
So instead of trying to come up with a logical check for all openers,
just remove the check entirely.

blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests where hctx->dispatch is checked.
The blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched call is not guaranteed to end in bounded time,
because the I/O scheduler can feed an arbitrary number of commands.
Since we have only one hctx->run_work, the commands waiting in
hctx->dispatch will wait an arbitrary length of time for run_work to be

A similar phenomenon exists with dispatches from the software queue.
The solution is to poll hctx->dispatch in blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched and
blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx and return from the run_work handler and let it
