iopoll is initially for small size, latency sensitive IO. It doesn't
work well for big IO, especially when it needs to be split to multiple
bios. In this case, the returned cookie of __submit_bio_noacct_mq() is
indeed the cookie of the last split bio. The completion of *this* last
split bio done by iopoll doesn't mean the whole original bio has
completed. Callers of iopoll still need to wait for completion of other
split bios.
Besides bio splitting may cause more trouble for iopoll which isn't
supposed to be used in case of big IO.
iopoll for split bio may cause potential race if CPU migration happens
during bio submission. Since the returned cookie is that of the last
split bio, polling on the corresponding hardware queue doesn't help
complete other split bios, if these split bios are enqueued into
different hardware queues. Since interrupts are disabled for polling
queues, the completion of these other split bios depends on timeout
mechanism, thus causing a potential hang.
iopoll for split bio may also cause hang for sync polling. Currently
both the blkdev and iomap-based fs (ext4/xfs, etc) support sync polling
in direct IO routine. These routines will submit bio without REQ_NOWAIT
flag set, and then start sync polling in current process context. The
process may hang in blk_mq_get_tag() if the submitted bio has to be
split into multiple bios and can rapidly exhaust the queue depth. The
process are waiting for the completion of the previously allocated
requests, which should be reaped by the following polling, and thus
causing a deadlock.
To avoid these subtle trouble described above, just disable iopoll for
split bio and return BLK_QC_T_NONE in this case. The side effect is that
non-HIPRI IO also returns BLK_QC_T_NONE now. It should be acceptable
since the returned cookie is never used for non-HIPRI IO.

Commit 882ec4e609 ("dm table: stack 'chunk_sectors' limit to account
for target-specific splitting") caused a couple regressions:
1) Using lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors was a bug because
chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the
IO stack.
2) DM targets that set max_io_len but that do _not_ provide an
.iterate_devices method no longer had there IO split properly.
And commit 5091cdec56 ("dm: change max_io_len() to use
blk_max_size_offset()") also caused a regression where DM no longer
supported varied (per target) IO splitting. The implication being the
potential for severely reduced performance for IO stacks that use a DM
target like dm-cache to hide performance limitations of a slower
device (e.g. one that requires 4K IO splitting).
Coming full circle: Fix all these issues by discontinuing stacking
chunk_sectors up using ti->max_io_len in dm_calculate_queue_limits(),
add optional chunk_sectors override argument to blk_max_size_offset()
and update DM's max_io_len() to pass ti->max_io_len to its
blk_max_size_offset() call.
Passing in an optional chunk_sectors override to blk_max_size_offset()
allows for code reuse of block's centralized calculation for max IO
size based on provided offset and split boundary.

We must have some way of letting a storage device driver know what
encryption context it should use for en/decrypting a request. However,
it's the upper layers (like the filesystem/fscrypt) that know about and
manages encryption contexts. As such, when the upper layer submits a bio
to the block layer, and this bio eventually reaches a device driver with
support for inline encryption, the device driver will need to have been
told the encryption context for that bio.
We want to communicate the encryption context from the upper layer to the
storage device along with the bio, when the bio is submitted to the block
layer. To do this, we add a struct bio_crypt_ctx to struct bio, which can
represent an encryption context (note that we can't use the bi_private
field in struct bio to do this because that field does not function to pass
information across layers in the storage stack). We also introduce various
functions to manipulate the bio_crypt_ctx and make the bio/request merging
logic aware of the bio_crypt_ctx.
We also make changes to blk-mq to make it handle bios with encryption
contexts. blk-mq can merge many bios into the same request. These bios need
to have contiguous data unit numbers (the necessary changes to blk-merge
are also made to ensure this) - as such, it suffices to keep the data unit
number of just the first bio, since that's all a storage driver needs to
infer the data unit number to use for each data block in each bio in a
request. blk-mq keeps track of the encryption context to be used for all
the bios in a request with the request's rq_crypt_ctx. When the first bio
is added to an empty request, blk-mq will program the encryption context
of that bio into the request_queue's keyslot manager, and store the
returned keyslot in the request's rq_crypt_ctx. All the functions to
operate on encryption contexts are in blk-crypto.c.
Upper layers only need to call bio_crypt_set_ctx with the encryption key,
algorithm and data_unit_num; they don't have to worry about getting a
keyslot for each encryption context, as blk-mq/blk-crypto handles that.
Blk-crypto also makes it possible for request-based layered devices like
dm-rq to make use of inline encryption hardware by cloning the
rq_crypt_ctx and programming a keyslot in the new request_queue when
necessary.
Note that any user of the block layer can submit bios with an
encryption context, such as filesystems, device-mapper targets, etc.

We ran into a problem with a mpt3sas based controller, where we would

specific to this controller, but wasn't specific to the file system.
After a lot of debugging, we find out that it's caused by segments
spanning a 4G memory boundary. This shouldn't happen, as the default
setting for segment boundary masks is 4G.
Turns out there are two issues in get_max_segment_size():
1) The default segment boundary mask is bypassed
2) The segment start address isn't taken into account when checking
segment boundary limit
Fix these two issues by removing the bypass of the segment boundary
check even if the mask is set to the default value, and taking into
account the actual start address of the request when checking if a
segment needs splitting.

Consider the following example:
* The logical block size is 4 KB.
* The physical block size is 8 KB.
* max_sectors equals (16 KB >> 9) sectors.
* A non-aligned 4 KB and an aligned 64 KB bio are merged into a single
non-aligned 68 KB bio.
The current behavior is to split such a bio into (16 KB + 16 KB + 16 KB
+ 16 KB + 4 KB). The start of none of these five bio's is aligned to a
physical block boundary.
This patch ensures that such a bio is split into four aligned and
one non-aligned bio instead of being split into five non-aligned bios.
This improves performance because most block devices can handle aligned
requests faster than non-aligned requests.
Since the physical block size is larger than or equal to the logical
block size, this patch preserves the guarantee that the returned
value is a multiple of the logical block size.

Fix a regression introduced when removing bi_phys_segments for Write Zeroes
requests, which need to have a segment count of zero, as they don't have a
payload.

Now that we don't need to assign the front/back segment sizes, we can
duplicating the segs assignment for the split vs no-split case and
remove a whole chunk of boilerplate code.

Return the segement and let the callers assign them, which makes the code
a littler more obvious. Also pass the request instead of q plus bio
chain, allowing for the use of rq_for_each_bvec.

We only need the number of segments in the blk-mq submission path.
Remove the field from struct bio, and return it from a variant of
blk_queue_split instead of that it can passed as an argument to
those functions that need the value.
This also means we stop recounting segments except for cloning
and partial segments.
To keep the number of arguments in this how path down remove
pointless struct request_queue arguments from any of the functions
that had it and grew a nr_segs argument.

We fundamentally do not have a maximum segement size for devices with a
virt boundary. So don't bother checking it, especially given that the
existing checks didn't properly work to start with as we never fully
update the front/back segment size and miss the bi_seg_front_size that
wuld have been required for some cases.

Currently ll_merge_requests_fn, unlike all other merge functions,
reduces nr_phys_segments by one if the last segment of the previous,
and the first segment of the next segement are contigous. While this
seems like a nice solution to avoid building smaller than possible
requests it causes a mismatch between the segments actually present
in the request and those iterated over by the bvec iterators, including
__rq_for_each_bio. This can for example mistrigger the single segment
optimization in the nvme-pci driver, and might lead to mismatching
nr_phys_segments number when recalculating the number of request
when inserting a cloned request.
We could possibly work around this by making the bvec iterators take
the front and back segment size into account, but that would require
moving them from the bio to the bio_iter and spreading this mess
over all users of bvecs. Or we could simply remove this optimization
under the assumption that most users already build good enough bvecs,
and that the bio merge patch never cared about this optimization
either. The latter is what this patch does.

While we generally allow scatterlists to have offsets larger than page
size for an entry, and other subsystems like the crypto code make use of
that, the block layer isn't quite ready for that. Flip the switch back
to avoid them for now, and revisit that decision early in a merge window
once the known offenders are fixed.

Commit f6970f83ef ("block: don't check if adjacent bvecs in one bio can
be mergeable") changes bvec merge by only considering two bvecs from
different bios. However, if the former bio doesn't inlcude any io bvec,
then the following warning may be triggered:
warning: ‘bvec.bv_offset’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
In practice, it shouldn't be triggered.
Fixes it by adding check on former bio, the check shouldn't add any cost
given 'bio->bi_iter' can be hit in cache.

Now both passthrough and FS IO have supported multi-page bvec, and
bvec merging has been handled actually when adding page to bio, then
adjacent bvecs won't be mergeable any more if they belong to same bio.
So only try to merge bvecs if they are from different bios.
