This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

This patch converts bioset_create() to not create a workqueue by
default, so alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer(). It
also introduces a new flag BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER which tells
bioset_create() to preserve the old behavior.
All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers,
are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag.
biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not
need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other
bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool,
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.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

I created a dm-raid1 device backed by a device that supports DISCARD
and another device that does NOT support DISCARD with the following
dm configuration:
# echo '0 2048 mirror core 1 512 2 /dev/sda 0 /dev/sdb 0' | dmsetup create moo
# lsblk -D
NAME DISC-ALN DISC-GRAN DISC-MAX DISC-ZERO
sda 0 4K 1G 0
`-moo (dm-0) 0 4K 1G 0
sdb 0 0B 0B 0
`-moo (dm-0) 0 4K 1G 0
Notice that the mirror device /dev/mapper/moo advertises DISCARD
support even though one of the mirror halves doesn't.
If I issue a DISCARD request (via fstrim, mount -o discard, or ioctl
BLKDISCARD) through the mirror, kmirrord gets stuck in an infinite
loop in do_region() when it tries to issue a DISCARD request to sdb.
The problem is that when we call do_region() against sdb, num_sectors
is set to zero because q->limits.max_discard_sectors is zero.
Therefore, "remaining" never decreases and the loop never terminates.
To fix this: before entering the loop, check for the combination of
REQ_DISCARD and no discard and return -EOPNOTSUPP to avoid hanging up
the mirror device.
This bug was found by the unfortunate coincidence of pvmove and a
discard operation in the RHEL 6.5 kernel; upstream is also affected.

Commit 003b5c5719 ("block: Convert drivers
to immutable biovecs") broke dm-mirror due to dm-io breakage.
dm-io had three possible iterators (DM_IO_PAGE_LIST, DM_IO_BVEC,
DM_IO_VMA) that iterate over pages where the I/O should be performed.
The switch to immutable biovecs changed the DM_IO_BVEC iterator to
DM_IO_BIO. Before this change the iterator stored the pointer to a bio
vector in the dpages structure. The iterator incremented the pointer in
the dpages structure as it advanced over the pages. After the immutable
biovecs change, the DM_IO_BIO iterator stores a pointer to the bio in
the dpages structure and uses bio_advance to change the bio as it
advances.
The problem is that the function dispatch_io stores the content of the
dpages structure into the variable old_pages and restores it before
issuing I/O to each of the devices. Before the change, the statement
"*dp = old_pages;" restored the iterator to its starting position.
After the change, struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio, thus the
statement "*dp = old_pages;" doesn't restore the iterator.
Consequently, in the context of dm-mirror: only the first mirror leg is
written correctly, the kernel locks up when trying to write the other
mirror legs because the number of sectors to write in the where->count
variable doesn't match the number of sectors returned by the iterator.
This patch fixes the bug by partially reverting the original patch - it
changes the code so that struct dpages holds a pointer to the bio vector,
so that the statement "*dp = old_pages;" restores the iterator correctly.
The field "context_u" holds the offset from the beginning of the current
bio vector entry, just like the "bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done" field.

For normal kernel pages, CPU cache is synchronized by the dma layer.
However, this is not done for pages allocated with vmalloc. If we do I/O
to/from vmallocated pages, we must synchronize CPU cache explicitly.
Prior to doing I/O on vmallocated page we must call
flush_kernel_vmap_range to flush dirty cache on the virtual address.
After finished read we must call invalidate_kernel_vmap_range to
invalidate cache on the virtual address, so that accesses to the virtual
address return newly read data and not stale data from CPU cache.
This patch fixes metadata corruption on dm-snapshots on PA-RISC and

enough to be marked with unlikely().
* Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue

* Request based dm isn't converted yet. dm_init_request_based_queue()

Accept empty barriers in dm-io.
dm-io will process empty write barrier requests just like the other
read/write requests.

Remove the hack where we allocate an extra bi_io_vec to store additional
private data. This hack prevents us from supporting barriers in
dm-raid1 without first making another little block layer change.
Instead of doing that, this patch eliminates the bi_io_vec abuse by
storing the region number directly in the low bits of bi_private.
We need to store two things for each bio, the pointer to the main io
structure and, if parallel writes were requested, an index indicating
which of these writes this bio belongs to. There can be at most
BITS_PER_LONG regions - 32 or 64.
The index (region number) was stored in the last (hidden) bio vector and
the pointer to struct io was stored in bi_private.
This patch now aligns "struct io" on BITS_PER_LONG bytes and stores the
region number in the low BITS_PER_LONG bits of bi_private.

Allocate "struct io" from a slab.
This patch changes dm-io, so that "struct io" is allocated from a slab cache.
It used to be allocated with kmalloc. Allocating from a slab will be needed
for the next patch, because it requires a special alignment of "struct io"
and kmalloc cannot meet this alignment.

If -EOPNOTSUPP was returned and the request was a barrier request, retry it
without barrier.
Retry all regions for now. Barriers are submitted only for one-region requests,
so it doesn't matter. (In the future, retries can be limited to the actual
regions that failed.)

Add another field, eopnotsupp_bits. It is subset of error_bits, representing
regions that returned -EOPNOTSUPP. (The bit is set in both error_bits and
eopnotsupp_bits).
This value will be used in further patches.

If someone sends signal to a process performing synchronous dm-io call,
the kernel may crash.
The function sync_io attempts to exit with -EINTR if it has pending signal,
however the structure "io" is allocated on stack, so already submitted io
requests end up touching unallocated stack space and corrupting kernel memory.
sync_io sets its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, so the signal can't break out
of io_schedule() --- however, if the signal was pending before sync_io entered
while (1) loop, the corruption of kernel memory will happen.
There is no way to cancel in-progress IOs, so the best solution is to ignore
signals at this point.

dm-io calls bio_get_nr_vecs to get the maximum number of pages to use
for a given device. It allocates one additional bio_vec to use
internally but failed to respect BIO_MAX_PAGES, so fix this.

We can't OR shift values, so get rid of BIO_RW_SYNC and use BIO_RW_SYNCIO
and BIO_RW_UNPLUG explicitly. This brings back the behaviour from before

Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one
in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs
in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes.
This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may
want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation
more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio.
Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end
of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now
possible.
