it should return an error (the only error condition is so grave that
it's handled with a BUG_ON).

New write batches currently start from where the last one completed.
We have no idea where the head is after switching batches, so this
makes little sense. Instead, start the next batch from the request
with the earliest deadline in the hope that we avoid a deadline
expiry later on.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

CFQ implements this on its own now, but it's really block layer
knowledge. Tells a device queue to start dispatching requests to
the driver, taking care to unplug if needed. Also fixes the issue
where as/cfq will invoke a stopped queue, which we really don't
want.

Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for
noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for
essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch
moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator
core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as
well. Win-win!

Right now ->flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and

A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

[RBTREE] Add accessor macros for colour and parent fields of rb_node
There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.
To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.
This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.

They were abusing the rb_color field to mark nodes which weren't currently

On rmmod path, cfq/as waits to make sure all io-contexts was

this patch replaces barrier() with smb_wmb().

Unlike other ioscheds, as-iosched handles alias by chaing them using
rq->queuelist. As aliased requests are very rare in the first place,
this complicates merge/dispatch handling without meaningful
performance improvement. This patch updates as-iosched to dump
aliased requests into dispatch queue as other ioscheds do.

Kill the arq->state poison statement in as_add_request(), it can trigger
for perfectly valid code that just reuses a request after io completion
instead of freeing it and allocating a new one. We probably should
introduce a blk_init_request() to start from scratch, but for now just
kill it as we will be removing the as specific poisoning soon.
