Linus Torvalds 12e3d3cdd9 Merge branch 'for-4.9/block-irq' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull blk-mq irq/cpu mapping updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block-irq topic branch for 4.9-rc. It's mostly from
  Christoph, and it allows drivers to specify their own mappings, and
  more importantly, to share the blk-mq mappings with the IRQ affinity
  mappings. It's a good step towards making this work better out of the
  box"

* 'for-4.9/block-irq' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  blk_mq: linux/blk-mq.h does not include all the headers it depends on
  blk-mq: kill unused blk_mq_create_mq_map()
  blk-mq: get rid of the cpumask in struct blk_mq_tags
  nvme: remove the post_scan callout
  nvme: switch to use pci_alloc_irq_vectors
  blk-mq: provide a default queue mapping for PCI device
  blk-mq: allow the driver to pass in a queue mapping
  blk-mq: remove ->map_queue
  blk-mq: only allocate a single mq_map per tag_set
  blk-mq: don't redistribute hardware queues on a CPU hotplug event

Stephen Rothwell 8ec2ef2b66 blk_mq: linux/blk-mq.h does not include all the headers it depends on
and building block/blk-mq-pci.o should depend on CONFIG_BLOCK

Omar Sandoval 88459642cb blk-mq: abstract tag allocation out into sbitmap library
This is a generally useful data structure, so make it available to
anyone else who might want to use it. It's also a nice cleanup
separating the allocation logic from the rest of the tag handling logic.

The code is behind a new Kconfig option, CONFIG_SBITMAP, which is only
selected by CONFIG_BLOCK for now.

This should be a complete noop functionality-wise.

Ross Zwisler 99a01cdf9d block: remove BLK_DEV_DAX config option
The functionality for block device DAX was already removed with commit
acc93d30d7 ("Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices"")

However, we still had a config option hanging around that was always
disabled because it depended on CONFIG_BROKEN.  This config option was
introduced in commit 03cdadb040 ("block: disable block device DAX by
default")

This change reverts that commit, removing the dead config option.

Paul Gortmaker 080506ad0a block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsing
Recently commit bab55417b1 ("block: support embedded device command
line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER.  However, that name
is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
arg processing, when it really is block specific.

Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
is block specific.

In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
 - help text was not really at all helpful.
 - index file for Documentation was not updated
 - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
 - clarify wording in source comments

David Rientjes 6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Vivek Goyal afc24d49c1 blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangement
This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues.

o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from
  "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception.
  Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from
  there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers.

o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED.

  This option currently does two things.

  - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace
  - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat
    files in cgroup.

  If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use
  if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to
  also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of
  all the additional debug stat files which is not desired.

  Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under
  CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

  This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all
  the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which
  can be enabled through config menu.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz db29a6b496 block: enable by default support for large devices and files on 32-bit archs
Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD):

- With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB
  limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using
  CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1).

- This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue:
  mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature
  enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on
  machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue
  when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system
  running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.).

While at it:

- Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems
  (they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).

Nick Andrew ee86418d39 Kconfig: clean up block/Kconfig help descriptions
Modify the help descriptions of block/Kconfig for clarity, accuracy and
consistency.

Refactor the BLOCK description a bit.  The wording "This permits ...  to be
removed" isn't quite right; the block layer is removed when the option is
disabled, whereas most descriptions talk about what happens when the option is
enabled.  Reformat the list of what is affected by disabling the block layer.

Add more examples of large block devices to LBD and strive for technical
accuracy; block devices of size _exactly_ 2TB require CONFIG_LBD, not only
"bigger than 2TB".  Also try to say (perhaps not very clearly) that the config
option is only needed when you want to have individual block devices of size
>= 2TB, for example if you had 3 x 1TB disks in your computer you'd have a
total storage size of 3TB but you wouldn't need the option unless you want to
aggregate those disks into a RAID or LVM.

Improve terminology and grammar on BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE.

I also added the boilerplate "If unsure, say N" to most options.

Precisely say "2TB and larger" for LSF.

Indent the help text for BLK_DEV_BSG by 2 spaces in accordance with the
standard.

Matthew Wilcox e62438630c [PATCH] Centralise definitions of sector_t and blkcnt_t
CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF are spread into asm/types.h for no particularly
good reason.

Centralising the definition in linux/types.h means that arch maintainers
don't need to bother adding it, as well as fixing the problem with
x86-64 users being asked to make a decision that has absolutely no
effect.

The H8/300 porters seem particularly confused since I'm not aware of any
microcontrollers that need to support 2TB filesystems.

David Howells 9361401eb7 [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

Trond Myklebust 88b9adb073 [PATCH] config: fix CONFIG_LFS option
The help text says that if you select CONFIG_LBD, then it will automatically
select CONFIG_LFS.  That isn't currently the case, so update the text.

- Get rid of the cruft in the help text mentioning CONFIG_LBD

- Tell unsure users to select CONFIG_LFS.

- Remove the `default n'.

Takashi Sato a0f62ac636 [PATCH] 2TB files: add blkcnt_t
Add blkcnt_t as the type of inode.i_blocks.  This enables you to make the size
of blkcnt_t either 4 bytes or 8 bytes on 32 bits architecture with CONFIG_LSF.

- CONFIG_LSF
  Add new configuration parameter.
- blkcnt_t
  On h8300, i386, mips, powerpc, s390 and sh that define sector_t,
  blkcnt_t is defined as u64 if CONFIG_LSF is enabled; otherwise it is
  defined as unsigned long.
  On other architectures, it is defined as unsigned long.
- inode.i_blocks
  Change the type from sector_t to blkcnt_t.
