DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and
internal event for revalidation of removeable devices. Some legacy
drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously
generate events under certain circumstances. For example, ide-cd
generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive,
which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth
between the driver and userland event handler.
This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never
propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland. Those
events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent
generation is suppressed.
This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised
in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.

The sort insert is the one that goes to the IO scheduler. With
the SORT_MERGE addition, we could bypass IO scheduler setup
but still ask the IO scheduler to insert the request. This would
cause an oops on switching IO schedulers through the sysfs
interface, unless the disk just happened to be idle while it
occured.

In queue_requests_store, the code looks like
if (rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC] >= q->nr_requests) {

} else if (rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC]+1 <= q->nr_requests) {
blk_clear_queue_full(q, BLK_RW_SYNC);
wake_up(&rl->wait[BLK_RW_SYNC]);
}
If we don't satify the situation of "if", we can get that
rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC} < q->nr_quests. It is the same as
rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC]+1 <= q->nr_requests.

We are currently using this flag to check whether it's safe

But we get a lot of false positives and excessive punts to
kblockd, which hurts performance.
The only real abuser of this infrastructure is SCSI. So export
the async queue run and convert SCSI over to use that. There's
room for improvement in that SCSI need not always use the async
call, but this fixes our performance issue and they can fix that

If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue
lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a

It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering
would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new

For the explicit unplugging, we'd prefer to kick things off

whether to call into this function at all.

There are worries that we are now consuming a lot more stack in
some cases, since we potentially call into IO dispatch from
schedule() or io_schedule(). We can reduce this problem by moving
the running of the queue to kblockd, like the old plugging scheme
did as well.
This may or may not be a good idea from a performance perspective,
depending on how many tasks have queue plugs running at the same
time. For even the slightly contended case, doing just a single
queue run from kblockd instead of multiple runs directly from the
unpluggers will be faster.

If the request_fn ends up blocking, we could be re-entering
the plug flush. Since the list is protected by explicitly
not allowing schedule events, this isn't a terribly good idea.
Additionally, it can cause us to recurse. As request_fn called by
__blk_run_queue is allowed to 'schedule()' (after dropping the queue
lock of course), it is possible to get a recursive call:
schedule -> blk_flush_plug -> __blk_finish_plug -> flush_plug_list
-> __blk_run_queue -> request_fn -> schedule
We must make sure that the second schedule does not call into
blk_flush_plug again. So instead of leaving the list of requests on
blk_plug->list, move them to a separate list leaving blk_plug->list
empty.

The current block integrity (DIF/DIX) support in DM is verifying that
all devices' integrity profiles match during DM device resume (which
is past the point of no return). To some degree that is unavoidable
(stacked DM devices force this late checking). But for most DM
devices (which aren't stacking on other DM devices) the ideal time to
verify all integrity profiles match is during table load.
Introduce the notion of an "initialized" integrity profile: a profile
that was blk_integrity_register()'d with a non-NULL 'blk_integrity'
template. Add blk_integrity_is_initialized() to allow checking if a
profile was initialized.
Update DM integrity support to:
- check all devices with _initialized_ integrity profiles match
during table load; uninitialized profiles (e.g. for underlying DM
device(s) of a stacked DM device) are ignored.
- disallow a table load that would result in an integrity profile that
conflicts with a DM device's existing (in-use) integrity profile
- avoid clearing an existing integrity profile
- validate all integrity profiles match during resume; but if they
don't all we can do is report the mismatch (during resume we're past
the point of no return)

Lina reported that if throttle limits are initially very high and then
dropped, then no new bio might be dispatched for a long time. And the
reason being that after dropping the limits we don't reset the existing
slice and do the rate calculation with new low rate and account the bios
dispatched at high rate. To fix it, reset the slice upon rate change.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/10/298
Another problem with very high limit is that we never queued the
bio on throtl service tree. That means we kept on extending the
group slice but never trimmed it. Fix that also by regulary
trimming the slice even if bio is not being queued up.

One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.
Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
merging).
This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that
can be merged.

Version 3 is updated to apply to for-2.6.39/core.
For version 2, I took Vivek's advice and made sure we update the group
weight from cfq_group_service_tree_add().
If a weight was updated while a group is on the service tree, the
calculation for the total weight of the service tree can be adjusted
improperly, which either leads to bad service tree weights, or
potentially crashes (if total_weight becomes 0).
This patch defers updates to the weight until a group is off the service
tree.

We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of
blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic.
The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of
submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition()
and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for.
However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is
calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At
this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait),
bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic!
(thread 1) (thread 2)
bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout()
if(bb) { ...
if (bb->end_io) ...
bb->end_io(bio, err); ...
atomic_inc(&bb->done); ...
... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done))
... (let issued == bb.done)
... (do the rest of the function)
... return ret;
complete(bb->wait);
^^^^^^^^
panic
We can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting.
Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.
