__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

There is no good reason to keep the I/O unit structures around after the
stripe has been written back to the RAID array. The only information
we need is the log sequence number, and the checkpoint offset of the
highest successfull writeback. Store those in the log structure, and
free the IO units from __r5l_stripe_write_finished.
Besides simplifying the code this also avoid having to keep the allocation
for the I/O unit around for a potentially long time as superblock updates
that checkpoint the log do not happen very often.
This also fixes the previously incorrect calculation of 'free' in
r5l_do_reclaim as a side effect: previous if took the last unit which
isn't checkpointed into account.

There is a case a stripe gets delayed forever.
1. a stripe finishes construction
2. a new bio hits the stripe
3. handle_stripe runs for the stripe. The stripe gets DELAYED bit set
since construction can't run for new bio (the stripe is locked since
step 1)
Without log, handle_stripe will call ops_run_io. After IO finishes, the
stripe gets unlocked and the stripe will restart and run construction
for the new bio. With log, ops_run_io need to run two times. If the
DELAYED bit set, the stripe can't enter into the handle_list, so the
second ops_run_io doesn't run, which leaves the stripe stalled.

Commit 54efd50bfd ("block: make
generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios") makes it possible
for block devices to process large bios. In doing so that commit
allocates a new queue->bio_split bioset for each block device, this
bioset is used for allocating bios when the driver needs to split large
bios.
Each bioset allocates a workqueue process, thus the above commit
increases the number of processes allocated per block device.
DM doesn't need the queue->bio_split bioset, thus we can deallocate it.
This reduces the number of allocated processes per bio-based DM device
from 3 to 2. Also remove the call to blk_queue_split(), it is not
needed because DM does its own splitting.

e.g. devices may only have a single target attached.
This is mostly intended for multipathing.

This moves the call to blkdev_ioctl and the argument checking to DM core
code, and only leaves a callout to find the block device to operate on
in the targets. This simplifies the code and allows us to pass through
ioctl-like command using other methods in the next patch.
Also split out a helper around calling the prepare_ioctl method that
will be reused for persistent reservation handling.
