Maurizio Lombardi fcbf6a087a bio: modify __bio_add_page() to accept pages that don't start a new segment
The original behaviour is to refuse to add a new page if the maximum
number of segments has been reached, regardless of the fact the page we
are going to add can be merged into the last segment or not.

Unfortunately, when the system runs under heavy memory fragmentation
conditions, a driver may try to add multiple pages to the last segment.
The original code won't accept them and EBUSY will be reported to
userspace.

This patch modifies the function so it refuses to add a page only in case
the latter starts a new segment and the maximum number of segments has
already been reached.

The bug can be easily reproduced with the st driver:

1) set CONFIG_SCSI_MPT2SAS_MAX_SGE or CONFIG_SCSI_MPT3SAS_MAX_SGE  to 16
2) modprobe st buffer_kbs=1024
3) #dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/st0 bs=1M count=10
   dd: error writing `/dev/st0': Device or resource busy

Gu Zheng 394ffa503b blk: introduce generic io stat accounting help function
Many block drivers accounting io stat based on bio (e.g. NVMe...),
the blk_account_io_start/end() which is based on request
does not make sense to them, so here we introduce the similar help
function named generic_start/end_io_acct base on raw sectors, and it can
simplify some driver's open io accounting code.

Junichi Nomura d8f429e166 block: add bioset_create_nobvec()
Users of bio_clone_fast() do not want bios with their own bvecs.
Allocating a bvec mempool as part of the bioset intended for such users
is a waste of memory.

bioset_create_nobvec() creates a bioset that doesn't have the bvec
mempool.

Mikulas Patocka 6a24148361 block: use kmalloc alignment for bio slab
Various subsystems can ask the bio subsystem to create a bio slab cache
with some free space before the bio.  This free space can be used for any
purpose.  Device mapper uses this per-bio-data feature to place some
target-specific and device-mapper specific data before the bio, so that
the target-specific data doesn't have to be allocated separately.

This per-bio-data mechanism is used in place of kmalloc, so we need the
allocated slab to have the same memory alignment as memory allocated
with kmalloc.

Change bio_find_or_create_slab() so that it uses ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN
alignment when creating the slab cache.  This is needed so that dm-crypt
can use per-bio-data for encryption - the crypto subsystem assumes this
data will have the same alignment as kmalloc'ed memory.

Jens Axboe 66cb45aa41 block: add support for limiting gaps in SG lists
Another restriction inherited for NVMe - those devices don't support
SG lists that have "gaps" in them. Gaps refers to cases where the
previous SG entry doesn't end on a page boundary. For NVMe, all SG
entries must start at offset 0 (except the first) and end on a page
boundary (except the last).

Linus Torvalds 23d4ed53b7 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Final small batch of fixes to be included before -rc1.  Some general
  cleanups in here as well, but some of the blk-mq fixes we need for the
  NVMe conversion and/or scsi-mq.  The pull request contains:

   - Support for not merging across a specified "chunk size", if set by
     the driver.  Some NVMe devices perform poorly for IO that crosses
     such a chunk, so we need to support it generically as part of
     request merging avoid having to do complicated split logic.  From
     me.

   - Bump max tag depth to 10Ki tags.  Some scsi devices have a huge
     shared tag space.  Before we failed with EINVAL if a too large tag
     depth was specified, now we truncate it and pass back the actual
     value.  From me.

   - Various blk-mq rq init fixes from me and others.

   - A fix for enter on a dying queue for blk-mq from Keith.  This is
     needed to prevent oopsing on hot device removal.

   - Fixup for blk-mq timer addition from Ming Lei.

   - Small round of performance fixes for mtip32xx from Sam Bradshaw.

   - Minor stack leak fix from Rickard Strandqvist.

   - Two __init annotations from Fabian Frederick"

Jens Axboe 58a4915ad2 block: ensure that bio_add_page() always accepts a page for an empty bio
With commit 762380ad93 added support for chunk sizes and no merging
across them, it broke the rule of always allowing adding of a single
page to an empty bio. So relax the restriction a bit to allow for that,
similarly to what we have always done.

This fixes a crash with mkfs.xfs and 512b sector sizes on NVMe.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on cgroup side.  Heavy restructuring including
  locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable
  implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind
  a __DEVEL__ mount option.  The core support is mostly complete but
  individual controllers need further work.  To explain the design and
  rationales of the the unified hierarchy

        Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt

  is added.

  Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each
  controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration
  update.  This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and
  visibility.  cgroup started with reference count draining on removal
  way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are
  iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to
  allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted.  The css
  iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be
  used to simplify memcg significantly"

Jens Axboe 762380ad93 block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging
Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should
optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to
dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver
to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will
then prevent merging across the chunks.

This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size.
