Jan Kara dc3b17cc8b block: Use pointer to backing_dev_info from request_queue
We will want to have struct backing_dev_info allocated separately from
struct request_queue. As the first step add pointer to backing_dev_info
to request_queue and convert all users touching it. No functional
changes in this patch.

Christoph Hellwig be07e14f96 blk-wbt: don't throttle discard or write zeroes
Both of these are metadata only commands that are not issued by the
writeback code and not directly relevant to the writeback bandwith.

Chaitanya Kulkarni a6f0788ec2 block: add support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES
This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of
LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use
either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes.
The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command,
but in the future, this should also help with improving the way
zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in
sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one
write zeroes operation by the device.

Jens Axboe d62118b6dd blk-wbt: allow wbt to be enabled always through sysfs
Currently there's no way to enable wbt if it's not enabled in the
kernel config by default for a device. Allow a write to the
'wbt_lat_usec' queue sysfs file to enable wbt.

This is useful for both the kernel config case, but also if the
device is CFQ managed and it was turned off by default.

Jens Axboe fa224eed2b blk-wbt: cleanup disable-by-default for CFQ
Make it clear that we are disabling wbt for the specified queued,
if it was enabled by default. This is in preparation for allowing
users to re-enable wbt, and not have it disabled automatically
again.

Jens Axboe 80e091d10e blk-wbt: allow reset of default latency through sysfs
Allow a write of '-1' to reset the default latency target for
a given device. This removes knowledge of the different default
settings for rotational vs non-rotational from user space.

Arnd Bergmann 4121d385f1 blk-wbt: fix old-style function declaration
The newly added driver causes a harmless warning in some configurations:

block/blk-wbt.c:250:1: error: ‘inline’ is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
 static bool inline stat_sample_valid(struct blk_rq_stat *stat)

This makes it use the expected format for the declaration.

Again a leftover from when the throttling code was generic. Now that we

The bdi was a leftover from when the code was block layer agnostic.
Now that we just support a block layer user, store the queue directly.

Jens Axboe e34cbd3074 blk-wbt: add general throttling mechanism
We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered
writes.

wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is
happening in the system:

wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318
wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1,
               wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57
wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32

This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat
dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a
step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the
device, 259:0 in this case.
