Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.
For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.
blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Pull block core updates from Jens Axboe:
"It's a big(ish) round this time, lots of development effort has gone
into blk-mq in the last 3 months. Generally we're heading to where
3.16 will be a feature complete and performant blk-mq. scsi-mq is
progressing nicely and will hopefully be in 3.17. A nvme port is in
progress, and the Micron pci-e flash driver, mtip32xx, is converted
and will be sent in with the driver pull request for 3.16.
This pull request contains:
- Lots of prep and support patches for scsi-mq have been integrated.
All from Christoph.
- API and code cleanups for blk-mq from Christoph.
- Lots of good corner case and error handling cleanup fixes for
blk-mq from Ming Lei.
- A flew of blk-mq updates from me:
* Provide strict mappings so that the driver can rely on the CPU
to queue mapping. This enables optimizations in the driver.
* Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never
really worked well for blk-mq. percpu_ida relies on the fact
that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it
fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to
exhausting) the tag space.
* Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq
* Various fixes for IO timeouts.
* API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations.
- Remove 'buffer' from struct request. This is ancient code, from
when requests were always virtually mapped. Kill it, to reclaim
some space in struct request. From me.
- Remove 'magic' from blk_plug. Since we store these on the stack
and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just
get rid of it. From me.
- Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two
atomic reads. Hopefully we'll get a better implementation soon, as
the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing
IO on blk-mq. From me.
- File migration of block code from {mm,fs}/ to block/. This
includes bio.c, bio-integrity.c, bounce.c, and ioprio.c. From me,
from a discussion on lkml.
That should describe the meat of the pull request. Also has various
little fixes and cleanups from Dave Jones, Shaohua Li, Duan Jiong,
Fengguang Wu, Fabian Frederick, Randy Dunlap, Robert Elliott, and Sam
Bradshaw"

sleep_on() is inherently racy, and has been deprecated for a long time.
This fixes two instances in the atari floppy driver:
* fdc_wait/fdc_busy becomes an open-coded mutex. We cannot use the
regular mutex since it gets released in interrupt context. The
open-coded version using wait_event() and cmpxchg() is equivalent
to the existing code but does the checks atomically, and we can
now safely check the condition with irqs enabled.
* format_wait becomes a completion, which is the natural structure
here. The format ioctl waits for the background task to either
complete or abort.
This does not attempt to fix the preexisting bug of calling schedule
with local interrupts disabled.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

There is a nice gem in drivers/block/ataflop.c::do_fd_request()
void do_fd_request(struct request_queue * q)

DPRINT(("do_fd_request for pid %d\n",current->pid));
while( fdc_busy ) sleep_on( &fdc_wait );

local_irq_disable(); * disabled... so must save the IPL for later */
redo_fd_request();
local_irq_restore(flags);
atari_enable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC );
}
If you look at the code long enough, you will notioce that the
local_irq_disable() call is actually commented out. This has been
introduced back in 2002 in [1], but as you can see, the same bug has been
there even before, with the sti() call being commented out in the very
same way :)
I am not familiar with the code myself at all, but I guess that the whole
stuff can just be removed. Why do we need save_flags/restore_flags at all,
without actually disabling the local IRQs afterwards? The
redo_fd_request() doesn't seem to do anything that would mess with flags
inconsistently.

That does look odd. The comment is correct that the function is entered
with interrupts disabled (and the queue lock held). So I'd say your
patch looks fine, the whole save/restore business looks meaningless.

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

MODULE_PARM was actually breaking: recent gcc version optimize them out as
unused. It's time to replace the last users, which are generally in the
most unloved drivers anyway.

Use ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]) and remove a
duplicate of ARRAY_SIZE. Some trailing whitespaces are also removed.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
