Jens Axboe 7ad58c0286 block: fix use-after-free bug in blk throttle code
blk_throtl_exit() frees the throttle data hanging off the queue
in blk_cleanup_queue(), but blk_put_queue() will indirectly
dereference this data when calling blk_sync_queue() which in
turns calls throtl_shutdown_timer_wq().

Fix this by moving the freeing of the throttle data to when
the queue is truly being released, and post the call to
blk_sync_queue().

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.

The detailed root cause is as follows.

Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.

1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
   is 0 and sda2's one is 1.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
   step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
   from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
   hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
   sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |         -1
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.

When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no
request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe
to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted
again.

Currently __blk_rq_prep_clone() copies only REQ_WRITE and REQ_DISCARD.
There's no reason to omit other command flags and REQ_FUA needs to be
copied to implement FUA support in request-based dm.

REQ_COMMON_MASK which specifies flags to be copied from bio to request
already identifies all the command flags.  Define REQ_CLONE_MASK to be
the same as REQ_COMMON_MASK for clarity and make __blk_rq_prep_clone()

There are a number of make_request based drivers which don't support

Tejun Heo 4fed947cb3 block: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA based interface for FLUSH/FUA requests
Now that the backend conversion is complete, export sequenced
FLUSH/FUA capability through REQ_FLUSH/FUA flags.  REQ_FLUSH means the
device cache should be flushed before executing the request.  REQ_FUA
means that the data in the request should be on non-volatile media on
completion.

Block layer will choose the correct way of implementing the semantics
and execute it.  The request may be passed to the device directly if
the device can handle it; otherwise, it will be sequenced using one or
more proxy requests.  Devices will never see REQ_FLUSH and/or FUA
which it doesn't support.

Also, unlike the original REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests are
never failed with -EOPNOTSUPP.  If the underlying device doesn't
support FLUSH/FUA, the block layer simply make those noop.  IOW, it no
longer distinguishes between writeback cache which doesn't support
cache flush and writethrough/no cache.  Devices which have WB cache
w/o flush are very difficult to come by these days and there's nothing
much we can do anyway, so it doesn't make sense to require everyone to
implement -EOPNOTSUPP handling.  This will simplify filesystems and
block drivers as they can drop -EOPNOTSUPP retry logic for barriers.

* QUEUE_ORDERED_* are removed and QUEUE_FSEQ_* are moved into
  blk-flush.c.

* REQ_FLUSH w/o data can also be directly passed to drivers without
  sequencing but some drivers assume that zero length requests don't
  have rq->bio which isn't true for these requests requiring the use
  of proxy requests.

* REQ_COMMON_MASK now includes REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA so that they are
  copied from bio to request.

* WRITE_BARRIER is marked deprecated and WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA and
  WRITE_FLUSH_FUA are added.

Tejun Heo 28e7d18452 block: drop barrier ordering by queue draining
Filesystems will take all the responsibilities for ordering requests
around commit writes and will only indicate how the commit writes
themselves should be handled by block layers.  This patch drops
barrier ordering by queue draining from block layer.  Ordering by
draining implementation was somewhat invasive to request handling.
List of notable changes follow.

* Each queue has 1 bit color which is flipped on each barrier issue.
  This is used to track whether a given request is issued before the
  current barrier or not.  REQ_ORDERED_COLOR flag and coloring
  implementation in __elv_add_request() are removed.

* Requests which shouldn't be processed yet for draining were stalled
  by returning -EAGAIN from blk_do_ordered() according to the test
  result between blk_ordered_req_seq() and blk_blk_ordered_cur_seq().
  This logic is removed.

* Draining completion logic in elv_completed_request() removed.

* All barrier sequence requests were queued to request queue and then
  trckled to lower layer according to progress and thus maintaining
  request orders during requeue was necessary.  This is replaced by
  queueing the next request in the barrier sequence only after the
  current one is complete from blk_ordered_complete_seq(), which
  removes the need for multiple proxy requests in struct request_queue
  and the request sorting logic in the ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE path of
  elv_insert().

* As barriers no longer have ordering constraints, there's no need to
  dump the whole elevator onto the dispatch queue on each barrier.
  Insert barriers at the front instead.

* If other barrier requests come to the front of the dispatch queue
  while one is already in progress, they are stored in
  q->pending_barriers and restored to dispatch queue one-by-one after
  each barrier completion from blk_ordered_complete_seq().

Tejun Heo dd831006d5 block: misc cleanups in barrier code
Make the following cleanups in preparation of barrier/flush update.

* blk_do_ordered() declaration is moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to
  block/blk.h.

* blk_do_ordered() now returns pointer to struct request, with %NULL
  meaning "try the next request" and ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) "try again
  later".  The third case will be dropped with further changes.

* In the initialization of proxy barrier request, data direction is
  already set by init_request_from_bio().  Drop unnecessary explicit
  REQ_WRITE setting and move init_request_from_bio() above REQ_FUA
  flag setting.

* add_request() is collapsed into __make_request().

These changes don't make any functional difference.

Tejun Heo 4913efe456 block: deprecate barrier and replace blk_queue_ordered() with blk_queue_flush()
Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests.  Deprecate barrier.  All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().

blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA.  If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH.  If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.

All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.

* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

Christoph Hellwig 66ac028019 block: don't allocate a payload for discard request
Allocating a fixed payload for discard requests always was a horrible hack,
and it's not coming to byte us when adding support for discard in DM/MD.

So change the code to leave the allocation of a payload to the lowlevel
driver.  Unfortunately that means we'll need another hack, which allows
us to update the various block layer length fields indicating that we
have a payload.  Instead of hiding this in sd.c, which we already partially
do for UNMAP support add a documented helper in the core block layer for it.

Jens Axboe e2e1a148bc block: add sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions
There are two reasons for doing this:

- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
  are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
  should contribute to the random pool in the first place.

- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

This adds /sys/block/<dev>/queue/add_random that will allow you to
switch off on a per-device basis. The default setting is on, so there
should be no functional changes from this patch.

This addresses an interface bug introduced by the following commit:
01effb0 block: allow initialization of previously allocated
request_queue

Otherwise the request_queue may be free'd out from underneath a caller
that is managing the request_queue directly (e.g. caller uses
blk_alloc_queue + blk_init_allocated_queue_node).

Mike Snitzer 01effb0dc1 block: allow initialization of previously allocated request_queue
blk_init_queue() allocates the request_queue structure and then
initializes it as needed (request_fn, elevator, etc).

Split initialization out to blk_init_allocated_queue_node.
Introduce blk_init_allocated_queue wrapper function to model existing
blk_init_queue and blk_init_queue_node interfaces.

Export elv_register_queue to allow a newly added elevator to be
registered with sysfs.  Export elv_unregister_queue for symmetry.

These changes allow DM to initialize a device's request_queue with more
precision.  In particular, DM no longer unconditionally initializes a
full request_queue (elevator et al).  It only does so for a
request-based DM device.

Divyesh Shah 812d402648 blkio: Add io_merged stat
This includes both the number of bios merged into requests belonging to this
cgroup as well as the number of requests merged together.
In the past, we've observed different merging behavior across upstream kernels,
some by design some actual bugs. This stat helps a lot in debugging such
problems when applications report decreased throughput with a new kernel
version.

This needed adding an extra elevator function to capture bios being merged as I
did not want to pollute elevator code with blkiocg knowledge and hence needed
the accounting invocation to come from CFQ.

One of the features of laptop-mode is that it forces a writeout of dirty

The current implementation flushes pages on all devices, rather than only
the one that triggered the flush. This patch alters the behaviour so that
only the recently accessed block device is flushed, preventing other

Ilya Loginov 2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read

of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.

But  Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange

utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.

So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899

The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
        if (now == part->stamp)
                return;

-       if (part->in_flight) {

                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));

Currently we set the bio size to the byte equivalent of the blocks to
be trimmed when submitting the initial DISCARD ioctl.  That means it
is subject to the max_hw_sectors limitation of the HBA which is
much lower than the size of a DISCARD request we can support.
Add a separate max_discard_sectors tunable to limit the size for discard
requests.

We limit the max discard request size in bytes to 32bit as that is the
limit for bio->bi_size.  This could be much larger if we had a way to pass
that information through the block layer.

Christoph Hellwig c15227de13 block: use normal I/O path for discard requests
prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation
was effectively impossible.  This makes it inappropriate for all but
the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block
command set.  Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership
of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver
and not the submitter as usual.

It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether
the queue supports discard operations or not.  blkdev_issue_discard now
allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing
for the common ATA and SCSI implementations.

The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply
checking for the request being a discard.

Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation
yet.

Tejun Heo 80a761fd33 block: implement mixed merge of different failfast requests
Failfast has characteristics from other attributes.  When issuing,
executing and successuflly completing requests, failfast doesn't make
any difference.  It only affects how a request is handled on failure.
Allowing requests with different failfast settings to be merged cause
normal IOs to fail prematurely while not allowing has performance
penalties as failfast is used for read aheads which are likely to be
located near in-flight or to-be-issued normal IOs.

This patch introduces the concept of 'mixed merge'.  A request is a
mixed merge if it is merge of segments which require different
handling on failure.  Currently the only mixable attributes are
failfast ones (or lack thereof).

When a bio with different failfast settings is added to an existing
request or requests of different failfast settings are merged, the
merged request is marked mixed.  Each bio carries failfast settings
and the request always tracks failfast state of the first bio.  When
the request fails, blk_rq_err_bytes() can be used to determine how
many bytes can be safely failed without crossing into an area which
requires further retrials.

This allows request merging regardless of failfast settings while
keeping the failure handling correct.

This patch only implements mixed merge but doesn't enable it.  The
next one will update SCSI to make use of mixed merge.

Martin K. Petersen 7878cba9f0 block: Create bip slabs with embedded integrity vectors
This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity
infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs.  Each bip slab
has an embedded bio_vec array at the end.  This cuts down on memory
allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec
version.  Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool.  The pool is
contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward
progress.

Kiyoshi Ueda b0fd271d5f block: add request clone interface (v2)
This patch adds the following 2 interfaces for request-stacking drivers:

  - blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *clone, struct request *orig,
		      struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask,
		      int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio*, void *),
		      void *data)
      * Clones bios in the original request to the clone request
        (bio_ctr is called for each cloned bios.)
      * Copies attributes of the original request to the clone request.
        The actual data parts (e.g. ->cmd, ->buffer, ->sense) are not
        copied.

  - blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *clone)
      * Frees cloned bios from the clone request.

Request stacking drivers (e.g. request-based dm) need to make a clone
request for a submitted request and dispatch it to other devices.

To allocate request for the clone, request stacking drivers may not
be able to use blk_get_request() because the allocation may be done
in an irq-disabled context.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a request allocated by the caller
as an argument.

For each clone bio in the clone request, request stacking drivers
should be able to set up their own completion handler.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a callback function which is called
for each clone bio, and a pointer for private data which is passed
to the callback.

NOTE:
blk_rq_prep_clone() doesn't copy any actual data of the original
request.  Pages are shared between original bios and cloned bios.
So caller must not complete the original request before the clone
request.

Li Zefan 55782138e4 tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
  ...

Cons:

  - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
    no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
    no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.

    This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
    But this may change in the future.

  - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
    While blktrace do the convertion just before output.

    Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.

  - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
    has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.

    The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().

I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:

      dd                   dd + ioctl blktrace       dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1     7.36s, 42.7 MB/s     7.50s, 42.0 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2     7.43s, 42.3 MB/s     7.48s, 42.1 MB/s          7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3     7.38s, 42.6 MB/s     7.45s, 42.2 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s

So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.

And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:

 # ls -l -h
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1

Doing a bit of torture testing, I ran across a BUG in the block
subsystem (at blk-core.c:2048): the test for if the request is queued.

It turns out the trigger was a BLKPREP_KILL coming out of the SCSI prep

into __blk_end_request_all() with an error, but they've never been
dequeued, so they trip the bug.  Fix this by starting requests before

    block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch

Added a BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(req)) to the top of blk_finish_req().
Unfortunately, this checks whether req->queuelist is empty.  This list
is doing double duty both as the queue list and the tag list, so tagged
requests come in here with this not empty and boom (the tag list is
emptied by blk_queue_end_tag() lower down).

Fix this by moving the BUG_ON to below the end tag we also seem
vulnerable to this in blk_requeue_request() as well.  I think all uses
of blk_queued_rq() need auditing because the check is clearly wrong in
the tagged case.

Tejun Heo 5f49f63178 block: set rq->resid_len to blk_rq_bytes() on issue
In commit c3a4d78c58, while introducing
rq->resid_len, the default value of residue count was changed from
full count to zero.  The conversion was done under the assumption that
when a request fails residue count wasn't defined.  However, Boaz and
James pointed out that this wasn't true and the residue count should
be preserved for failed requests too.

This patchset restores the original behavior by setting rq->resid_len
to blk_rq_bytes(rq) on request start and restoring explicit clearing
in affected drivers.  While at it, take advantage of the fact that
rq->resid_len is set to full count where applicable.

* ide-cd: rq->resid_len cleared on pc success

* mptsas: req->resid_len cleared on success

* sas_expander: rsp/req->resid_len cleared on success

* mpt2sas_transport: req->resid_len cleared on success

* ide-cd, ide-tape, mptsas, sas_host_smp, mpt2sas_transport, ub: take
  advantage of initial full count to simplify code

Boaz Harrosh spotted bug in resid_len initialization.  Fixed as
suggested.

Tejun Heo 9934c8c045 block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch
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.

abusing block layer API.  Especially struct request's fields tend to
get violated in all possible ways.  Make it clear that low level
drivers MUST NOT access or manipulate rq->sector and rq->data_len
directly by prefixing them with double underscores.

This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes
which assume the previous block API where internal fields can be
manipulated and rq->data_len carries residual count on completion.

necessary and only cause confusion.  In addition, manual management of
request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at
the very least.

Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and
rq->bio->bi_size.  This is more convoluted than the hard_ case.

rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but
blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests.  rq->data_len is
initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc
requests.  This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer
and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of
black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and
what the specific LLD is actually doing.

rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in
the contiguous data area at the front.  This is mainly used by drivers
which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment.  This
value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9.  However, data length for
pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field
becomes a bit confusing.

In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property
leads only to confusion and subtle bugs.  With recent block low level
driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these
duplicate fields directly.  Drop all the duplicates.  Now rq->sector
means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and
rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length.  Everything else is
defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors.

* blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and
  now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update.
  This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no
  in-kernel user yet tho).

* bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer
  now uses byte count as the primary data length.

* blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct.  In-block users
  converted.

* blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is
  blk_rq_sectors().  In-block users converted.

* blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9.
  More convenient one is used.

* blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const
  pointer to request.

Tejun Heo 83096ebf12 block: convert to pos and nr_sectors accessors
With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
directly manipulates request fields.  This means that the 'hard'
request fields always equal the !hard fields.  Convert all
rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
accessors.

While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

Tejun Heo 40cbbb781d block: implement and use [__]blk_end_request_all()
There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion.  Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.

This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request.  BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.

Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.

* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
  __blk_end_request_all().

* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
  __blk_end_request_all().

Tejun Heo b243ddcbe9 block: move rq->start_time initialization to blk_rq_init()
rq->start_time was initialized in init_request_from_bio() so special
requests didn't have start_time set.  This has been okay as start_time
has been used only for fs requests; however, there is no indication of
this actually is the case or not.  Set rq->start_time in blk_rq_init()
and guarantee that all initialized rq's have its start_time set.  This
improves consistency at virtually no cost and future changes will make
use of the timestamp for !bio requests.

Tejun Heo 2e60e02297 block: clean up request completion API
Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit
messy over the time.  Clean it up.

1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around
   end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL
   before doing anything and handles bidi completion.
   blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around
   end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last
   iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion.

   Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors
   clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and
   renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the
   only user of end_that_request_data().  Collapse
   end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io().

2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(),
   __blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request().
   blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request()
   as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use
   separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different
   locking rules.

   blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io().  Collapse
   blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request
   update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add
   __blk_end_bidi_request().  Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin
   inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request().

3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be
   modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion
   functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning
   of return values.

4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it
   was a public interface and slighly confusing.  Give it a proper
   internal name - blk_finish_request().

5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely
   used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh.

The only visible behavior change is from #1.  nr_sectors counts are
cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to
complete the request.  I couldn't find any place where the code
assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last
segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more
consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is
completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with
blk_update_request().

API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.
