Correct the comments since bfq_fifo_expire[0] is for async request,
while bfq_fifo_expire[1] is for sync request.
Also update docs, according the source code, the default
fifo_expire_async is 250ms, and fifo_expire_sync is 125ms.

Per ZBC and ZAC specifications, host-managed SMR hard-disks mandate that
all writes into sequential write required zones be aligned to the device
physical block size. However, NVMe ZNS does not have this constraint and
allows write operations into sequential zones to be aligned to the
device logical block size. This inconsistency does not help with
software portability across device types.
To solve this, introduce the zone_write_granularity queue limit to
indicate the alignment constraint, in bytes, of write operations into
zones of a zoned block device. This new limit is exported as a
read-only sysfs queue attribute and the helper
blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() introduced for drivers to set this
limit.
The function blk_queue_set_zoned() is modified to set this new limit to
the device logical block size by default. NVMe ZNS devices as well as
zoned nullb devices use this default value as is. The scsi disk driver
is modified to execute the blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() helper to
set the zone write granularity of host-managed SMR disks to the disk
physical block size.
The accessor functions queue_zone_write_granularity() and
bdev_zone_write_granularity() are also introduced.

Add a resource-managed variant of blk_ksm_init() so that drivers don't
have to worry about calling blk_ksm_destroy().
Note that the implementation uses a custom devres action to call
blk_ksm_destroy() rather than switching the two allocations to be
directly devres-managed, e.g. with devm_kmalloc(). This is because we
need to keep zeroing the memory containing the keyslots when it is
freed, and also because we want to continue using kvmalloc() (and there
is no devm_kvmalloc()).

zero-length bvec segments are allowed in general, but not handled by bio
and down the block layer so filtered out. This inconsistency may be
confusing and prevent from optimisations. As zero-length segments are
useless and places that were generating them are patched, declare them
not allowed.

The :c:type:`foo` only works properly with structs before
Sphinx 3.x.
On Sphinx 3.x, structs should now be declared using the

convert:

A zoned device with limited resources to open or activate zones may
return an error when the host exceeds those limits. The same command may
be successful if retried later, but the host needs to wait for specific
zone states before it should expect a retry to succeed. Have the block
layer provide an appropriate status for these conditions so applications
can distinuguish this error for special handling.

Add a new max_active zones definition in the sysfs documentation.
This definition will be common for all devices utilizing the zoned block
device support in the kernel.
Export max_active_zones according to this new definition for NVMe Zoned
Namespace devices, ZAC ATA devices (which are treated as SCSI devices by
the kernel), and ZBC SCSI devices.
Add the new max_active_zones member to struct request_queue, rather
than as a queue limit, since this property cannot be split across stacking
drivers.
For SCSI devices, even though max active zones is not part of the ZBC/ZAC
spec, export max_active_zones as 0, signifying "no limit".

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"Highlights:
- speedup dead root detection during orphan cleanup, eg. when there
are many deleted subvolumes waiting to be cleaned, the trees are
now looked up in radix tree instead of a O(N^2) search
- snapshot creation with inherited qgroup will mark the qgroup
inconsistent, requires a rescan
- send will emit file capabilities after chown, this produces a
stream that does not need postprocessing to set the capabilities
again
- direct io ported to iomap infrastructure, cleaned up and simplified
code, notably removing last use of struct buffer_head in btrfs code
Core changes:
- factor out backreference iteration, to be used by ordinary
backreferences and relocation code
- improved global block reserve utilization
* better logic to serialize requests
* increased maximum available for unlink
* improved handling on large pages (64K)
- direct io cleanups and fixes
* simplify layering, where cloned bios were unnecessarily created
for some cases
* error handling fixes (submit, endio)
* remove repair worker thread, used to avoid deadlocks during
repair
- refactored block group reading code, preparatory work for new type
of block group storage that should improve mount time on large
filesystems
Cleanups:
- cleaned up (and slightly sped up) set/get helpers for metadata data
structure members
- root bit REF_COWS got renamed to SHAREABLE to reflect the that the
blocks of the tree get shared either among subvolumes or with the
relocation trees
Fixes:
- when subvolume deletion fails due to ENOSPC, the filesystem is not
turned read-only
- device scan deals with devices from other filesystems that changed
ownership due to overwrite (mkfs)
- fix a race between scrub and block group removal/allocation
- fix long standing bug of a runaway balance operation, printing the
same line to the syslog, caused by a stale status bit on a reloc
tree that prevented progress
- fix corrupt log due to concurrent fsync of inodes with shared
extents
- fix space underflow for NODATACOW and buffered writes when it for
some reason needs to fallback to COW mode"

The kernel documentation includes a brief section about genhd
capabilities, but it turns out that the only documented
capability (GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY) isn't used any more.
This patch removes that flag, and documents the rest, based on my
understanding of the current uses of these flags in the kernel. The
documentation is kept in the header file, alongside the declarations,
in the hope that it will be kept up-to-date in future; the kernel
documentation is changed to include the documentation generated from
the header file.
Because the ultimate goal is to provide some end-user
documentation (or end-administrator documentation), the comments are
perhaps more user-oriented than might be expected. Since the values
are shown to users in hexadecimal, the documentation lists them in
hexadecimal, and the constant declarations are adjusted to match.

Requests that triggers flushing volatile writeback cache to disk (barriers)
have significant effect to overall performance.
Block layer has sophisticated engine for combining several flush requests
into one. But there is no statistics for actual flushes executed by disk.
Requests which trigger flushes usually are barriers - zero-size writes.
This patch adds two iostat counters into /sys/class/block/$dev/stat and
/proc/diskstats - count of completed flush requests and their total time.

Several block layer users who are not kernel developers do not know that
the word 'segment' refers to an element in a DMA scatter/gather list. Make
the block layer documentation easier to understand by stating explicitly
what the word 'segment' stands for.

We only need the number of segments in the blk-mq submission path.
Remove the field from struct bio, and return it from a variant of
blk_queue_split instead of that it can passed as an argument to
those functions that need the value.
This also means we stop recounting segments except for cloning
and partial segments.
To keep the number of arguments in this how path down remove
pointless struct request_queue arguments from any of the functions
that had it and grew a nr_segs argument.

Convert the cgroup-v1 files to ReST format, in order to
allow a later addition to the admin-guide.

- add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs;
- fix tables markups;

- mark literal blocks;
- adjust title markups.

If the kernel is built without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED, a modprobe
of the null_blk driver with zoned=1 fails with 'Invalid argument'.
This can be confusing to users, prompting a search as to why the
parameter is invalid. To assist in that search, add a bit more
information to the failure, additionally adding to the documentation
that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is needed for zoned=1.
