Merge it with __elv_add_request(), it's pretty pointless to
have a function with only two callers. The main interface
is elv_add_request()/__elv_add_request().

One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.
Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
merging).
This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that
can be merged.
Thanks to Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> for testing and fixing
an accounting bug.

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.
The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.
The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.

This merge creates two set of conflicts. One is simple context
conflicts caused by removal of throtl_scheduled_delayed_work() in
for-linus and removal of throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() in
for-2.6.39/core.
The other is caused by commit 255bb490c8 (block: blk-flush shouldn't
call directly into q->request_fn() __blk_run_queue()) in for-linus
crashing with FLUSH reimplementation in for-2.6.39/core. The conflict
isn't trivial but the resolution is straight-forward.
* __blk_run_queue() calls in flush_end_io() and flush_data_end_io()
should be called with @force_kblockd set to %true.
* elv_insert() in blk_kick_flush() should use
%ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE.
Both changes are to avoid invoking ->request_fn() directly from
request completion path and closely match the changes in the commit
255bb490c8.

__blk_run_queue() automatically either calls q->request_fn() directly
or schedules kblockd depending on whether the function is recursed.
blk-flush implementation needs to be able to explicitly choose
kblockd. Add @force_kblockd.
All the current users are converted to specify %false for the
parameter and this patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.
stable: This is prerequisite for fixing ide oops caused by the new
blk-flush implementation.

Flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler. Convert request
structure's elevator_private* into an array and have the flush fields
share a union with it.
Reclaim the space lost in 'struct request' by moving 'completion_data'

The current FLUSH/FUA support has evolved from the implementation
which had to perform queue draining. As such, sequencing is done
queue-wide one flush request after another. However, with the
draining requirement gone, there's no reason to keep the queue-wide
sequential approach.
This patch reimplements FLUSH/FUA support such that each FLUSH/FUA
request is sequenced individually. The actual FLUSH execution is
double buffered and whenever a request wants to execute one for either
PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues on the pending queue. Once certain
conditions are met, a flush request is issued and on its completion
all pending requests proceed to the next sequence.
This allows arbitrary merging of different type of flushes. How they
are merged can be primarily controlled and tuned by adjusting the
above said 'conditions' used to determine when to issue the next
flush.
This is inspired by Darrick's patches to merge multiple zero-data
flushes which helps workloads with highly concurrent fsync requests.
* As flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler, request fields
used for flush share space with rq->rb_node. rq->completion_data is
moved out of the union. This increases the request size by one
pointer.
As rq->elevator_private* are used only by the iosched too, it is
possible to reduce the request size further. However, to do that,
we need to modify request allocation path such that iosched data is
not allocated for flush requests.
* FLUSH/FUA processing happens on insertion now instead of dispatch.
- Comments updated as per Vivek and Mike.

REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers. What's left
at this point is:
- various checks inside the block layer.
- sanity checks in bio based drivers.
- now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
- Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
- setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
drivers.
- scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
- blktrace handling of barriers - removed. Someone who knows blktrace
better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler
instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions.
This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between
those two calls. And since we already have this functionality
directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers
online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too.
But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state
before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator
kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops
like this:

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().

Currently drivers must do an elevator_exit() + elevator_init()
to switch IO schedulers. There are a few problems with this:
- Since commit 1abec4fdbb142e3ccb6ce99832fae42129134a96,
elevator_init() requires a zeroed out q->elevator
pointer. The two existing in-kernel users don't do that.
- It will only work at initialization time, since using the
above two-staged construct does not properly quisce the queue.
So add elevator_change() which takes care of this, and convert
the elv_iosched_store() sysfs interface to use this helper as well.

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

Bio-based DM doesn't use an elevator (queue is !blk_queue_stackable()).
Longer-term DM will not allocate an elevator for bio-based DM. But even
then there will be small potential for an elevator to be allocated for
a request-based DM table only to have a bio-based table be loaded in the
end.
Displaying "none" for bio-based DM will help avoid user confusion.

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.

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.

effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata

Commit ab0fd1debe730ec9998678a0c53caefbd121ed10 tries to prevent merge
of requests with different failfast settings. In elv_rq_merge_ok(),
it compares new bio's failfast flags against the merge target
request's. However, the flag testing accessors for bio and blk don't
return boolean but the tested bit value directly and FAILFAST on bio
and blk don't match, so directly comparing them with == results in
false negative unnecessary preventing merge of readahead requests.
This patch convert the results to boolean by negating them before
comparison.

Block layer used to merge requests and bios with different failfast
settings. This caused regular IOs to fail prematurely when they were
merged into failfast requests for readahead.
Niel Lambrechts could trigger the problem semi-reliably on ext4 when
resuming from STR. ext4 uses readahead when reading inodes and
combined with the deterministic extra SATA PHY exception cycle during
resume on the specific configuration, non-readahead inode read would
fail causing ext4 errors. Please read the following thread for
details.
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/23/21
This patch makes block layer reject merging if the failfast settings
don't match. This is correct but likely to lower IO performance by
preventing regular IOs from mingling into surrounding readahead
requests. Changes to allow such mixed merges and handle errors
correctly will be added later.

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
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out

I found one more mis-conversion to the 'request is always dequeued
when completing' model in elv_abort_queue() during code inspection.
Although I haven't hit any problem caused by this mis-conversion yet
and just done compile/boot test, please apply if you have no problem.
Request must be dequeued when it completes.
However, elv_abort_queue() completes requests without dequeueing.
This will cause oops in the __blk_end_request_all().
This patch fixes the oops.

However, many of the I/O characteristics like sector size, maximum

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.

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().
* s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct
calls to blk_end_request_all().

Impact: code reorganization
elv_next_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are public block layer
interface than actual elevator implementation. They mostly deal with
how requests interact with block layer and low level drivers at the
beginning of rqeuest processing whereas __elv_next_request() is the
actual eleveator request fetching interface.
Move the two functions to blk-core.c. This prepares for further
interface cleanup.

blk_start_queueing() is identical to __blk_run_queue() except that it
doesn't check for recursion. None of the current users depends on

Empty barrier required special handling in __elv_next_request() to
complete it without letting the low level driver see it.
With previous changes, barrier code is now flexible enough to skip the
BAR step using the same barrier sequence selection mechanism. Drop
the special handling and mask off q->ordered from start_ordered().
Remove blk_empty_barrier() test which now has no user.

Barrier completion had the following assumptions.
* start_ordered() couldn't finish the whole sequence properly. If all
actions are to be skipped, q->ordseq is set correctly but the actual
completion was never triggered thus hanging the barrier request.
* Drain completion in elv_complete_request() assumed that there's
always at least one request in the queue when drain completes.
Both assumptions are true but these assumptions need to be removed to
improve empty barrier implementation. This patch makes the following
changes.
* Make start_ordered() use blk_ordered_complete_seq() to mark skipped
steps complete and notify __elv_next_request() that it should fetch
the next request if the whole barrier has completed inside
start_ordered().
* Make drain completion path in elv_complete_request() check whether
the queue is empty. Empty queue also indicates drain completion.
* While at it, convert 0/1 return from blk_do_ordered() to false/true.

'tracing/urgent' into tracing/core

blkdev_dequeue_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are equivalent and
both start the timeout timer. Barrier code dequeues the original
barrier request but doesn't passes the request itself to lower level
driver, only broken down proxy requests; however, as the original
barrier code goes through the same dequeue path and timeout timer is
started on it. If barrier sequence takes long enough, this timer
expires but the low level driver has no idea about this request and
oops follows.
Timeout timer shouldn't have been started on the original barrier
request as it never goes through actual IO. This patch unexports
elv_dequeue_request(), which has no external user anyway, and makes it
operate on elevator proper w/o adding the timer and make
blkdev_dequeue_request() call elv_dequeue_request() and add timer.
Internal users which don't pass the request to driver - barrier code
and end_that_request_last() - are converted to use
elv_dequeue_request().
