Various spots check for q->mq_ops being non-NULL, but provide
a helper to do this instead.
Where the ->mq_ops != NULL check is redundant, remove it.
Since mq == rq-based now that legacy is gone, get rid of the
queue_is_rq_based() and just use queue_is_mq() everywhere.

The boolean next_sorted is set to false and is never changed, hence
the code that checks if it is true is dead code and can now be
removed. This dead code occurred from a previous commit that cleaned
up the elevator and removed the setting of next_sorted to true.

This removes a bunch of core and elevator related code. On the core
front, we remove anything related to queue running, draining,
initialization, plugging, and congestions. We also kill anything
related to request allocation, merging, retrieval, and completion.
Remove any checking for single queue IO schedulers, as they no
longer exist. This means we can also delete a bunch of code related
to request issue, adding, completion, etc - and all the SQ related
ops and helpers.
Also kill the load_default_modules(), as all that did was provide
for a way to load the default single queue elevator.

When the deadline scheduler is used with a zoned block device, writes
to a zone will be dispatched one at a time. This causes the warning
message:
deadline: forced dispatching is broken (nr_sorted=X), please report this
to be displayed when switching to another elevator with the legacy I/O
path while write requests to a zone are being retained in the scheduler
queue.
Prevent this message from being displayed when executing
elv_drain_elevator() for a zoned block device. __blk_drain_queue() will
loop until all writes are dispatched and completed, resulting in the
desired elevator queue drain without extensive modifications to the
deadline code itself to handle forced-dispatch calls.

Instead of scheduling runtime resume of a request queue after a

allocation. The new pm_request_resume() calls occur after
blk_queue_enter() has increased the q_usage_counter request queue

Move the code for runtime power management from blk-core.c into the
new source file blk-pm.c. Move the corresponding declarations from
<linux/blkdev.h> into <linux/blk-pm.h>. For CONFIG_PM=n, leave out
the declarations of the functions that are not used in that mode.
This patch not only reduces the number of #ifdefs in the block layer

Currently, when update nr_hw_queues, IO scheduler's init_hctx will
be invoked before the mapping between ctx and hctx is adapted
correctly by blk_mq_map_swqueue. The IO scheduler init_hctx (kyber)
may depend on this mapping and get wrong result and panic finally.
A simply way to fix this is that switch the IO scheduler to 'none'
before update the nr_hw_queues, and then switch it back after
update nr_hw_queues. blk_mq_sched_init_/exit_hctx are removed due
to nobody use them any more.

Dispatch may still be in-progress after queue is frozen, so we have to
quiesce queue before switching IO scheduler and updating nr_requests.
Also when switching io schedulers, blk_mq_run_hw_queue() may still be
called somewhere(such as from nvme_reset_work()), and io scheduler's
per-hctx data may not be setup yet, so cause oops even inside
blk_mq_hctx_has_pending(), such as it can be run just between:
ret = e->ops.mq.init_sched(q, e);
AND
ret = e->ops.mq.init_hctx(hctx, i)
inside blk_mq_init_sched().
This reverts commit 7a148c2fcff8330(block: don't call blk_mq_quiesce_queue()
after queue is frozen) basically, and makes sure blk_mq_hctx_has_pending
won't be called if queue is quiesced.

There is a race between changing I/O elevator and request_queue removal
which can trigger the warning in kobject_add_internal. A program can
use sysfs to request a change of elevator at the same time another task
is unregistering the request_queue the elevator would be attached to.
The elevator's kobject will then attempt to be connected to the
request_queue in the object tree when the request_queue has just been
removed from sysfs. This triggers the warning in kobject_add_internal
as the request_queue no longer has a sysfs directory:
kobject_add_internal failed for iosched (error: -2 parent: queue)
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 14075 at lib/kobject.c:244 kobject_add_internal+0x103/0x2d0
To fix this warning, we can check the QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED flag when
changing the elevator and use the request_queue's sysfs_lock to
serialize between clearing the flag and the elevator testing the flag.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
- Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
From Paolo.
- Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.
- A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
times, solving various problems with hot removal.
- A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
device.
- A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.
- A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
more than a decade.
- Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.
- blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
marked experimental for now.
- Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
IO.
- A few fixes for opal, from Scott.
- A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.
- A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from
the blk-mq debugfs support.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also
shrinks the size of struct request a bit.
- Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph. The former was
never used by platforms, and the latter has outlived it's usefulness.
- Various little bug fixes and cleanups from a wide variety of folks.

Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.
In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.
Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

Before merging a bio into an existing request, io scheduler is called to
get its approval first. However, the requests that come from a plug
flush may get merged by block layer without consulting with io
scheduler.
In case of CFQ, this can cause fairness problems. For instance, if a
request gets merged into a low weight cgroup's request, high weight cgroup
now will depend on low weight cgroup to get scheduled. If high weigt cgroup
needs that io request to complete before submitting more requests, then it
will also lose its timeslice.
Following script demonstrates the problem. Group g1 has a low weight, g2
and g3 have equal high weights but g2's requests are adjacent to g1's
requests so they are subject to merging. Due to these merges, g2 gets
poor disk time allocation.
