This helper doesn't buy us much over calling kmap_atomic directly.

The idea behind it is simple:
1) for none scheduler, driver tag has to be borrowed for flush rq,
otherwise we may run out of tag, and that causes an IO hang. And
get/put driver tag is actually noop for none, so reordering tags
isn't necessary at all.
2) for a real I/O scheduler, we need not allocate a driver tag upfront
for flush rq. It works just fine to follow the same approach as
normal requests: allocate driver tag for each rq just before calling
->queue_rq().
One driver visible change is that the driver tag isn't shared in the
flush request sequence. That won't be a problem, since we always do that
in legacy path.
Then flush rq need not be treated specially wrt. get/put driver tag.
This cleans up the code - for instance, reorder_tags_to_front() can be
removed, and we needn't worry about request ordering in dispatch list
for avoiding I/O deadlock.
Also we have to put the driver tag before requeueing.

In case of IO scheduler we always pre-allocate one driver tag before
calling blk_insert_flush(), and flush request will be marked as
RQF_FLUSH_SEQ once it is in flush machinery.
So if RQF_FLUSH_SEQ isn't set, we call blk_insert_flush() to handle
the request, otherwise the flush request is dispatched to ->dispatch
list directly.
This is a preparation patch for not preallocating a driver tag for flush
requests, and for not treating flush requests as a special case. This is
similar to what the legacy path does.

In the following patch, we will use RQF_FLUSH_SEQ to decide:

2) otherwise, the flush rq need to be dispatched directly since
it is in flush machinery now.
So we use blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() for requests of bypassing
flush machinery, just like the legacy path did.

It is enough to just check if we can get the budget via .get_budget().
And we don't need to deal with device state change in .get_budget().
For SCSI, one issue to be fixed is that we have to call
scsi_mq_uninit_cmd() to free allocated ressources if SCSI device fails
to handle the request. And it isn't enough to simply call
blk_mq_end_request() to do that if this request is marked as
RQF_DONTPREP.

Now restart is used in the following cases, and TAG_SHARED is for
SCSI only.
1) .get_budget() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if resource in target/host level isn't satisfied, this SCSI device
will be added in shost->starved_list, and the whole queue will be rerun
(via SCSI's built-in RESTART) in scsi_end_request() after any request
initiated from this host/targe is completed. Forget to mention, host level
resource can't be an issue for blk-mq at all.
- the same is true if resource in the queue level isn't satisfied.
- if there isn't outstanding request on this queue, then SCSI's RESTART
can't work(blk-mq's can't work too), and the queue will be run after
SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY, and finally all starved sdevs will be handled by SCSI's
RESTART when this request is finished
2) scsi_dispatch_cmd() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE
- if there isn't onprogressing request on this queue, the queue
will be run after SCSI_QUEUE_DELAY
- otherwise, SCSI's RESTART covers the rerun.
3) blk_mq_get_driver_tag() failed
- BLK_MQ_S_TAG_WAITING covers the cross-queue RESTART for driver
allocation.
In one word, SCSI's built-in RESTART is enough to cover the queue
rerun, and we don't need to pay special attention to TAG_SHARED wrt. restart.
In my test on scsi_debug(8 luns), this patch improves IOPS by 20% ~ 30% when
running I/O on these 8 luns concurrently.
Aslo Roman Pen reported the current RESTART is very expensive especialy
when there are lots of LUNs attached in one host, such as in his
test, RESTART causes half of IOPS be cut.

SCSI devices use host-wide tagset, and the shared driver tag space is
often quite big. However, there is also a queue depth for each lun(
.cmd_per_lun), which is often small, for example, on both lpfc and
qla2xxx, .cmd_per_lun is just 3.
So lots of requests may stay in sw queue, and we always flush all
belonging to same hw queue and dispatch them all to driver.
Unfortunately it is easy to cause queue busy because of the small
.cmd_per_lun. Once these requests are flushed out, they have to stay in
hctx->dispatch, and no bio merge can happen on these requests, and
sequential IO performance is harmed.
This patch introduces blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx for dequeuing a request
from a sw queue, so that we can dispatch them in scheduler's way. We can
then avoid dequeueing too many requests from sw queue, since we don't
flush ->dispatch completely.
This patch improves dispatching from sw queue by using the .get_budget
and .put_budget callbacks.

For SCSI devices, there is often a per-request-queue depth, which needs
to be respected before queuing one request.
Currently blk-mq always dequeues the request first, then calls
.queue_rq() to dispatch the request to lld. One obvious issue with this
approach is that I/O merging may not be successful, because when the
per-request-queue depth can't be respected, .queue_rq() has to return
BLK_STS_RESOURCE, and then this request has to stay in hctx->dispatch
list. This means it never gets a chance to be merged with other IO.
This patch introduces .get_budget and .put_budget callback in blk_mq_ops,
then we can try to get reserved budget first before dequeuing request.
If the budget for queueing I/O can't be satisfied, we don't need to
dequeue request at all. Hence the request can be left in the IO
scheduler queue, for more merging opportunities.

sd_config_write_same() ignores ->max_ws_blocks == 0 and resets it to
permit trying WRITE SAME on older SCSI devices, unless ->no_write_same
is set. Because REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES is implemented in terms of WRITE
SAME, blkdev_issue_zeroout() may fail with -EREMOTEIO:
$ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg
fallocate: fallocate failed: Remote I/O error
$ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK
$ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK
The following calls succeed because sd_done() sets ->no_write_same in
response to a sense that would become BLK_STS_TARGET/-EREMOTEIO, causing
__blkdev_issue_zeroout() to fall back to generating ZERO_PAGE bios.
This means blkdev_issue_zeroout() must cope with WRITE ZEROES failing
and fall back to manually zeroing, unless BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK is
specified. For BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK case, return -EOPNOTSUPP if
sd_done() has just set ->no_write_same thus indicating lack of offload
support.

When we're getting a domain token, if we fail to get a token on our
first attempt, we put the current hardware queue on a wait queue and
then try again just in case a token was freed after our initial attempt
but before we got on the wait queue. If this second attempt succeeds, we
currently leave the hardware queue on the wait queue. Usually this is
okay; we'll just run the hardware queue one extra time when another
token is freed. However, if the hardware queue doesn't have any other
requests waiting, then when it it gets the extra wakeup, it won't have
anything to free and therefore won't wake up any other hardware queues.
If tokens are limited, then we won't make forward progress and the

Writeback kworker submit the bio and set bio->bi_cg_private to tg

Then we remove the block cgroup manually, the blkg and tg would be

When the submitted bio come back, blk_throtl_bio_endio() fetch the tg
which was already freed.

The commit "block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues in burst
exit" introduced the decrement of burst_size on the removal of a
bfq_queue from the burst list. Unfortunately, this decrement can
happen to be performed even when burst size is already equal to 0,
because of unbalanced decrements. A description follows of the cause
of these unbalanced decrements, namely a wrong assumption, and of the
way how this wrong assumption leads to unbalanced decrements.
The wrong assumption is that a bfq_queue can exit only if the process
associated with the bfq_queue has exited. This is false, because a
bfq_queue, say Q, may exit also as a consequence of a merge with
another bfq_queue. In this case, Q exits because the I/O of its
associated process has been redirected to another bfq_queue.
The decrement unbalance occurs because Q may then be re-created after
a split, and added back to the current burst list, *without*
incrementing burst_size. burst_size is not incremented because Q is
not a new bfq_queue added to the burst list, but a bfq_queue only
temporarily removed from the list, and, before the commit "bfq-sq,
bfq-mq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exit", burst_size was
not decremented when Q was removed.
This commit addresses this issue by just checking whether the exiting
bfq_queue is a merged bfq_queue, and, in that case, not decrementing
burst_size. Unfortunately, this still leaves room for unbalanced
decrements, in the following rarer case: on a split, the bfq_queue
happens to be inserted into a different burst list than that it was
removed from when merged. If this happens, the number of elements in
the new burst list becomes higher than burst_size (by one). When the
bfq_queue then exits, it is of course not in a merged state any
longer, thus burst_size is decremented, which results in an unbalanced
decrement. To handle this sporadic, unlucky case in a simple way,
this commit also checks that burst_size is larger than 0 before
decrementing it.
Finally, this commit removes an useless, extra check: the check that
the bfq_queue is sync, performed before checking whether the bfq_queue
is in the burst list. This extra check is redundant, because only sync
bfq_queues can be inserted into the burst list.
Fixes: 7cb04004fa37 ("block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exit")

Similarly to CFQ, BFQ has its write-throttling heuristics, and it
is better not to combine them with further write-throttling
heuristics of a different nature.
So this commit disables write-back throttling for a device if BFQ
is used as I/O scheduler for that device.

mempool_destroy() already checks for a NULL value being passed in, this
eliminates duplicate checks.
This was caught by running make coccicheck M=block/ on linus' tree on
commit 77ede3a014a32746002f7889211f0cecf4803163 (current head as of this
patch).
