2017-02-17block/sed-opal: allocate struct opal_dev dynamicallyChristoph Hellwig
Insted of bloating the containing structure with it all the time this allocates struct opal_dev dynamically. Additionally this allows moving the definition of struct opal_dev into sed-opal.c. For this a new private data field is added to it that is passed to the send/receive callback. After that a lot of internals can be made private as well.

2017-02-17block: don't defer flushes on blk-mq + schedulingJens Axboe
For blk-mq with scheduling, we can potentially end up with ALL driver tags assigned and sitting on the flush queues. If we defer because of an inlfight data request, then we can deadlock if that data request doesn't already have a tag assigned. This fixes a deadlock with running the xfs/297 xfstest, where thousands of syncs can cause the drive queue to stall.

2017-02-17blk-mq-sched: ask scheduler for work, if we failed dispatching leftoversJens Axboe
Usually we don't ask the scheduler for work, if we already have leftovers on the dispatch list. This is done to leave work on the scheduler side for as long as possible, for proper merging. But if we do have work leftover but didn't dispatch anything, then we should ask the scheduler since we could potentially issue requests from that.

2017-02-15block: do not allow updates through sysfs until registration completesTahsin Erdogan
When a new disk shows up, sysfs queue directory is created before elevator is registered. This allows a user to attempt a scheduler switch even though the initial registration hasn't completed yet. In one scenario, blk_register_queue() calls elv_register_queue() and right before cfq_registered_queue() is called, another process executes elevator_switch() and replaces q->elevator with deadline scheduler. When cfq_registered_queue() executes it interprets e->elevator_data as struct cfq_data even though it is actually struct deadline_data. Grab q->sysfs_lock in blk_register_queue() to synchronize with sysfs callers. Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2017-02-03block: free merged request in the callerJens Axboe
If we end up doing a request-to-request merge when we have completed a bio-to-request merge, we free the request from deep down in that path. For blk-mq-sched, the merge path has to hold the appropriate lock, but we don't need it for freeing the request. And in fact holding the lock is problematic, since we are now calling the mq sched put_rq_private() hook with the lock held. Other call paths do not hold this lock. Fix this inconsistency by ensuring that the caller frees a merged request. Then we can do it outside of the lock, making it both more efficient and fixing the blk-mq-sched problem of invoking parts of the scheduler with an unknown lock state.

2017-02-02block: Unhash block device inodes on gendisk destructionJan Kara
Currently, block device inodes stay around after corresponding gendisk hash died until memory reclaim finds them and frees them. Since we will make block device inode pin the bdi, we want to free the block device inode as soon as the device goes away so that bdi does not stay around unnecessarily. Furthermore we need to avoid issues when new device with the same major,minor pair gets created since reusing the bdi structure would be rather difficult in this case. Unhashing block device inode on gendisk destruction nicely deals with these problems. Once last block device inode reference is dropped (which may be directly in del_gendisk()), the inode gets evicted. Furthermore if the major,minor pair gets reallocated, we are guaranteed to get new block device inode even if old block device inode is not yet evicted and thus we avoid issues with possible reuse of bdi.
