The existing driver initially maps 8192 bytes of BAR0 which is
intended to cover doorbells of admin SQ and CQ. However, if a
large stride, e.g. 10, is used, the doorbell of admin CQ will
be out of 8192 bytes. Consequently, a page fault will be raised
when the admin CQ doorbell is accessed in nvme_configure_admin_queue().
This patch fixes this issue by remapping BAR0 before accessing
admin CQ doorbell if the initial mapping is not enough.

This change provides a mechanism to reduce the number of MMIO doorbell
writes for the NVMe driver. When running in a virtualized environment
like QEMU, the cost of an MMIO is quite hefy here. The main idea for
the patch is provide the device two memory location locations:
1) to store the doorbell values so they can be lookup without the doorbell
MMIO write
2) to store an event index.
I believe the doorbell value is obvious, the event index not so much.
Similar to the virtio specification, the virtual device can tell the
driver (guest OS) not to write MMIO unless you are writing past this
value.
FYI: doorbell values are written by the nvme driver (guest OS) and the
event index is written by the virtual device (host OS).
The patch implements a new admin command that will communicate where
these two memory locations reside. If the command fails, the nvme
driver will work as before without any optimizations.

NVMe devices can advertise multiple power states. These states can
be either "operational" (the device is fully functional but possibly
slow) or "non-operational" (the device is asleep until woken up).
Some devices can automatically enter a non-operational state when
idle for a specified amount of time and then automatically wake back
up when needed.
The hardware configuration is a table. For each state, an entry in
the table indicates the next deeper non-operational state, if any,
to autonomously transition to and the idle time required before
transitioning.
This patch teaches the driver to program APST so that each successive
non-operational state will be entered after an idle time equal to 100%
of the total latency (entry plus exit) associated with that state.
The maximum acceptable latency is controlled using dev_pm_qos
(e.g. power/pm_qos_latency_tolerance_us in sysfs); non-operational
states with total latency greater than this value will not be used.
As a special case, setting the latency tolerance to 0 will disable
APST entirely. On hardware without APST support, the sysfs file will
not be exposed.
The latency tolerance for newly-probed devices is set by the module
parameter nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us.
In theory, the device can expose "default" APST table, but this
doesn't seem to function correctly on my device (Samsung 950), nor
does it seem particularly useful. There is also an optional
mechanism by which a configuration can be "saved" so it will be
automatically loaded on reset. This can be configured from
userspace, but it doesn't seem useful to support in the driver.
On my laptop, enabling APST seems to save nearly 1W.
The hardware tables can be decoded in userspace with nvme-cli.
'nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvmeN' will show the power state table and
'nvme get-feature -f 0x0c -H /dev/nvme0' will show the current APST
configuration.
This feature is quirked off on a known-buggy Samsung device.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous

always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.
The major parts of this pull request is:
- Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
private implementation instead of using the pig that is
fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.
- Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the

- Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode

- Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.
- Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes

- Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.
- Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between

This adds a shared per-request structure for all NVMe I/O. This structure
is embedded as the first member in all NVMe transport drivers request
private data and allows to implement common functionality between the
drivers.
The first use is to replace the current abuse of the SCSI command
passthrough fields in struct request for the NVMe command passthrough,
but it will grow a field more fields to allow implementing things
like common abort handlers in the future.
The passthrough commands are handled by having a pointer to the SQE
(struct nvme_command) in struct nvme_request, and the union of the
possible result fields, which had to be turned from an anonymous
into a named union for that purpose. This avoids having to pass
a reference to a full CQE around and thus makes checking the result
a lot more lightweight.

The original translation created collisions on Inquiry VPD 83 for many
existing devices. Newer specifications provide other ways to translate
based on the device's version can be used to create unique identifiers.
Version 1.1 provides an EUI64 field that uniquely identifies each
namespace, and 1.2 added the longer NGUID field for the same reason.
Both follow the IEEE EUI format and readily translate to the SCSI device
identification EUI designator type 2h. For devices implementing either,
the translation will use this type, defaulting to the EUI64 8-byte type if
implemented then NGUID's 16 byte version if not. If neither are provided,
the 1.0 translation is used, and is updated to use the SCSI String format
to guarantee a unique identifier.
Knowing when to use the new fields depends on the nvme controller's
revision. The NVME_VS macro was not decoding this correctly, so that is
fixed in this patch and moved to a more appropriate place.
Since the Identify Namespace structure required an update for the NGUID
field, this patch adds the remaining new 1.2 fields to the structure.

Adds support for NVMe metadata formats and exposes block devices for
all namespaces regardless of their format. Namespace formats that are
unusable will have disk capacity set to 0, but a handle to the block
device is created to simplify device management. A namespace is not
usable when the format requires host interleave block and metadata in
single buffer, has no provisioned storage, or has better data but failed
to register with blk integrity.
The namespace has to be scanned in two phases to support separate
metadata formats. The first establishes the sector size and capacity
prior to invoking add_disk. If metadata is required, the capacity will
be temporarilly set to 0 until it can be revalidated and registered with
the integrity extenstions after add_disk completes.
The driver relies on the integrity extensions to provide the metadata
buffer. NVMe requires this be a single physically contiguous region,
so only one integrity segment is allowed per command. If the metadata
is used for T10 PI, the driver provides mappings to save and restore
the reftag physical block translation. The driver provides no-op
functions for generate and verify if metadata is not used for protection
information. This way the setup is always provided by the block layer.
If a request does not supply a required metadata buffer, the command
is failed with bad address. This could only happen if a user manually
disables verify/generate on such a disk. The only exception to where
this is okay is if the controller is capable of stripping/generating
the metadata, which is possible on some types of formats.
The metadata scatter gather list now occupies the spot in the nvme_iod
that used to be used to link retryable IOD's, but we don't do that
anymore, so the field was unused.
