Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path
bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways.
* bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then
ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs.
* bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity
data.
This patch fixes the above problems. kmalloc patch is separated out
from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as
inline bvecs.
* bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs. None other than
bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was
allocated anyway.
* Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in
bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets
there.
* Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how
they're used is more clear.
Jens Axboe suggested allocating bvecs inline.

By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the
previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only
sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes
being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those.
Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync
request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically
for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this
flag.

When we go and allocate a bio for IO, we actually do two allocations.
One for the bio itself, and one for the bi_io_vec that holds the
actual pages we are interested in.
This feature inlines a definable amount of io vecs inside the bio
itself, so we eliminate the bio_vec array allocation for IO's up
to a certain size. It defaults to 4 vecs, which is typically 16k
of IO.

Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one
in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs
in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes.
This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may
want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation
more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio.
Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end
of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now
possible.

We only very rarely need the mempool backing, so it makes sense to
get rid of all but one of the mempool in a bio_set. So keep the
largest bio_vec count mempool so we can always honor the largest

Allow the scsi request REQ_QUIET flag to be propagated to the buffer
file system layer. The basic ideas is to pass the flag from the scsi
request to the bio (block IO) and then to the buffer layer. The buffer
layer can then suppress needless printks.
This patch declutters the kernel log by removed the 40-50 (per lun)
buffer io error messages seen during a boot in my multipath setup . It
is a good chance any real errors will be missed in the "noise" it the
logs without this patch.
During boot I see blocks of messages like
"
__ratelimit: 211 callbacks suppressed
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242847

Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242872
"
in my logs.
My disk environment is multipath fiber channel using the SCSI_DH_RDAC
code and multipathd. This topology includes an "active" and "ghost"
path for each lun. IO's to the "ghost" path will never complete and the
SCSI layer, via the scsi device handler rdac code, quick returns the IOs
to theses paths and sets the REQ_QUIET scsi flag to suppress the scsi
layer messages.
I am wanting to extend the QUIET behavior to include the buffer file
system layer to deal with these errors as well. I have been running this
patch for a while now on several boxes without issue. A few runs of
bonnie++ show no noticeable difference in performance in my setup.
Thanks for John Stultz for the quiet_error finalization.

This fixes the bug reported by Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de>:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/2/203
The root cause of the bug is that blk_phys_contig_segment
miscalculates q->max_segment_size.
blk_phys_contig_segment checks:
req->biotail->bi_size + next_req->bio->bi_size > q->max_segment_size
But blk_recalc_rq_segments might expect that req->biotail and the
previous bio in the req are supposed be merged into one
segment. blk_recalc_rq_segments might also expect that next_req->bio
and the next bio in the next_req are supposed be merged into one
segment. In such case, we merge two requests that can't be merged
here. Later, blk_rq_map_sg gives more segments than it should.
We need to keep track of segment size in blk_recalc_rq_segments and
use it to see if two requests can be merged. This patch implements it
in the similar way that we used to do for hw merging (virtual
merging).

Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
access the same device but from a different path.
This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
to fast fail on all errors.
Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
scsi.

This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
(bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
for completion on that specific CPU.
In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.
This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only
work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp
helper infrastructure.

Some block devices benefit from a hint that they can forget the contents
of certain sectors. Add basic support for this to the block core, along
with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such
requests.
The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since
blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into
multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for
completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even
_if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By
definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.
