The queue mapping of type poll only exists when set->map[HCTX_TYPE_POLL].nr_queues
is bigger than zero, so enhance the constraint by checking .nr_queues of type poll
before enabling IO poll.
Otherwise IO race & timeout can be observed when running block/007.

There's a single user of this function, dm, and dm just wants
to check if IO is inflight, not that it's just allocated.
This fixes a hang with srp/002 in blktests with dm, where it tries
to suspend but waits for inflight IO to finish first. As it checks
for just allocated requests, this fails.

The blk-iolatency controller measures the time from rq_qos_throttle() to
rq_qos_done_bio() and attributes this time to the first bio that needs
to create the request. This means if a bio is plug-mergeable or
bio-mergeable, it gets to bypass the blk-iolatency controller.
The recent series [1], to tag all bios w/ blkgs undermined how iolatency
was determining which bios it was charging and should process in
rq_qos_done_bio(). Because all bios are being tagged, this caused the
atomic_t for the struct rq_wait inflight count to underflow and result
in a stall.
This patch adds a new flag BIO_TRACKED to let controllers know that a
bio is going through the rq_qos path. blk-iolatency now checks if this
flag is set to see if it should process the bio in rq_qos_done_bio().
Overloading BLK_QUEUE_ENTERED works, but makes the flag rules confusing.
BIO_THROTTLED was another candidate, but the flag is set for all bios
that have gone through blk-throttle code. Overloading a flag comes with
the burden of making sure that when either implementation changes, a
change in setting rules for one doesn't cause a bug in the other. So
here, we unfortunately opt for adding a new flag.

For a zoned block device using mq-deadline, if a write request for a
zone is received while another write was already dispatched for the same
zone, dd_dispatch_request() will return NULL and the newly inserted
write request is kept in the scheduler queue waiting for the ongoing
zone write to complete. With this behavior, when no other request has
been dispatched, rq_list in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests() is empty
and blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_hctx() not called. This in turn leads to
__blk_mq_free_request() call of blk_mq_sched_restart() to not run the
queue when the already dispatched write request completes. The newly
dispatched request stays stuck in the scheduler queue until eventually
another request is submitted.
This problem does not affect SCSI disk as the SCSI stack handles queue
restart on request completion. However, this problem is can be triggered
the nullblk driver with zoned mode enabled.
Fix this by always requesting a queue restart in dd_dispatch_request()
if no request was dispatched while WRITE requests are queued.

This patch adds a %NULL check to blkg_tryget_closest() to prevent the

io_ticks can be approximated by increasing the value when I/O is started

The bio_blkcg() function turns out to be inconsistent and consequently
dangerous to use. The first part returns a blkcg where a reference is
owned by the bio meaning it does not need to be rcu protected. However,
the third case, the last line, is problematic:
return css_to_blkcg(task_css(current, io_cgrp_id));
This can race against task migration and the cgroup dying. It is also
semantically different as it must be called rcu protected and is
susceptible to failure when trying to get a reference to it.
This patch adds association ahead of calling bio_blkcg() rather than
after. This makes association a required and explicit step along the
code paths for calling bio_blkcg(). In blk-iolatency, association is
moved above the bio_blkcg() call to ensure it will not return %NULL.
BFQ uses the old bio_blkcg() function, but I do not want to address it

After the direct dispatch corruption fix, we permanently disallow direct
dispatch of non read/write requests. This works fine off the normal IO
path, as they will be retried like any other failed direct dispatch
request. But for the blk_insert_cloned_request() that only DM uses to
bypass the bottom level scheduler, we always first attempt direct
dispatch. For some types of requests, that's now a permanent failure,
and no amount of retrying will make that succeed. This results in a
livelock.
Instead of making special cases for what we can direct issue, and now
having to deal with DM solving the livelock while still retaining a BUSY
condition feedback loop, always just add a request that has been through
->queue_rq() to the hardware queue dispatch list. These are safe to use
as no merging can take place there. Additionally, if requests do have
prepped data from drivers, we aren't dependent on them not sharing space
in the request structure to safely add them to the IO scheduler lists.

Since commit '2d29c9f89fcd ("block, bfq: improve asymmetric scenarios
detection")', if there are process groups with I/O requests waiting for
completion, then BFQ tags the scenario as 'asymmetric'. This detection
is needed for preserving service guarantees (for details, see comments
on the computation * of the variable asymmetric_scenario in the
function bfq_better_to_idle).
Unfortunately, commit '2d29c9f89fcd ("block, bfq: improve asymmetric
scenarios detection")' contains an error exactly in the updating of
the number of groups with I/O requests waiting for completion: if a
group has more than one descendant process, then the above number of
groups, which is renamed from num_active_groups to a more appropriate
num_groups_with_pending_reqs by this commit, may happen to be wrongly
decremented multiple times, namely every time one of the descendant
processes gets all its pending I/O requests completed.
A correct, complete solution should work as follows. Consider a group
that is inactive, i.e., that has no descendant process with pending
I/O inside BFQ queues. Then suppose that num_groups_with_pending_reqs
is still accounting for this group, because the group still has some
descendant process with some I/O request still in
flight. num_groups_with_pending_reqs should be decremented when the
in-flight request of the last descendant process is finally completed
(assuming that nothing else has changed for the group in the meantime,
in terms of composition of the group and active/inactive state of
child groups and processes). To accomplish this, an additional
pending-request counter must be added to entities, and must be
updated correctly.
To avoid this additional field and operations, this commit resorts to
the following tradeoff between simplicity and accuracy: for an
inactive group that is still counted in num_groups_with_pending_reqs,
this commit decrements num_groups_with_pending_reqs when the first
descendant process of the group remains with no request waiting for
completion.
This simplified scheme provides a fix to the unbalanced decrements
introduced by 2d29c9f89f. Since this error was also caused by lack
of comments on this non-trivial issue, this commit also adds related
comments.

If we attempt a direct issue to a SCSI device, and it returns BUSY, then
we queue the request up normally. However, the SCSI layer may have
already setup SG tables etc for this particular command. If we later
merge with this request, then the old tables are no longer valid. Once
we issue the IO, we only read/write the original part of the request,
not the new state of it.
This causes data corruption, and is most often noticed with the file
system complaining about the just read data being invalid:
[ 235.934465] EXT4-fs error (device sda1): ext4_iget:4831: inode #7142: comm dpkg-query: bad extra_isize 24937 (inode size 256)
because most of it is garbage...
This doesn't happen from the normal issue path, as we will simply defer
the request to the hardware queue dispatch list if we fail. Once it's on
the dispatch list, we never merge with it.
Fix this from the direct issue path by flagging the request as
REQ_NOMERGE so we don't change the size of it before issue.
