Since 412445ac ("dm: introduce a new DM_MAPIO_KILL return value"), the
clone_and_map_rq methods must not return errno values, so fix it up
to properly return DM_MAPIO_KILL, instead of the -EIO value that snuck
in due to a conflict between two patches.

or not to push back a request (or bio) if there are no paths available,
only clear MPATHF_QUEUE_IF_NO_PATH in queue_if_no_path() if no_flush has

If blk_get_request() fails, check whether the failure is due to a path
being removed. If that is the case, fail the path by triggering a call
to fail_path(). This avoids that the following scenario can be
encountered while removing paths:
* CPU usage of a kworker thread jumps to 100%.
* Removing the DM device becomes impossible.
Delay requeueing if blk_get_request() returns -EBUSY or -EWOULDBLOCK,
and the queue is not dying, because in these cases immediate requeuing
is inappropriate.

If blk_get_request() returns ENODEV then multipath_clone_and_map()

__blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and also can cause device removal to never

DM already calls blk_mq_alloc_request on the request_queue of the

to allocate additional data and initialize it ahead of time we need to do
the same for all drivers. Doing so and using the new cmd_size
infrastructure in the block layer greatly simplifies the dm-rq and mpath
code, and should also make arbitrary combinations of SQ and MQ devices

If dm-mpath encounters an reservation conflict it should not fail the
path (as communication with the target is not affected) but should
rather retry on another path. However, in doing so we might be inducing
a ping-pong between paths, with no guarantee of any forward progress.
And arguably a reservation conflict is an unexpected error, so we should
be passing it upwards to allow the application to take appropriate
steps.
This change resolves a show-stopper problem seen with the pNFS SCSI
layout because it is trivial to hit reservation conflict based failover
loops without it.
Doubts were raised about the implications of this change relative to
products like IBM's SVC. But there is little point withholding a fix
for Linux because a proprietary product may or may not have some issues
in its implementation of how it interfaces with Linux. In the future,
if there is glaring evidence that this change is certainly problematic
we can revisit it.

Allow a user to specify an optional feature 'queue_mode <mode>' where
<mode> may be "bio", "rq" or "mq" -- which corresponds to bio-based,
request_fn rq-based, and blk-mq rq-based respectively.
If the queue_mode feature isn't specified the default for the
"multipath" target is still "rq" but if dm_mod.use_blk_mq is set to Y
it'll default to mode "mq".
This new queue_mode feature introduces the ability for each multipath
device to have its own queue_mode (whereas before this feature all
multipath devices effectively had to have the same queue_mode).
This commit also goes a long way to eliminate the awkward (ab)use of
DM_TYPE_*, the associated filter_md_type() and other relatively fragile
and difficult to maintain code.

Add "multipath-bio" target that offers a bio-based multipath target as
an alternative to the request-based "multipath" target -- but in a
following commit "multipath-bio" will immediately be replaced by a new
"queue_mode" feature for the "multipath" target which will allow
bio-based mode to be selected.
When DM multipath was originally converted from bio-based to
request-based the motivation for the change was better dynamic load
balancing (by leveraging block core's request-based IO schedulers, for
merging and sorting, _before_ DM multipath would make the decision on
where to steer the IO -- based on path load and/or availability).
More background is available in this "Request-based Device-mapper
multipath and Dynamic load balancing" paper:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/ols/2007/ols2007v2-pages-235-244.pdf
But we've now come full circle where significantly faster storage
devices no longer need IOs to be made larger to drive optimal IO
performance. And even if they do there have been changes to the block
and filesystem layers that help ensure upper layers are constructing
larger IOs. In addition, SCSI's differentiated IO errors will propagate
through to bio-based IO completion hooks -- so that eliminates another
historic justiciation for request-based DM multipath. Lastly, the block
layer's immutable biovec changes have made bio cloning cheaper than it
has ever been; whereas request cloning is still relatively expensive
(both on a CPU usage and memory footprint level).
As such, bio-based DM multipath offers the promise of a more efficient
IO path for high IOPs devices that are, or will be, emerging.

The primary motivation of this commit is to improve the scalability of
DM multipath on large NUMA systems where m->lock spinlock contention has
been proven to be a serious bottleneck on really fast storage.
The ability to atomically read a pointer, using lockless_dereference(),
is leveraged in this commit. But all pointer writes are still protected
by the m->lock spinlock (which is fine since these all now occur in the
slow-path).
The following functions no longer require the m->lock spinlock in their
fast-path: multipath_busy(), __multipath_map(), and do_end_io()
And choose_pgpath() is modified to _not_ update m->current_pgpath unless
it also switches the path-group. This is done to avoid needing to take
the m->lock everytime __multipath_map() calls choose_pgpath().
But m->current_pgpath will be reset if it is failed via fail_path().
