Some drivers often use external bvec table, so introduce
this helper for this case. It is always safe to access the
bio->bi_io_vec in this way for this case.
After converting to this usage, it will becomes a bit easier
to evaluate the remaining direct access to bio->bi_io_vec,
so it can help to prepare for the following multipage bvec
support.

This patch enables a hybrid polling mode. Instead of polling after IO
submission, we can induce an artificial delay, and then poll after that.
For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, we
can sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then do our polling. This still puts
a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening
after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid
scheme, we can achieve big latency reductions while still using the same
(or less) amount of CPU.

Normally, sd_read_capacity sets sdp->use_16_for_rw to 1 based on the
disk capacity so that READ16/WRITE16 are used for large drives.
However, for a zoned disk with RC_BASIS set to 0, the capacity reported
through READ_CAPACITY may be very small, leading to use_16_for_rw not being
set and READ10/WRITE10 commands being used, even after the actual zoned disk
capacity is corrected in sd_zbc_read_zones. This causes LBA offset overflow for
accesses beyond 2TB.
As the ZBC standard makes it mandatory for ZBC drives to support

Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot
more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity.
Background writeback should be, by definition, background
activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time
means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads,
which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that
we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence
of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback,
unless someone is waiting for it.
The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the
CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors
the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that
window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a
given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth
is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike
CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we
simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that
scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a
close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the
windows where we get good behavior.
Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This
happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive
scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window.
When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's
stable state of a zero scale count.
The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency
target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and
75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables
blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting.
We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have
a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup
on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with
that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will
rely on CFQ doing that for us.

We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered
writes.
wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is
happening in the system:
wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318
wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1,
wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57
wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32
This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat
dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a
step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the
device, 259:0 in this case.

For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For
blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then
sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device
state.
The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows.
Add sysfs files to display the stats.
The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel
users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue
flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of
the stats files, that is something we could add as well.

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

Hi Peter, hi Jens,
I've been looking over the multi page bio vec work again recently, and
one of the stumbling blocks is raw biovec access in the pktcdvd.
The first issue is that it directly sets up the page and offset pointers
in the biovec just before calling bio_add_page. As bio_add_page already
does the setup it's trivial to just switch it to stack variables for the
arguments.
The second issue is the copy code in pkt_make_local_copy, which
effectively is an opencoded version of bio_copy_data except that it
skips pages that already are the same in the ѕource and destination.
But we look at the only calleer we just set up the bio using bio_add_page
to point exactly to the page array that pkt_make_local_copy compares,
so the pages will always be the same and we can just remove this function.
Note that all this is done based on code inspection, I don't have any
packet writing hardware myself.

Commit 0e87e58bf6 ("blk-mq: improve warning for running a queue on the

last batch execution before round robin, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu can
schedule a dead CPU and also update next_cpu to the next alive CPU in
the mask, which will trigger the WARN_ON despite the previous
workaround.
The following patch fixes this scenario by always scheduling the value
in hctx->next_cpu. This changes the moment when we round-robin the CPU
running the hctx, but it really doesn't matter, since it still executes
BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH times in a row before switching to another CPU.

In practice, this improves 10% throughput for my raid5 sequential write

contention is small. This probably could be more intelligent, eg, check
