Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations. The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.
Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

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.

A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of
use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request
internals.
This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for
them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests. It
also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields
from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for
struct request.

Since commit 63a4cc2486, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should
clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing
__GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
them prevents it.

The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.
But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.
We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.
Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:
* nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
* axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
* simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
* brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
* mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
* loop_make_request
* null_queue_bio
* bcache's make_request fns
Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related

unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.
This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common

The new bio_split() can split arbitrary bios - it's not restricted to
single page bios, like the old bio_split() (previously renamed to
bio_pair_split()). It also has different semantics - it doesn't allocate
a struct bio_pair, leaving it up to the caller to handle completions.
Then convert the existing bio_pair_split() users to the new bio_split()
- and also nvme, which was open coding bio splitting.
(We have to take that BUG_ON() out of bio_integrity_trim() because this
bio_split() needs to use it, and there's no reason it has to be used on
bios marked as cloned; BIO_CLONED doesn't seem to have clearly
documented semantics anyways.)

dereference because debugfs functions return NULL on error. They return
an ERR_PTR if they are configured out.
We don't need to check for ERR_PTR because if debugfs is stubbed out the
dummy functions won't complain about that. We don't need to check the
values before calling debugfs_remove() because that accepts ERR_PTRs and
NULL pointers.
We don't need to set pkt->dfs_f_info to NULL in pkt_debugfs_dev_new()

Just a little convenience macro - main reason to add it now is preparing
for immutable bio vecs, it'll reduce the size of the patch that puts
bi_sector/bi_size/bi_idx into a struct bvec_iter.

This is prep work for killing bi_destructor - previously, pktcdvd had
its own pkt_bio_alloc which was basically duplication bio_kmalloc(),
necessitating its own bi_destructor implementation.
v5: Un-reorder some functions, to make the patch easier to review

both callers of device_get_devnode() are only interested in lower 16bits
and nobody tries to return anything wider than 16bit anyway.

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.
Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.
