Rename the block documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

Various block layer files do not have any licensing information at all.
Add SPDX tags for the default kernel GPLv2 license to those.

Aio per command iopriority support introduces a second interface between
userland and the kernel capable of passing iopriority. The aio interface also
needs the ability to verify that the submitting context has sufficient
privileges to submit IOPRIO_RT commands. This patch creates the
ioprio_check_cap function to be used by the ioprio_set system call and also by
the aio interface.

This patch suppresses gcc 7 warnings about falling through in switch
statements when building with W=1. From the gcc documentation: The
-Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 warning is enabled by -Wextra. See also

Since ioprio_best() translates IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE into IOPRIO_CLASS_BE
and since lower numerical priority values represent a higher priority
a simple numerical comparison is sufficient.

Add #include <linux/cred.h> dependencies to all .c files rely on sched.h
doing that for them.
Note that even if the count where we need to add extra headers seems high,
it's still a net win, because <linux/sched.h> is included in over
2,200 files ...

We are going to split <linux/sched/user.h> out of <linux/sched.h>, which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.
Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/user.h> file that just
maps to <linux/sched.h> to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.
Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

IOPRIO_WHO_USER case in sys_ioprio_set()/sys_ioprio_get() are using
while_each_thread(), which is unsafe under RCU lock according to commit
0c740d0afc ("introduce for_each_thread() to replace the buggy
while_each_thread()"). Use for_each_thread() (via
for_each_process_thread()) which is safe under RCU lock.

setpriority(PRIO_USER, 0, x) will change the priority of tasks outside of
the current pid namespace. This is in contrast to both the other modes of
setpriority and the example of kill(-1). Fix this. getpriority and
ioprio have the same failure mode, fix them too.

Priority of a merged request is computed by ioprio_best(). If one of the
requests has undefined priority (IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE) and another request
has priority from IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, the function will return the
undefined priority which is wrong. Fix the function to properly return
priority of a request with the defined priority.
