The Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page (for SCSI) and data log page
(for ATA) contain parameters describing the set of contiguous LBAs that
can be served independently by a single LUN multi-actuator hard-disk.
Similarly, a logically defined block device composed of multiple disks
can in some cases execute requests directed at different sector ranges
in parallel. A dm-linear device aggregating 2 block devices together is
an example.
This patch implements support for exposing a block device independent
access ranges to the user through sysfs to allow optimizing device
accesses to increase performance.
To describe the set of independent sector ranges of a device (actuators
of a multi-actuator HDDs or table entries of a dm-linear device),
The type struct blk_independent_access_ranges is introduced. This
structure describes the sector ranges using an array of
struct blk_independent_access_range structures. This range structure
defines the start sector and number of sectors of the access range.
The ranges in the array cannot overlap and must contain all sectors
within the device capacity.
The function disk_set_independent_access_ranges() allows a device
driver to signal to the block layer that a device has multiple
independent access ranges. In this case, a struct
blk_independent_access_ranges is attached to the device request queue
by the function disk_set_independent_access_ranges(). The function
disk_alloc_independent_access_ranges() is provided for drivers to
allocate this structure.
struct blk_independent_access_ranges contains kobjects (struct kobject)
to expose to the user through sysfs the set of independent access ranges
supported by a device. When the device is initialized, sysfs
registration of the ranges information is done from blk_register_queue()
using the block layer internal function
disk_register_independent_access_ranges(). If a driver calls
disk_set_independent_access_ranges() for a registered queue, e.g. when a
device is revalidated, disk_set_independent_access_ranges() will execute
disk_register_independent_access_ranges() to update the sysfs attribute
files. The sysfs file structure created starts from the
independent_access_ranges sub-directory and contains the start sector
and number of sectors of each range, with the information for each range
grouped in numbered sub-directories.
E.g. for a dual actuator HDD, the user sees:
$ tree /sys/block/sdk/queue/independent_access_ranges/
/sys/block/sdk/queue/independent_access_ranges/
|-- 0
| |-- nr_sectors
| `-- sector
`-- 1
|-- nr_sectors
`-- sector
For a regular device with a single access range, the
independent_access_ranges sysfs directory does not exist.
Device revalidation may lead to changes to this structure and to the
attribute values. When manipulated, the queue sysfs_lock and
sysfs_dir_lock mutexes are held for atomicity, similarly to how the
blk-mq and elevator sysfs queue sub-directories are protected.
The code related to the management of independent access ranges is
added in the new file block/blk-ia-ranges.c.

Add a method to query unique IDs from block devices. It will be used to
remove code that deeply pokes into SCSI internals in the NFS server.
The implementation in the sd driver itself is also much nicer as it can
use the cached VPD page instead of always sending a command as the
current NFS code does.
For now the interface is kept very minimal but could be easily
extended when other users like a block-layer sysfs interface for
uniquue IDs shows up.

blk_keyslot_manager is misnamed because it doesn't necessarily manage
keyslots. It actually does several different things:
- Contains the crypto capabilities of the device.
- Provides functions to control the inline encryption hardware.
Originally these were just for programming/evicting keyslots;
however, new functionality (hardware-wrapped keys) will require new
functions here which are unrelated to keyslots. Moreover,
device-mapper devices already (ab)use "keyslot_evict" to pass key
eviction requests to their underlying devices even though
device-mapper devices don't have any keyslots themselves (so it
really should be "evict_key", not "keyslot_evict").
- Sometimes (but not always!) it manages keyslots. Originally it
always did, but device-mapper devices don't have keyslots
themselves, so they use a "passthrough keyslot manager" which
doesn't actually manage keyslots. This hack works, but the
terminology is unnatural. Also, some hardware doesn't have keyslots
and thus also uses a "passthrough keyslot manager" (support for such
hardware is yet to be upstreamed, but it will happen eventually).
Let's stop having keyslot managers which don't actually manage keyslots.
Instead, rename blk_keyslot_manager to blk_crypto_profile.
This is a fairly big change, since for consistency it also has to update
keyslot manager-related function names, variable names, and comments --
not just the actual struct name. However it's still a fairly
straightforward change, as it doesn't change any actual functionality.

If we have just one queue type in the plug list, then we can extend our

Use a singly linked list for the blk_plug. This saves 8 bytes in the
blk_plug struct, and makes for faster list manipulations than doubly
linked lists. As we don't use the doubly linked lists for anything,
singly linked is just fine.
This yields a bump in default (merging enabled) performance from 7.0
to 7.1M IOPS, and ~7.5M IOPS with merging disabled.

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.
Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:
- the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
- the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
- keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
- a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
be removed entirely.

The caller typically has a good (or even exact) idea of how many requests
it needs to submit. We can make the request/tag allocation a lot more
efficient if we just allocate N requests/tags upfront when we queue the
first bio from the batch.
Provide a new plug start helper that allows the caller to specify how many
IOs are expected. This sets plug->nr_ios, and we can use that for smarter
request allocation. The plug provides a holding spot for requests, and
request allocation will check it before calling into the normal request
allocation path.
The blk_finish_plug() is called, check if there are unused requests and
free them. This should not happen in normal operations. The exception is
if we get merging, then we may be left with requests that need freeing
when done.
This raises the per-core performance on my setup from ~5.8M to ~6.1M
IOPS.

Particularly for NVMe with efficient deferred submission for many
requests, there are nice benefits to be seen by bumping the default max
plug count from 16 to 32. This is especially true for virtualized setups,
where the submit part is more expensive. But can be noticed even on
native hardware.
Reduce the multiple queue factor from 4 to 2, since we're changing the
default size.
While changing it, move the defines into the block layer private header.
These aren't values that anyone outside of the block layer uses, or
should use.

Currently we use separate sbitmap pairs and active_queues atomic_t for
shared sbitmap support.
However a full sets of static requests are used per HW queue, which is
quite wasteful, considering that the total number of requests usable at
any given time across all HW queues is limited by the shared sbitmap depth.
As such, it is considerably more memory efficient in the case of shared
sbitmap to allocate a set of static rqs per tag set or request queue, and
not per HW queue.
So replace the sbitmap pairs and active_queues atomic_t with a shared
tags per tagset and request queue, which will hold a set of shared static
rqs.
Since there is now no valid HW queue index to be passed to the blk_mq_ops
.init and .exit_request callbacks, pass an invalid index token. This
changes the semantics of the APIs, such that the callback would need to
validate the HW queue index before using it. Currently no user of shared
sbitmap actually uses the HW queue index (as would be expected).

"This series consists of the usual driver updates (ufs, qla2xxx,
target, smartpqi, lpfc, mpt3sas).
The core change causing the most churn was replacing the command
request field request with a macro, allowing us to offset map to it
and remove the redundant field; the same was also done for the tag
field.
The most impactful change is the final removal of scsi_ioctl, which
has been deprecated for over a decade"

When merging one bio to request, if they are discard IO and the queue
supports multi-range discard, we need to return ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE
because both block core and related drivers(nvme, virtio-blk) doesn't
handle mixed discard io merge(traditional IO merge together with
discard merge) well.
Fix the issue by returning ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE in this situation,
so both blk-mq and drivers just need to handle multi-range discard.
