<content type='text'>
We currently fail to update the front/back segment size in the bio when
deciding to allow an otherwise gappy segement to a device with a
virt boundary.  The reason why this did not cause problems is that
devices with a virt boundary fundamentally don't use segments as we
know it and thus don't care.  Make that assumption formal by forcing
an unlimited segement size in this case.

Fixes: f6970f83ef79 ("block: don't check if adjacent bvecs in one bio can be mergeable")

We have various helpers for setting/clearing this flag, and also
a helper to check if the queue supports queueable flushes or not.
But nobody uses them anymore, kill it with fire.

Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
 "This is mostly update of the usual drivers: smarpqi, lpfc, qedi,
  megaraid_sas, libsas, zfcp, mpt3sas, hisi_sas.

  Additionally, we have a pile of annotation, unused variable and minor
  updates.

  The big API change is the updates for Christoph's DMA rework which
  include removing the DISABLE_CLUSTERING flag.

  And finally there are a couple of target tree updates"

Now that the the SCSI layer replaced the use of the cluster flag with
segment size limits and the DMA boundary we can remove the cluster flag
from the block layer.

-&gt;queue_flags is generally not set or cleared in the fast path, and also
generally set or cleared one flag at a time.  Make use of the normal
atomic bitops for it so that we don't need to take the queue_lock,
which is otherwise mostly unused in the core block layer now.

the q-&gt;rq_timed_out_fn to q-&gt;bsg_job_timeout_fn.

This removes a bunch of core and elevator related code. On the core
front, we remove anything related to queue running, draining,
initialization, plugging, and congestions. We also kill anything
related to request allocation, merging, retrieval, and completion.

Remove any checking for single queue IO schedulers, as they no
longer exist. This means we can also delete a bunch of code related
to request issue, adding, completion, etc - and all the SQ related
ops and helpers.

Also kill the load_default_modules(), as all that did was provide
for a way to load the default single queue elevator.
