Fix this by setting next_rq to NULL, for the case where it can be

<title>block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios</title>

The blk_get_request function may fail in low-memory conditions or during
device removal (even if __GFP_WAIT is set). To distinguish between these
errors, modify the blk_get_request call stack to return the appropriate
ERR_PTR. Verify that all callers check the return status and consider
IS_ERR instead of a simple NULL pointer check.

For consistency, make a similar change to the blk_mq_alloc_request leg
of blk_get_request.  It may fail if the queue is dead, or the caller was
unwilling to wait.

<content type='text'>
With the optimizations around not clearing the full request at alloc
time, we are leaving some of the needed init for REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
up to the user allocating the request.

Add a blk_rq_set_block_pc() that sets the command type to
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC, and properly initializes the members associated
with this type of request. Update callers to use this function instead
of manipulating rq-&gt;cmd_type directly.

Includes fixes from Christoph Hellwig &lt;hch@lst.de&gt; for my half-assed
attempt.

bsg currently checks -&gt;request_fn to check whether a queue can
handle struct request. But with blk-mq, we don't have a request_fn
yet are request based. Add a queue_is_rq_based() helper and use
that in bsg, I'm guessing this is not the last place we need to
update for this. Besides, it better explains what is being
checked.

<title>hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators</title>

<content type='text'>
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj-&gt;member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

* 'for-3.3/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (37 commits)
  Revert "block: recursive merge requests"
  block: Stop using macro stubs for the bio data integrity calls
  blockdev: convert some macros to static inlines
  fs: remove unneeded plug in mpage_readpages()
  block: Add BLKROTATIONAL ioctl
  block: Introduce blk_set_stacking_limits function
  block: remove WARN_ON_ONCE() in exit_io_context()
  block: an exiting task should be allowed to create io_context
  block: ioc_cgroup_changed() needs to be exported
  block: recursive merge requests
  block, cfq: fix empty queue crash caused by request merge
  block, cfq: move icq creation and rq-&gt;elv.icq association to block core
  block, cfq: restructure io_cq creation path for io_context interface cleanup
  block, cfq: move io_cq exit/release to blk-ioc.c
  block, cfq: move icq cache management to block core
  block, cfq: move io_cq lookup to blk-ioc.c
  block, cfq: move cfqd-&gt;icq_list to request_queue and add request-&gt;elv.icq
  block, cfq: reorganize cfq_io_context into generic and cfq specific parts
  block: remove elevator_queue-&gt;ops
  block: reorder elevator switch sequence
  ...

Fix up conflicts in:
 - block/blk-cgroup.c
	Switch from can_attach_task to can_attach
 - block/cfq-iosched.c
	conflict with now removed cic index changes (we now use q-&gt;id instead)

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

<title>block: misc updates to blk_get_queue()</title>

* blk_get_queue() is peculiar in that it returns 0 on success and 1 on
  failure instead of 0 / -errno or boolean.  Update it such that it
  returns %true on success and %false on failure.

* Make sure the caller checks for the return value.

* Separate out __blk_get_queue() which doesn't check whether @q is
  dead and put it in blk.h.  This will be used later.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional changes.
