[ Upstream commit cbeb869a3d1110450186b738199963c5e68c2a71 ]

BFQ schedules entities (which represent either per-process queues or
groups of queues) as a function of their timestamps. In particular, as
a function of their (virtual) finish times. The finish time of an
entity is computed as a function of the budget assigned to the entity,
assuming, tentatively, that the entity, once in service, will receive
an amount of service equal to its budget. Then, when the entity is
expired because it finishes to be served, this finish time is updated
as a function of the actual service received by the entity. This
allows the entity to be correctly charged with only the service
received, and then to be correctly re-scheduled.

Yet an entity may receive service also while not being the entity in
service (in the scheduling environment of its parent entity), for
several reasons. If the entity remains with no backlog while receiving
this 'unofficial' service, then it is expired. Also on such an
expiration, the finish time of the entity should be updated to account
for only the service actually received by the entity. Unfortunately,
such an update is not performed for an entity expiring without being
the entity in service.

In a similar vein, the service counter of the entity in service is
reset when the entity is expired, to be ready to be used for next
service cycle. This reset too should be performed also in case an
entity is expired because it remains empty after receiving service
while not being the entity in service. But in this case the reset is
not performed.

This commit performs the above update of the finish time and reset of
the service received, also for an entity expiring while not being the
entity in service.

Obviously the created writesame bio has to be aligned with logical block
size, and use bio_allowed_max_sectors() to retrieve this number.

commit 52990a5fb0c991ecafebdab43138b5ed41376852 upstream.

We're only setting up the bounce bio sets if we happen
to need bouncing for regular HIGHMEM, not if we only need
it for ISA devices.

Protect the ISA bounce setup with a mutex, since it's
being invoked from driver init functions and can thus be
called in parallel.

blk_queue_split() does respect this limit via bio splitting, so no
need to do that in blkdev_issue_discard(), then we can align to
normal bio submit(bio_add_page() &amp; submit_bio()).

More importantly, this patch fixes one issue introduced in a22c4d7e34402cc
("block: re-add discard_granularity and alignment checks"), in which
zero discard bio may be generated in case of zero alignment.

Tetsuo brought to my attention that I screwed up the scale_up/scale_down
helpers when I factored out the rq-qos code.  We need to wake up all the
waiters when we add slots for requests to make, not when we shrink the
slots.  Otherwise we'll end up things waiting forever.  This was a
mistake and simply puts everything back the way it was.

trace_block_unplug() takes true for explicit unplugs and false for

When the deadline scheduler is used with a zoned block device, writes
to a zone will be dispatched one at a time. This causes the warning
message:

deadline: forced dispatching is broken (nr_sorted=X), please report this

to be displayed when switching to another elevator with the legacy I/O
path while write requests to a zone are being retained in the scheduler
queue.

Prevent this message from being displayed when executing
elv_drain_elevator() for a zoned block device. __blk_drain_queue() will
loop until all writes are dispatched and completed, resulting in the
desired elevator queue drain without extensive modifications to the
deadline code itself to handle forced-dispatch calls.

A recent commit runs tag iterator callbacks under the rcu read lock,
but existing callbacks do not satisfy the non-blocking requirement.
The commit intended to prevent an iterator from accessing a queue that's
being modified. This patch fixes the original issue by taking a queue
reference instead of reading it, which allows callbacks to make blocking
calls.

Klaus Kusche reported that the I/O busy time in /proc/diskstats was not
updating properly on 4.18. This is because we started using ktime to
track elapsed time, and we convert nanoseconds to jiffies when we update
the partition counter. However, this gets rounded down, so any I/Os that
take less than a jiffy are not accounted for. Previously in this case,
the value of jiffies would sometimes increment while we were doing I/O,
so at least some I/Os were accounted for.

Let's convert the stats to use nanoseconds internally. We still report
milliseconds as before, now more accurately than ever. The value is
still truncated to 32 bits for backwards compatibility.
