[ Upstream commit 388c705b95f23f317fa43e6abf9ff07b583b721a ]

This reverts commit 6d4d273588378c65915acaf7b2ee74e9dd9c130a.

bfq.limit_depth passes word_depths[] as shallow_depth down to sbitmap core
sbitmap_get_shallow, which uses just the number to limit the scan depth of
each bitmap word, formula:
scan_percentage_for_each_word = shallow_depth / (1 &lt;&lt; sbimap-&gt;shift) * 100%

That means the comments's percentiles 50%, 75%, 18%, 37% of bfq are correct.
But after commit patch 'bfq: Fix computation of shallow depth', we use
sbitmap.depth instead, as a example in following case:

sbitmap.depth = 256, map_nr = 4, shift = 6; sbitmap_word.depth = 64.
The resulsts of computed bfqd-&gt;word_depths[] are {128, 192, 48, 96}, and
three of the numbers exceed core dirver's 'sbitmap_word.depth=64' limit
nothing.

[ Upstream commit 6c635caef410aa757befbd8857c1eadde5cc22ed ]

On !PREEMPT kernel, we can get below softlockup when doing stress
testing with creating and destroying block cgroup repeatly. The
reason is it may take a long time to acquire the queue's lock in
the loop of blkcg_destroy_blkgs(), or the system can accumulate a
huge number of blkgs in pathological cases. We can add a need_resched()
check on each loop and release locks and do cond_resched() if true
to avoid this issue, since the blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is not called
from atomic contexts.

[ Upstream commit 6d4d273588378c65915acaf7b2ee74e9dd9c130a ]

BFQ computes number of tags it allows to be allocated for each request type
based on tag bitmap. However it uses 1 &lt;&lt; bitmap.shift as number of
available tags which is wrong. 'shift' is just an internal bitmap value
containing logarithm of how many bits bitmap uses in each bitmap word.
Thus number of tags allowed for some request types can be far to low.
Use proper bitmap.depth which has the number of tags instead.

commit fa4d0f1992a96f6d7c988ef423e3127e613f6ac9 upstream.

With the current implementation the following race can happen:

 * blk_pre_runtime_suspend() calls blk_freeze_queue_start() and
   blk_mq_unfreeze_queue().

 * blk_queue_enter() calls blk_queue_pm_only() and that function returns
   true.

 * blk_queue_enter() calls blk_pm_request_resume() and that function does
   not call pm_request_resume() because the queue runtime status is
   RPM_ACTIVE.

 * blk_pre_runtime_suspend() changes the queue status into RPM_SUSPENDING.

Fix this race by changing the queue runtime status into RPM_SUSPENDING
before switching q_usage_counter to atomic mode.

[ Upstream commit ab3cee3762e5e69f27c302c43691289fdfc12316 ]

In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), if blk_mq_sched_needs_restart() returns
true and the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE then we'll kick the
queue.  However, there's another case where we might need to kick it.
If we were unable to get budget we can be in much the same state as
when the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE, so we should treat it the
same.

It should be noted that even if we add a whole bunch of extra kicking
to the queue in other patches this patch is still important.
Specifically any kicking that happened before we re-spliced leftover
requests into 'hctx-&gt;dispatch' wouldn't have found any work, so we
really need to make sure we kick ourselves after we've done the
splicing.

[ Upstream commit c7a1d926dc4076aadad187614500afcd8de78818 ]

There is no need for the function __blkdev_reset_all_zones() as
REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET_ALL can be handled directly in blkdev_reset_zones()
bio loop with an early break from the loop. This patch removes this
function and modifies blkdev_reset_zones(), simplifying the code.

[ Upstream commit f255c19b3ab46d3cad3b1b2e1036f4c926cb1d0c ]

Similarly to commit 457e490f2b741 ("blkcg: allocate struct blkcg_gq
outside request queue spinlock"), blkg_create can also trigger
occasional -ENOMEM failures at the radix insertion because any
allocation inside blkg_create has to be non-blocking, making it more
likely to fail.  This causes trouble for userspace tools trying to
configure io weights who need to deal with this condition.

This patch reduces the occurrence of -ENOMEMs on this path by preloading
the radix tree element on a GFP_KERNEL context, such that we guarantee
the later non-blocking insertion won't fail.

A similar solution exists in blkcg_init_queue for the same situation.
