<title>block: better op and flags encoding</title>

Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields.  This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.

In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.

Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits.  Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

cgroup_path() and friends used to format the path from the end and
thus the resulting path usually didn't start at the start of the
passed in buffer.  Also, when the buffer was too small, the partial
result was truncated from the head rather than tail and there was no
way to tell how long the full path would be.  These make the functions
less robust and more awkward to use.

With recent updates to kernfs_path(), cgroup_path() and friends can be
made to behave in strlcpy() style.

* cgroup_path(), cgroup_path_ns[_locked]() and task_cgroup_path() now
  always return the length of the full path.  If buffer is too small,
  it contains nul terminated truncated output.

* All users updated accordingly.

v2: cgroup_path() usage in kernel/sched/debug.c converted.

<title>block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio-&gt;bi_rw contains flags in the lower
portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that
old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely
going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger,
rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break
at compile time instead of at runtime.

No intended functional changes in this commit.

The bio and request operation and flags are going to be separate
definitions, so we cannot pass them in as a bitmap. This patch
converts the blkg_rwstat code and its caller, cfq, to pass in the
values separately.

<title>block, drivers, cgroup: use op_is_write helper instead of checking for REQ_WRITE</title>

<id>a8ebb056a8aeb58aafef0af241a6b3ac34ac86bd</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently set REQ_WRITE/WRITE for all non READ IOs
like discard, flush, writesame, etc. In the next patches where we
no longer set up the op as a bitmap, we will not be able to
detect a operation direction like writesame by testing if REQ_WRITE is
set.

This patch converts the drivers and cgroup to use the
op_is_write helper. This should just cover the simple
cases. I did dm, md and bcache in their own patches
because they were more involved.

<title>blkcg: use CGROUP_WEIGHT_* scale for io.weight on the unified hierarchy</title>

cgroup is trying to make interface consistent across different
controllers.  For weight based resource control, the knob should have
the range [1, 10000] and default to 100.  This patch updates
cfq-iosched so that the weight range conforms.  The internal
calculations have enough range and the widening of the weight range
shouldn't cause any problem.

* blkcg_policy-&gt;cpd_bind_fn() is added.  If present, this is invoked
  when blkcg is attached to a hierarchy.

* cfq_cpd_init() is updated to use the new default value on the
  unified hierarchy.

* cfq_cpd_bind() callback is implemented to clear per-blkg configs and
  apply the default config matching the hierarchy type.

* cfqd-&gt;root_group-&gt;[leaf_]weight initialization in cfq_init_queue()
  is moved into !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED block.  cfq_cpd_bind() is
  now responsible for initializing the initial weights when blkcg is
  enabled.
