Reading the inode size brings in a new cacheline for IO submit, and
it's in the hot path being checked for every single IO. When doing
millions of IOs per core per second, this is noticeable overhead.

Cache the nr_sectors in the bdev itself.

There are tons of places where we need to get a request_queue only
having bdev, which turns into bdev-&gt;bd_disk-&gt;queue. There are probably a
hundred of such places considering inline helpers, and enough of them
are in hot paths.

Cache queue pointer in struct block_device and make use of it in
bdev_get_queue().

<title>block: switch polling to be bio based</title>

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.

Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:

 - the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
 - the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
   separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
 - keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
   support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
 - a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
   be removed entirely.

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "The highlights of this round are integrations with fs-verity and
  idmapped mounts, the rest is usual mix of minor improvements, speedups
  and cleanups.

  There are some patches outside of btrfs, namely updating some VFS
  interfaces, all straightforward and acked.

  Features:

   - fs-verity support, using standard ioctls, backward compatible with
     read-only limitation on inodes with previously enabled fs-verity

   - idmapped mount support

   - make mount with rescue=ibadroots more tolerant to partially damaged
     trees

   - allow raid0 on a single device and raid10 on two devices,
     degenerate cases but might be useful as an intermediate step during
     conversion to other profiles

   - zoned mode block group auto reclaim can be disabled via sysfs knob

  Performance improvements:

   - continue readahead of node siblings even if target node is in
     memory, could speed up full send (on sample test +11%)

   - batching of delayed items can speed up creating many files

   - fsync/tree-log speedups
       - avoid unnecessary work (gains +2% throughput, -2% run time on
         sample load)
       - reduced lock contention on renames (on dbench +4% throughput,
         up to -30% latency)

  Fixes:

   - various zoned mode fixes

   - preemptive flushing threshold tuning, avoid excessive work on
     almost full filesystems

  Core:

   - continued subpage support, preparation for implementing remaining
     features like compression and defragmentation; with some
     limitations, write is now enabled on 64K page systems with 4K
     sectors, still considered experimental
       - no readahead on compressed reads
       - inline extents disabled
       - disabled raid56 profile conversion and mount

   - improved flushing logic, fixing early ENOSPC on some workloads

   - inode flags have been internally split to read-only and read-write
     incompat bit parts, used by fs-verity

   - new tree items for fs-verity
       - descriptor item
       - Merkle tree item

   - inode operations extended to be namespace-aware

   - cleanups and refactoring

  Generic code changes:

   - fs: new export filemap_fdatawrite_wbc

   - fs: removed sync_inode

   - block: bio_trim argument type fixups

   - vfs: add namespace-aware lookup"

* tag 'for-5.15-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux: (114 commits)
  btrfs: reset replace target device to allocation state on close
  btrfs: zoned: fix ordered extent boundary calculation
