<title>block: fix bogus EFAULT error from SG_IO ioctl</title>

Whenever blk_fill_sghdr_rq fails, its errno code is ignored and changed to
EFAULT.  This can cause very confusing errors:

  $ sg_persist -k /dev/sda
  persistent reservation in: pass through os error: Bad address

The fix is trivial, just propagate the return value from
blk_fill_sghdr_rq.

Pull device mapper fixes from Mike Snitzer:
 "Apologies for not pressing this request-based DM partial completion
  issue further, it was an oversight on my part.  We'll have to get it
  fixed up properly and revisit for a future release.

   - Revert block and DM core changes the removed request-based DM's
     ability to handle partial request completions -- otherwise with the
     current SCSI LLDs these changes could lead to silent data
     corruption.

   - Fix two DM version bumps that were missing from the initial 4.2 DM
     pull request (enabled userspace lvm2 to know certain changes have
     been made)"

This reverts commit 5f1b670d0bef508a5554d92525f5f6d00d640b38.

Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html

this change should not be pushed to mainline yet.

Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent
data corruption problem:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html

And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests
to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a
requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between
request and bio (e.g. rq-&gt;__sector and rq-&gt;bio) will cause silent data
corruption:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00022.html

Pull core block IO update from Jens Axboe:

  optimizations and cleanups, mixed with various fixes.  In more detail,

   - Addition of policy specific data to blkcg for block cgroups.  From

   - Various cleanups around command types from Christoph.

   - Cleanup of the suspend block I/O path from Christoph.

     count in a bio.  From me.

   - Fixes for SG gap and chunk size support for data-less (discards)
     IO, so we can merge these better.  From me.

   - Small restructuring of blk-mq shared tag support, freeing drivers
     from iterating hardware queues.  From Keith Busch.

If none of the devices in the system are using CFQ, then attempting to
read:

/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.leaf_weight

will results in a NULL dereference. Check for a valid cfq_group_data
struct before attempting to dereference it.

If none of the devices in the system are using CFQ, then attempting to
read:

/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.leaf_weight

will results in a NULL dereference. Check for a valid cfq_group_data
struct before attempting to dereference it.

<title>cfq-iosched: move group scheduling functions under ifdef</title>

If CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is not set, the compiler produces the
following warning:

  CC      block/cfq-iosched.o
  linux/block/cfq-iosched.c:469:2:
    warning: 'cpd_to_cfqgd' defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
    *cpd_to_cfqgd(struct blkcg_policy_data *cpd)
     ^

In reality, two other lookup functions aren't used either if
CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED isn't set. Move all three under one of the
CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED sections in the code.

Neil sees this in his tests and it also triggers on pmem driver unbind
for the libnvdimm tests.  This fix is on top of an initial fix by Keith
for incorrect usage of mutex_lock() in this path: 2da78092dda1 "block:
Fix dev_t minor allocation lifetime".  Both this and 2da78092dda1 are
candidates for -stable.
