Normally, blkcg_iolatency_exit() will free related memory in iolatency
when cleanup queue. But if blk_throtl_init() return error and queue init
fail, blkcg_iolatency_exit() will not do that for us. Then it cause
memory leak.

A previous commit aligning splits to physical block sizes inadvertently
modified one return case such that that it now returns 0 length splits
when the number of sectors doesn't exceed the physical offset. This
later hits a BUG in bio_split(). Restore the previous working behavior.

<title>blk-mq: insert request not through -&gt;queue_rq into sw/scheduler queue</title>

c616cbee97ae ("blk-mq: punt failed direct issue to dispatch list") supposed
to add request which has been through -&gt;queue_rq() to the hw queue dispatch
list, however it adds request running out of budget or driver tag to hw queue
too. This way basically bypasses request merge, and causes too many request
dispatched to LLD, and system% is unnecessary increased.

Fixes this issue by adding request not through -&gt;queue_rq into sw/scheduler
queue, and this way is safe because no -&gt;queue_rq is called on this request
yet.

High %system can be observed on Azure storvsc device, and even soft lock
is observed. This patch reduces %system during heavy sequential IO,
meantime decreases soft lockup risk.

Changes from v1:
    - update commit description with proper ref-accounting justification

commit db37a34c563b ("block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree")
introduce leak forbfq_group and blkcg_gq objects because of get/put
imbalance.
In fact whole idea of original commit is wrong because bfq_group entity
can not dissapear under us because it is referenced by child bfq_queue's
entities from here:
 -&gt; bfq_init_entity()
    -&gt;bfqg_and_blkg_get(bfqg);
    -&gt;entity-&gt;parent = bfqg-&gt;my_entity

 -&gt; bfq_put_queue(bfqq)
    FINAL_PUT
    -&gt;bfqg_and_blkg_put(bfqq_group(bfqq))
    -&gt;kmem_cache_free(bfq_pool, bfqq);

So parent entity can not disappear while child entity is in tree,
and child entities already has proper protection.
This patch revert commit db37a34c563b ("block, bfq: get a ref to a group when adding it to a service tree")

bfq_group leak trace caused by bad commit:
-&gt; blkg_alloc
   -&gt; bfq_pq_alloc
     -&gt; bfqg_get (+1)
-&gt;bfq_activate_bfqq

		return false;
 -&gt; bfq_pd_free
    -&gt; bfqg_put() (-1, byt bfqg-&gt;ref == 2) because of (Note2)
So bfq_group and blkcg_gq  will leak forever, see test-case below.

If we pass in an offset which is larger than PAGE_SIZE, then
page_is_mergeable() thinks it's not mergeable with the previous bio_vec,
leading to a large number of bio_vecs being used.  Use a slightly more
obvious test that the two pages are compatible with each other.

When queue_max_discard_segments(q) is 1, blk_discard_mergable() will
return false for discard request, then normal request merge is applied.
However, only queue_max_segments() is checked, so max discard segment
limit isn't respected.

Check max discard segment limit in the request merge code for fixing
the issue.

Discard request failure of virtio_blk is fixed.

<title>blk-mq: order adding requests to hctx-&gt;dispatch and checking SCHED_RESTART</title>

SCHED_RESTART code path is relied to re-run queue for dispatch requests
in hctx-&gt;dispatch. Meantime the SCHED_RSTART flag is checked when adding
requests to hctx-&gt;dispatch.

memory barriers have to be used for ordering the following two pair of OPs:

1) adding requests to hctx-&gt;dispatch and checking SCHED_RESTART in
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list()

2) clearing SCHED_RESTART and checking if there is request in hctx-&gt;dispatch
in blk_mq_sched_restart().

Without the added memory barrier, either:

1) blk_mq_sched_restart() may miss requests added to hctx-&gt;dispatch meantime
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() observes SCHED_RESTART, and not run queue in
dispatch side

or

2) blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list still sees SCHED_RESTART, and not run queue
in dispatch side, meantime checking if there is request in
hctx-&gt;dispatch from blk_mq_sched_restart() is missed.

IO hang in ltp/fs_fill test is reported by kernel test robot:

	https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/7/26/77

Turns out it is caused by the above out-of-order OPs. And the IO hang
can't be observed any more after applying this patch.
