Request-based DM's blk-mq support defaults to off; but a user can easily
change the default using the dm_mod.use_blk_mq module/boot option.

Also, you can check what mode a given request-based DM device is using
with: cat /sys/block/dm-X/dm/use_blk_mq

This change enabled further cleanup and reduced work (e.g. the
md-&gt;io_pool and md-&gt;rq_pool isn't created if using blk-mq).

<title>dm: impose configurable deadline for dm_request_fn's merge heuristic</title>

Otherwise, for sequential workloads, the dm_request_fn can allow
excessive request merging at the expense of increased service time.

Add a per-device sysfs attribute to allow the user to control how long a
request, that is a reasonable merge candidate, can be queued on the
request queue.  The resolution of this request dispatch deadline is in
microseconds (ranging from 1 to 100000 usecs), to set a 20us deadline:
  echo 20 &gt; /sys/block/dm-7/dm/rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline

The dm_request_fn's merge heuristic and associated extra accounting is
disabled by default (rq_based_seq_io_merge_deadline is 0).

This sysfs attribute is not applicable to bio-based DM devices so it
will only ever report 0 for them.

By allowing a request to remain on the queue it will block others
requests on the queue.  But introducing a short dequeue delay has proven
very effective at enabling certain sequential IO workloads on really
fast, yet IOPS constrained, devices to build up slightly larger IOs --
yielding 90+% throughput improvements.  Having precise control over the
time taken to wait for larger requests to build affords control beyond
that of waiting for certain IO sizes to accumulate (which would require
a deadline anyway).  This knob will only ever make sense with sequential
IO workloads and the particular value used is storage configuration
specific.

Given the expected niche use-case for when this knob is useful it has
been deemed acceptable to expose this relatively crude method for
crafting optimal IO on specific storage -- especially given the solution
is simple yet effective.  In the context of DM multipath, it is
advisable to tune this sysfs attribute to a value that offers the best
performance for the common case (e.g. if 4 paths are expected active,
tune for that; if paths fail then performance may be slightly reduced).

Alternatives were explored to have request-based DM autotune this value
(e.g. if/when paths fail) but they were quickly deemed too fragile and
complex to warrant further design and development time.  If this problem
proves more common as faster storage emerges we'll have to look at
elevating a generic solution into the block core.

DM multipath is the only caller of blk_lld_busy() -- which calls a
queue's lld_busy_fn hook.  Request-based DM doesn't support stacking
multipath devices so there is no reason to register the lld_busy_fn hook
on a multipath device's queue using blk_queue_lld_busy().

As such, remove functions dm_lld_busy and dm_table_any_busy_target.

<title>dm: allocate requests in target when stacking on blk-mq devices</title>

For blk-mq request-based DM the responsibility of allocating a cloned
request is transfered from DM core to the target type.  Doing so
enables the cloned request to be allocated from the appropriate
blk-mq request_queue's pool (only the DM target, e.g. multipath, can
know which block device to send a given cloned request to).

Care was taken to preserve compatibility with old-style block request
completion that requires request-based DM _not_ acquire the clone
request's queue lock in the completion path.  As such, there are now 2
different request-based DM target_type interfaces:
1) the original .map_rq() interface will continue to be used for
   non-blk-mq devices -- the preallocated clone request is passed in
   from DM core.
2) a new .clone_and_map_rq() and .release_clone_rq() will be used for
   blk-mq devices -- blk_get_request() and blk_put_request() are used
   respectively from these hooks.

dm_table_set_type() was updated to detect if the request-based target is
being stacked on blk-mq devices, if so DM_TYPE_MQ_REQUEST_BASED is set.
DM core disallows switching the DM table's type after it is set.  This
means that there is no mixing of non-blk-mq and blk-mq devices within
the same request-based DM table.

Rename dm_internal_{suspend,resume} to dm_internal_{suspend,resume}_fast
-- dm-stats will continue using these methods to avoid all the extra
suspend/resume logic that is not needed in order to quickly flush IO.

Introduce dm_internal_suspend_noflush() variant that actually calls the
mapped_device's target callbacks -- otherwise target-specific hooks are
avoided (e.g. dm-thin's thin_presuspend and thin_postsuspend).  Common
code between dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} and
dm_{suspend,resume} was factored out as __dm_{suspend,resume}.

Update dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} to always take and release
the mapped_device's suspend_lock.  Also update dm_{suspend,resume} to be
aware of potential for DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be set and respond
accordingly by interruptibly waiting for the DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to
be cleared.  Add lockdep annotation to dm_suspend() and dm_resume().

The existing DM_SUSPEND_FLAG remains unchanged.
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG is set by dm_internal_suspend_noflush() and
cleared by dm_internal_resume().

Both DM_SUSPEND_FLAG and DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG may be set if a device
was already suspended when dm_internal_suspend_noflush() was called --
this can be thought of as a "nested suspend".  A "nested suspend" can
occur with legacy userspace dm-thin code that might suspend all active
thin volumes before suspending the pool for resize.

But otherwise, in the normal dm-thin-pool suspend case moving forward:
the thin-pool will have DM_SUSPEND_FLAG set and all active thins from
that thin-pool will have DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG set.

Also add DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to status report.  This new
DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG state is being reported to assist with
debugging (e.g. 'dmsetup info' will report an internally suspended
device accordingly).

Until this change, when loading a new DM table, DM core would re-open
all of the devices in the DM table.  Now, DM core will avoid redundant
device opens (and closes when destroying the old table) if the old
table already has a device open using the same mode.  This is achieved
by managing reference counts on the table_devices that DM core now
stores in the mapped_device structure (rather than in the dm_table
structure).  So a mapped_device's active and inactive dm_tables' dm_dev
lists now just point to the dm_devs stored in the mapped_device's
table_devices list.

This improvement in DM core's device reference counting has the
side-effect of fixing a long-standing limitation of the multipath
target: a DM multipath table couldn't include any paths that were unusable
(failed).  For example: if all paths have failed and you add a new,
working, path to the table; you can't use it since the table load would
fail due to it still containing failed paths.  Now a re-load of a
multipath table can include failed devices and when those devices become
active again they can be used instantly.

The device list code in dm.c isn't a straight copy/paste from the code in
dm-table.c, but it's very close (aside from some variable renames).  One
subtle difference is that find_table_device for the tables_devices list
will only match devices with the same name and mode.  This is because we
don't want to upgrade a device's mode in the active table when an
inactive table is loaded.

Access to the mapped_device structure's tables_devices list requires a
mutex (tables_devices_lock), so that tables cannot be created and
destroyed concurrently.
