Remove the request_idx parameter, which can't be used safely now that we
support I/O schedulers with blk-mq.  Except for a superflous check in
mtip32xx it was unused anyway.

Also pass the tag_set instead of just the driver data - this allows drivers
to avoid some code duplication in a follow on cleanup.

<id>694752922b12bd318aa80191bd9d8c3dcfb39055</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
   was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
   fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
   to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
   From Paolo.

 - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
   using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
   live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.

 - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
   devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
   times, solving various problems with hot removal.

 - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
   'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
   device.

 - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.

 - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
   legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
   queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
   more than a decade.

 - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
   windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
   register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.

 - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
   framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
   blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
   marked experimental for now.

 - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
   efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
   IO.

 - A few fixes for opal, from Scott.

 - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
   From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.

 - A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from
   the blk-mq debugfs support.

 - A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES.

 - A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
   we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also
   shrinks the size of struct request a bit.

 - Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph. The former was
   never used by platforms, and the latter has outlived it's usefulness.

 - Various little bug fixes and cleanups from a wide variety of folks.

* 'for-4.12/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (329 commits)
  block: hide badblocks attribute by default
  blk-mq: unify hctx delay_work and run_work
  block: add kblock_mod_delayed_work_on()
  blk-mq: unify hctx delayed_run_work and run_work
  nbd: fix use after free on module unload
  MAINTAINERS: bfq: Add Paolo as maintainer for the BFQ I/O scheduler
  blk-mq-sched: alloate reserved tags out of normal pool
  mtip32xx: use runtime tag to initialize command header
  scsi: Implement blk_mq_ops.show_rq()
  blk-mq: Add blk_mq_ops.show_rq()
  blk-mq: Show operation, cmd_flags and rq_flags names
  blk-mq: Make blk_flags_show() callers append a newline character
  blk-mq: Move the "state" debugfs attribute one level down
  blk-mq: Unregister debugfs attributes earlier
  blk-mq: Only unregister hctxs for which registration succeeded
  blk-mq-debugfs: Rename functions for registering and unregistering the mq directory
  blk-mq: Let blk_mq_debugfs_register() look up the queue name
  blk-mq: Register &lt;dev&gt;/queue/mq after having registered &lt;dev&gt;/queue
  ide-pm: always pass 0 error to ide_complete_rq in ide_do_devset
  ide-pm: always pass 0 error to __blk_end_request_all

We want our own clearly defined error field for NVMe passthrough commands,
and the request errors field is going away in its current form.

Just store the status and result field in the nvme_request field from
hardirq completion context (using a new helper) and then generate a
Linux errno for the block layer only when we actually need it.

Because we can't overload the status value with a negative error code
for cancelled command we now have a flags filed in struct nvme_request
that contains a bit for this condition.

This avoids duplicating the logic four times, and it also allows to keep
some helpers static in core.c or just opencode them.

Note that this loses printing the aborted status on completions in the
PCI driver as that uses a data structure not available any more.
