Commit f5ce815f34bc ("scsi: target: tcmu: Support DATA_BLOCK_SIZE = N *
PAGE_SIZE") introduced xas_next() calls to iterate xarray elements.  These
calls triggered the WARNING "suspicious RCU usage" at tcmu device set up
[1]. In the call stack of xas_next(), xas_load() was called.  According to
its comment, this function requires "the xa_lock or the RCU lock".

To avoid the warning:

 - Guard the small loop calling xas_next() in tcmu_get_empty_block with RCU
   lock.

 - In the large loop in tcmu_copy_data using RCU lock would possibly
   disable preemtion for a long time (copy multi MBs). Therefore replace
   XA_STATE, xas_set and xas_next with a single xa_load.

<title>scsi: target: tcmu: Return from tcmu_handle_completions() if cmd_id not found</title>

<content type='text'>
If tcmu_handle_completions() finds an invalid cmd_id while looping over cmd
responses from userspace it sets TCMU_DEV_BIT_BROKEN and breaks the
loop. This means that it does further handling for the tcmu device.

Skip that handling by replacing 'break' with 'return'.

Additionally change tcmu_handle_completions() from unsigned int to bool,
since the value used in return already is bool.

Make data_pages_per_blk changeable similar to the way it is done for
max_data_area_mb. One can change the value by typing:

  echo "data_pages_per_blk=N" &gt;control

The value is printed when doing:

  cat info

In addition, a new readonly attribute 'data_pages_per_blk' returns the
value on read.

<content type='text'>
Change tcmu to support DATA_BLOCK_SIZE being a multiple of PAGE_SIZE. There
are two reasons why one would like to have a bigger DATA_BLOCK_SIZE:

 1) If userspace - e.g. due to data compression, encryption or
    deduplication - needs to have receive or transmit data in a consecutive
    buffer, we can define DATA_BLOCK_SIZE to the maximum size of a SCSI
    READ/WRITE to enforce that userspace sees just one consecutive
    buffer. That way we can avoid the need for doing data copy in
    userspace.

 2) Using a bigger data block size can speed up command processing in
    tcmu. The number of free data blocks to look up in bitmap is reduced
    substantially. The lookup for data pages in radix_tree can be done more
    efficiently if there are multiple pages in a data block. The maximum
    number of IOVs to set up is lower so cmd entries in the ring become
    smaller.

<content type='text'>
Rename some variables and definitions as a first preparation for
DATA_BLOCK_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE and add the new DATA_PAGES_PER_BLK definition
containing the number of pages per data block.

Rename tcmu_try_get_block_page() to tcmu_try_get_data_page(). Keep name
tcmu_get_block_page() since it will go away in a following commit when
there is only one caller left.  Subsequent commits will then add full
support for DATA_PAGES_PER_BLK != 1, which also means DATA_BLOCK_SIZE =
DATA_PAGES_PER_BLK * PAGE_SIZE

DATA_BLOCK_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE and add the new DATA_PAGES_PER_BLK definition
containing the number of pages per data block.

Rename tcmu_try_get_block_page() to tcmu_try_get_data_page(). Keep name
tcmu_get_block_page() since it will go away in a following commit when
there is only one caller left.  Subsequent commits will then add full
support for DATA_PAGES_PER_BLK != 1, which also means DATA_BLOCK_SIZE =
DATA_PAGES_PER_BLK * PAGE_SIZE

<title>scsi: target: tcmu: Adjust names of variables and definitions</title>

Some definitions and members of struct tcmu_dev had misleading
names. Examples:

 - ring_size was used for the size of mailbox + cmd ring + data area

 - CMDR_SIZE was used for size of mailbox + cmd ring

I added the new definition MB_CMDR_SIZE (mailbox + command ring), changed
CMDR_SIZE to hold the size of the command ring only and replaced in struct
tcmu_dev the member ring_size with mmap_pages, because the member is now
used in tcmu_mmap() only, where we need page count, not size.

I also added the new struct tcmu_dev member 'cmdr' which is used to replace
some occurences of '(void *)mb + CMDR_OFF' with 'udev-&gt;cmdr' for better
readability.

<title>scsi: target: tcmu: Adjust parameter in call to tcmu_blocks_release()</title>

In commit f7c89771d07d ("scsi: target: tcmu: Replace radix_tree with
XArray") the meaning of last parameter of tcmu_blocks_release() was
changed.  So in the callers we should subtract 1 from the previous
parameter.

Unfortunately that change got lost at one of the two places where
tcmu_blocks_release() is called. That does not lead to any problems, but we
should adjust it anyway.

<title>scsi: target: tcmu: Use GFP_NOIO while handling cmds or holding cmdr_lock</title>

Especially when using tcmu with tcm_loop, memory allocations with
GFP_KERNEL for a LUN can cause write back to the same LUN.

So we have to use GFP_NOIO when allocation is done while handling commands
or while holding cmdr_lock.
