Pull block driver core update from Jens Axboe:
"This is the pull request for the core block IO changes for 3.19. Not
a huge round this time, mostly lots of little good fixes:- Fix a bug in sysfs blktrace interface causing a NULL pointer
dereference, when enabled/disabled through that API. From Arianna
Avanzini.- Various updates/fixes/improvements for blk-mq:
- A set of updates from Bart, mostly fixing buts in the tag
handling.- Cleanup/code consolidation from Christoph.
- Extend queue_rq API to be able to handle batching issues of IO
requests. NVMe will utilize this shortly. From me.- A few tag and request handling updates from me.
- Cleanup of the preempt handling for running queues from Paolo.
- Prevent running of unmapped hardware queues from Ming Lei.
- Move the kdump memory limiting check to be in the correct
location, from Shaohua.- Initialize all software queues at init time from Takashi. This
prevents a kobject warning when CPUs are brought online that
weren't online when a queue was registered.- Single writeback fix for I_DIRTY clearing from Tejun. Queued with
the core IO changes, since it's just a single fix.- Version X of the __bio_add_page() segment addition retry from
Maurizio. Hope the Xth time is the charm.- Documentation fixup for IO scheduler merging from Jan.

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time we have some more new material than we used to have during
the last couple of development cycles.The most important part of it to me is the introduction of a unified
interface for accessing device properties provided by platform
firmware. It works with Device Trees and ACPI in a uniform way and
drivers using it need not worry about where the properties come from
as long as the platform firmware (either DT or ACPI) makes them
available. It covers both devices and "bare" device node objects
without struct device representation as that turns out to be necessary
in some cases. This has been in the works for quite a few months (and
development cycles) and has been approved by all of the relevant
maintainers.On top of that, some drivers are switched over to the new interface
(at25, leds-gpio, gpio_keys_polled) and some additional changes are
made to the core GPIO subsystem to allow device drivers to manipulate
GPIOs in the "canonical" way on platforms that provide GPIO
information in their ACPI tables, but don't assign names to GPIO lines
(in which case the driver needs to do that on the basis of what it
knows about the device in question). That also has been approved by
the GPIO core maintainers and the rfkill driver is now going to use
it.Second is support for hardware P-states in the intel_pstate driver.
It uses CPUID to detect whether or not the feature is supported by the
processor in which case it will be enabled by default. However, it
can be disabled entirely from the kernel command line if necessary.Next is support for a platform firmware interface based on ACPI
operation regions used by the PMIC (Power Management Integrated
Circuit) chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR platforms.
That interface is used for manipulating power resources and for
thermal management: sensor temperature reporting, trip point setting
and so on.Also the ACPI core is now going to support the _DEP configuration
information in a limited way. Basically, _DEP it supposed to reflect
off-the-hierarchy dependencies between devices which may be very
indirect, like when AML for one device accesses locations in an
operation region handled by another device's driver (usually, the
device depended on this way is a serial bus or GPIO controller). The
support added this time is sufficient to make the ACPI battery driver
work on Asus T100A, but it is general enough to be able to cover some
other use cases in the future.Finally, we have a new cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor.
In addition to the above, there are fixes and cleanups all over the
place as usual and a traditional ACPICA update to a recent upstream
release.As far as the fixes go, the ACPI LPSS (Low-power Subsystem) driver for
Intel platforms should be able to handle power management of the DMA
engine correctly, the cpufreq-dt driver should interact with the
thermal subsystem in a better way and the ACPI backlight driver should
handle some more corner cases, among other things.On top of the ACPICA update there are fixes for race conditions in the
ACPICA's interrupt handling code which might lead to some random and
strange looking failures on some systems.In the cleanups department the most visible part is the series of
commits targeted at getting rid of the CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME configuration
option. That was triggered by a discussion regarding the generic
power domains code during which we realized that trying to support
certain combinations of PM config options was painful and not really
worth it, because nobody would use them in production anyway. For
this reason, we decided to make CONFIG_PM_SLEEP select
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and that lead to the conclusion that the latter
became redundant and CONFIG_PM could be used instead of it. The
material here makes that replacement in a major part of the tree, but
there will be at least one more batch of that in the second part of
the merge window.Specifics:
- Support for retrieving device properties information from ACPI _DSD
device configuration objects and a unified device properties
interface for device drivers (and subsystems) on top of that. As
stated above, this works with Device Trees and ACPI and allows
device drivers to be written in a platform firmware (DT or ACPI)
agnostic way. The at25, leds-gpio and gpio_keys_polled drivers are
now going to use this new interface and the GPIO subsystem is
additionally modified to allow device drivers to assign names to
GPIO resources returned by ACPI _CRS objects (in case _DSD is not
present or does not provide the expected data). The changes in
this set are mostly from Mika Westerberg, Rafael J Wysocki, Aaron
Lu, and Darren Hart with some fixes from others (Fabio Estevam,
Geert Uytterhoeven).- Support for Hardware Managed Performance States (HWP) as described
in Volume 3, section 14.4, of the Intel SDM in the intel_pstate
driver. CPUID is used to detect whether or not the feature is
supported by the processor. If supported, it will be enabled
automatically unless the intel_pstate=no_hwp switch is present in
the kernel command line. From Dirk Brandewie.- New Intel Broadwell-H ID for intel_pstate (Dirk Brandewie).
- Support for firmware interface based on ACPI operation regions used
by the PMIC chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR
platforms for power resource control and thermal management (Aaron
Lu).- Limited support for retrieving off-the-hierarchy dependencies
between devices from ACPI _DEP device configuration objects and
deferred probing support for the ACPI battery driver based on the
_DEP information to make that driver work on Asus T100A (Lan
Tianyu).- New cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor (Kelvin Cheung).
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20141107 which only affects
tools (Bob Moore).- Fixes for race conditions in the ACPICA's interrupt handling code
and in the ACPI code related to system suspend and resume (Lv Zheng
and Rafael J Wysocki).- ACPI core fix for an RCU-related issue in the ioremap() regions
management code that slowed down significantly after CPUs had been
allowed to enter idle states even if they'd had RCU callbakcs
queued and triggered some problems in certain proprietary graphics
driver (and elsewhere). The fix replaces synchronize_rcu() in that
code with synchronize_rcu_expedited() which makes the issue go
away. From Konstantin Khlebnikov.- ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver fix to handle power
management of the DMA engine included into the LPSS correctly. The
problem is that the DMA engine doesn't have ACPI PM support of its
own and it simply is turned off when the last LPSS device having
ACPI PM support goes into D3cold. To work around that, the PM
domain used by the ACPI LPSS driver is redesigned so at least one
device with ACPI PM support will be on as long as the DMA engine is
in use. From Andy Shevchenko.- ACPI backlight driver fix to avoid using it on "Win8-compatible"
systems where it doesn't work and where it was used by default by
mistake (Aaron Lu).- Assorted minor ACPI core fixes and cleanups from Tomasz Nowicki,
Sudeep Holla, Huang Rui, Hanjun Guo, Fabian Frederick, and Ashwin

blk-mq users are allowed to free the memory request_queue.tag_set
points at after blk_cleanup_queue() has finished but before
blk_release_queue() has started. This can happen e.g. in the SCSI
core. The SCSI core namely embeds the tag_set structure in a SCSI
host structure. The SCSI host structure is freed by
scsi_host_dev_release(). This function is called after
blk_cleanup_queue() finished but can be called before
blk_release_queue().This means that it is not safe to access request_queue.tag_set from
inside blk_release_queue(). Hence remove the blk_sync_queue() call
from blk_release_queue(). This call is not necessary - outstanding
requests must have finished before blk_release_queue() is
called. Additionally, move the blk_mq_free_queue() call from
blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() to avoid that struct
request_queue.tag_set gets accessed after it has been freed.This patch avoids that the following kernel oops can be triggered
when deleting a SCSI host for which scsi-mq was enabled:Call Trace:

Currently scsi piggy backs on the block layer to define the concept
of a tagged command. But we want to be able to have block-level host-wide
tags assigned even for untagged commands like the initial INQUIRY, so add
a new SCSI-level flag for commands that are tagged at the scsi level, so
that even commands without that set can have tags assigned to them. Note
that this alredy is the case for the blk-mq code path, and this just lets
the old path catch up with it.We also set this flag based upon sdev->simple_tags instead of the block
queue flag, so that it is entirely independent of the block layer tagging,
and thus always correct even if a driver doesn't use block level tagging
yet.Also remove the old blk_rq_tagged; it was only used by SCSI drivers, and
removing it forces them to look for the proper replacement.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the
specified block_device. blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of
bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device.All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including
blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return
NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires
the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk.
Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated
with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can
blk_get_backing_dev_info().Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and
remove NULL handling from all the callers.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

blk_mq freezing is entangled with generic bypassing which bypasses
blkcg and io scheduler and lets IO requests fall through the block
layer to the drivers in FIFO order. This allows forward progress on
IOs with the advanced features disabled so that those features can be
configured or altered without worrying about stalling IO which may
lead to deadlock through memory allocation.However, generic bypassing doesn't quite fit blk-mq. blk-mq currently
doesn't make use of blkcg or ioscheds and it maps bypssing to
freezing, which blocks request processing and drains all the in-flight
ones. This causes problems as bypassing assumes that request
processing is online. blk-mq works around this by conditionally
allowing request processing for the problem case - during queue
initialization.Another weirdity is that except for during queue cleanup, bypassing
started on the generic side prevents blk-mq from processing new
requests but doesn't drain the in-flight ones. This shouldn't break
anything but again highlights that something isn't quite right here.The root cause is conflating blk-mq freezing and generic bypassing
which are two different mechanisms. The only intersecting purpose
that they serve is during queue cleanup. Let's properly separate
blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing and simply use it where
necessary.* request_queue->mq_freeze_depth is added and
blk_mq_[un]freeze_queue() now operate on this counter instead of
->bypass_depth. The replacement for QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS isn't added
but the counter is tested directly. This will be further updated by
later changes.* blk_mq_drain_queue() is dropped and "__" prefix is dropped from
blk_mq_freeze_queue(). Queue cleanup path now calls
blk_mq_freeze_queue() directly.* blk_queue_enter()'s fast path condition is simplified to simply
check @q->mq_freeze_depth. Previously, the condition was!blk_queue_dying(q) &&
(!blk_queue_bypass(q) || !blk_queue_init_done(q))mq_freeze_depth is incremented right after dying is set and
blk_queue_init_done() exception isn't necessary as blk-mq doesn't
start frozen, which only leaves the blk_queue_bypass() test which
can be replaced by @q->mq_freeze_depth test.This change simplifies the code and reduces confusion in the area.

Currently, both blk_queue_bypass_start() and blk_mq_freeze_queue()
skip queue draining if bypass_depth was already above zero. The
assumption is that the one which bumped the bypass_depth should have
performed draining already; however, there's nothing which prevents a
new instance of bypassing/freezing from starting before the previous
one finishes draining. The current code may allow the later
bypassing/freezing instances to complete while there still are
in-flight requests which haven't finished draining.Fix it by draining regardless of bypass_depth. We still skip draining
from blk_queue_bypass_start() while the queue is initializing to avoid
introducing excessive delays during boot. INIT_DONE setting is moved
above the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() so that bypassing attempts
can't slip inbetween.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"A smaller collection of fixes for the block core that would be nice to
have in -rc2. This pull request contains:- Fixes for races in the wait/wakeup logic used in blk-mq from
Alexander. No issues have been observed, but it is definitely a
bit flakey currently. Alternatively, we may drop the cyclic
wakeups going forward, but that needs more testing.- Some cleanups from Christoph.
- Fix for an oops in null_blk if queue_mode=1 and softirq completions
are used. From me.- A fix for a regression caused by the chunk size setting. It
inadvertently used max_hw_sectors instead of max_sectors, which is
incorrect, and causes hangs on btrfs multi-disk setups (where hw
sectors apparently isn't set). From me.- Removal of WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT in the kblockd creation. This was a
recent addition as well, but it actually breaks blk-mq which relies
on strict scheduling. If the workqueue power_efficient mode is
turned on, this breaks blk-mq. From Matias.- null_blk module parameter description fix from Mike"

blk-mq issues async requests through kblockd. To issue a work request on
a specific CPU, kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on is used. However, the
specific CPU choice may not be honored, if the power_efficient option
for workqueues is set. blk-mq requires that we have strict per-cpu
scheduling, so it wont work properly if kblockd is marked
POWER_EFFICIENT and power_efficient is set.Remove the kblockd WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT flag to prevent this behavior.
This essentially reverts part of commit 695588f9454b, which added
the WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT marker to kblockd.Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling

With the optimizations around not clearing the full request at alloc
time, we are leaving some of the needed init for REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
up to the user allocating the request.Add a blk_rq_set_block_pc() that sets the command type to
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC, and properly initializes the members associated
with this type of request. Update callers to use this function instead
of manipulating rq->cmd_type directly.Includes fixes from Christoph Hellwig for my half-assed
attempt.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

For request_fn based devices, the block layer exports a 'nr_requests'
file through sysfs to allow adjusting of queue depth on the fly.
Currently this returns -EINVAL for blk-mq, since it's not wired up.

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().
For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
