edfaa7c365 Driver core: convert block from raw kobjects to core devices
This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one

to the disks.

11c3e689f1 [SCSI] block: Introduce new blk_queue_update_dma_alignment interface
The purpose of this is to allow stacked alignment settings, with the
ultimate queue alignment being set to the largest alignment requirement
in the stack.

The reason for this is so that the SCSI mid-layer can relax the default
alignment requirements (which are basically causing a lot of superfluous
copying to go on in the SG_IO interface) while allowing transports,
devices or HBAs to add stricter limits if they need them.

d85532ed28 block: fix requeue handling in blk_queue_invalidate_tags()
Credit goes to juergen.kadidlo@exasol.com for diagnosing this issue
and supplying the initial patch.

blk_queue_invalidate_tags() must use the proper requeueing paths instead
of open coding the re-add of the request, otherwise we bug out in rq
accounting. Just switch to using blk_requeue_request(), that takes care
of end-tag handling as well and also adds the blktrace REQUEUE notify
event that is also appropriate here.

c46f2334c8 [SG] Get rid of __sg_mark_end()
sg_mark_end() overwrites the page_link information, but all users want
__sg_mark_end() behaviour where we just set the end bit. That is the most
natural way to use the sg list, since you'll fill it in and then mark the
end point.

So change sg_mark_end() to only set the termination bit. Add a sg_magic
debug check as well, and clear a chain pointer if it is set.

6eca9004df [BLOCK] Fix bad sharing of tag busy list on queues with shared tag maps
For the locking to work, only the tag map and tag bit map may be shared
(incidentally, I was just explaining this to Nick yesterday, but I
apparently didn't review the code well enough myself). But we also share
the busy list!  The busy_list must be queue private, or we need a
block_queue_tag covering lock as well.

So we have to move the busy_list to the queue. This'll work fine, and
it'll actually also fix a problem with blk_queue_invalidate_tags() which
will invalidate tags across all shared queues. This is a bit confusing,
the low level driver should call it for each queue seperately since
otherwise you cannot kill tags on just a single queue for eg a hard
drive that stops responding. Since the function has no callers
currently, it's not an issue.

7aeacf9822 [BLOCK] blk_rq_map_sg: force clear termination bit
Since blk_rq_map_sg() sets the termination bit at the end of the sg
table, we could see it prematurely on the next mapping unless we
force drivers to do a full sg_init_table() prior to each mapping. So
force clear the termination bit to avoid having to put that clear in
the driver for every mapping.

ba25f9dcc4 Use helpers to obtain task pid in printks
The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start
using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in
the kernel.

The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in
this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce
more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.

5bb23a688b Don't decrement bi_size in bio_endio
The only caller of bio_endio that does not pass the full bi_size
is end_that_request_first.  Also, no ->bi_end_io method is really
interested in bi_size being decremented.

So move the decrement and related code into ll_rw_blk and merge it
with order_bio_endio to form req_bio_endio which does endio functionality
specific to request completion.

As some ->bi_end_io methods do check bi_size of 0, we set it thus for
now, but that will go in the next patch.

3001ca7712 New function blk_req_append_bio
ll_back_merge_fn is currently exported to SCSI where is it used,
together with blk_rq_bio_prep, in exactly the same way these
functions are used in __blk_rq_map_user.

So move the common code into a new function (blk_rq_append_bio), and
don't export ll_back_merge_fn any longer.

5705f70217 Introduce rq_for_each_segment replacing rq_for_each_bio
Every usage of rq_for_each_bio wraps a usage of
bio_for_each_segment, so these can be combined into
rq_for_each_segment.

We define "struct req_iterator" to hold the 'bio' and 'index' that
are needed for the double iteration.

9dfa52831e Merge blk_recount_segments into blk_recalc_rq_segments
blk_recalc_rq_segments calls blk_recount_segments on each bio,
then does some extra calculations to handle segments that overlap
two bios.

If we merge the code from blk_recount_segments into
blk_recalc_rq_segments, we can process the whole request one bio_vec
at a time, and not need the messy cross-bio calculations.

Then blk_recount_segments can be implemented by calling
blk_recalc_rq_segments, passing it a simple on-stack request which
stores just the bio.

dd941252a8 shared tag queue barrier comment
Should add some comments for the tag barriers (they won't be so important
if we can switch over to the explicit _lock bitops, but for now we should
make it clear).

Jens' original patch said a barrier after the test_and_clear_bit was also
required. I can't see why (and it would prevent the use of the _lock bitop).

f3da54ba14 Fix race with shared tag queue maps
There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps,
users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx.  The former
at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen
any for the latter.  It could be because the window is narrow and that
other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this.  It's a real bug,
though, as the stex smp users can attest.

We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen
AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is
what protects this map.  Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility
of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly.

[ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies
  all the required barriers.  -- Linus ]

c7149d6bce Fix remap handling by blktrace
This patch provides more information concerning REMAP operations on block
IOs. The additional information provides clearer details at the user level,
and supports post-processing analysis in btt.

o  Adds in partition remaps on the same device.
o  Fixed up the remap information in DM to be in the right order
o  Sent up mapped-from and mapped-to device information

165125e1e4 [BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedef
Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.
