Add a new max_user_discard_sectors limit that mirrors max_user_sectors and stores the value that the user manually set. This now allows updates of the max_hw_discard_sectors to not worry about the user limit.

Add a new queue_limits_{start,commit}_update pair of functions that allows taking an atomic snapshot of queue limits, update it, and commit it if it passes validity checking.

When enlisting a bio into ->free_list_irq we protect the list by disabling irqs. It's likely they're already disabled and performance of local_irq_{save,restore}() is decent, but it's not zero cost. Let's only use the irq cache when when we're serving a hard irq, which allows to remove local_irq_{save,restore}(), and fall back to bio_free() in all left cases. Profiles indicate that the bio_put() cost is reduced by ~3.5 times (1.76% -> 0.49%), and total throughput of a CPU bound benchmark improve by around 1% (t/io_uring with high QD and several drives).

bio_put_percpu_cache() puts all non-iopoll bios into the irq-safe list, which entails disabling irqs. The overhead of that is not that bad when interrupts are already off but getting worse otherwise. We can optimise it when we're in the task context by using ->free_list directly just as the IOPOLL path does.

All log messages in dasd.c use the printk variants of pr_*(). They all add the name of the affected device manually to the log message. This can be simplified by using the dev_*() variants of printk, which include the device information and make a separate call to dev_name() unnecessary. The KMSG_COMPONENT and the pr_fmt() definition can be dropped. Note that this removes the "dasd: " prefix from the one pr_info() call in dasd_init(). However, the log message already provides all relevant information.

PRINTK_HEADER was mainly used to prefix log messages with the module name. Most components don't use this definition anymore. Either because there are no log messages being generated anymore, or pr_*() were replaced by dev_*(), which contains device and component information already. PRINTK_HEADER is also dropped in the function dasd_3990_erp_handle_match_erp() in dasd_3990_erp.c from a panic() call as panic() already provides all relevant information. KMSG_COMPONENT was mainly used to identify a component in a long gone kernel message catalog feature. Remove both definition since they're either not used or alternatives make the code slightly shorter and more readable.

To reduce the information required for the string generation in the sense dump functions, use the more concise dev_err() variant over printk(KERN_ERR, ...) to improve code readability. The dev_err() function provides the component and device name for free and the separate dev_name() calls as well as the PRINTK_HEADER can be dropped. Dropping PRINTK_HEADER removes the "dasd(eckd):" for all lines. Only the first line of a dev_err() call is prefixed with the component and device (e.g. "dasd-eckd 0.0.95d0:"). The format specifier for printed pointers is also changed to unhashed (%px) as this can help with debugging and servicing.

Mark the task as having a cached timestamp when set assign it, so we can efficiently check if it needs updating post being scheduled back in.

Querying the current time is the most costly thing we do in the block layer per IO, and depending on kernel config settings, we may do it many times per IO. None of the callers actually need nsec granularity. Take advantage of that by caching the current time in the plug, with the assumption here being that any time checking will be temporally close enough that the slight loss of precision doesn't matter. If the block plug gets flushed, eg on preempt or schedule out, then we invalidate the cached clock. On a basic peak IOPS test case with iostats enabled, this changes the performance from: IOPS=108.41M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31 IOPS=108.43M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=108.29M, BW=52.88GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32 IOPS=108.35M, BW=52.91GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=108.42M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31 IOPS=108.40M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=108.31M, BW=52.89GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 to IOPS=118.79M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32 IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31 IOPS=118.80M, BW=58.01GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=118.78M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=118.69M, BW=57.95GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=118.63M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32 which is more than a 9% improvement in performance. Looking at perf diff, we can see a huge reduction in time overhead: 10.55% -9.88% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] read_tsc 1.31% -1.22% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ktime_get Note that since this relies on blk_plug for the caching, it's only applicable to the issue side. But this is where most of the time calls happen anyway. On the completion side, cached time stamping is done with struct io_comp patch, as long as the driver supports it. It's also worth noting that the above testing doesn't enable any of the higher cost CPU items on the block layer side, like wbt, cgroups, iocost, etc, which all would add additional time querying and hence overhead. IOW, results would likely look even better in comparison with those enabled, as distros would do.

Convert any user of ktime_get_ns() to use blk_time_get_ns(), and ktime_get() to blk_time_get(), so we have a unified API for querying the current time in nanoseconds or as ktime. No functional changes intended, this patch just wraps ktime_get_ns() and ktime_get() with a block helper.

In preparation for moving time keeping into blk.h, move the cgroup related code for timestamps in here too. This will help avoid a circular dependency, and also moves it into a more appropriate header as this one is private to the block layer code. Leave struct bio_issue in blk_types.h as it's a proper time definition. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

Share the main merge / split / integrity preparation code between the cached request vs newly allocated request cases, and add comments explaining the cached request handling.

Add a new helper to check if there is suitable cached request in blk_mq_submit_bio. This removes open coded logic in blk_mq_submit_bio and moves some checks that so far are in blk_mq_use_cached_rq to be performed earlier. This avoids the case where we first do check with the cached request but then later end up allocating a new one anyway and need to grab a queue reference.

blk_mq_attempt_bio_merge has nothing to do with allocating a new request, it avoids allocating a new request. Move the call out of blk_mq_get_new_requests and into the only caller.
