nvme_kill_queues does two things: 1) mark the gendisk of all namespaces dead 2) unquiesce all I/O queues These used to be be intertwined due to block layer issues, but aren't any more. So move the unquiscing of the I/O queues into the callers, and rename the rest of the function to the now more descriptive nvme_mark_namespaces_dead.

None of the callers of nvme_kill_queues needs it to unquiesce the admin queues, as all of them already do it themselves: 1) nvme_reset_work explicit call nvme_start_admin_queue toward the beginning of the function. The extra call to nvme_start_admin_queue in nvme_reset_work this won't do anything as NVME_CTRL_ADMIN_Q_STOPPED will already be cleared. 2) nvme_remove calls nvme_dev_disable with shutdown flag set to true at the very beginning of the function if the PCIe device was not present, which is the precondition for the call to nvme_kill_queues. nvme_dev_disable already calls nvme_start_admin_queue toward the end of the function when the shutdown flag is set to true, so the admin queue is already enabled at this point. 3) nvme_remove_dead_ctrl schedules a workqueue to unbind the driver, which will end up in nvme_remove, which calls nvme_dev_disable with the shutdown flag. This case will call nvme_start_admin_queue a bit later than before. 4) apple_nvme_remove uses the same sequence as nvme_remove_dead_ctrl above. 5) nvme_remove_namespaces only calls nvme_kill_queues when the controller is in the DEAD state. That can only happen in the PCIe driver, and only from nvme_remove. See item 2) above for the conditions there. So it is safe to just remove the call to nvme_start_admin_queue in nvme_kill_queues without replacement.

The NVME_NS_DEAD check only made sense when we revalidated namespaces in nvme_passthrough_end for commands that affected the namespace inventory. These days NVME_NS_DEAD is only set during reset or when tearing down namespaces, and we always remove all namespaces right after that.

nvme and xen-blkfront are already doing this to stop buffered writes from creating dirty pages that can't be written out later. Move it to the common code. This also removes the comment about the ordering from nvme, as bd_mutex not only is gone entirely, but also hasn't been used for locking updates to the disk size long before that, and thus the ordering requirement documented there doesn't apply any more.

Currently, bfq can't handle sync io concurrently as long as they are not issued from root group. This is because 'bfqd->num_groups_with_pending_reqs > 0' is always true in bfq_asymmetric_scenario(). The way that bfqg is counted into 'num_groups_with_pending_reqs': Before this patch: 1) root group will never be counted. 2) Count if bfqg or it's child bfqgs have pending requests. 3) Don't count if bfqg and it's child bfqgs complete all the requests. After this patch: 1) root group is counted. 2) Count if bfqg have pending requests. 3) Don't count if bfqg complete all the requests. With this change, the occasion that only one group is activated can be detected, and next patch will support concurrent sync io in the occasion.

The calling relationship in blk_mq_destroy_queue() is as follows: blk_mq_destroy_queue() ... -> blk_queue_start_drain() -> blk_freeze_queue_start() <- called ... -> blk_freeze_queue() -> blk_freeze_queue_start() <- called again -> blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() ... So there is a redundant call to blk_freeze_queue_start(). Replace blk_freeze_queue() with blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() to avoid the redundant call.

David Jeffery authored
David Jeffery found one double ->queue_rq() issue, so far it can be triggered in VM use case because of long vmexit latency or preempt latency of vCPU pthread or long page fault in vCPU pthread, then block IO req could be timed out before queuing the request to hardware but after calling blk_mq_start_request() during ->queue_rq(), then timeout handler may handle it by requeue, then double ->queue_rq() is caused, and kernel panic. So far, it is driver's responsibility to cover the race between timeout and completion, so it seems supposed to be solved in driver in theory, given driver has enough knowledge. But it is really one common problem, lots of driver could have similar issue, and could be hard to fix all affected drivers, even it isn't easy for driver to handle the race. So David suggests this patch by draining in-progress ->queue_rq() for solving this issue.

Jinlong Chen authored
The current reference management logic of io scheduler modules contains refcnt problems. For example, blk_mq_init_sched may fail before or after the calling of e->ops.init_sched. If it fails before the calling, it does nothing to the reference to the io scheduler module. But if it fails after the calling, it releases the reference by calling kobject_put(&eq->kobj). As the callers of blk_mq_init_sched can't know exactly where the failure happens, they can't handle the reference to the io scheduler module properly: releasing the reference on failure results in double-release if blk_mq_init_sched has released it, and not releasing the reference results in ghost reference if blk_mq_init_sched did not release it either. The same problem also exists in io schedulers' init_sched implementations. We can address the problem by adding releasing statements to the error handling procedures of blk_mq_init_sched and init_sched implementations. But that is counterintuitive and requires modifications to existing io schedulers. Instead, We make elevator_alloc get the io scheduler module references that will be released by elevator_release. And then, we match each elevator_get with an elevator_put. Therefore, each reference to an io scheduler module explicitly has its own getter and releaser, and we no longer need to worry about the refcnt problems.
