For most of ARCHs, 'nr_cpus=1' is passed for kdump kernel, so
nr_hw_queues for each mapping is supposed to be 1 already.
More importantly, this way may cause trouble for driver, because blk-mq and
driver see different queue mapping since driver should setup hardware
queue setting before calling into allocating blk-mq tagset.
So not overriding nr_hw_queues and nr_maps for kdump kernel.

We just need to use the holder to indicate whether a block device open
was exclusive or not. We did use to do that before but had to give that
up once we switched to struct bdev_handle. Before struct bdev_handle we
only stashed stuff in file->private_data if this was an exclusive open
but after struct bdev_handle we always set file->private_data to a
struct bdev_handle and so we had to use bdev_handle->mode or
bdev_handle->holder. Now that we don't use struct bdev_handle anymore we
can revert back to the old behavior.

This may run from a kernel thread via device_add_disk(). So this could
also use __fput_sync() if we were worried about EBUSY. But when it is
called from a kernel thread it's always BLK_OPEN_READ so EBUSY can't
really happen even if we do BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES or BLK_OPEN_EXCL.
Otherwise it's called from an ioctl on the block device which is only
called from userspace and can rely on task work.

Add two new helpers to allow opening block devices as files.
This is not the final infrastructure. This still opens the block device
before opening a struct a file. Until we have removed all references to
struct bdev_handle we can't switch the order:
* Introduce blk_to_file_flags() to translate from block specific to
flags usable to pen a new file.
* Introduce bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}().
* Introduce temporary sb_bdev_handle() helper to retrieve a struct
bdev_handle from a block device file and update places that directly
reference struct bdev_handle to rely on it.
* Don't count block device openes against the number of open files. A
bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}() file is never installed into any
file descriptor table.
One idea that came to mind was to use kernel_tmpfile_open() which
would require us to pass a path and it would then call do_dentry_open()
going through the regular fops->open::blkdev_open() path. But then we're
back to the problem of routing block specific flags such as
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES through the open path and would have to waste
FMODE_* flags every time we add a new one. With this we can avoid using
a flag bit and we have more leeway in how we open block devices from
bdev_open_by_{dev,path}().

The logic in blk_mq_complete_need_ipi() assumes SMP systems where all
CPUs have equal compute capacities and only LLC cache can make
a different on perceived performance. But this assumption falls apart on
HMP systems where LLC is shared, but the CPUs have different capacities.
Staying local then can have a big performance impact if the IO request
was done from a CPU with higher capacity but the interrupt is serviced
on a lower capacity CPU.
Use the new cpus_equal_capacity() function to check if we need to send
an IPI.
Without the patch I see the BLOCK softirq always running on little cores
(where the hardirq is serviced). With it I can see it running on all
cores.
This was noticed after the topology change [1] where now on a big.LITTLE
we truly get that the LLC is shared between all cores where as in the
past it was being misrepresented for historical reasons. The logic
exposed a missing dependency on capacities for such systems where there
can be a big performance difference between the CPUs.
This of course introduced a noticeable change in behavior depending on
how the topology is presented. Leading to regressions in some workloads
as the performance of the BLOCK softirq on littles can be noticeably
worse on some platforms.
Worth noting that we could have checked for capacities being greater
than or equal instead for equality. This will lead to favouring higher
performance always. But opted for equality instead to match the
performance of the requester without making an assumption that can lead
to power trade-offs which these systems tend to be sensitive about. If
the requester would like to run faster, it's better to rely on the
scheduler to give the IO requester via some facility to run on a faster
core; and then if the interrupt triggered on a CPU with different
capacity we'll make sure to match the performance the requester is
supposed to run at.

Some of these block operations can access a significant capacity and
take longer than the user expected. A user may change their mind about
wanting to run that command and attempt to kill the process and do
something else with their device. But since the task is uninterruptable,
they have to wait for it to finish, which could be many hours.
Check for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to
wait for their regretted operation to complete naturally.

'open_mutex' of gendisk is used to protect open/close block devices. But
in bd_link_disk_holder(), it is used to protect the creation of symlink
between holding disk and slave bdev, which introduces some issues.
When bd_link_disk_holder() is called, the driver is usually in the process
of initialization/modification and may suspend submitting io. At this
time, any io hold 'open_mutex', such as scanning partitions, can cause
deadlocks. For example, in raid:
T1 T2
bdev_open_by_dev
lock open_mutex [1]
...
efi_partition
...
md_submit_bio
md_ioctl mddev_syspend
-> suspend all io
md_add_new_disk
bind_rdev_to_array
bd_link_disk_holder
try lock open_mutex [2]
md_handle_request
-> wait mddev_resume
T1 scan partition, T2 add a new device to raid. T1 waits for T2 to resume
mddev, but T2 waits for open_mutex held by T1. Deadlock occurs.
Fix it by introducing a local mutex 'blk_holder_mutex' to replace
'open_mutex'.

The underflow itself doesn't really affect the behavior in any meaningful
way; however, the past timestamp may exaggerate the delay amount calculated
later in the code, which shouldn't be a material problem given the nature of
the delay mechanism.
If @now is in the past, this CPU is racing another CPU which recently set up
the delay and there's nothing this CPU can contribute w.r.t. the delay.
Let's bail early from iocg_kick_delay() in such cases.

The detection of dirty-throttled tasks in blk-wbt has been subtly broken
since its beginning in 2016. Namely if we are doing cgroup writeback and
the throttled task is not in the root cgroup, balance_dirty_pages() will
set dirty_sleep for the non-root bdi_writeback structure. However
blk-wbt checks dirty_sleep only in the root cgroup bdi_writeback
structure. Thus detection of recently throttled tasks is not working in
this case (we noticed this when we switched to cgroup v2 and suddently
writeback was slow).
Since blk-wbt has no easy way to get to proper bdi_writeback and
furthermore its intention has always been to work on the whole device
rather than on individual cgroups, just move the dirty_sleep timestamp
from bdi_writeback to backing_dev_info. That fixes the checking for
recently throttled task and saves memory for everybody as a bonus.

Restore support for passing data lifetime information from filesystems to
block drivers. This patch reverts commit b179c98f7697 ("block: Remove
request.write_hint") and commit c75e707fe1aa ("block: remove the
per-bio/request write hint").
This patch does not modify the size of struct bio because the new
bi_write_hint member fills a hole in struct bio. pahole reports the
following for struct bio on an x86_64 system with this patch applied:
/* size: 112, cachelines: 2, members: 20 */
/* sum members: 110, holes: 1, sum holes: 2 */
/* last cacheline: 48 bytes */

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.
This covers both the actual schedule out case, which would've flushed
the plug, and the preemption case which doesn't touch the plugged
requests (for many reasons, one of them being then we'd need to have
preemption disabled around plug state manipulation).

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.

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.
