This is a resend of my series of patches working
towards removing the bioset work queues.
This set is based on for-4.13/block.
It incorporates the revised versions of all the patches that were
resent following feedback on the last set.
It also includes a minor grammatic improvement to a comment, and
simple changes to compensate for a couple of changes to the block tree
since the last posting.
I hope to eventually get rid of the new BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag,
but that needs work in dm and probably bcache first.
Thanks,
NeilBrown

NeilBrown (13):
blk: remove bio_set arg from blk_queue_split()
blk: replace bioset_create_nobvec() with a flags arg to bioset_create()
blk: make the bioset rescue_workqueue optional.
blk: use non-rescuing bioset for q->bio_split.
block: Improvements to bounce-buffer handling
rbd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()
drbd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()
pktcdvd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()
lightnvm/pblk-read: use bio_clone_fast()
xen-blkfront: remove bio splitting.
bcache: use kmalloc to allocate bio in bch_data_verify()
block: remove bio_clone() and all references.
block: don't check for BIO_MAX_PAGES in blk_bio_segment_split()

Signature
blk_queue_split() is always called with the last arg being q->bio_split,
where 'q' is the first arg.
Also blk_queue_split() sometimes uses the passed-in 'bs' and sometimes uses
q->bio_split.
This is inconsistent and unnecessary. Remove the last arg and always use
q->bio_split inside blk_queue_split()

"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow
easy extensibility.
bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in
flags passed to __bioset_create().
To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the
API.
i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard
bioset_create_nobvec().
Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need
the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().

A rescuing bioset is only useful if there might be bios from
that same bioset on the bio_list_on_stack queue at a time
when bio_alloc_bioset() is called. This never applies to
q->bio_split.
Allocations from q->bio_split are only ever made from
blk_queue_split() which is only ever called early in each of
various make_request_fn()s. The original bio (call this A)
is then passed to generic_make_request() and is placed on
the bio_list_on_stack queue, and the bio that was allocated
from q->bio_split (B) is processed.
The processing of this may cause other bios to be passed to
generic_make_request() or may even cause the bio B itself to
be passed, possible after some prefix has been split off
(using some other bioset).
generic_make_request() now guarantees that all of these bios
(B and dependants) will be fully processed before the tail
of the original bio A gets handled. None of these early bios
can possible trigger an allocation from the original
q->bio_split as they are either too small to require
splitting or (more likely) are destined for a different queue.
The next time that the original q->bio_split might be used
by this thread is when A is processed again, as it might
still be too big to handle directly. By this time there
cannot be any other bios allocated from q->bio_split in the
generic_make_request() queue. So no rescuing will ever be
needed.

This patch converts bioset_create() to not create a workqueue by
default, so alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer(). It
also introduces a new flag BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER which tells
bioset_create() to preserve the old behavior.
All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers,
are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag.
biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not
need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other
bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool,
btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by
target_core_iblock.c.
biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as
their usage was recently audited and revised to never
risk deadlock.
It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets
can end up being the non-rescued version.

Since commit 23688bf4f830 ("block: ensure to split after potentially
bouncing a bio") blk_queue_bounce() is called *before*
blk_queue_split().
This means that:
1/ the comments blk_queue_split() about bounce buffers are
irrelevant, and
2/ a very large bio (more than BIO_MAX_PAGES) will no longer be
split before it arrives at blk_queue_bounce(), leading to the
possibility that bio_clone_bioset() will fail and a NULL
will be dereferenced.
Separately, blk_queue_bounce() shouldn't use fs_bio_set as the bio
being copied could be from the same set, and this could lead to a
deadlock.
So:
- allocate 2 private biosets for blk_queue_bounce, one for
splitting enormous bios and one for cloning bios.
- add code to split a bio that exceeds BIO_MAX_PAGES.
- Fix up the comments in blk_queue_split()

drbd does not modify the bi_io_vec of the cloned bio,
so there is no need to clone that part. So bio_clone_fast()
is the better choice.
For bio_clone_fast() we need to specify a bio_set.
We could use fs_bio_set, which bio_clone() uses, or
drbd_md_io_bio_set, which drbd uses for metadata, but it is
generally best to avoid sharing bio_sets unless you can
be certain that there are no interdependencies.
So create a new bio_set, drbd_io_bio_set, and use bio_clone_fast().
Also remove a "XXX cannot fail ???" comment because it definitely
cannot fail - bio_clone_fast() doesn't fail if the GFP flags allow for
sleeping.

bio_clone() makes a copy of the bi_io_vec, but rbd never changes that,
so there is no need for a copy.
bio_clone_fast() can be used instead, which avoids making the copy.
This requires that we provide a bio_set. bio_clone() uses fs_bio_set,
but it isn't, in general, safe to use the same bio_set at different
levels of the stack, as that can lead to deadlocks. As filesystems
use fs_bio_set, block devices shouldn't.
As rbd never stacks, it is safe to have a single global bio_set for
all rbd devices to use. So allocate that when the module is
initialised, and use it with bio_clone_fast().

pktcdvd doesn't change the bi_io_vec of the clone bio,
so it is more efficient to use bio_clone_fast(), and not clone
the bi_io_vec.
This requires providing a bio_set, and it is safest to
provide a dedicated bio_set rather than sharing
fs_bio_set, which filesytems use.
This new bio_set, pkt_bio_set, can also be use for the bio_split()
call as the two allocations (bio_clone_fast, and bio_split) are
independent, neither can block a bio allocated by the other.

MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Packet writing layer for CD/DVD drives");
pblk_submit_read() uses bio_clone_bioset() but doesn't change the
io_vec, so bio_clone_fast() is a better choice.
It also uses fs_bio_set which is intended for filesystems. Using it
in a device driver can deadlock.
So allocate a new bioset, and and use bio_clone_fast().

blk_bio_segment_split() makes sure bios have no more than
BIO_MAX_PAGES entries in the bi_io_vec.
This was done because bio_clone_bioset() (when given a
mempool bioset) could not handle larger io_vecs.
No driver uses bio_clone_bioset() any more, they all
use bio_clone_fast() if anything, and bio_clone_fast()
doesn't clone the bi_io_vec.
The main user of of bio_clone_bioset() at this level
is bounce.c, and bouncing now happens before blk_bio_segment_split(),
so that is not of concern.
So remove the big helpful comment and the code.

bio_clone() is no longer used.
Only bio_clone_bioset() or bio_clone_fast().
This is for the best, as bio_clone() used fs_bio_set,
and filesystems are unlikely to want to use bio_clone().
So remove bio_clone() and all references.
This includes a fix to some incorrect documentation.

This function allocates a bio, then a collection
of pages. It copes with failure.
It currently uses a mempool() to allocate the bio,
but alloc_page() to allocate the pages. These fail
in different ways, so the usage is inconsistent.
Change the bio_clone() to bio_clone_kmalloc()
so that no pool is used either for the bio or the pages.

I missed this line of work until now. Not quite sure why I wasn't
cc'd or my review/ack required for the DM changes in this patchset.
But I've now queued this patch for once Linus gets back (reverts DM
changes from commit 47e0fb461f):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=for-next&id=c9fdc42ba23eabd1ba7aef199fb9bb4b4fe5c545
As is, it is my understanding that DM has no need for a bio_set's
rescue_workqueue. So its removal would appear to only be gated by
bcache?
But I could be mistaken, moving forward please let me know what you
feel needs doing in DM to make it a better citizen.
Thanks,
Mike
