Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] blk-mq: optimize the size of struct request

From: Chengming Zhou <[email protected]>

v3:
- Collect Reviewed-by tags from Ming and Christoph. Thanks!
- Remove the list and csd variables which are only used once.
- Fix a bug report of blktests nvme/012 by re-initialization of
rq->queuelist, which maybe corrupted by rq->rq_next reuse.
- [v2] https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

v2:
- Change to use call_single_data_t, which use __aligned() to avoid
to use 2 cache lines for 1 csd. Thanks Ming Lei.

Hello,

After the commit be4c427809b0 ("blk-mq: use the I/O scheduler for
writes from the flush state machine"), rq->flush can't reuse rq->elv
anymore, since flush_data requests can go into io scheduler now.

That increased the size of struct request by 24 bytes, but this
patchset can decrease the size by 40 bytes, which is good I think.

patch 1 is just cleanup by the way.

patch 2 use percpu csd to do remote complete instead of per-rq csd,
decrease the size by 24 bytes.

patch 3-4 reuse rq->queuelist in flush state machine pending list,
and maintain unsigned long counter of inflight flush_data requests,
decrease the size by 16 bytes.

Thanks for comments!
