Subject: [PATCH V4] block: fix the DISCARD request merge
Date:   Fri, 26 Oct 2018 17:28:36 +0800
Message-Id: <1540546116-1620-1-git-send-email-jianchao.w.wang@oracle.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

There are two cases when handle DISCARD merge.
If max_discard_segments == 1, the bios/requests need to be contiguous
to merge. If max_discard_segments > 1, it takes every bio as a range
and different range needn't to be contiguous.

But now, attempt_merge screws this up. It always consider contiguity
for DISCARD for the case max_discard_segments > 1 and cannot merge
contiguous DISCARD for the case max_discard_segments == 1, because
rq_attempt_discard_merge always returns false in this case.
This patch fixes both of the two cases above.

V4:
 - introduce blk_try_req_merge as suggestion of Christoph.

V3:
 - Introduce blk_discard_mergable into attempt_merge and
   blk_try_merge.
 - Some comment changes.

V2:
 - Add max_discard_segments > 1 checking in attempt_merge.
 - Change patch title and comment.
 - Add more comment in attempt_merge
