0a11cc36f7 virtio_blk: remove nents member.
It's simply a flag as to whether we have data now, so make it an
explicit function parameter rather than a member of struct
virtblk_req.

20af3cfd20 virtio-blk: use virtqueue_add_sgs on req path
(This is a respin of Paolo Bonzini's patch, but it calls
virtqueue_add_sgs() instead of his multi-part API).

This is similar to the previous patch, but a bit more radical
because the bio and req paths now share the buffer construction
code.  Because the req path doesn't use vbr->sg, however, we
need to add a couple of arguments to __virtblk_add_req.

We also need to teach __virtblk_add_req how to build SCSI command
requests.

8f39db9d37 virtio-blk: use virtqueue_add_sgs on bio path
(This is a respin of Paolo Bonzini's patch, but it calls
virtqueue_add_sgs() instead of his multi-part API).

Move the creation of the request header and response footer to
__virtblk_add_req.  vbr->sg only contains the data scatterlist,
the header/footer are added separately using virtqueue_add_sgs().

With this change, virtio-blk (with use_bio) is not relying anymore on
the virtio functions ignoring the end markers in a scatterlist.
The next patch will do the same for the other path.

5ee21a52c0 virtio-blk: reorganize virtblk_add_req
Right now, both virtblk_add_req and virtblk_add_req_wait call
virtqueue_add_buf.  To prepare for the next patches, abstract the call
to virtqueue_add_buf into a new function __virtblk_add_req, and include
the waiting logic directly in virtblk_add_req.

9d9598b81c virtio-blk: emit udev event when device is resized
When virtio-blk device is resized from host (using block_resize from QEMU) emit
KOBJ_CHANGE uevent to notify guest about such change. This allows user to have
custom udev rules which would take whatever action if such event occurs. As a
proof of concept I've created simple udev rule that automatically resize
filesystem on virtio-blk device.

8d85fce77e Drivers: block: remove __dev* attributes.
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

f4953fe6c4 virtio-blk: Don't free ida when disk is in use
When a file system is mounted on a virtio-blk disk, we then remove it
and then reattach it, the reattached disk gets the same disk name and
ids as the hot removed one.

This leads to very nasty effects - mostly rendering the newly attached
device completely unusable.

Trying what happens when I do the same thing with a USB device, I saw
that the sd node simply doesn't get free'd when a device gets forcefully
removed.

Imitate the same behavior for vd devices. This way broken vd devices
simply are never free'd and newly attached ones keep working just fine.

bb8111086c virtio-blk: Disable callback in virtblk_done()
This reduces unnecessary interrupts that host could send to guest while
guest is in the progress of irq handling.

If one vcpu is handling the irq, while another interrupt comes, in
handle_edge_irq(), the guest will mask the interrupt via mask_msi_irq()
which is a very heavy operation that goes all the way down to host.

c85a1f91b3 virtio-blk: Add REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support to bio path
We need to support both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA for bio based path since
it does not get the sequencing of REQ_FUA into REQ_FLUSH that request
based drivers can request.

REQ_FLUSH is emulated by:
A) If the bio has no data to write:
1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device,
2. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio

B) If the bio has data to write:
1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device
2. In the flush I/O completion handler, send the actual write data to device
3. In the write I/O completion handler, finish the bio

REQ_FUA is emulated by:
1. Send the actual write data to device
2. In the write I/O completion handler, send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device
3. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio

Changes in v7:
- Using vbr->flags to trace request type
- Dropped unnecessary struct virtio_blk *vblk parameter
- Reuse struct virtblk_req in bio done function

Cahnges in v6:
- Reworked REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA emulatation order

a98755c559 virtio-blk: Add bio-based IO path for virtio-blk
This patch introduces bio-based IO path for virtio-blk.

Compared to request-based IO path, bio-based IO path uses driver
provided ->make_request_fn() method to bypasses the IO scheduler. It
handles the bio to device directly without allocating a request in block
layer. This reduces the IO path in guest kernel to achieve high IOPS
and lower latency. The downside is that guest can not use the IO
scheduler to merge and sort requests. However, this is not a big problem
if the backend disk in host side uses faster disk device.

When the bio-based IO path is not enabled, virtio-blk still uses the
original request-based IO path, no performance difference is observed.

Using a slow device e.g. normal SATA disk, the bio-based IO path for
sequential read and write are slower than req-based IO path due to lack
of merge in guest kernel. So we make the bio-based path optional.

Performance evaluation:

cd5d503862 virtio-blk: allow toggling host cache between writeback and writethrough
This patch adds support for the new VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE feature,
which exposes the cache mode in the configuration space and lets the
driver modify it.  The cache mode is exposed via sysfs.

Even if the host does not support the new feature, the cache mode is
visible (thanks to the existing VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCE), but not modifiable.

2c95a32909 virtio-blk: Use block layer provided spinlock
Block layer will allocate a spinlock for the queue if the driver does
not provide one in blk_init_queue().

The reason to use the internal spinlock is that blk_cleanup_queue() will
switch to use the internal spinlock in the cleanup code path.

        if (q->queue_lock != &q->__queue_lock)
                q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock;

However, processes which are in D state might have taken the driver
provided spinlock, when the processes wake up, they would release the
block provided spinlock.

=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
3.4.0-rc7+ #238 Not tainted
-------------------------------------
fio/3587 is trying to release lock (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock) at:
[<ffffffff813274d2>] blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380
but there are no more locks to release!

other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by fio/3587:
 #0:  (&(&vblk->lock)->rlock){......}, at:
[<ffffffff8132661a>] get_request_wait+0x19a/0x250

Other drivers use block layer provided spinlock as well, e.g. SCSI.

Switching to the block layer provided spinlock saves a bit of memory and
does not increase lock contention. Performance test shows no real
difference is observed before and after this patch.

Changes in v2: Improve commit log as Michael suggested.

483001c765 virtio-blk: Reset device after blk_cleanup_queue()
blk_cleanup_queue() will call blk_drian_queue() to drain all the
requests before queue DEAD marking. If we reset the device before
blk_cleanup_queue() the drain would fail.

1) if the queue is stopped in do_virtblk_request() because device is
full, the q->request_fn() will not be called.

blk_drain_queue() {
   while(true) {
      ...
      if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head))
        __blk_run_queue(q) {
	    if (queue is not stoped)
		q->request_fn()
	}
      ...
   }
}

Do no reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() gives the chance to
start the queue in interrupt handler blk_done().

2) In commit b79d866c8b, We abort requests
dispatched to driver before blk_cleanup_queue(). There is a race if
requests are dispatched to driver after the abort and before the queue
DEAD mark. To fix this, instead of aborting the requests explicitly, we
can just reset the device after after blk_cleanup_queue so that the
device can complete all the requests before queue DEAD marking in the
drain process.

02e2b12494 virtio-blk: Call del_gendisk() before disable guest kick
del_gendisk() might not return due to failing to remove the
/sys/block/vda/serial sysfs entry when another thread (udev) is
trying to read it.

virtblk_remove()
  vdev->config->reset() : guest will not kick us through interrupt
    del_gendisk()
      device_del()
        kobject_del(): got stuck, sysfs entry ref count non zero

           blk_execute_rq() : got stuck, interrupt is disabled
                              request cannot be finished

This patch fixes it by calling del_gendisk() before we disable guest's
interrupt so that the request sent in virtblk_serial_show() will be
finished and del_gendisk() will success.

This fixes another race in hot-unplug process.

It is save to call del_gendisk(vblk->disk) before
flush_work(&vblk->config_work) which might access vblk->disk, because
vblk->disk is not freed until put_disk(vblk->disk).

b79d866c8b virtio-blk: Fix hot-unplug race in remove method
If we reset the virtio-blk device before the requests already dispatched
to the virtio-blk driver from the block layer are finised, we will stuck
in blk_cleanup_queue() and the remove will fail.

blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_drain_queue() to drain all requests queued
before DEAD marking. However it will never success if the device is
already stopped. We'll have q->in_flight[] > 0, so the drain will not
finish.

How to reproduce the race:
1. hot-plug a virtio-blk device
2. keep reading/writing the device in guest
3. hot-unplug while the device is busy serving I/O

Test:
~1000 rounds of hot-plug/hot-unplug test passed with this patch.

Changes in v3:
- Drop blk_abort_queue and blk_abort_request
- Use __blk_end_request_all to complete request dispatched to driver

Changes in v2:
- Drop req_in_flight
- Use virtqueue_detach_unused_buf to get request dispatched to driver

 by David Gibson.
 
 There was some discussion about Ren's patch for virtio disc naming: some people
 wanted to move the legacy name mangling function to the block core.  But
 there's no concensus on that yet, and we can always deduplicate later.
 Added comments in the hope that this will stop people from
 copying this legacy naming scheme into future drivers.

c0aa3e0916 virtio_blk: helper function to format disk names
The current virtio block's naming algorithm just supports 18278
(26^3 + 26^2 + 26) disks. If there are more virtio blocks,
there will be disks with the same name.

Based on commit 3e1a7ff8a0, add
a function "virtblk_name_format()" for virtio block to support mass
of disks naming.

Notes:
- Our naming scheme is ugly. We are stuck with it
  for virtio but don't use it for any new driver:
  new drivers should name their devices PREFIX%d
  where the sequence number can be allocated by ida
- sd_format_disk_name has exactly the same logic.
  Moving it to a central place was deferred over worries
  that this will make people keep using the legacy naming
  in new drivers.
  We kept code idential in case someone wants to deduplicate later.

This seems to be happening as we update only part->nr_sects and not

4678d6f970 virtio_blk: fix config handler race
Fix a theoretical race related to config work
handler: a config interrupt might happen
after we flush config work but before we
reset the device. It will then cause the
config work to run during or after reset.

Two problems with this:
- if this runs after device is gone we will get use after free
- access of config while reset is in progress is racy
(as layout is changing).

As a solution
1. flush after reset when we know there will be no more interrupts
2. add a flag to disable config access before reset

ioctl command by itself, but only uses the generic scsi_cmd_ioctl
which is fine without the BKL.

02c42b7a68 virtio_blk: drop REQ_HARDBARRIER support
Remove now unused REQ_HARDBARRIER support.  virtio_blk already
supports REQ_FLUSH and the usefulness of REQ_FUA for virtio_blk is
questionable at this point, so there's nothing else to do to support
new REQ_FLUSH/FUA interface.

4913efe456 block: deprecate barrier and replace blk_queue_ordered() with blk_queue_flush()
Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests.  Deprecate barrier.  All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().

blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA.  If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH.  If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.

All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.

* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

15fa6e8165 virtio_blk: add default case to cmd type switch
On compilation, gcc correctly detects that we do not handle
all types:

In function ‘blk_done’:
warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_FS’ not handled in switch
warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_SENSE’ not handled in switch
warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_PM_SUSPEND’ not handled in switch
warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME’ not handled in switch
warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_PM_SHUTDOWN’ not handled in switch
warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_LINUX_BLOCK’ not handled in switch
warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE’ not handled in switch
warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC’ not handled in switch

which is a bit pointless since this is at the end of the request
processessing. Add a default case that just breaks out.

a5eb9e4ff1 virtio_blk: Add 'serial' attribute to virtio-blk devices (v2)
Create a new attribute for virtio-blk devices that will fetch the serial number
of the block device.  This attribute can be used by udev to create disk/by-id
symlinks for devices that don't have a UUID (filesystem) associated with them.

ATA_IDENTIFY strings are special in that they can be up to 20 chars long
and aren't required to be nul-terminated.  The buffer is also zero-padded
meaning that if the serial is 19 chars or less that we get a nul-terminated
string.  When copying this value into a string buffer, we must be careful to
copy up to the nul (if it present) and only 20 if it is longer and not to
attempt to nul terminate; this isn't needed.

Changes since v1:
- Added BUILD_BUG_ON() for PAGE_SIZE check
- Removed min() since BUILD_BUG_ON() handles the check
- Replaced serial_sysfs() by copying id directly to buffer

10bc310c27 virtio_blk: support barriers without FLUSH feature
If we want to support barriers with the cache=writethrough mode in qemu
we need to tell the block layer that we only need queue drains to
implement a barrier.  Follow the model set by SCSI and IDE and assume
that there is no volatile write cache if the host doesn't advertize it.
While this might imply working barriers on old qemu versions or other
hypervisors that actually have a volatile write cache this is only a
cosmetic issue - these hypervisors don't guarantee any data integrity
with or without this patch, but with the patch we at least provide
data ordering.
