48c0d4d4c0 Add missing blk_trace_remove_sysfs to be in pair with blk_trace_init_sysfs
Add missing blk_trace_remove_sysfs to be in pair with blk_trace_init_sysfs
introduced in commit 1d54ad6da9.
Release kobject also in case the request_fn is NULL.

Problem was noticed via kmemleak backtrace when some sysfs entries were

b8a9ae779f block: don't assume device has a request list backing in nr_requests store
Stacked devices do not. For now, just error out with -EINVAL. Later
we could make the limit apply on stacked devices too, for throttling
reasons.

This fixes

c295fc0578 block: Allow changing max_sectors_kb above the default 512
The patch "block: Use accessor functions for queue limits"
(ae03bf639a) changed queue_max_sectors_store()
to use blk_queue_max_sectors() instead of directly assigning the value.

But blk_queue_max_sectors() differs a bit
1. It sets both max_sectors_kb, and max_hw_sectors_kb
2. Never allows one to change max_sectors_kb above BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. If one
specifies a value greater then max_hw_sectors is set to that value but
max_sectors is set to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS

I am not sure whether blk_queue_max_sectors() should be changed, as it seems
to be that way for a long time. And there may be callers dependent on that
behaviour.

This patch simply reverts to the older way of directly assigning the value to
max_sectors as it was before.

9cb308ce8d block: sysfs fix mismatched queue_var_{store,show} in 64bit kernel
In blk-sysfs.c, queue_var_store uses unsigned long to store data,
but queue_var_show uses unsigned int to show data.  This causes,

	# echo 70000000000 > /sys/block/<dev>/queue/read_ahead_kb
	# cat /sys/block/<dev>/queue/read_ahead_kb => get wrong value

Fix it by using unsigned long.

While at it, convert queue_rq_affinity_show() such that it uses bool
variable instead of explicit != 0 testing.

c72758f337 block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitions
To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment.  This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.

  logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.

  physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
  without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.

  The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
  the device.  In many cases this is the same as the physical block
  size.  However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
  (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).

  The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
  the device.  This is usually the stripe width for arrays.

  The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
  of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
  Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
  so filesystems start on proper boundaries.

cd43e26f07 block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfs
Currently stacking devices do not have a queue directory in sysfs.
However, many of the I/O characteristics like sector size, maximum
request size, etc. are queue properties.

This patch enables the queue directory for MD/DM devices.  The elevator
code has been modified to deal with queues that do not have an I/O
scheduler.

e1defc4ff0 block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

1d54ad6da9 blktrace: add trace/ to /sys/block/sda
Impact: allow ftrace-plugin blktrace to trace device-mapper devices

To trace a single partition:
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/enable

To trace the whole sda instead:
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/enable

Thus we also fix an issue reported by Ted, that ftrace-plugin blktrace
can't be used to trace device-mapper devices.

Now:

  # echo 1 > /sys/block/dm-0/trace/enable
  echo: write error: No such device or address
  # mount -t ext4 /dev/dm-0 /mnt
  # echo 1 > /sys/block/dm-0/trace/enable
  # echo blk > /debug/tracing/current_tracer

c7c22e4d5c block: add support for IO CPU affinity
This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
(bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
for completion on that specific CPU.

In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.

This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only
work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp
helper infrastructure.

ac9fafa124 block: Skip I/O merges when disabled
The block I/O + elevator + I/O scheduler code spend a lot of time trying
to merge I/Os -- rightfully so under "normal" circumstances. However,
if one were to know that the incoming I/O stream was /very/ random in
nature, the cycles are wasted.

This patch adds a per-request_queue tunable that (when set) disables
merge attempts (beyond the simple one-hit cache check), thus freeing up
a non-trivial amount of CPU cycles.

fb19974630 block: fix blk_register_queue() return value
blk_register_queue() returns -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL.  But there
are some block drivers that call blk_register_queue() via add_disk() with
queue->request_fn == NULL.  (For example, brd, loop)

Although no one checks return value of blk_register_queue(), this patch makes
it return 0 instead of -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL,

Also this patch adds warning when blk_register_queue() and
blk_unregister_queue() are called with queue == NULL rather than ignore
invalid usage silently.
