do_div() (called by sector_div() if CONFIG_LBDAF=y) is meant for divisions
of 64-bit number by 32-bit numbers. Passing 64-bit divisor types caused
issues in the past on 32-bit platforms, cfr. commit
ea077b1b96e073eac5c3c5590529e964767fc5f7 ("m68k: Truncate base in
do_div()").
As queue_limits.max_discard_sectors and .discard_granularity are unsigned
int, max_discard_sectors and granularity should be unsigned int.
As bdev_discard_alignment() returns int, alignment should be int.
Now 2 calls to sector_div() can be replaced by 32-bit arithmetic:
- The 64-bit modulo operation can become a 32-bit modulo operation,
- The 64-bit division and multiplication can be replaced by a 32-bit
modulo operation and a subtraction.

Using wait_for_completion() for waiting for a IO request to be executed
results in wrong iowait time accounting. For example, a system having
the only task doing write() and fdatasync() on a block device can be
reported being idle instead of iowaiting as it should because
blkdev_issue_flush() calls wait_for_completion() which in turn calls
schedule() that does not increment the iowait proc counter and thus does
not turn on iowait time accounting.
The patch makes block layer use wait_for_completion_io() instead of
wait_for_completion() where appropriate to account iowait time
correctly.

Last post of this patch appears lost, so I resend this.
Now discard merge works, add plug for blkdev_issue_discard. This will help
discard request merge especially for raid0 case. In raid0, a big discard
request is split to small requests, and if correct plug is added, such small
requests can be merged in low layer.

The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same
block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a
single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device
writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O.
This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The
blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block
drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to
efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc.

When a disk has large discard_granularity and small max_discard_sectors,
discards are not split with optimal alignment. In the limit case of
discard_granularity == max_discard_sectors, no request could be aligned
correctly, so in fact you might end up with no discarded logical blocks
at all.
Another example that helps showing the condition in the patch is with
discard_granularity == 64, max_discard_sectors == 128. A request that is
submitted for 256 sectors 2..257 will be split in two: 2..129, 130..257.
However, only 2 aligned blocks out of 3 are included in the request;
128..191 may be left intact and not discarded. With this patch, the
first request will be truncated to ensure good alignment of what's left,
and the split will be 2..127, 128..255, 256..257. The patch will also
take into account the discard_alignment.
At most one extra request will be introduced, because the first request
will be reduced by at most granularity-1 sectors, and granularity
must be less than max_discard_sectors. Subsequent requests will run
on round_down(max_discard_sectors, granularity) sectors, as in the
current code.

Due to the recently identified overflow in read_capacity_16() it was
possible for max_discard_sectors to be zero but still have discards
enabled on the associated device's queue.
Eliminate the possibility for blkdev_issue_discard to infinitely loop.
Interestingly this issue wasn't identified until a device, whose
discard_granularity was 0 due to read_capacity_16 overflow, was consumed
by blk_stack_limits() to construct limits for a higher-level DM
multipath device. The multipath device's resulting limits never had the
discard limits stacked because blk_stack_limits() will only do so if
the bottom device's discard_granularity != 0. This resulted in the
multipath device's limits.max_discard_sectors being 0.

Currently we return -EOPNOTSUPP in blkdev_issue_discard() if any of the
bio fails due to underlying device not supporting discard request.
However, if the device is for example dm device composed of devices
which some of them support discard and some of them does not, it is ok
for some bios to fail with EOPNOTSUPP, but it does not mean that discard
is not supported at all.
This commit removes the check for bios failed with EOPNOTSUPP and change
blkdev_issue_discard() to return operation not supported if and only if
the device does not actually supports it, not just part of the device as
some bios might indicate.
This change also fixes problem with BLKDISCARD ioctl() which now works
correctly on such dm devices.

In blkdev_issue_zeroout() we are submitting regular WRITE bios, so we do
not need to check for -EOPNOTSUPP specifically in case of error. Also
there is no need to have label submit: because there is no way to jump
out from the while cycle without an error and we really want to exit,
rather than try again. And also remove the check for (sz == 0) since at
that point sz can never be zero.

Currently we are waiting for every submitted REQ_DISCARD bio separately,
but it can have unwanted consequences of repeatedly flushing the queue,
so we rather submit bios in batches and wait for the entire batch, hence
narrowing the window of other ios going in.
Use bio_batch_end_io() and struct bio_batch for that purpose, the same
is used by blkdev_issue_zeroout(). Also change bio_batch_end_io() so we
always set !BIO_UPTODATE in the case of error and remove the check for
bb, since we are the only user of this function and we always set this.
Remove bio_get()/bio_put() from the blkdev_issue_discard() since
bio_alloc() and bio_batch_end_io() is doing the same thing, hence it is
not needed anymore.
I have done simple dd testing with surprising results. The script I have
used is:
for i in $(seq 10); do
echo $i
dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/sdc1 bs=4k &
sleep 5
done
/usr/bin/time -f %e ./blkdiscard /dev/sdc1
Running time of BLKDISCARD on the whole device:
with patch without patch
0.95 15.58
So we can see that in this artificial test the kernel with the patch
applied is approx 16x faster in discarding the device.

BZ29402
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29402
We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of
blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic.
The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of
submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition()
and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for.
However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is
calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At
this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait),
bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in
blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic!
(thread 1) (thread 2)
bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout()
if(bb) { ...
if (bb->end_io) ...
bb->end_io(bio, err); ...
atomic_inc(&bb->done); ...
... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done))
... (let issued == bb.done)
... (do the rest of the function)
... return ret;
complete(bb->wait);
^^^^^^^^
panic
We can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting.
Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.

All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

If the queue doesn't have a limit set, or it just set UINT_MAX like
we default to, we coud be sending down a discard request that isn't
of the correct granularity if the block size is > 512b.

alignment.

Allocating a fixed payload for discard requests always was a horrible hack,
and it's not coming to byte us when adding support for discard in DM/MD.
So change the code to leave the allocation of a payload to the lowlevel
driver. Unfortunately that means we'll need another hack, which allows
us to update the various block layer length fields indicating that we
have a payload. Instead of hiding this in sd.c, which we already partially
do for UNMAP support add a documented helper in the core block layer for it.
