blk-mq: decouble blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing
blk_mq freezing is entangled with generic bypassing which bypasses blkcg and io scheduler and lets IO requests fall through the block layer to the drivers in FIFO order. This allows forward progress on IOs with the advanced features disabled so that those features can be configured or altered without worrying about stalling IO which may lead to deadlock through memory allocation. However, generic bypassing doesn't quite fit blk-mq. blk-mq currently doesn't make use of blkcg or ioscheds and it maps bypssing to freezing, which blocks request processing and drains all the in-flight ones. This causes problems as bypassing assumes that request processing is online. blk-mq works around this by conditionally allowing request processing for the problem case - during queue initialization. Another weirdity is that except for during queue cleanup, bypassing started on the generic side prevents blk-mq from processing new requests but doesn't drain the in-flight ones. This shouldn't break anything but again highlights that something isn't quite right here. The root cause is conflating blk-mq freezing and generic bypassing which are two different mechanisms. The only intersecting purpose that they serve is during queue cleanup. Let's properly separate blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing and simply use it where necessary. * request_queue->mq_freeze_depth is added and blk_mq_[un]freeze_queue() now operate on this counter instead of ->bypass_depth. The replacement for QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS isn't added but the counter is tested directly. This will be further updated by later changes. * blk_mq_drain_queue() is dropped and "__" prefix is dropped from blk_mq_freeze_queue(). Queue cleanup path now calls blk_mq_freeze_queue() directly. * blk_queue_enter()'s fast path condition is simplified to simply check @q->mq_freeze_depth. Previously, the condition was !blk_queue_dying(q) && (!blk_queue_bypass(q) || !blk_queue_init_done(q)) mq_freeze_depth is incremented right after dying is set and blk_queue_init_done() exception isn't necessary as blk-mq doesn't start frozen, which only leaves the blk_queue_bypass() test which can be replaced by @q->mq_freeze_depth test. This change simplifies the code and reduces confusion in the area. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Nicholas A.
