Currently xen-blkfront set the max discard limit to the capacity of the device, which is suboptimal when the capacity changes. Just set it to UINT_MAX, which has the same effect and is simpler.

The logic in blk_mq_complete_need_ipi() assumes SMP systems where all CPUs have equal compute capacities and only LLC cache can make a different on perceived performance. But this assumption falls apart on HMP systems where LLC is shared, but the CPUs have different capacities. Staying local then can have a big performance impact if the IO request was done from a CPU with higher capacity but the interrupt is serviced on a lower capacity CPU. Use the new cpus_equal_capacity() function to check if we need to send an IPI. Without the patch I see the BLOCK softirq always running on little cores (where the hardirq is serviced). With it I can see it running on all cores. This was noticed after the topology change [1] where now on a big.LITTLE we truly get that the LLC is shared between all cores where as in the past it was being misrepresented for historical reasons. The logic exposed a missing dependency on capacities for such systems where there can be a big performance difference between the CPUs. This of course introduced a noticeable change in behavior depending on how the topology is presented. Leading to regressions in some workloads as the performance of the BLOCK softirq on littles can be noticeably worse on some platforms. Worth noting that we could have checked for capacities being greater than or equal instead for equality. This will lead to favouring higher performance always. But opted for equality instead to match the performance of the requester without making an assumption that can lead to power trade-offs which these systems tend to be sensitive about. If the requester would like to run faster, it's better to rely on the scheduler to give the IO requester via some facility to run on a faster core; and then if the interrupt triggered on a CPU with different capacity we'll make sure to match the performance the requester is supposed to run at.

The new helper function is needed to help blk-mq check if it needs to dispatch the softirq on another CPU to match the performance level the IO requester is running at. This is important on HMP systems where not all CPUs have the same compute capacity.

Some of these block operations can access a significant capacity and take longer than the user expected. A user may change their mind about wanting to run that command and attempt to kill the process and do something else with their device. But since the task is uninterruptable, they have to wait for it to finish, which could be many hours. Check for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to wait for their regretted operation to complete naturally.

'open_mutex' of gendisk is used to protect open/close block devices. But in bd_link_disk_holder(), it is used to protect the creation of symlink between holding disk and slave bdev, which introduces some issues. When bd_link_disk_holder() is called, the driver is usually in the process of initialization/modification and may suspend submitting io. At this time, any io hold 'open_mutex', such as scanning partitions, can cause deadlocks. For example, in raid: T1 T2 bdev_open_by_dev lock open_mutex [1] ... efi_partition ... md_submit_bio md_ioctl mddev_syspend -> suspend all io md_add_new_disk bind_rdev_to_array bd_link_disk_holder try lock open_mutex [2] md_handle_request -> wait mddev_resume T1 scan partition, T2 add a new device to raid. T1 waits for T2 to resume mddev, but T2 waits for open_mutex held by T1. Deadlock occurs. Fix it by introducing a local mutex 'blk_holder_mutex' to replace 'open_mutex'.

Device mapper may create a non-zoned mapped device out of a zoned device (e.g., the dm-zoned target). In such case, some queue limit such as the max_zone_append_sectors and zone_write_granularity endup being non zero values for a block device that is not zoned. Avoid this by clearing these limits in blk_stack_limits() when the stacked zoned limit is false.

The bio based I/O path complicates null_blk and also make various data structures, including the per-command one way bigger than required for the main request based interface. As the bio-based path is mostly used by stacking drivers and simple memory based drivers, and brd is a good example driver for the latter there is no need to have a bio based path in null_blk. Remove the path to simplify the driver and make future block layer API changes simpler by not having to deal with the complex two API setup in null_blk. Note that the queue_mode field in struct nullb_device is kept as that is simpler than having two different places to check the value and fully open coding the debugfs helpers as the existing ones won't work without a named struct member.
