After the SG_IO ioctl was copied into the block layer and
later into the bsg driver, subtle differences emerged.

One difference is the way injected commands are queued through
the block layer (i.e. this is not SCSI device queueing nor SATA
NCQ). Summarizing:
  - SG_IO on block layer device: blk_exec*(at_head=false)
  - sg device SG_IO: at_head=true
  - bsg device SG_IO: at_head=true

Some time ago Boaz Harrosh introduced a sg v4 flag called
BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL to override the bsg driver default. A
recent patch titled: "sg: add SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag"
allowed the sg driver default to be overridden. This patch
allows a SG_IO ioctl sent to a block layer device to have
its default overridden.

ChangeLog:
    - introduce SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD flag in sg.h to cause
      commands that are injected via a block layer
      device SG_IO ioctl to set at_head=true
    - make comments clearer about queueing in sg.h since the
      header is used both by the sg device and block layer
      device implementations of the SG_IO ioctl.
    - introduce BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD in bsg.h for compatibility
      (it does nothing) and update comments.

BLKSECTGET ioctl loads the request queue's max_sectors as unsigned
short value to the argument pointer.  So if the max_sector is greater
than USHRT_MAX, the upper 16 bits of that is just discarded.

In such case, USHRT_MAX is more preferable than the lower 16 bits of

Commit 08778795 ("block: Fix nr_vecs for inline integrity vectors") from
Martin introduces the function bip_integrity_vecs(get the useful vectors)
to fix the issue about nr_vecs for inline integrity vectors that reported
by David Milburn.

But it seems that bip_integrity_vecs() will return the wrong number if the
bio is not based on any bio_set for some reason(bio->bi_pool == NULL),
because in that case, the bip_inline_vecs[0] is malloced directly.  So
here we add the bip_max_vcnt to record the count of vector slots, and
cleanup the function bip_integrity_vecs().

Currently, blk-mq uses a percpu_counter to keep track of how many
usages are in flight.  The percpu_counter is drained while freezing to
ensure that no usage is left in-flight after freezing is complete.
blk_mq_queue_enter/exit() and blk_mq_[un]freeze_queue() implement this
per-cpu gating mechanism.

This type of code has relatively high chance of subtle bugs which are
extremely difficult to trigger and it's way too hairy to be open coded
in blk-mq.  percpu_ref can serve the same purpose after the recent
changes.  This patch replaces the open-coded per-cpu usage counting
and draining mechanism with percpu_ref.

blk_mq_queue_enter() performs tryget_live on the ref and exit()
performs put.  blk_mq_freeze_queue() kills the ref and waits until the
reference count reaches zero.  blk_mq_unfreeze_queue() revives the ref
and wakes up the waiters.

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.

Currently, both blk_queue_bypass_start() and blk_mq_freeze_queue()
skip queue draining if bypass_depth was already above zero.  The
assumption is that the one which bumped the bypass_depth should have
performed draining already; however, there's nothing which prevents a
new instance of bypassing/freezing from starting before the previous
one finishes draining.  The current code may allow the later
bypassing/freezing instances to complete while there still are
in-flight requests which haven't finished draining.

Fix it by draining regardless of bypass_depth.  We still skip draining
from blk_queue_bypass_start() while the queue is initializing to avoid
introducing excessive delays during boot.  INIT_DONE setting is moved
above the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() so that bypassing attempts
can't slip inbetween.

On the syscall tracing path, we call out to secure_computing() to allow
seccomp to check the syscall number being attempted. As part of this, a
SIGTRAP may be sent to the tracer and the syscall could be re-written by
a subsequent SET_SYSCALL ptrace request. Unfortunately, this new syscall
is ignored by the current code unless TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE is also set on
the current thread.

This patch slightly reworks the enter path of the syscall tracing code

When a PL310 cache is used on a system that provides hardware
coherency, the outer cache sync operation is useless, and can be
skipped. Moreover, on some systems, it is harmful as it causes
deadlocks between the Marvell coherency mechanism, the Marvell PCIe
controller and the Cortex-A9.

To avoid this, this commit introduces a new Device Tree property
'arm,io-coherent' for the L2 cache controller node, valid only for the
PL310 cache. It identifies the usage of the PL310 cache in an I/O
coherent configuration. Internally, it makes the driver disable the
outer cache sync operation.

Note that technically speaking, a fully coherent system wouldn't
require any of the other .outer_cache operations. However, in
practice, when booting secondary CPUs, these are not yet coherent, and
therefore a set of cache maintenance operations are necessary at this
point. This explains why we keep the other .outer_cache operations and
only ->sync is disabled.

While in theory any write to a PL310 register could cause the
deadlock, in practice, disabling ->sync is sufficient to workaround
the deadlock, since the other cache maintenance operations are only
used in very specific situations.

Contrary to previous versions of this patch, this new version does not
simply NULL-ify the ->sync member, because the l2c_init_data
structures are now 'const' and therefore cannot be modified, which is
a good thing. Therefore, this patch introduces a separate
l2c_init_data instance, called of_l2c310_coherent_data.

Now that explicit invocation of percpu_ref_exit() is necessary to free
the percpu counter, we can implement percpu_ref_reinit() which
reinitializes a released percpu_ref.  This can be used implement

worrying about memory allocation failures.

Currently, a percpu_ref undoes percpu_ref_init() automatically by
freeing the allocated percpu area when the percpu_ref is killed.
While seemingly convenient, this has the following niggles.

* It's impossible to re-init a released reference counter without
  going through re-allocation.

* In the similar vein, it's impossible to initialize a percpu_ref
  count with static percpu variables.

* We need and have an explicit destructor anyway for failure paths -
  percpu_ref_cancel_init().

This patch removes the automatic percpu counter freeing in
percpu_ref_kill_rcu() and repurposes percpu_ref_cancel_init() into a
generic destructor now named percpu_ref_exit().  percpu_ref_destroy()
is considered but it gets confusing with percpu_ref_kill() while
"exit" clearly indicates that it's the counterpart of
percpu_ref_init().

All percpu_ref_cancel_init() users are updated to invoke
percpu_ref_exit() instead and explicit percpu_ref_exit() calls are
added to the destruction path of all percpu_ref users.

On uniprocessor preemptible kernel, target core deadlocks on unload. The
following events happen:
* iscsit_del_np is called
* it calls send_sig(SIGINT, np->np_thread, 1);
* the scheduler switches to the np_thread
* the np_thread is woken up, it sees that kthread_should_stop() returns
  false, so it doesn't terminate
* the np_thread clears signals with flush_signals(current); and goes back
  to sleep in iscsit_accept_np
* the scheduler switches back to iscsit_del_np
* iscsit_del_np calls kthread_stop(np->np_thread);
* the np_thread is waiting in iscsit_accept_np and it doesn't respond to
  kthread_stop

The deadlock could be resolved if the administrator sends SIGINT signal to
the np_thread with killall -INT iscsi_np

The reproducible deadlock was introduced in commit
db6077fd, but the thread-stopping code was
racy even before.

This patch fixes the problem. Using kthread_should_stop to stop the
np_thread is unreliable, so we test np_thread_state instead. If
