This splits bio in the middle of a vector to form the largest possible
bio at the h/w's desired alignment, and guarantees the bio being split
will have some data.

The criteria for splitting is changed from the max sectors to the h/w's
optimal sector alignment if it is provided. For h/w that advertise their
block storage's underlying chunk size, it's a big performance win to not
submit commands that cross them. If sector alignment is not provided,
this patch uses the max sectors as before.

This addresses the performance issue commit d3805611 attempted to
fix, but was reverted due to splitting logic error.

There is a split tracepoint that is supposed to be called when
bio is splitted, and it was called in bio_split function until
commit 4b1faf93 ("block: Kill bio_pair_split()").
But now, no one reports splits, so this patch adds call to
trace_block_split back in blk_queue_split right after split.

In architecture like powerpc, we can have cpus without any local memory
attached to it (a.k.a memoryless nodes). In such cases cpu to node mapping
can result in memory allocation hints for block hctx->numa_node populated
with node values which does not have real memory.

Instead use local_memory_node(), which is guaranteed to have memory.
local_memory_node is a noop in other architectures that does not support
memoryless nodes.

Thanks for report! After some investigation I found out we allocate
elevator specific data in __get_request() only for non-flush requests. And
this is actually required since the flush machinery uses the space in
struct request for something else. Doh. So my patch is just wrong and not
easy to fix since at the time __get_request() is called we are not sure
whether the flush machinery will be used in the end. Jens, please revert
1b2ff19e. Thanks!

I'm somewhat surprised that you can reliably hit the race where flushing
gets disabled for the device just while the request is in flight. But I
guess during boot it makes some sense.

So let's just revert it, we can fix the queue run manually after the
fact. This race is rare enough that it didn't trigger in testing, it
requires the specific disable-while-in-flight scenario to trigger.

Just a comment update on not needing queue_lock, and that we aren't
really adding the request to a timeout list for !mq.

We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power)
is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit
DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control
Entries).

The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the
PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment
matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size,
as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).

In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.

With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
will BUG within a few minutes.

When establishing a thin device's discard limits we cannot rely on the
underlying thin-pool device's discard capabilities (which are inherited
from the thin-pool's underlying data device) given that DM thin devices
must provide discard support even when the thin-pool's underlying data
device doesn't support discards.

Users were exposed to this thin device discard limits regression if
their thin-pool's underlying data device does _not_ support discards.
This regression caused all upper-layers that called the
blkdev_issue_discard() interface to not be able to issue discards to
thin devices (because discard_granularity was 0).  This regression
wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive
'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against
thin-pool's with data devices that support discards.

Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature
rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support
should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity.

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.

Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.

A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.

The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.

To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.

If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.

Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context.  Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().

This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.

As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.

A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument.  This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing.  Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow

In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.

The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.

To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist.  The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:

 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
    thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.

 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
    each with a separate head pointer.

 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.

Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization.  The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed.  The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk.  Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.

All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page.  The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.

Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().

Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
"slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).

Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking.  This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).

Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object.  This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.

This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().

Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists.  When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.

These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.

Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

Adjust the linker script and map_pages() to map kernel text and data on
physical 1MB huge/large pages.
Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.

The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.

Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

Use the 22bit instead of the 17bit branch instruction on a 64bit kernel
to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page.
A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits.
Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too
small if you build a kernel with many modules built-in and with kernel
text and data areas mapped on huge pages.

This patch increases the initial mapping to 32MB for 64bit kernels and
keeps 16MB for 32bit kernels.
