Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the block driver pull request for 3.13. As with the core pull
request just sent out, this was rebased on top of the core branch
again after the immutable series was pulled. This also means that
bcache gets to sit the initial pull over. I will send a second driver
pull request in the merge window to get those fixes in, once they have
been rebased and tested on top of the non-immutable stack.
This pull request contains:
- Add support for the sTec Kronos pci-e flash card from sTec. Also
has various cleanups for this driver, from myself, Bart, Mike
Snizter, and Wei Yongjun.
- Add surprise removal support for the micron mtip32xx driver from
Micron.
- Floppy documentation fix from Ben Harris.
- debugfs bug fix for pktcdvd from Dan Carpenter.
- Fix for the mtip32xx driver stack usage in the debugfs path,
dynamically allocating those buffers instead. From David Milburn.
- Disable cpqarray in Kconfig. The plan is to remove it on request
of HP, but lets disable it for a few revisions just to see if
anyone yells.
- drbd fixes from Lars Ellenberg and Philipp Reisner.
- Elevator switch fix for the s390 block driver from Heiko Carstens.
- loop crash fix on IO to unassigned device from Mikulas Patocka.
- A series of bug fixes for the IBM rsxx pci-e flash driver from
Philip J Kelleher.
- cciss probe fix from Stephen Cameron.
- Xen block front/back fixes from Roger Pau Monne and Vegard Nossum"

"elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching and md device initialization"
changed the semantics of elevator_init() in a way that now enforces to hold
the corresponding request queue's sysfs_lock when calling elevator_init()
to fix a race.
The patch did not convert the s390 dasd device driver which is the only
device driver which also calls elevator_init(). So add the missing locking.

Whenever a DASD request encounters a timeout we might
need to abort all outstanding requests on this or
even other devices.
This is especially useful if one wants to fail all
devices on one side of a RAID10 configuration, even
though only one device exhibited an error.
To handle this I've introduced a new device flag
DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO.
This flag is evaluated in __dasd_process_request_queue()
and will invoke blk_abort_request() for all
outstanding requests with DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST set.
This will cause any of these requests to be aborted
immediately if the blk_timeout function is activated.
The DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is also evaluated in
__dasd_process_request_queue to abort all
new request which would have the
DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST bit set.
The flag can be set with the new ioctls 'BIODASDABORTIO'
and removed with 'BIODASDALLOWIO'.

The DASD driver is using FASTFAIL as an equivalent to the
transport errors in SCSI. And the 'steal lock' function maps
roughly to a reservation error. So we should be returning the
appropriate error codes when completing a request.

This patch implements generic block layer timeout handling
callbacks for DASDs. When the timeout expires the respective
cqr is aborted.
With this timeout handler time-critical request abort
is guaranteed as the abort does not depend on the internal
state of the various DASD driver queues.

Originally the DASD device tasklet would process the entries on
the ccw_queue until the first non-final request was found.
Which was okay as long as all requests have the same retries and
expires parameter.
However, as we're now allowing to modify both it is possible to
have requests _after_ the first request which already have expired.
So we need to check all requests in the device tasklet.

When a path is gone and dasd_generic_path_event is called with a
PE_PATH_GONE event, we must assume that any I/O request on that
subchannel is still running. This is unlike the dasd_generic_notify
handler and the CIO_NO_PATH event, which implies that the subchannel
has been cleared.
If dasd_generic_path_event finds that the path has been the last
usable path, it must not call dasd_generic_last_path_gone (which would
reset the state of running requests), but just set the
DASD_STOPPED_DC_WAIT bit.

When the DASD devices are detached from the driver, then the
dasd_generic_remove function is called. One of the things this
function should do is to remove the DASD specific sysfs attributes,
but this is not done in all cases. This is likely to cause an oops
when at a later point sysfs stumbles over the stale pointers. In
particular this happens when when the modules are unloaded and loaded
again.

The regular behavior of the DASD device driver when setting a device
offline is to return all outstanding I/O as failed. This behavior is
different from that of other System z operating systems and may lead
to unexpected data loss. Adding an explicit 'safe' offline function

If a new path is available we need to verify the path data. If it is the
first path for a device the stop bits are removed after path verification.
If a pathgroup is established we need to set system characteristics for
the lcu. Therefore I/O has to be started.
If the device is stopped the set system characteristics worker may block
the path verification worker and the device is blocked.
Turn on failfast for set system characteristics CQR to prevent a deadlock
with the path verification worker.
If a pathgroup is established on a device that is not in use trigger path
verification. Maybe we were not informed about a working path.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.

This patch extends the DASD statistics to allow for a more detailed
analysis of DASD I/O operations. In particular we want the statistics
to provide answers to the following questions:
- How many requests used a PAV alias?
- How many requests used High Performance FICON?
- How do read request perform versus write requests?
The existing DASD statistics interface has several shortcomings
- The interface for global data is a formatted text table in procfs
(/proc/dasd/statistics). The layout is meant for human readers and
is not to easy to parse. If values get to large for the table
layout, they get scaled down.
- The statistics which are collected per block device can be
accessed via an ioctl interface, which can only be extended by
defining a new ioctl.
- There is no statistics interface for individual PAV base and alias
devices.
To overcome theses shortcomings we create a new DASD statistics
interface in debugfs. This interface will contain one entry for global
data, one per DASD block device, and one per DASD base and alias
device. Each file contains the statistic data in easy to parse
name/value and name/array pairs. The existing interfaces will remain
functional, but they will not be extended.

The dasd_open function uses the private_data pointer of the gendisk to
find the dasd_block structure that matches the gendisk. When a DASD
device is set offline, we set the private_data pointer of the gendisk
to NULL and later remove the dasd_block structure, but there is still
a small race window, in which dasd_open could first read a pointer
from the private_data field and then try to use it, after the structure
has already been freed.
To close this race window, we will store a pointer to the dasd_devmap
structure of the base device in the private_data field. The devmap
entries are not deleted, and we already have proper locking and
reference counting in place, so that we can safely get from a devmap
pointer to the dasd_device and dasd_block structures of the device.

The dasd interrupt handler needs to distinguish solicited from
unsolicited interrupts, as unsolicited interrupts may require special
handling (e.g. summary unit checks) and solicited interrupts require
proper error recovery for the failed I/O request.
The interrupt handler needs to check several bit fields in the
interrupt response block (irb) to make this distinction.
So far our check of the status control bits has not been specific
enough, which may lead to a failed request getting just retried
instead of the necessary error recovery.

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().
blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.
All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.
* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.
