block: Inline encryption support for blk-mq

We must have some way of letting a storage device driver know what
encryption context it should use for en/decrypting a request. However,
it's the upper layers (like the filesystem/fscrypt) that know about and
manages encryption contexts. As such, when the upper layer submits a bio
to the block layer, and this bio eventually reaches a device driver with
support for inline encryption, the device driver will need to have been
told the encryption context for that bio.

We want to communicate the encryption context from the upper layer to the
storage device along with the bio, when the bio is submitted to the block
layer. To do this, we add a struct bio_crypt_ctx to struct bio, which can
represent an encryption context (note that we can't use the bi_private
field in struct bio to do this because that field does not function to pass
information across layers in the storage stack). We also introduce various
functions to manipulate the bio_crypt_ctx and make the bio/request merging
logic aware of the bio_crypt_ctx.

We also make changes to blk-mq to make it handle bios with encryption
contexts. blk-mq can merge many bios into the same request. These bios need
to have contiguous data unit numbers (the necessary changes to blk-merge
are also made to ensure this) - as such, it suffices to keep the data unit
number of just the first bio, since that's all a storage driver needs to
infer the data unit number to use for each data block in each bio in a
request. blk-mq keeps track of the encryption context to be used for all
the bios in a request with the request's rq_crypt_ctx. When the first bio
is added to an empty request, blk-mq will program the encryption context
of that bio into the request_queue's keyslot manager, and store the
returned keyslot in the request's rq_crypt_ctx. All the functions to
operate on encryption contexts are in blk-crypto.c.

Upper layers only need to call bio_crypt_set_ctx with the encryption key,
algorithm and data_unit_num; they don't have to worry about getting a
keyslot for each encryption context, as blk-mq/blk-crypto handles that.
Blk-crypto also makes it possible for request-based layered devices like
dm-rq to make use of inline encryption hardware by cloning the
rq_crypt_ctx and programming a keyslot in the new request_queue when
necessary.

Note that any user of the block layer can submit bios with an
encryption context, such as filesystems, device-mapper targets, etc.

block: Introduce REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND

Define REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND to append-write sectors to a zone of a zoned
block device. This is a no-merge write operation.

A zone append write BIO must:
* Target a zoned block device
* Have a sector position indicating the start sector of the target zone
* The target zone must be a sequential write zone
* The BIO must not cross a zone boundary
* The BIO size must not be split to ensure that a single range of LBAs
is written with a single command.

Implement these checks in generic_make_request_checks() using the
helper function blk_check_zone_append(). To avoid write append BIO
splitting, introduce the new max_zone_append_sectors queue limit
attribute and ensure that a BIO size is always lower than this limit.
Export this new limit through sysfs and check these limits in bio_full().

Also when a LLDD can't dispatch a request to a specific zone, it
will return BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE indicating this request needs to
be delayed, e.g. because the zone it will be dispatched to is still
write-locked. If this happens set the request aside in a local list
to continue trying dispatching requests such as READ requests or a
WRITE/ZONE_APPEND requests targetting other zones. This way we can
still keep a high queue depth without starving other requests even if
one request can't be served due to zone write-locking.

Finally, make sure that the bio sector position indicates the actual
write position as indicated by the device on completion.

block/diskstats: more accurate approximation of io_ticks for slow disks

Currently io_ticks is approximated by adding one at each start and end of
requests if jiffies counter has changed.

block/diskstats: more accurate approximation of io_ticks for slow disks

Currently io_ticks is approximated by adding one at each start and end of
requests if jiffies counter has changed. This works perfectly for requests
shorter than a jiffy or if one of requests starts/ends at each jiffy.

If disk executes just one request at a time and they are longer than two
jiffies then only first and last jiffies will be accounted.

Fix is simple: at the end of request add up into io_ticks jiffies passed
since last update rather than just one jiffy.

Example: common HDD executes random read 4k requests around 12ms.

fio --name=test --filename=/dev/sdb --rw=randread --direct=1 --runtime=30 &
iostat -x 10 sdb

Note changes of iostat's "%util" 8,43% -> 99,99% before/after patch:

Before:

Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
sdb 0,00 0,00 82,60 0,00 330,40 0,00 8,00 0,96 12,09 12,09 0,00 1,02 8,43

After:

Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util
sdb 0,00 0,00 82,50 0,00 330,00 0,00 8,00 1,00 12,10 12,10 0,00 12,12 99,99

Now io_ticks does not loose time between start and end of requests, but
for queue-depth > 1 some I/O time between adjacent starts might be lost.

For load estimation "%util" is not as useful as average queue length,
but it clearly shows how often disk queue is completely empty.

block: Prevent hung_check firing during long sync IO

submit_bio_wait() can be called from ioctl(BLKSECDISCARD), which
may take long time to complete, as Salman mentioned, 4K BLKSECDISCARD
takes up to 100 second on some devices. Also any block I/O operation
that occurs after the BLKSECDISCARD is submitted will also potentially
be affected by the hung task timeouts.

Another report is that task hang can be observed when running mkfs
over raid10 which takes a small max discard sectors limit because
of chunk size.

So prevent hung_check from firing by taking same approach used
in blk_execute_rq(), and the wake-up interval is set as half the
hung_check timer period, which keeps overhead low enough.

block: add bio_truncate to fix guard_bio_eod

Some filesystem, such as vfat, may send bio which crosses device boundary,
and the worse thing is that the IO request starting within device boundaries
can contain more than one segment past EOD.

Commit dce30ca9e3b6 ("fs: fix guard_bio_eod to check for real EOD errors")
tries to fix this issue by returning -EIO for this situation. However,
this way lets fs user code lose chance to handle -EIO, then sync_inodes_sb()
may hang for ever.

Also the current truncating on last segment is dangerous by updating the
last bvec, given bvec table becomes not immutable any more, and fs bio
users may not retrieve the truncated pages via bio_for_each_segment_all() in
its .end_io callback.

Fixes this issue by supporting multi-segment truncating. And the
approach is simpler:

- just update bio size since block layer can make correct bvec with
the updated bio size. Then bvec table becomes really immutable.

- zero all truncated segments for read bio

Passsthrough bio handling should be the same as normal bio handling,
except that we need to take hardware limitations into account. Thus
use the common try_merge implementation after checking the hardware
limits. This changes behavior in that we now also check segment
and dma boundary settings for same page merges, which is a little
more work but has no effect as those need to be larger than the
page size.
