blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO scenarios

After patch 54efd50 (block: make generic_make_request handle
arbitrarily sized bios), the IO through io-throttle may be larger,
and these IOs may be further split into more small IOs. However,
IOPS throttle does not seem to be aware of this change, which
makes the calculation of IOPS of large IOs incomplete, resulting
in disk-side IOPS that does not meet expectations. Maybe we should
fix this problem.

We can reproduce it by set max_sectors_kb of disk to 128, set
blkio.write_iops_throttle to 100, run a dd instance inside blkio
and use iostat to watch IOPS:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct

As a result, without this change the average IOPS is 1995, with
this change the IOPS is 98.

ll_new_hw_segment() is reached only in case of single range discard
merge, and we don't have max discard segment size limit actually, so
it is wrong to run the following check:

if (req->nr_phys_segments + nr_phys_segs > blk_rq_get_max_segments(req))

it may be always false since req->nr_phys_segments is initialized as
one, and bio's segment count is still 1, blk_rq_get_max_segments(reg)
is 1 too.

Fix the issue by not doing the check and bypassing the calculation of

When a stacked block device inserts a request into another block device

block: disable iopoll for split bio

iopoll is initially for small size, latency sensitive IO. It doesn't
work well for big IO, especially when it needs to be split to multiple
bios. In this case, the returned cookie of __submit_bio_noacct_mq() is
indeed the cookie of the last split bio. The completion of *this* last
split bio done by iopoll doesn't mean the whole original bio has
completed. Callers of iopoll still need to wait for completion of other
split bios.

Besides bio splitting may cause more trouble for iopoll which isn't
supposed to be used in case of big IO.

iopoll for split bio may cause potential race if CPU migration happens
during bio submission. Since the returned cookie is that of the last
split bio, polling on the corresponding hardware queue doesn't help
complete other split bios, if these split bios are enqueued into
different hardware queues. Since interrupts are disabled for polling
queues, the completion of these other split bios depends on timeout
mechanism, thus causing a potential hang.

iopoll for split bio may also cause hang for sync polling. Currently
both the blkdev and iomap-based fs (ext4/xfs, etc) support sync polling
in direct IO routine. These routines will submit bio without REQ_NOWAIT
flag set, and then start sync polling in current process context. The
process may hang in blk_mq_get_tag() if the submitted bio has to be
split into multiple bios and can rapidly exhaust the queue depth. The
process are waiting for the completion of the previously allocated
requests, which should be reaped by the following polling, and thus
causing a deadlock.

To avoid these subtle trouble described above, just disable iopoll for
split bio and return BLK_QC_T_NONE in this case. The side effect is that
non-HIPRI IO also returns BLK_QC_T_NONE now. It should be acceptable
since the returned cookie is never used for non-HIPRI IO.

As a result, without this change the average IOPS is 1995, with

dm: fix IO splitting

Commit 882ec4e609c1 ("dm table: stack 'chunk_sectors' limit to account
for target-specific splitting") caused a couple regressions:
1) Using lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors was a bug because
chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the
IO stack.
2) DM targets that set max_io_len but that do _not_ provide an
.iterate_devices method no longer had there IO split properly.

And commit 5091cdec56fa ("dm: change max_io_len() to use
blk_max_size_offset()") also caused a regression where DM no longer
supported varied (per target) IO splitting. The implication being the
potential for severely reduced performance for IO stacks that use a DM
target like dm-cache to hide performance limitations of a slower
device (e.g. one that requires 4K IO splitting).

Coming full circle: Fix all these issues by discontinuing stacking
chunk_sectors up using ti->max_io_len in dm_calculate_queue_limits(),
add optional chunk_sectors override argument to blk_max_size_offset()
and update DM's max_io_len() to pass ti->max_io_len to its
blk_max_size_offset() call.

Passing in an optional chunk_sectors override to blk_max_size_offset()
allows for code reuse of block's centralized calculation for max IO
size based on provided offset and split boundary.

Move blk_mq_sched_try_merge to blk-merge.c, which allows to mark
a lot of the merge infrastructure static there.

block: Add a new helper to attempt to merge a bio

There are lots of duplicated code when trying to merge a bio from
plug list and sw queue, we can introduce a new helper to attempt
to merge a bio, which can simplify the blk_bio_list_merge()
and blk_attempt_plug_merge().

block: fix get_max_io_size()

A previous commit aligning splits to physical block sizes inadvertently
modified one return case such that that it now returns 0 length splits
when the number of sectors doesn't exceed the physical offset. This
later hits a BUG in bio_split(). Restore the previous working behavior.

block: respect queue limit of max discard segment

When queue_max_discard_segments(q) is 1, blk_discard_mergable() will
return false for discard request, then normal request merge is applied.
However, only queue_max_segments() is checked, so max discard segment
limit isn't respected.

Check max discard segment limit in the request merge code for fixing
the issue.

Discard request failure of virtio_blk is fixed.

treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
xargs perl -pi -e \
's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.
