block: remove the nr_sects field in struct hd_struct

Now that the hd_struct always has a block device attached to it, there is
no need for having two size field that just get out of sync.

Additionally the field in hd_struct did not use proper serialization,
possibly allowing for torn writes. By only using the block_device field
this problem also gets fixed.

loop: fix I/O error on fsync() in detached loop devices

commit 4ceddce55eb35d15b0f87f5dcf6f0058fd15d3a4 upstream.

There's an I/O error on fsync() in a detached loop device
if it has been previously attached.

The issue is write cache is enabled in the attach path in
loop_configure() but it isn't disabled in the detach path;
thus it remains enabled in the block device regardless of
whether it is attached or not.

Now fsync() can get an I/O request that will just be failed
later in loop_queue_rq() as device's state is not 'Lo_bound'.

So, disable write cache in the detach path.

Do so based on the queue flag, not the loop device flag for
read-only (used to enable) as the queue flag can be changed
via sysfs even on read-only loop devices (e.g., losetup -r.)

Test-case:

# DEV=/dev/loop7

# IMG=/tmp/image
# truncate --size 1M $IMG

# losetup $DEV $IMG
# losetup -d $DEV

Before:

# strace -e fsync parted -s $DEV print 2>&1 | grep fsync
fsync(3) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)
Warning: Error fsyncing/closing /dev/loop7: Input/output error
[ 982.529929] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev loop7, sector 0 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0x800 phys_seg 0 prio class 0

block: loop: set discard granularity and alignment for block device backed loop

In case of block device backend, if the backend supports write zeros, the
loop device will set queue flag of QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD. However,
limits.discard_granularity isn't setup, and this way is wrong,
see the following description in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block:

A discard_granularity of 0 means that the device does not support
discard functionality.

Especially 9b15d109a6b2 ("block: improve discard bio alignment in
__blkdev_issue_discard()") starts to take q->limits.discard_granularity
for computing max discard sectors. And zero discard granularity may cause
kernel oops, or fail discard request even though the loop queue claims
discard support via QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD.

Fix the issue by setup discard granularity and alignment.

mm/writeback: replace PF_LESS_THROTTLE with PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE

PF_LESS_THROTTLE exists for loop-back nfsd (and a similar need in the
loop block driver and callers of prctl(PR_SET_IO_FLUSHER)), where a
daemon needs to write to one bdi (the final bdi) in order to free up
writes queued to another bdi (the client bdi).

The daemon sets PF_LESS_THROTTLE and gets a larger allowance of dirty
pages, so that it can still dirty pages after other processses have been
throttled. The purpose of this is to avoid deadlock that happen when
the PF_LESS_THROTTLE process must write for any dirty pages to be freed,
but it is being thottled and cannot write.

This approach was designed when all threads were blocked equally,
independently on which device they were writing to, or how fast it was.
Since that time the writeback algorithm has changed substantially with
different threads getting different allowances based on non-trivial
heuristics. This means the simple "add 25%" heuristic is no longer
reliable.

The important issue is not that the daemon needs a *larger* dirty page
allowance, but that it needs a *private* dirty page allowance, so that
dirty pages for the "client" bdi that it is helping to clear (the bdi
for an NFS filesystem or loop block device etc) do not affect the
throttling of the daemon writing to the "final" bdi.

This patch changes the heuristic so that the task is not throttled when
the bdi it is writing to has a dirty page count below below (or equal
to) the free-run threshold for that bdi. This ensures it will always be
able to have some pages in flight, and so will not deadlock.

In a steady-state, it is expected that PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE tasks might
still be throttled by global threshold, but that is acceptable as it is
only the deadlock state that is interesting for this flag.

This approach of "only throttle when target bdi is busy" is consistent
with the other use of PF_LESS_THROTTLE in current_may_throttle(), were
it causes attention to be focussed only on the target bdi.

So this patch
- renames PF_LESS_THROTTLE to PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE,
- removes the 25% bonus that that flag gives, and
- If PF_LOCAL_THROTTLE is set, don't delay at all unless the
global and the local free-run thresholds are exceeded.

Note that previously realtime threads were treated the same as
PF_LESS_THROTTLE threads. This patch does *not* change the behvaiour
for real-time threads, so it is now different from the behaviour of nfsd
and loop tasks. I don't know what is wanted for realtime.

blk-mq: drain I/O when all CPUs in a hctx are offline

Most of blk-mq drivers depend on managed IRQ's auto-affinity to setup
up queue mapping. Thomas mentioned the following point[1]:

"That was the constraint of managed interrupts from the very beginning:

The driver/subsystem has to quiesce the interrupt line and the associated
queue _before_ it gets shutdown in CPU unplug and not fiddle with it
until it's restarted by the core when the CPU is plugged in again."

However, current blk-mq implementation doesn't quiesce hw queue before
the last CPU in the hctx is shutdown. Even worse, CPUHP_BLK_MQ_DEAD is a
cpuhp state handled after the CPU is down, so there isn't any chance to
quiesce the hctx before shutting down the CPU.

Add new CPUHP_AP_BLK_MQ_ONLINE state to stop allocating from blk-mq hctxs
where the last CPU goes away, and wait for completion of in-flight
requests. This guarantees that there is no inflight I/O before shutting
down the managed IRQ.

Add a BLK_MQ_F_STACKING and set it for dm-rq and loop, so we don't need
to wait for completion of in-flight requests from these drivers to avoid
a potential dead-lock. It is safe to do this for stacking drivers as those
do not use interrupts at all and their I/O completions are triggered by
underlying devices I/O completion.
