This pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem. The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al. Summary: - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). - Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS and pre-OS compatibility. - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test. - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2) capable. - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit driver.

This, however, won't happen as xen_blkif_free() won't be called on termination of the last running request: xen_blkif_put() won't decrement the blkif refcnt to 0 as xen_blkif_disconnect() didn't finish before thus some xen_blkif_put() calls in xen_blkif_disconnect() didn't happen. To solve this deadlock xen_blkif_disconnect() and xen_blkif_alloc_rings() shouldn't use xen_blkif_put() and xen_blkif_get() but use some other way to do their accounting of resources. This at once fixes another error in xen_blkif_disconnect(): when it returned early with -EBUSY for another ring than 0 it would call xen_blkif_put() again for already handled rings on a subsequent call. This will lead to inconsistencies in the refcnt handling.

So create a new bio_set, drbd_io_bio_set, and use bio_clone_fast(). Also remove a "XXX cannot fail ???" comment because it definitely cannot fail - bio_clone_fast() doesn't fail if the GFP flags allow for sleeping.

As filesystems use fs_bio_set, block devices shouldn't. As rbd never stacks, it is safe to have a single global bio_set for all rbd devices to use. So allocate that when the module is initialised, and use it with bio_clone_fast().

All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers, are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag. biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool, btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by target_core_iblock.c. biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as their usage was recently audited and revised to never risk deadlock. It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets can end up being the non-rescued version.

This double-throttling can trigger positive feedback loops that create significant delays. The throttling at the lower level is seen by the upper level as a slow device, so it throttles extra hard. The PF_LESS_THROTTLE flag was created to handle exactly this circumstance, though with an NFS filesystem mounted from a local NFS server. It reduces the throttling on the lower layer so that it can proceed largely unthrottled. To demonstrate this, create a filesystem on a loop device and write (e.g. with dd) several large files which combine to consume significantly more than the limit set by /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes. Measure the total time taken. When I do this directly on a device (no loop device) the total time for several runs (mkfs, mount, write 200 files, umount) is fairly stable: 28-35 seconds. When I do this over a loop device the times are much worse and less stable. 52-460 seconds. Half below 100seconds, half above. When I apply this patch, the times become stable again, though not as fast as the no-loop-back case: 53-72 seconds. There may be room for further improvement as the total overhead still seems too high, but this is a big improvement.
