We currently don't do merging on discard requests, but we potentially
could. If we do, then we need to include discard requests in the IO
accounting, or merging would end up decrementing in_flight IO counters
for an IO which never incremented them.
So enable accounting for discard requests.

end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
however, it's about time for it to go away.
* There aren't too many users left.
* Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.
* In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
[__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.
So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
Most conversions are straightforward. Noteworthy ones are...
* paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
0/-errno instead of 1/0. Unnecessary local variable res
initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.
This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.
Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.
* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().
* s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct
calls to blk_end_request_all().

rq->start_time was initialized in init_request_from_bio() so special
requests didn't have start_time set. This has been okay as start_time
has been used only for fs requests; however, there is no indication of
this actually is the case or not. Set rq->start_time in blk_rq_init()
and guarantee that all initialized rq's have its start_time set. This
improves consistency at virtually no cost and future changes will make
use of the timestamp for !bio requests.

Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit
messy over the time. Clean it up.
1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around
end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL
before doing anything and handles bidi completion.
blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around
end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last
iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion.
Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors
clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and
renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the
only user of end_that_request_data(). Collapse
end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io().
2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(),
__blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request().
blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request()
as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use
separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different
locking rules.
blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io(). Collapse
blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request
update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add
__blk_end_bidi_request(). Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin
inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request().
3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be
modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion
functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning
of return values.
4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it
was a public interface and slighly confusing. Give it a proper
internal name - blk_finish_request().
5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely
used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh.
The only visible behavior change is from #1. nr_sectors counts are
cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to
complete the request. I couldn't find any place where the code
assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last
segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more
consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is
completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with
blk_update_request().
API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.

Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD):
- With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB
limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using
CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1).
- This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue:
mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature
enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on
machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue
when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system
running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.).
While at it:
- Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems
(they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).

Impact: use standard way to transfer data
ide-tape uses rq in an interesting way. For r/w requests, rq->special
is used to carry a private buffer management structure idetape_bh and
rq->nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors are initialized to the number of
idetape blocks which isn't necessary 512 bytes. Also,
rq->current_nr_sectors is used to report back the residual count in
units of idetape blocks.
This peculiarity taxes both block layer and ide. ide-atapi has
different paths and hooks to accomodate it and what a rq means becomes
quite confusing and making changes at the block layer becomes quite
difficult and error-prone.
This patch makes ide-tape use bio instead. With the previous patch,
ide-tape currently is using single contiguos buffer so replacing it
isn't difficult. Data buffer is mapped into bio using
blk_rq_map_kern() in idetape_queue_rw_tail(). idetape_io_buffers()
and idetape_update_buffers() are dropped and pc->bh is set to null to
tell ide-atapi to use standard data transfer mechanism and idetape_bh
byte counts are updated by the issuer on completion using the residual
count.
This change also nicely removes the FIXME in ide_pc_intr() where
ide-tape rqs need to be completed using ide_rq_bytes() instead of
blk_rq_bytes() (although this didn't really matter as the request
didn't have bio).

Impact: simpler buffer allocation and handling, kills OOM, fix DMA transfers
ide-tape has its own multiple buffer mechanism using struct
idetape_bh. It allocates buffer with decreasing order-of-two
allocations so that it results in minimum number of segments.
However, the implementation is quite complex and works in a way that
no other block or ide driver works necessitating a lot of special case
handling.
The benefit this complex allocation scheme brings is questionable as
PIO or DMA the number of segments (16 maximum) doesn't make any
noticeable difference and it also doesn't negate the need for multiple
order allocation which can fail under memory pressure or high
fragmentation although it does lower the highest order necessary by
one when the buffer size isn't power of two.
As the first step to remove the custom buffer management, this patch
makes ide-tape allocate single continous buffer. The maximum order is
four. I doubt the change would cause any trouble but if it ever
matters, it should be converted to regular sg mechanism like everyone
else and even in that case dropping custom buffer handling and moving
to standard mechanism first make sense as an intermediate step.
This patch makes the first bh to contain the whole buffer and drops
multi bh handling code. Following patches will make further changes.
This patch has the side effect of killing OOM triggered by allocation
path and fixing DMA transfers. Previously, bug in alloc path
triggered OOM on command issue and commands were passed to DMA engine
without DMA-mapping all the segments.

Impact: allow residual count implementation in ->pc_callback()
rq->data_len has two duties - carrying the number of input bytes on
issue and carrying residual count back to the issuer on completion.
ide-atapi completion callback ->pc_callback() is the right place to do
this but currently ide-atapi depends on rq->data_len carrying the
original request size after calling ->pc_callback() to complete the pc
request.
This patch makes ide_pc_intr(), ide_tape_issue_pc() and
ide_floppy_issue_pc() cache length to complete before calling
->pc_callback() so that it can modify rq->data_len as necessary.
Note: As using rq->data_len for two purposes can make cases like this
incorrect in subtle ways, future changes will introduce separate
field for residual count.

Impact: fix infinite retry loop
After a command failed, ide-tape and floppy inserts REQUEST_SENSE in
front of the failed command and according to the result, sets
pc->retries, flags and errors. After REQUEST_SENSE is complete, the
failed command is again at the front of the queue and if the verdict
was to terminate the request, the issue functions tries to complete it
directly by calling drive->pc_callback() and returning ide_stopped.
However, drive->pc_callback() doesn't complete a request. It only
prepares for completion of the request. As a result, this creates an
infinite loop where the failed request is retried perpetually.
Fix it by actually ending the request by calling ide_complete_rq().

Impact: unify request data buffer handling
rq->data is used mostly to pass kernel buffer through request queue
without using bio. There are only a couple of places which still do
this in kernel and converting to bio isn't difficult.
This patch converts ide-cd and atapi to use bio instead of rq->data
for request sense and internal pc commands. With previous change to
unify sense request handling, this is relatively easily achieved by
adding blk_rq_map_kern() during sense_rq prep and PC issue.
If blk_rq_map_kern() fails for sense, the error is deferred till sense
issue and aborts the failed command which triggered the sense. Note
that this is a slim possibility as sense prep is done on each command
issue, so for the above condition to actually trigger, all preps since
the last sense issue till the issue of the request which would require
a sense should fail.
* do_request functions might sleep now. This should be okay as ide
request_fn - do_ide_request() - is invoked only from make_request
and plug work. Make sure this is the case by adding might_sleep()
to do_ide_request().
* Functions which access the read sense data before the sense request
is complete now should access bio_data(sense_rq->bio) as the sense
buffer might have been copied during blk_rq_map_kern().
* ide-tape updated to map sg.
* cdrom_do_block_pc() now doesn't have to deal with REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC
special case. Simplified.
* tp_ops->output/input_data path dropped from ide_pc_intr().

Impact: subtle behavior change
For fs requests, rq is only carrier of bios and rq error status as a
whole doesn't mean much. This is the reason why rq->errors is being
cleared on each partial completion of a request as on each partial
completion the error status is transferred to the respective bios.
For pc requests, rq->errors is used to carry error status to the
issuer and thus __end_that_request_first() doesn't clear it on such
cases.
The condition was fine till now as only fs and pc requests have used
bio and thus the bio completion path. However, future changes will
unify data accesses to bio and all non fs users care about rq error
status. Clear rq->errors on bio completion only for fs requests.
In general, the implicit clearing is a bit too subtle especially as
the meaning of rq->errors is completely dependent on low level
drivers. Unifying / cleaning up rq->errors usage and letting llds
manage it would be better. TODO comment added.

It ends up transferring data from irq handler with both local irq and
HD_IRQ disabled. The only place it actually does something is while
transferring the first block of a request which it does with HD_IRQ
disabled but local irq enabled.
Unfortunately, the dancing is horribly broken from locking POV. IRQ
and timeout handlers access block queue without grabbing the queue
lock and running the driver in SMP configuration crashes the whole
machine pretty quickly.
Remove meaningless irq enable/disable dancing and add proper locking
in issue, irq and timeout paths.
