because rq_qos_add can be run when IO is being submitted, fix this issue
by freezing queue before adding/deleting rq qos to queue.
rq_qos_exit() needn't to freeze queue because it is called after queue
has been frozen.
iolatency calls rq_qos_add() during allocating queue, so freezing won't
add delay because queue usage refcount works at atomic mode at that
time.
iocost calls rq_qos_add() when writing cgroup attribute file, that is
fine to freeze queue at that time since we usually freeze queue when
storing to queue sysfs attribute, meantime iocost only exists on the
root cgroup.
wbt_init calls it in blk_register_queue() and queue sysfs attribute
store(queue_wb_lat_store() when write it 1st time in case of !BLK_WBT_MQ),

Deadlock as now there's nobody to wakeup the two waiters. The logic
automatically blocking when there are already sleepers is really subtle
and the only way to make it work reliably is that we check whether there
are some waiters in the queue when adding ourselves there. That way, we
are guaranteed that at least the first process to enter the wait queue
will recheck the waiting condition before going to sleep and thus
guarantee forward progress.

After commit 07173c3ec276 ("block: enable multipage bvecs"), a bvec can

the 1st page is tested, and can fail if all the pages are tested.
Later, when SCSI builds the SG list the same check for merging is done in

time the check may fail if the pages in bvec go across the
seg_boundary_mask (but tested okay in bio_will_gap() earlier, so those
BIOs were merged). If this check fails, we end up with a broken SG list
for drivers assuming the SG list not having offsets in intermediate pages.
This results in incorrect pages written to the disk.

cannot.
For example with BFQ IO scheduler on top of virtio-blk device setting
blkio cgroup weight has barely any impact on observed throughput of
async IO because __blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() always sucks out all the
IO queued in BFQ. BFQ first submits IO from higher weight cgroups but
when that is all dispatched, it will give out IO of lower weight cgroups
as well. And then we have to wait for all this IO to be dispatched to
the disk (which means lot of it actually has to complete) before the
IO scheduler is queried again for dispatching more requests. This
completely destroys any service differentiation.
So grab request tag for a request pulled out of the IO scheduler already
in __blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() and do not pull any more requests if we
cannot get it because we are unlikely to be able to dispatch it. That
way only single request is going to wait in the dispatch list for some
tag to free.

null_blk: Fix null pointer dereference on nullb->disk on blk_cleanup_disk call
The error handling on a nullb->disk allocation currently jumps to
out_cleanup_disk that calls blk_cleanup_disk with a null pointer causing
a null pointer dereference issue. Fix this by jumping to out_cleanup_tags
instead.

null_blk: convert to blk_alloc_disk/blk_cleanup_disk
Convert the null_blk driver to use the blk_alloc_disk and blk_cleanup_disk
helpers to simplify gendisk and request_queue allocation. Note that the
blk-mq mode is left with its own allocations scheme, to be handled later.
Convert the brd driver to use the blk_alloc_disk and blk_cleanup_disk
helpers to simplify gendisk and request_queue allocation. This also
allows to remove the request_queue pointer in struct request_queue,
and to simplify the initialization as blk_cleanup_disk can be called
on any disk returned from blk_alloc_disk.

blk-mq: Use request queue-wide tags for tagset-wide sbitmap
The tags used for an IO scheduler are currently per hctx.
As such, when q->nr_hw_queues grows, so does the request queue total IO
scheduler tag depth.
This may cause problems for SCSI MQ HBAs whose total driver depth is
fixed.
Ming and Yanhui report higher CPU usage and lower throughput in scenarios
where the fixed total driver tag depth is appreciably lower than the total
scheduler tag depth:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/440dfcfc-1a2c-bd98-1161-cec4d78c6dfc@huawei.com/T/#mc0d6d4f95275a2743d1c8c3e4dc9ff6c9aa3a76b
In that scenario, since the scheduler tag is got first, much contention
is introduced since a driver tag may not be available after we have got
the sched tag.
Improve this scenario by introducing request queue-wide tags for when
a tagset-wide sbitmap is used. The static sched requests are still
allocated per hctx, as requests are initialised per hctx, as in
blk_mq_init_request(..., hctx_idx, ...) ->
set->ops->init_request(.., hctx_idx, ...).
For simplicity of resizing the request queue sbitmap when updating the
request queue depth, just init at the max possible size, so we don't need
to deal with the possibly with swapping out a new sbitmap for old if
we need to grow.
