commit 57292b58ddb58689e8c3b4c6eadbef10d9ca44dd upstream.

This can be used to check for fs vs non-fs requests and basically
removes all knowledge of BLOCK_PC specific from the block layer,
as well as preparing for removing the cmd_type field in struct request.

commit 15bfd21fbc5d35834b9ea383dc458a1f0c9e3434 upstream.

A device may have boundary restrictions where the number of sectors
between boundaries exceeds its max transfer size. In this case, we need
to cap the max size to the smaller of the two limits.

commit 9a05e7541c39680d28ecf91892338e074738d5fd upstream.

With compilers which follow the C99 standard (like modern versions of
gcc and clang), "extern inline" does the opposite thing from older
versions of gcc (emits code for an externally linkable version of the
inline function).

"static inline" does the intended behavior in all cases instead.

Description taken from commit 6d91857d4826 ("staging, rtl8192e,
LLVMLinux: Change extern inline to static inline").

This also fixes the following GCC warning when building with CONFIG_PM
disabled:

  ./include/linux/blkdev.h:1143:20: warning: no previous prototype for 'blk_set_runtime_active' [-Wmissing-prototypes]

blk_mq_delay_kick_requeue_list() provides the ability to kick the
q-&gt;requeue_list after a specified time.  To do this the request_queue's
'requeue_work' member was changed to a delayed_work.

blk_mq_delay_kick_requeue_list() allows DM to defer processing requeued
requests while it doesn't make sense to immediately requeue them
(e.g. when all paths in a DM multipath have failed).

<title>block/mm: make bdev_ops-&gt;rw_page() take a bool for read/write</title>

Commit abf545484d31 changed it from an 'rw' flags type to the
newer ops based interface, but now we're effectively leaking
some bdev internals to the rest of the kernel. Since we only
care about whether it's a read or a write at that level, just
pass in a bool 'is_write' parameter instead.

Then we can also move op_is_write() and friends back under
CONFIG_BLOCK protection.

The rw_page users were not converted to use bio/req ops. As a result
bdev_write_page is not passing down REQ_OP_WRITE and the IOs will
be sent down as reads.

2) Make op_is_write() and friends safe to use for !CONFIG_BLOCK

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:

 - Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing.

   The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
   deprecated.  Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement
   either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm.

   ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers
   to the memory controller on a power-fail event.

   Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware
   Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure".
   A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures
   that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been
   flushed to media.

 - On-demand ARS (address range scrub).

   Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
   in pmem devices.  When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the
   media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a
   re-scrub at any time.

 - Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command
   format.

 - Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges.

 - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.
