Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
 "This is a load of driver fixes (12 ufs, 1 mpt3sas, 1 cxgbi).

  The big core two fixes are for power management ("block: Do not accept
  any requests while suspended" and "block: Fix a race in the runtime
  power management code") which finally sorts out the resume problems
  we've occasionally been having.

  To make the resume fix, there are seven necessary precursors which
  effectively renames REQ_PREEMPT to REQ_PM, so every "special" request
  in block is automatically a power management exempt one.

  All of the non-PM preempt cases are removed except for the one in the
  SCSI Parallel Interface (spi) domain validation which is a genuine
  case where we have to run requests at high priority to validate the
  bus so this becomes an autopm get/put protected request"

<title>scsi: block: Do not accept any requests while suspended</title>

blk_queue_enter() accepts BLK_MQ_REQ_PM requests independent of the runtime
power management state. Now that SCSI domain validation no longer depends
on this behavior, modify the behavior of blk_queue_enter() as follows:

   - Do not accept any requests while suspended.

   - Only process power management requests while suspending or resuming.

Submitting BLK_MQ_REQ_PM requests to a device that is runtime suspended
causes runtime-suspended devices not to resume as they should. The request
which should cause a runtime resume instead gets issued directly, without
resuming the device first. Of course the device can't handle it properly,
the I/O fails, and the device remains suspended.

The problem is fixed by checking that the queue's runtime-PM status isn't
RPM_SUSPENDED before allowing a request to be issued, and queuing a
runtime-resume request if it is.  In particular, the inline
blk_pm_request_resume() routine is renamed blk_pm_resume_queue() and the
code is unified by merging the surrounding checks into the routine.  If the
queue isn't set up for runtime PM, or there currently is no restriction on
allowed requests, the request is allowed.  Likewise if the BLK_MQ_REQ_PM
flag is set and the status isn't RPM_SUSPENDED.  Otherwise a runtime resume
is queued and the request is blocked until conditions are more suitable.

[ bvanassche: modified commit message and removed Cc: stable because
  without the previous patches from this series this patch would break
  parallel SCSI domain validation + introduced queue_rpm_status() ]

Commit 882ec4e609c1 ("dm table: stack 'chunk_sectors' limit to account
for target-specific splitting") caused a couple regressions:
1) Using lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors was a bug because
   chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the
   IO stack.
2) DM targets that set max_io_len but that do _not_ provide an
   .iterate_devices method no longer had there IO split properly.

And commit 5091cdec56fa ("dm: change max_io_len() to use
blk_max_size_offset()") also caused a regression where DM no longer
supported varied (per target) IO splitting. The implication being the
potential for severely reduced performance for IO stacks that use a DM
target like dm-cache to hide performance limitations of a slower
device (e.g. one that requires 4K IO splitting).

Coming full circle: Fix all these issues by discontinuing stacking
chunk_sectors up using ti-&gt;max_io_len in dm_calculate_queue_limits(),
add optional chunk_sectors override argument to blk_max_size_offset()
and update DM's max_io_len() to pass ti-&gt;max_io_len to its
blk_max_size_offset() call.

Passing in an optional chunk_sectors override to blk_max_size_offset()
allows for code reuse of block's centralized calculation for max IO
size based on provided offset and split boundary.

Instead of having two structures that represent each block device with
different life time rules, merge them into a single one.  This also
greatly simplifies the reference counting rules, as we can use the inode
reference count as the main reference count for the new struct
block_device, with the device model reference front ending it for device
model interaction.

Use struct block_device to lookup partitions on a disk.  This removes
all usage of struct hd_struct from the I/O path.

Stop passing the whole device as a separate argument given that it
can be trivially deducted and cleanup the !holder debug check.
