If f_op->splice_read() is not implemented, fall back to a plain read.
Use vfs_readv() to read into previously allocated pages.
This will allow splice and functions using splice, such as the loop
device, to work on all filesystems. This includes "direct_io" files
in fuse which bypass the page cache.

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.
Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...
* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

Block low level drivers for some reason have been pretty good at
abusing block layer API. Especially struct request's fields tend to
get violated in all possible ways. Make it clear that low level
drivers MUST NOT access or manipulate rq->sector and rq->data_len
directly by prefixing them with double underscores.
This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes
which assume the previous block API where internal fields can be
manipulated and rq->data_len carries residual count on completion.

struct request has had a few different ways to represent some
properties of a request. ->hard_* represent block layer's view of the
request progress (completion cursor) and the ones without the prefix
are supposed to represent the issue cursor and allowed to be updated
as necessary by the low level drivers. The thing is that as block
layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't
necessary and only cause confusion. In addition, manual management of
request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at
the very least.
Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and
rq->bio->bi_size. This is more convoluted than the hard_ case.
rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but
blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests. rq->data_len is
initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc
requests. This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer
and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of
black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and
what the specific LLD is actually doing.
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in
the contiguous data area at the front. This is mainly used by drivers
which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment. This
value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9. However, data length for
pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field
becomes a bit confusing.
In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property
leads only to confusion and subtle bugs. With recent block low level
driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these
duplicate fields directly. Drop all the duplicates. Now rq->sector
means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and
rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length. Everything else is
defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors.
* blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and
now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update.
This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no
in-kernel user yet tho).
* bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer
now uses byte count as the primary data length.
* blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct. In-block users
converted.
* blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is
blk_rq_sectors(). In-block users converted.
* blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9.
More convenient one is used.
* blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const
pointer to request.

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some
headaches.
First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be
the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This
complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
[__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
request with the cached data length.
Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is
an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default
behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.

Sergei : spotted too early conversion to blk_rq_bytes() in ide-tape

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

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.

__blk_end_request_all().

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.

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().

This patch is preparation for replacing all uses of ".head.text" or
".text.head" in the kernel with macros, so that the section name can
later be changed without having to touch a lot of the kernel.
Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.
I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.
The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".

This simplifies I/O stat accounting switching code and separates it
completely from I/O scheduler switch code.
Requests are accounted according to the state of their request queue
at the time of the request allocation. There is no need anymore to
flush the request queue when switching I/O accounting state.

Linux-2.6.29 deleted the legacy ACPI idle handler, leaving
the CPU_IDLE handler, which does not track bus master activity.
So delete the unused bm_activity field -- it is confusing to
print an always zero value.
This patch could break programs that parse
/proc/acpi/processor/*/power, since it deletes this
line from that file:
bus master activity: 00000000
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13145
is not fixed by this patch, but provoked this patch.

When checking for overlapping slots on registration of a new one, kvm
currently also considers zero-length (ie. deleted) slots and rejects
requests incorrectly. This finally denies user space from joining slots.
Fix the check by skipping deleted slots and advertise this via a
KVM_CAP_JOIN_MEMORY_REGIONS_WORKS.

/proc/diskstats used to show stats for all disks whether they're
zero-sized or not and their non-zero partitions. Commit
074a7aca7afa6f230104e8e65eba3420263714a5 accidentally changed the
behavior such that it doesn't print out zero sized disks. This patch
implements DISK_PITER_INCL_EMPTY_PART0 flag to partition iterator and
uses it in diskstats_show() such that empty part0 is shown in
/proc/diskstats.

Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path
bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways.
* bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then
ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs.
* bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity
data.
This patch fixes the above problems. kmalloc patch is separated out
from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as
inline bvecs.
* bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs. None other than
bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was
allocated anyway.
* Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in
bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets
there.
* Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how
they're used is more clear.
Jens Axboe suggested allocating bvecs inline.

There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage
device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the
scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this
module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers
were loaded before the module load are present.
Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async
stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only
waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take
into account at all that probing might not have begun yet.
(Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him)
This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which
had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for
the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did
it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml):
The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it
will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations together in linux/percpu-defs.h so
that they're in one place, and give them descriptive comments, particularly
the SHARED_ALIGNED variant.
It would be nice to collect these in linux/percpu.h, but that's not possible
without sorting out the severe #include recursion between the x86 arch headers
and the general headers (and possibly other arches too).

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o
To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to
be matched by variants on DECLARE.
