Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.

  Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
  Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
  time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
  week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.

  This contains:

   - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)

   - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)

   - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)

   - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
      * Optimizations for writeback caching
      * Various fixes and improvements

   - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
      * host and target support for NVMe over TCP
      * Error log page support
      * Support for separate read/write/poll queues
      * Much improved polling
      * discard OOM fallback
      * Tracepoint improvements

   - lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
      * Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
        per LBA can be used as well.
      * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
      * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
      * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
        code.
      * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
      * Small geometry cleanup from me.

   - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
     blk-mq (me)

   - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)

   - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)

   - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
     blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
     have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
     completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
     Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
     coming in the next release.

   - Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph)

   - Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef)

   - Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato)

   - sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph)

   - IO priority improvements (Damien)

   - mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien)

   - Ref count blkcg series (Dennis)

   - Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me)

   - sbitmap scalability improvements (me)

   - Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas)

   - Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping)

   - Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao)

   - Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging
     (Ming)

   - Lots of other fixes and improvements"

Clang warns when an implicit conversion is done between enumerated
types:

drivers/block/drbd/drbd_state.c:708:8: warning: implicit conversion from
enumeration type 'enum drbd_ret_code' to different enumeration type
'enum drbd_state_rv' [-Wenum-conversion]
                rv = ERR_INTR;
                   ~ ^~~~~~~~

drbd_request_detach_interruptible's only call site is in the return
statement of adm_detach, which returns an int. Change the return type of
drbd_request_detach_interruptible to match, silencing Clang's warning.

<title>drbd: introduce P_ZEROES (REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES on the "wire")</title>

<content type='text'>
And also re-enable partial-zero-out + discard aligned.

With the introduction of REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES,
we started to use that for both WRITE_ZEROES and DISCARDS,
hoping that WRITE_ZEROES would "do what we want",
UNMAP if possible, zero-out the rest.

The example scenario is some LVM "thin" backend.

While an un-allocated block on dm-thin reads as zeroes, on a dm-thin
with "skip_block_zeroing=true", after a partial block write allocated
that block, that same block may well map "undefined old garbage" from
the backends on LBAs that have not yet been written to.

If we cannot distinguish between zero-out and discard on the receiving
side, to avoid "undefined old garbage" to pop up randomly at later times
on supposedly zero-initialized blocks, we'd need to map all discards to
zero-out on the receiving side.  But that would potentially do a full
alloc on thinly provisioned backends, even when the expectation was to
unmap/trim/discard/de-allocate.

We need to distinguish on the protocol level, whether we need to guarantee
zeroes (and thus use zero-out, potentially doing the mentioned full-alloc),
or if we want to put the emphasis on discard, and only do a "best effort
zeroing" (by "discarding" blocks aligned to discard-granularity, and zeroing
only potential unaligned head and tail clippings to at least *try* to
avoid "false positives" in an online-verify later), hoping that someone
set skip_block_zeroing=false.

For some discussion regarding this on dm-devel, see also
https://www.mail-archive.com/dm-devel%40redhat.com/msg07965.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2018-January/msg00271.html

For backward compatibility, P_TRIM means zero-out, unless the
DRBD_FF_WZEROES feature flag is agreed upon during handshake.

To have upper layers even try to submit WRITE ZEROES requests,
we need to announce "efficient zeroout" independently.

We need to fixup max_write_zeroes_sectors after blk_queue_stack_limits():
if we can handle "zeroes" efficiently on the protocol,
we want to do that, even if our backend does not announce
max_write_zeroes_sectors itself.

<title>drbd: skip spurious timeout (ping-timeo) when failing promote</title>

<content type='text'>
If you try to promote a Secondary while connected to a Primary
and allow-two-primaries is NOT set, we will wait for "ping-timeout"
to give this node a chance to detect a dead primary,
in case the cluster manager noticed faster than we did.

But if we then are *still* connected to a Primary,
we fail (after an additional timeout of ping-timout).

This change skips the spurious second timeout.

Most people won't notice really,
since "ping-timeout" by default is half a second.

But in some installations, ping-timeout may be 10 or 20 seconds or more,
and spuriously delaying the error return becomes annoying.

emma: "Unexpected data packet AuthChallenge (0x0010)"
 ava: "expected AuthChallenge packet, received: ReportProtocol (0x000b)"
      "Authentication of peer failed, trying again."

Pattern repeats.

There is no point in retrying the handshake,
if we expect to receive an AuthChallenge,
but the peer is not even configured to expect or use a shared secret.

print_st_err() is defined with its 4th argument taking an
'enum drbd_state_rv' but its prototype use an int for it.

Fix this by using 'enum drbd_state_rv' in the prototype too.

<title>drbd: avoid spurious self-outdating with concurrent disconnect / down</title>

<content type='text'>
If peers are "simultaneously" told to disconnect from each other,
either explicitly, or implicitly by taking down the resource,
with bad timing, one side may see its disconnect "fail" with
a result of "state change failed by peer", and interpret this as
"please oudate yourself".

Try to catch this by checking for current connection status,
and possibly retry as local-only state change instead.

<title>drbd: do not block when adjusting "disk-options" while IO is frozen</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f708bd08ecbdc23d03aaedf5b3311ebe44cfdb50</id>
<content type='text'>
"suspending" IO is overloaded.
It can mean "do not allow new requests" (obviously),
but it also may mean "must not complete pending IO",
for example while the fencing handlers do their arbitration.

When adjusting disk options, we suspend io (disallow new requests), then
wait for the activity-log to become unused (drain all IO completions),
and possibly replace it with a new activity log of different size.

If the other "suspend IO" aspect is active, pending IO completions won't
happen, and we would block forever (unkillable drbdsetup process).

Fix this by skipping the activity log adjustment if the "al-extents"
setting did not change. Also, in case it did change, fail early without
blocking if it looks like we would block forever.
