26308eab69 block: fix inconsistency in I/O stat accounting code
This forces in_flight to be zero when turning off or on the I/O stat
accounting and stops updating I/O stats in attempt_merge() when
accounting is turned off.

6c7e8cee6a block: elevator quiescing helpers
Simple helper functions to quiesce the request queue. These are
currently only used for switching IO schedulers on-the-fly, but
we can use them to properly switch IO accounting on and off as well.

c69fc56de1 cpumask: use topology_core_cpumask/topology_thread_cpumask instead of cpu_core_map/cpu_sibling_map
Impact: cleanup

This is presumably what those definitions are for, and while all archs
define cpu_core_map/cpu_sibling map, that's changing (eg. x86 wants to
change it to a pointer).

fb8ec18c31 block: fix oops in blk_queue_io_stat()
Some initial probe requests don't have disk->queue mapped yet, so we
can't rely on a non-NULL queue in blk_queue_io_stat(). Wrap it in
blk_do_io_stat().

be4d638c15 cpumask: Replace cpu_coregroup_map with cpu_coregroup_mask
cpu_coregroup_map returned a cpumask_t: it's going away.

(Note, the sched part of this patch won't apply meaningfully to the
sched tree, but I'm posting it to show the goal).

f73e2d13a1 block: remove __generic_unplug_device() from exports
The only out-of-core user is IDE, and that should be using
blk_start_queueing() instead.

581d4e28d9 block: add fault injection mechanism for faking request timeouts
Only works for the generic request timer handling. Allows one to
sporadically ignore request completions, thus exercising the timeout
handling.

242f9dcb8b block: unify request timeout handling
Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
Move those bits to the block layer.

Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
less timer fiddling.

c7c22e4d5c block: add support for IO CPU affinity
This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
(bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
for completion on that specific CPU.

In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.

This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only
work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp
helper infrastructure.

7ba1ba12ee block: Block layer data integrity support
Some block devices support verifying the integrity of requests by way
of checksums or other protection information that is submitted along
with the I/O.

This patch implements support for generating and verifying integrity
metadata, as well as correctly merging, splitting and cloning bios and
requests that have this extra information attached.

See Documentation/block/data-integrity.txt for more information.

2a4aa30c5f block: rename and export rq_init()
This rename rq_init() blk_rq_init() and export it. Any path that hands
the request to the block layer needs to call it to initialize the
request.

This is a preparation for large command support, which needs to
initialize the request in a proper way (that is, just doing a memset()
will not work).
