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.
[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

plat-omap/mailbox, floppy, viocd, mspro_block, i2o_block and
mmc/card/queue are already pretty close to dequeueing model and can be
converted with simple changes. Convert them.
While at it,
* xen-blkfront: !fs check moved downwards to share dequeue call with
normal path.
* mspro_block: __blk_end_request(..., blk_rq_cur_byte()) converted to
__blk_end_request_cur()
* mmc/card/queue: loop of __blk_end_request() converted to
__blk_end_request_all()
[ Impact: dequeue in-flight request ]

Commit 45711f1a ("[SG] Update drivers to use sg helpers") had the
following bogus change in drivers/mmc/card/queue.c:
> - src_buf = page_address(src->page) + src->offset;
> + src_buf = sg_virt(dst);
(Notice that "src" is converted to "dst"). Turn this "dst" back into
the intended "src".

Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
care for the freezing of tasks at all.
It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
done in this patch.
The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

is such a big performance hit, we (optionally) bounce the requests
to a simple linear buffer that we hand over to the driver.
