Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "The biggest part of this pull request is the revert of the blkcg
  cleanup series. It had one fix earlier for a stacked device issue, but
  another one was reported. Rather than play whack-a-mole with this,
  revert the entire series and try again for the next kernel release.

  Apart from that, only small fixes/changes.

  Summary:

   - Indentation fixup for mtip32xx (Colin Ian King)

   - The blkcg cleanup series revert (Dennis Zhou)

   - Two NVMe fixes. One fixing a regression in the nvme request
     initialization in this merge window, causing nvme-fc to not work.
     The other is a suspend/resume p2p resource issue (James, Keith)

   - Fix sg discard merge, allowing us to merge in cases where we didn't
     before (Jianchao Wang)

   - Call rq_qos_exit() after the queue is frozen, preventing a hang
     (Ming)

   - Fix brd queue setup, fixing an oops if we fail setting up all
     devices (Ming)"

* tag 'for-linus-20181102' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:

This reverts a series committed earlier due to null pointer exception
bug report in [1]. It seems there are edge case interactions that I did
not consider and will need some time to understand what causes the
adverse interactions.

The original series can be found in [2] with a follow up series in [3].

<title>mm: split SWP_FILE into SWP_ACTIVATED and SWP_FS</title>
<updated>2018-10-26T23:38:15Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=bc4ae27d817a4e92071ef67cb6368120cfabe7ec'/>
<id>urn:sha1:bc4ae27d817a4e92071ef67cb6368120cfabe7ec</id>
<content type='text'>
The SWP_FILE flag serves two purposes: to make swap_{read,write}page() go
through the filesystem, and to make swapoff() call -&gt;swap_deactivate().
For Btrfs, we want the latter but not the former, so split this flag into
two.  This makes us always call -&gt;swap_deactivate() if -&gt;swap_activate()
succeeded, not just if it didn't add any swap extents itself.

This also resolves the issue of the very misleading name of SWP_FILE,
which is only used for swap files over NFS.

<title>iov_iter: Separate type from direction and use accessor functions</title>

<id>urn:sha1:aa563d7bca6e882ec2bdae24603c8f016401a144</id>
<content type='text'>
In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator
direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places.

Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather
then chains of bitwise-AND statements.  This makes it easier to add further
iterator types.  Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch
of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare
instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions.

Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function.
The iterator function can set that itself.  Only the direction is required.

<title>blkcg: associate a blkg for pages being evicted by swap</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74b7c02a9bc124ee3df0d77880ee26db0a325516</id>
<content type='text'>
A prior patch in this series added blkg association to bios issued by
cgroups. There are two other paths that we want to attribute work back
to the appropriate cgroup: swap and writeback. Here we modify the way
swap tags bios to include the blkg. Writeback will be tackle in the next
patch.

For backcharging we need to know who the page belongs to when swapping
it out.  We don't worry about things that do -&gt;rw_page (zram etc) at the
moment, we're only worried about pages that actually go to a block
device.

Just like REQ_META, it's important to know the IO coming down is swap
in order to guard against potential IO priority inversion issues with
cgroups.  Add REQ_SWAP and use it for all swap IO, and add it to our
bio_issue_as_root_blkg helper.

<title>mm, swap: skip swapcache for swapin of synchronous device</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=0bcac06f27d7528591c27ac2b093ccd71c5d0168'/>
<id>urn:sha1:0bcac06f27d7528591c27ac2b093ccd71c5d0168</id>
<content type='text'>
With fast swap storage, the platforms want to use swap more aggressively
and swap-in is crucial to application latency.

The rw_page() based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such
fast storage.  When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4
decompress test, S/W overhead is more than 70%.  Maybe, it would be
bigger in nvdimm.

This patch aims to reduce swap-in latency by skipping swapcache if the
swap device is synchronous device like rw_page based device.  It
enhances 45% my swapin test(5G sequential swapin, no readahead, from
2.41sec to 1.64sec).
