The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.
But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.
We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.
Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:
* nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
* axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
* simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
* brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
* mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
* loop_make_request
* null_queue_bio
* bcache's make_request fns
Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

DASD path verification requires the usage of sleep_on_immediatly to
ensure that no other I/O request is blocking the recovery of
disconnected devices. But two concurrent path verification workers for
the same device may kill each others requests due to the usage of the
immediate sleep_on function. This may lead to unsuccessful path
verifications.
Prevent that two parallel path verification workers conflict with
each other by implementing a device flag signalling a already running
worker.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

The dasd device driver selects which (alias or base) device is used
for a given requests when the request is build. If the chosen alias
device is set offline before the request gets queued to the device
queue the starting function may use device structures that are
already freed. This might lead to a hanging offline process or a
kernel panic.
Add a check to the starting function that returns the request to the
upper layer if the device is already in offline processing.
In addition to that prevent that an alias device that's already in
offline processing gets chosen as start device.

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.
Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.
There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

Formatting of a previously formatted device is slower than newly
format a device when alias devices are available.
For already formatted devices the alias devices are not used for
formatting.
Fix the alias handling for already formatted devices.

Pull second set of s390 patches from Martin Schwidefsky:
"The second part of Heikos uaccess rework, the page table walker for
uaccess is now a thing of the past (yay!)
The code change to fix the theoretical TLB flush problem allows us to
add a TLB flush optimization for zEC12, this machine has new
instructions that allow to do CPU local TLB flushes for single pages
and for all pages of a specific address space.
Plus the usual bug fixing and some more cleanup"
