Since I can remember DM has forced the block layer to allow the
allocation and initialization of the request_queue to be distinct
operations. Reason for this was block/genhd.c:add_disk() has required
that the request_queue (and associated bdi) be tied to the gendisk
before add_disk() is called -- because add_disk() also deals with
exposing the request_queue via blk_register_queue().
DM's dynamic creation of arbitrary device types (and associated
request_queue types) requires the DM device's gendisk be available so
that DM table loads can establish a master/slave relationship with
subordinate devices that are referenced by loaded DM tables -- using
bd_link_disk_holder(). But until these DM tables, and their associated
subordinate devices, are known DM cannot know what type of request_queue
it needs -- nor what its queue_limits should be.
This chicken and egg scenario has created all manner of problems for DM
and, at times, the block layer.
Summary of changes:
- Adjust device_add_disk() so that that it can cope with the gendisk _not_
having its 'queue' established yet.
- Remove del_gendisk()'s WARN_ON() if disk->queue is NULL
- Move "bdi" symlink creation from register_disk() to the end of
blk_register_queue() -- it is more logical in that the bdi is part of
the request_queue.
- Move extra request_queue reference count (on behalf of gendisk) from
device_add_disk() to end of blk_register_queue().
- Make device_add_disk()'s calls to bdi_register_owner() and
blk_register_queue() conditional on disk->queue not being NULL.
- Export blk_register_queue()
These changes allow DM to use device_add_disk() to anchor its gendisk as
the "master" for master/slave relationships DM must establish with
subordinate devices referenced in DM tables that get loaded. Once all
"slave" devices for a DM device are known a request_queue can be
properly initialized and then advertised via sysfs -- important
improvement being that no request_queue resource initialization is
missed.
These changes have been tested to work without any IO races because the
request_queue and associated bdi don't even exist at the time that the
gendisk's "struct device"s are established by device_add_disk(). I've
been mindful of historic bugs, and haven't experienced them with DM,
e.g.: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16312 (fixed by commit
01ea5063 "block: Fix race during disk initialization")

Fix DM so that it no longer creates a place-holder request_queue that
doesn't reflect the actual way the request_queue will ulimately be used,
only to have to backfill proper queue and queue_limits initialization.
Instead, DM creates a gendisk that initially doesn't have a
request_queue at all. This serves to allow DM table loads to own
subordinate devices without first needing to know the aggregated
capabilities that will be needed of the DM device's request_queue. Once
all DM tables are loaded the request_queue is allocated and DM then
backfills its gendisk's ->queue member and associated sysfs and bdi
initialization via blk_register_queue().
DM is now no longer prone to having its request_queue be improperly
initialized.
Summary of changes:
- alloc_dev() doesn't pre-allocate a place-holder request_queue, and now
sets md->disk->queue to NULL before calling add_disk().
- dm_setup_md_queue() is updated to allocate and initialize the
DM's request_queue (_after_ all table loads have occurred and
request_queue type and features and limits are known).
- dm_setup_md_queue() must call bdi_register_owner() and
blk_register_queue() because they were not possible at
add_disk()-time (due to disk->queue being NULL).
Any future "why is disk->queue NULL!?" awkwardness is DM's to own and
shouldn't put more burden on block core (famous last words). So
potential issues related to disk->queue NULL pointer dereferences should
be for DM maintainer(s) to triage and address.
A very welcome side-effect of these changes is DM no longer needs to:
1) backfill the "mq" sysfs entry (because historically DM didn't
initialize the request_queue to use blk-mq until _after_
register_queue() was called via add_disk()).
2) call elv_register_queue() to get .request_fn request-based DM
device's "queue" exposed in syfs.
These changes also stave off the need to introduce new DM-specific
workarounds in block core, e.g. this proposal:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10067961/
In the end DM devices should be less unicorn in nature (relative to
initialization and availability of block core infrastructure).
