[PATCH v6 0/2] block/dm: support bio polling

[Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>]

Hi,

I've rebased Ming's latest [1] ontop of dm-5.18 [2] (which is based on
for-5.18/block). End result available in dm-5.18-biopoll branch [3]

These changes add bio polling support to DM.  Tested with linear and
striped DM targets.

IOPS improvement was ~5% on my baremetal system with a single Intel
Optane NVMe device (561K hipri=1 vs 530K hipri=0).

Ming has seen better improvement while testing within a VM:
 dm-linear: hipri=1 vs hipri=0 15~20% iops improvement
 dm-stripe: hipri=1 vs hipri=0 ~30% iops improvement

I'd like to merge these changes via the DM tree when the 5.18 merge
window opens.  The first block patch that adds ->poll_bio to
block_device_operations will need review so that I can take it
through the DM tree.  Reason for going through the DM tree is there
have been some fairly extensive changes queued in dm-5.18 that build
on for-5.18/block.  So I think it easiest to just add the block
depenency via DM tree since DM is first consumer of ->poll_bio

Thanks,
Mike

v6: Ming switched from reusing .bi_end_io to .bi_private and added a
    comment to comment-block above dm_get_bio_hlist_head as suggested
    by Jens.

v5: remove WARN_ONs in ->poll_bio interface patch. Fixed comment typo
    along the way (found while seeing how other
    block_device_operations are referenced in block's code comments).

  block: add ->poll_bio to block_device_operations
  dm: support bio polling
