Move the poll flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can
be set atomically with the queue frozen.
Stacking drivers are simplified in that they now can simply set the
flag, and blk_stack_limits will clear it when the features is not
supported by any of the underlying devices.

Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can
be set atomically with the queue frozen.
Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require
the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the
sysfs interface.
For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new
rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite
this being a behavior change. There are some other drivers that
unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior
as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is
probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd).
The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the
existing behavior in dm and md.

Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that the flags
can be set atomically with the device queue frozen.
Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal
(usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer. Note that we'll
eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the
previous size.
The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which
means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and
max_discard_sectors user limits.
The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which
simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior
change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache
despite setting num_flush_bios to 0. The I/O path will handle this
gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios
and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those
targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios
should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.

One the one hand, it's marked EXPERIMENTAL since 2017, and looks like
there are no users since then, and no testers and no developers, it's
just not active at all.
On the other hand, even if the config is disabled, there are still many
fields in throtl_grp and throtl_data and many functions that are only
used for throtl low.
At last, currently blk-throtl is initialized during disk initialization,
and destroyed during disk removal, and it exposes many functions to be
called directly from block layer.
Remove throtl low to make code much more cleaner and follow up work much

In preparation for adding a generic zone append emulation using zone
write plugging, allow device drivers supporting zoned block device to
set a the max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of a device to 0 to
indicate the lack of native support for zone append operations and that
the block layer should emulate these operations using regular write
operations.
blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is modified to allow passing 0 as
the max_zone_append_sectors argument. The function
queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is also modified to ensure that the
minimum of the max_hw_sectors and chunk_sectors limit is used whenever
the max_zone_append_sectors limit is 0. This minimum is consistent with
the value set for the max_zone_append_sectors limit by the function
blk_validate_zoned_limits() when limits for a queue are validated.
The helper functions queue_emulates_zone_append() and
bdev_emulates_zone_append() are added to test if a queue (or block
device) emulates zone append operations.
In order for blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to accept zoned block devices
relying on zone append emulation, the direct check to the
max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of the disk is replaced by a check
using the value returned by queue_max_zone_append_sectors(). Similarly,
queue_zone_append_max_show() is modified to use the same accessor so
that the sysfs attribute advertizes the non-zero limit that will be
used, regardless if it is for native or emulated commands.
For stacking drivers, a top device should not need to care if the
underlying devices have native or emulated zone append operations.
blk_stack_limits() is thus modified to set the top device
max_zone_append_sectors limit using the new accessor
queue_limits_max_zone_append_sectors(). queue_max_zone_append_sectors()
is modified to use this function as well. Stacking drivers that require
zone append emulation, e.g. dm-crypt, can still request this feature by
calling blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() with a 0 limit.

When zones were first added the SCSI and ATA specs, two different
models were supported (in addition to the drive managed one that
is invisible to the host):
- host managed where non-conventional zones there is strict requirement
to write at the write pointer, or else an error is returned
- host aware where a write point is maintained if writes always happen
at it, otherwise it is left in an under-defined state and the
sequential write preferred zones behave like conventional zones
(probably very badly performing ones, though)
Not surprisingly this lukewarm model didn't prove to be very useful and
was finally removed from the ZBC and SBC specs (NVMe never implemented
it). Due to to the easily disappearing write pointer host software
could never rely on the write pointer to actually be useful for say
recovery.
Fortunately only a few HDD prototypes shipped using this model which
never made it to mass production. Drop the support before it is too
late. Note that any such host aware prototype HDD can still be used
with Linux as we'll now treat it as a conventional HDD.

Currently the write_cache attribute allows enabling the QUEUE_FLAG_WC
flag on devices that never claimed the capability.
Fix that by adding a QUEUE_FLAG_HW_WC flag that is set by
blk_queue_write_cache and guards re-enabling the cache through sysfs.
Note that any rescan that calls blk_queue_write_cache will still
re-enable the write cache as in the current code.

/sys/block/<dev>/queue/max_sectors_kb attribute. If the device limits
are ever rescanned, though, the limit reverts back to the potentially

The block debugfs files are created in blk_register_queue, which is
called by add_disk and use a naming scheme based on the disk_name.
After del_gendisk returns that name can be reused and thus we must not
leave these debugfs files around, otherwise the kernel is unhappy
and spews messages like:
Directory XXXXX with parent 'block' already present!
and the newly created devices will not have working debugfs files.
Move the unregistration to blk_unregister_queue instead (which matches
the sysfs unregistration) to make sure the debugfs life time rules match
those of the disk name.
As part of the move also make sure the whole debugfs unregistration is
inside a single debugfs_mutex critical section.
Note that this breaks blktests block/002, which checks that the debugfs
directory has not been removed while blktests is running, but that
particular check should simply be removed from the test case.
