make sure we don't try to acquire disk-&gt;open_mutex after freezing
the queue.

<title>block: fix that util can be greater than 100%</title>

<content type='text'>
util means the percentage that disk has IO, and theoretically it should
not be greater than 100%. However, there is a gap for rq-based disk:

io_ticks will be updated when rq is allocated, however, before such rq
dispatch to driver, it will not be account as inflight from
blk_mq_start_request() hence diskstats_show()/part_stat_show() will not
update io_ticks. For example:

1) at t0, issue a new IO, rq is allocated, and blk_account_io_start()
update io_ticks;

2) something is wrong with drivers, and the rq can't be dispatched;

3) at t0 + 10s, drivers recovers and rq is dispatched and done, io_ticks
is updated;

Then if user is using "iostat 1" to monitor "util", between t0 - t0+9s,
util will be zero, and between t0+9s - t0+10s, util will be 1000%.

Fix this problem by updating io_ticks from diskstats_show() and
part_stat_show() if there are rq allocated.

<title>block: support to account io_ticks precisely</title>

<id>urn:sha1:99dc422335d8b2bd4d105797241d3e715bae90e9</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, io_ticks is accounted based on sampling, specifically
update_io_ticks() will always account io_ticks by 1 jiffies from
bdev_start_io_acct()/blk_account_io_start(), and the result can be
inaccurate, for example(HZ is 250):

Test script:
fio -filename=/dev/sda -bs=4k -rw=write -direct=1 -name=test -thinktime=4ms

Test result: util is about 90%, while the disk is really idle.

This behaviour is introduced by commit 5b18b5a73760 ("block: delete
part_round_stats and switch to less precise counting"), however, there
was a key point that is missed that this patch also improve performance
a lot:

Before the commit:
part_round_stats:
  if (part-&gt;stamp != now)
   stats |= 1;

  part_in_flight()
  -&gt; there can be lots of task here in 1 jiffies.
  part_round_stats_single()
   __part_stat_add()
  part-&gt;stamp = now;

After the commit:
update_io_ticks:
  stamp = part-&gt;bd_stamp;
  if (time_after(now, stamp))
   if (try_cmpxchg())
    __part_stat_add()
    -&gt; only one task can reach here in 1 jiffies.

Hence in order to account io_ticks precisely, we only need to know if
there are IO inflight at most once in one jiffies. Noted that for
rq-based device, iterating tags should not be used here because
'tags-&gt;lock' is grabbed in blk_mq_find_and_get_req(), hence
part_stat_lock_inc/dec() and part_in_flight() is used to trace inflight.
The additional overhead is quite little:

 - per cpu add/dec for each IO for rq-based device;
 - per cpu sum for each jiffies;

And it's verified by null-blk that there are no performance degration
under heavy IO pressure.

Userspace had been unknowingly relying on a non-stable interface of
kernel internals to determine if partition scanning is enabled for a
given disk. Provide a stable interface for this purpose instead.

Add a helper to check if partition scanning is enabled instead of
open coding the check in a few places.  This now always checks for
the hidden flag even if all but one of the callers are never reachable
for hidden gendisks.

bdev_unhash(): make block device invisible to lookups by device number
bdev_drop(): drop reference to associated inode.

Both are internal, for use by genhd and partition-related code - similar
to bdev_add().  The logics in there (especially the lifetime-related
parts of it) ought to be cleaned up, but that's a separate story; here
we just encapsulate getting to associated inode.
