[Devel] [PATCH vz7 v5] ploop: restrict the standby mode flag to work only on devices supporting it

In commit 80da9c2abac9 (ploop: add a standby mode) a flag
on the block device's request queue was added to put the queue
into standby mode on EBUSY. Later on, the list with errors was extended
in commit e868f1e0b1a3 (ploop: move to standby after -ENOTCONN too) and
in commit 4b1eb3f667eb (ploop: kaio: Enter standby mode on EIO as well).

These were introduced to solve a problem on a specific device,
that will clear the standby flag at some point.
But the problem is that the clear counterpart is missing
for the rest of the devices, so once ploop gets one of the errors
it stops processing requests indefinitely.

The flag is cleared at ploop_start(...) and ploop_replace_delta(...),
while it is obvious that ploop_start would not clear the flag on error,
ploop_replace_delta(...) is an user initiated operation and it can not
be used when ploop is in maintenace mode.

To solve this introduce a static key to enable the flag handling only
when key is enabled - checks are at the start and at the end of
every request and we want to avoid performance impact from these checks.

On systems where we are in mixed mode, meaning we have both devices that
support the standby flag and devices that do not, a QUEUE_FLAG_STANDBY_EN
is introduced to indicate the standby support from the device.
Setting the QUEUE_FLAG_STANDBY_EN means the device promises to clear
QUEUE_FLAG_STANDBY flag when it recovers, so ploop can continue processing
requests.

The state of the flags is exported via /sys/block/*/queue/standby,
or at /sys/devices/virtual/block/*/queue depending on the device.
not supported - no enabled on the queue
on - queue is in standby mode, not processing requests
off - queue is processing requests
