dm-ploop: fsync after all pios are sent
Currently there are two workers one to handle pios,
one to handle flush (via vfs_fsync). This workers are
created unbound which means they are run whenever there is a free
CPU. When ploop sends pios (via ploop_dispatch_pios) it checks
if there are data and if there are flush pios. If both are
present both workers are scheduled to run. Which results in
a lot of writes and sync in parallel - which is slow and incorrect.
Slow due to the underlaying fs trying to write and sync, instead of
cache writes and then sync them. And incorrect due to the fact
that REQ_FLUSH ploop handles must complete after all is send to disk
which when run in parallel is not guaranteed to happen.
To address this process flushes after all pending pios are processed
and submitted and then process any pending flushes.

Patchset description:
ploop: optimistations and scalling
Ploop processes requsts in a different threads in parallel
where possible which results in significant improvement in
performance and makes further optimistations possible.
Known bugs:
- delayed metadata writeback is not working and is missing error handling
- patch to disable it until fixed
- fast path is not working - causes rcu lockups - patch to disable it
Further improvements:
- optimize md pages lookups
Alexander Atanasov (50):
dm-ploop: md_pages map all pages at creation time
dm-ploop: Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to access md page data
dm-ploop: fsync after all pios are sent
dm-ploop: move md status to use proper bitops
dm-ploop: convert wait_list and wb_batch_llist to use lockless lists
dm-ploop: convert enospc handling to use lockless lists
dm-ploop: convert suspended_pios list to use lockless list
dm-ploop: convert the rest of the lists to use llist variant
dm-ploop: combine processing of pios thru prepare list and remove
fsync worker
dm-ploop: move from wq to kthread
dm-ploop: move preparations of pios into the caller from worker
dm-ploop: fast path execution for reads
dm-ploop: do not use a wrapper for set_bit to make a page writeback
dm-ploop: BAT use only one list for writeback
dm-ploop: make md writeback timeout to be per page
dm-ploop: add interface to disable bat writeback delay
dm-ploop: convert wb_batch_list to lockless variant

completion
dm-ploop: make ploop_submit_metadata_writeback return number of
requests sent

dm-ploop: use lockless lists for data ready pios
dm-ploop: give runner threads better name
dm-ploop: resize operation - add holes bitmap locking
dm-ploop: remove unnecessary operations
dm-ploop: use filp per thread
dm-ploop: catch if we try to advance pio past bio end
dm-ploop: support REQ_FUA for data pios
dm-ploop: proplerly access nr_bat_entries
dm-ploop: fix locking and improve error handling when submitting pios
dm-ploop: fix how ENOTBLK is handled
dm-ploop: sync when suspended or stopping
dm-ploop: rework bat completion logic
dm-ploop: rework logic in pio processing
dm-ploop: end fsync pios in parallel
dm-ploop: make filespace preallocations async
dm-ploop: resubmit enospc pios from dispatcher thread
dm-ploop: dm-ploop: simplify discard completion
dm-ploop: use GFP_ATOMIC instead of GFP_NOIO
dm-ploop: fix locks used in mixed context
dm-ploop: fix how current flags are managed inside threads
Andrey Zhadchenko (13):
dm-ploop: do not flush after metadata writes
dm-ploop: set IOCB_DSYNC on all FUA requests
