dm-ploop: fix how ENOTBLK is handled
direct IO write result ENOTBLK or 0(in ext4 case) means
retry IO in buffered mode. We wrongly assumed that it is
a short write and handled it incorrectly
Since we can not retry in buffered mode, code is not ready
for it. Take a different route. This error happens if
page invalidation fails, which is a very rare situation.
So call synchronize_rcu() and just resubmit pio.
Try this three times and end pio with error.

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
dm-ploop: convert high_prio to status
dm-ploop: split cow processing into two functions
dm-ploop: convert md page rw lock to spin lock
dm-ploop: convert bat_rwlock to bat_lock spinlock
dm-ploop: prepare bat updates under bat_lock
dm-ploop: make ploop_bat_write_complete ready for parallel pio
completion
dm-ploop: make ploop_submit_metadata_writeback return number of
requests sent
dm-ploop: introduce pio runner threads
dm-ploop: add pio list ids to be used when passing pios to runners
dm-ploop: process pios via runners
dm-ploop: disable metadata writeback delay
dm-ploop: disable fast path
dm-ploop: use lockless lists for chained cow updates list
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
dm-ploop: remove extra ploop_cluster_is_in_top_delta()
dm-ploop: introduce per-md page locking
dm-ploop: reduce BAT accesses on discard completion
dm-ploop: simplify llseek
dm-ploop: speed up ploop_prepare_bat_update()
dm-ploop: make new allocations immediately visible in BAT
dm-ploop: drop ploop_cluster_is_in_top_delta()
dm-ploop: do not wait for BAT update for non-FUA requests
dm-ploop: add delay for metadata writeback
dm-ploop: submit all postponed metadata on REQ_OP_FLUSH
dm-ploop: handle REQ_PREFLUSH
Feature: dm-ploop: ploop target driver
