dm: fix incomplete request_queue initialization
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
DM is no longer prone to having its request_queue be improperly
initialized.

Summary of changes:

- defer DM's blk_register_queue() from add_disk()-time until
  dm_setup_md_queue() by using add_disk_no_queue_reg() in alloc_dev().

- dm_setup_md_queue() is updated to fully initialize DM's request_queue
  (_after_ all table loads have occurred and the request_queue's type,
  features and limits are known).

A very welcome side-effect of these changes is DM no longer needs to:
1) backfill the "mq" sysfs entry (because historically DM didn't
initialize the request_queue to use blk-mq until _after_
blk_register_queue() was called via add_disk()).
2) call elv_register_queue() to get .request_fn request-based DM
device's "iosched" exposed in syfs.

In addition, blk-mq debugfs support is now made available because
request-based DM's blk-mq request_queue is now properly initialized
before dm_setup_md_queue() calls blk_register_queue().

These changes also stave off the need to introduce new DM-specific
workarounds in block core, e.g. this proposal:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10067961/

In the end DM devices should be less unicorn in nature (relative to
initialization and availability of block core infrastructure provided by
the request_queue).
