block: avoid using uninitialized value in from queue_var_store

Date	Wed, 3 Apr 2013 15:30:52 +0000

As found by gcc-4.8, the QUEUE_SYSFS_BIT_FNS macro creates functions
that use a value generated by queue_var_store independent of whether
that value was set or not.

block/blk-sysfs.c: In function 'queue_store_nonrot':
block/blk-sysfs.c:244:385: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Unlike most other such warnings, this one is not a false positive,
writing any non-number string into the sysfs files indeed has
an undefined result, rather than returning an error.

block: recursive merge requests

In my workload, thread 1 accesses a, a+2, ..., thread 2 accesses a+1,
a+3,.... When the requests are flushed to queue, a and a+1 are merged
to (a, a+1), a+2 and a+3 too to (a+2, a+3), but (a, a+1) and (a+2, a+3)
aren't merged.
With recursive merge below, the workload throughput gets improved 20%
and context switch drops 60%.

block: Fix bad range check in bio_sector_offset

DM would occasionally end up splitting data integrity-enabled requests
incorrectly. The culprit was a bad range check in bio_sector_offset.

block: blk-core: add printk_ratelimit

On failure of requests the console is flooded with prints,
which result in a watchdog bark.
This patch limits the number of prints to console thus, avoiding
the bark.
