passthrough request improvements V3

passthrough request improvements V3

[Christoph Hellwig]

These days we have a lot more users of struct request for driver internal
use than just REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC, so let's polish this infrastructure
up a bit.

Changes since V2:
 - really drop zeroing ->cmd from blk_get_request
 - add ACK from Boaz
Changes since V1:
 - keep blk_rq_set_block_pc for now and leave zeroing ->cmd in it

[PATCH 1/7] memstick: don't allow REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests

[Christoph Hellwig]

There is no code to issue or handle REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC request in the
memstick drivers, so remove the bogus conditional.

[PATCH 2/7] virtio_blk: use blk_rq_map_kern

[Christoph Hellwig]

Similar to how SCSI and NVMe prepare passthrough requests.  This avoids
poking into request internals too much.

[PATCH 3/7] block: ensure bios return from blk_get_request are properly initialized

[Christoph Hellwig]

blk_get_request is used for BLOCK_PC and similar passthrough requests.
Currently we always need to call blk_rq_set_block_pc or an open coded
version of it to allow appending bios using the request mapping helpers
later on, which is a somewhat awkward API.  Instead move the
initialization part of blk_rq_set_block_pc into blk_get_request, so that
we always have a safe to use request.

[PATCH 4/7] block: simplify and export blk_rq_append_bio

[Christoph Hellwig]

The target SCSI passthrough backend is much better served with the low-level
blk_rq_append_bio construct then the helpers built on top of it, so export it.

Also use the opportunity to remove the pointless request_queue argument and
make the code flow a little more readable.

[PATCH 5/7] target: stop using blk_make_request

[Christoph Hellwig]

Using blk_rq_append_bio allows to append the bios to the request
directly instead of having to build up a list first, and also
allows to have a single code path for requests with or without
data attached to them.

[PATCH 6/7] scsi/osd: open code blk_make_request

[Christoph Hellwig]

I wish the OSD code could simply use blk_rq_map_* helpers like
everyone else, but the complex nature of deciding if we have
DATA IN and/or DATA OUT buffers might make this impossible
(at least for a mere human like me).

But using blk_rq_append_bio at least allows sharing the setup code
between request with or without dat a buffers, and given that this
is the last user of blk_make_request it allows getting rid of that
somewhat awkward interface.
