/*
 * An io_cq (icq) is association between an io_context (ioc) and a
 * request_queue (q).  This is used by elevators which need to track
 * information per ioc - q pair.
 *
 * Elevator can request use of icq by setting elevator_type->icq_size and
 * ->icq_align.  Both size and align must be larger than that of struct
 * io_cq and elevator can use the tail area for private information.  The
 * recommended way to do this is defining a struct which contains io_cq as
 * the first member followed by private members and using its size and
 * align.  For example,
 *
 *	struct snail_io_cq {
 *		struct io_cq	icq;
 *		int		poke_snail;
 *		int		feed_snail;
 *	};
 *
 *	struct elevator_type snail_elv_type {
 *		.ops =		{ ... },
 *		.icq_size =	sizeof(struct snail_io_cq),
 *		.icq_align =	__alignof__(struct snail_io_cq),
 *		...
 *	};
 *
 * If icq_size is set, block core will manage icq's.  All requests will
 * have its ->elv.icq field set before elevator_ops->elevator_set_req_fn()
 * is called and be holding a reference to the associated io_context.
 *
 * Whenever a new icq is created, elevator_ops->elevator_init_icq_fn() is
 * called and, on destruction, ->elevator_exit_icq_fn().  Both functions
 * are called with both the associated io_context and queue locks held.
 *
 * Elevator is allowed to lookup icq using ioc_lookup_icq() while holding
 * queue lock but the returned icq is valid only until the queue lock is
 * released.  Elevators can not and should not try to create or destroy
 * icq's.
 *
 * As icq's are linked from both ioc and q, the locking rules are a bit
 * complex.
 *
 * - ioc lock nests inside q lock.
 *
 * - ioc->icq_list and icq->ioc_node are protected by ioc lock.
 *   q->icq_list and icq->q_node by q lock.
 *
 * - ioc->icq_tree and ioc->icq_hint are protected by ioc lock, while icq
 *   itself is protected by q lock.  However, both the indexes and icq
 *   itself are also RCU managed and lookup can be performed holding only
 *   the q lock.
 *
 * - icq's are not reference counted.  They are destroyed when either the
 *   ioc or q goes away.  Each request with icq set holds an extra
 *   reference to ioc to ensure it stays until the request is completed.
 *
 * - Linking and unlinking icq's are performed while holding both ioc and q
 *   locks.  Due to the lock ordering, q exit is simple but ioc exit
 *   requires reverse-order double lock dance.
