Xiubo Li b6df4b79a5 tcmu: Add global data block pool support
For each target there will be one ring, when the target number
grows larger and larger, it could eventually runs out of the
system memories.

In this patch for each target ring, currently for the cmd area
the size will be fixed to 8MB and for the data area the size
will grow from 0 to max 256K * PAGE_SIZE(1G for 4K page size).

For all the targets' data areas, they will get empty blocks
from the "global data block pool", which has limited to 512K *
PAGE_SIZE(2G for 4K page size) for now.

When the "global data block pool" has been used up, then any
target could wake up the unmap thread routine to shrink other
targets' data area memories. And the unmap thread routine will
always try to truncate the ring vma from the last using block
offset.

When user space has touched the data blocks out of tcmu_cmd
iov[], the tcmu_page_fault() will try to return one zeroed blocks.

Here we move the timeout's tcmu_handle_completions() into unmap
thread routine, that's to say when the timeout fired, it will
only do the tcmu_check_expired_cmd() and then wake up the unmap
thread to do the completions() and then try to shrink its idle
memories. Then the cmdr_lock could be a mutex and could simplify
this patch because the unmap_mapping_range() or zap_* may go to
sleep.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
