A zone write plug BIO work function blk_zone_wplug_bio_work() calls
submit_bio_noacct_nocheck() to execute the next unplugged BIO. This
function may block. So executing zone plugs BIO works using the block
layer global kblockd workqueue can potentially lead to preformance or
latency issues as the number of concurrent work for a workqueue is
limited to WQ_DFL_ACTIVE (256).
1) For a system with a large number of zoned disks, issuing write
requests to otherwise unused zones may be delayed wiating for a work
thread to become available.
2) Requeue operations which use kblockd but are independent of zone
write plugging may alsoi end up being delayed.
To avoid these potential performance issues, create a workqueue per
zoned device to execute zone plugs BIO work. The workqueue max active
parameter is set to the maximum number of zone write plugs allocated
with the zone write plug mempool. This limit is equal to the maximum
number of open zones of the disk and defaults to 128 for disks that do
not have a limit on the number of open zones.

With the block layer zone write plugging being automatically done for
any write operation to a zone of a zoned block device, a regular request
plugging handled through current->plug can only ever see at most a
single write request per zone. In such case, any potential reordering
of the plugged requests will be harmless. We can thus remove the special
casing for write operations to zones and have these requests plugged as
well. This allows removing the function blk_mq_plug and instead directly

In preparation for adding a generic zone append emulation using zone
write plugging, allow device drivers supporting zoned block device to
set a the max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of a device to 0 to
indicate the lack of native support for zone append operations and that
the block layer should emulate these operations using regular write
operations.
blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is modified to allow passing 0 as
the max_zone_append_sectors argument. The function
queue_max_zone_append_sectors() is also modified to ensure that the
minimum of the max_hw_sectors and chunk_sectors limit is used whenever
the max_zone_append_sectors limit is 0. This minimum is consistent with
the value set for the max_zone_append_sectors limit by the function
blk_validate_zoned_limits() when limits for a queue are validated.
The helper functions queue_emulates_zone_append() and
bdev_emulates_zone_append() are added to test if a queue (or block
device) emulates zone append operations.
In order for blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to accept zoned block devices
relying on zone append emulation, the direct check to the
max_zone_append_sectors queue limit of the disk is replaced by a check
using the value returned by queue_max_zone_append_sectors(). Similarly,
queue_zone_append_max_show() is modified to use the same accessor so
that the sysfs attribute advertizes the non-zero limit that will be
used, regardless if it is for native or emulated commands.
For stacking drivers, a top device should not need to care if the
underlying devices have native or emulated zone append operations.
blk_stack_limits() is thus modified to set the top device
max_zone_append_sectors limit using the new accessor
queue_limits_max_zone_append_sectors(). queue_max_zone_append_sectors()
is modified to use this function as well. Stacking drivers that require
zone append emulation, e.g. dm-crypt, can still request this feature by
calling blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() with a 0 limit.

Zone write plugging implements a per-zone "plug" for write operations
to control the submission and execution order of write operations to
sequential write required zones of a zoned block device. Per-zone
plugging guarantees that at any time there is at most only one write
request per zone being executed. This mechanism is intended to replace
zone write locking which implements a similar per-zone write throttling
at the scheduler level, but is implemented only by mq-deadline.
Unlike zone write locking which operates on requests, zone write
plugging operates on BIOs. A zone write plug is simply a BIO list that
is atomically manipulated using a spinlock and a kblockd submission
work. A write BIO to a zone is "plugged" to delay its execution if a
write BIO for the same zone was already issued, that is, if a write
request for the same zone is being executed. The next plugged BIO is
unplugged and issued once the write request completes.
This mechanism allows to:
- Untangle zone write ordering from block IO schedulers. This allows
removing the restriction on using mq-deadline for writing to zoned
block devices. Any block IO scheduler, including "none" can be used.
- Zone write plugging operates on BIOs instead of requests. Plugged
BIOs waiting for execution thus do not hold scheduling tags and thus
are not preventing other BIOs from executing (reads or writes to
other zones). Depending on the workload, this can significantly
improve the device use (higher queue depth operation) and
performance.
- Both blk-mq (request based) zoned devices and BIO-based zoned devices
(e.g. device mapper) can use zone write plugging. It is mandatory
for the former but optional for the latter. BIO-based drivers can
use zone write plugging to implement write ordering guarantees, or
the drivers can implement their own if needed.
- The code is less invasive in the block layer and is mostly limited to
blk-zoned.c with some small changes in blk-mq.c, blk-merge.c and
bio.c.
Zone write plugging is implemented using struct blk_zone_wplug. This
structure includes a spinlock, a BIO list and a work structure to
handle the submission of plugged BIOs. Zone write plugs structures are
managed using a per-disk hash table.
Plugging of zone write BIOs is done using the function
blk_zone_write_plug_bio() which returns false if a BIO execution does
not need to be delayed and true otherwise. This function is called
from blk_mq_submit_bio() after a BIO is split to avoid large BIOs
spanning multiple zones which would cause mishandling of zone write
plugs. This ichange enables by default zone write plugging for any mq
request-based block device. BIO-based device drivers can also use zone
write plugging by expliclty calling blk_zone_write_plug_bio() in their
->submit_bio method. For such devices, the driver must ensure that a
BIO passed to blk_zone_write_plug_bio() is already split and not
straddling zone boundaries.
Only write and write zeroes BIOs are plugged. Zone write plugging does
not introduce any significant overhead for other operations. A BIO that
is being handled through zone write plugging is flagged using the new
BIO flag BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING. A request handling a BIO flagged with
this new flag is flagged with the new RQF_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING flag.
The completion of BIOs and requests flagged trigger respectively calls
to the functions blk_zone_write_bio_endio() and
blk_zone_write_complete_request(). The latter function is used to
trigger submission of the next plugged BIO using the zone plug work.
blk_zone_write_bio_endio() does the same for BIO-based devices.
This ensures that at any time, at most one request (blk-mq devices) or
one BIO (BIO-based devices) is being executed for any zone. The
handling of zone write plugs using a per-zone plug spinlock maximizes
parallelism and device usage by allowing multiple zones to be writen
simultaneously without lock contention.
Zone write plugging ignores flush BIOs without data. Hovever, any flush
BIO that has data is always plugged so that the write part of the flush
sequence is serialized with other regular writes.
Given that any BIO handled through zone write plugging will be the only
BIO in flight for the target zone when it is executed, the unplugging
and submission of a BIO will have no chance of successfully merging with
plugged requests or requests in the scheduler. To overcome this
potential performance degradation, blk_mq_submit_bio() calls the
function blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge() to try to merge other
plugged BIOs with the one just unplugged and submitted. Successful
merging is signaled using blk_zone_write_plug_bio_merged(), called from
bio_attempt_back_merge(). Furthermore, to avoid recalculating the number
of segments of plugged BIOs to attempt merging, the number of segments
of a plugged BIO is saved using the new struct bio field
__bi_nr_segments. To avoid growing the size of struct bio, this field is
added as a union with the bio_cookie field. This is safe to do as
polling is always disabled for plugged BIOs.
When BIOs are plugged in a zone write plug, the device request queue
usage counter is always incremented. This reference is kept and reused
for blk-mq devices when the plugged BIO is unplugged and submitted
again using submit_bio_noacct_nocheck(). For this case, the unplugged
BIO is already flagged with BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING and
blk_mq_submit_bio() proceeds directly to allocating a new request for
the BIO, re-using the usage reference count taken when the BIO was
plugged. This extra reference count is dropped in
blk_zone_write_plug_attempt_merge() for any plugged BIO that is
successfully merged. Given that BIO-based devices will not take this
path, the extra reference is dropped after a plugged BIO is unplugged
and submitted.
Zone write plugs are dynamically allocated and managed using a hash
table (an array of struct hlist_head) with RCU protection.
A zone write plug is allocated when a write BIO is received for the
zone and not freed until the zone is fully written, reset or finished.
To detect when a zone write plug can be freed, the write state of each
zone is tracked using a write pointer offset which corresponds to the
offset of a zone write pointer relative to the zone start. Write
operations always increment this write pointer offset. Zone reset
operations set it to 0 and zone finish operations set it to the zone
size.
If a write error happens, the wp_offset value of a zone write plug may
become incorrect and out of sync with the device managed write pointer.
This is handled using the zone write plug flag BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_ERROR.
The function blk_zone_wplug_handle_error() is called from the new disk
zone write plug work when this flag is set. This function executes a
report zone to update the zone write pointer offset to the current
value as indicated by the device. The disk zone write plug work is
scheduled whenever a BIO flagged with BIO_ZONE_WRITE_PLUGGING completes
with an error or when bio_zone_wplug_prepare_bio() detects an unaligned
write. Once scheduled, the disk zone write plugs work keeps running
until all zone errors are handled.
To match the new data structures used for zoned disks, the function
disk_free_zone_bitmaps() is renamed to the more generic
disk_free_zone_resources(). The function disk_init_zone_resources() is
also introduced to initialize zone write plugs resources when a gendisk
is allocated.
In order to guarantee that the user can simultaneously write up to a
number of zones equal to a device max active zone limit or max open zone
limit, zone write plugs are allocated using a mempool sized to the
maximum of these 2 device limits. For a device that does not have

In preparation for adding zone write plugging, modify
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() to get the capacity of zones of a zoned
block device. This capacity value as a number of 512B sectors is stored
in the gendisk zone_capacity field.
Given that host-managed SMR disks (including zoned UFS drives) and all
known NVMe ZNS devices have the same zone capacity for all zones
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() returns an error if different capacities are
detected for different zones.
This also adds check to verify that the values reported by the device
for zone capacities are correct, that is, that the zone capacity is
never 0, does not exceed the zone size and is equal to the zone size for
conventional zones.

Currently a device is only really released once the umount returns to
userspace due to how file closing works. That ultimately could cause
an old umount assumption to be violated that concurrent umount and mount
don't fail. So an exclusively held device with a temporary holder should
be yielded before the filesystem is gone. Add a helper that allows
callers to do that. This also allows us to remove the two holder ops
that Linus wasn't excited about.

Now that we open block devices as files we need to deal with the
realities that closing is a deferred operation. An operation on the
block device such as e.g., freeze, thaw, or removal that runs
concurrently with umount, tries to acquire a stable reference on the
holder. The holder might already be gone though. Make that reliable by
grabbing a passive reference to the holder during bdev_open() and
releasing it during bdev_release().

Add two new helpers to allow opening block devices as files.
This is not the final infrastructure. This still opens the block device
before opening a struct a file. Until we have removed all references to
struct bdev_handle we can't switch the order:
* Introduce blk_to_file_flags() to translate from block specific to
flags usable to pen a new file.
* Introduce bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}().
* Introduce temporary sb_bdev_handle() helper to retrieve a struct
bdev_handle from a block device file and update places that directly
reference struct bdev_handle to rely on it.
* Don't count block device openes against the number of open files. A
bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}() file is never installed into any
file descriptor table.
One idea that came to mind was to use kernel_tmpfile_open() which
would require us to pass a path and it would then call do_dentry_open()
going through the regular fops->open::blkdev_open() path. But then we're
back to the problem of routing block specific flags such as
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES through the open path and would have to waste
FMODE_* flags every time we add a new one. With this we can avoid using
a flag bit and we have more leeway in how we open block devices from
bdev_open_by_{dev,path}().

Mark the task as having a cached timestamp when set assign it, so we
can efficiently check if it needs updating post being scheduled back in.
This covers both the actual schedule out case, which would've flushed
the plug, and the preemption case which doesn't touch the plugged
requests (for many reasons, one of them being then we'd need to have
preemption disabled around plug state manipulation).

Querying the current time is the most costly thing we do in the block
layer per IO, and depending on kernel config settings, we may do it
many times per IO.
None of the callers actually need nsec granularity. Take advantage of
that by caching the current time in the plug, with the assumption here
being that any time checking will be temporally close enough that the
slight loss of precision doesn't matter.
If the block plug gets flushed, eg on preempt or schedule out, then
we invalidate the cached clock.
On a basic peak IOPS test case with iostats enabled, this changes
the performance from:
IOPS=108.41M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31
IOPS=108.43M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=108.29M, BW=52.88GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32
IOPS=108.35M, BW=52.91GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=108.42M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31
IOPS=108.40M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=108.31M, BW=52.89GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
to
IOPS=118.79M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32
IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31
IOPS=118.80M, BW=58.01GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=118.78M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=118.69M, BW=57.95GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=118.63M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32
which is more than a 9% improvement in performance. Looking at perf diff,
we can see a huge reduction in time overhead:
10.55% -9.88% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] read_tsc
1.31% -1.22% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ktime_get
Note that since this relies on blk_plug for the caching, it's only
applicable to the issue side. But this is where most of the time calls
happen anyway. On the completion side, cached time stamping is done with
struct io_comp patch, as long as the driver supports it.
It's also worth noting that the above testing doesn't enable any of the
higher cost CPU items on the block layer side, like wbt, cgroups,
iocost, etc, which all would add additional time querying and hence
overhead. IOW, results would likely look even better in comparison with
those enabled, as distros would do.

Pull vfs super updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super work for this cycle including the long-awaited
series by Jan to make it possible to prevent writing to mounted block
devices:
- Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more
and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a
mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do
nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a
kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable
opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are
allowed.
Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the
particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual
device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by
issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower
in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are
involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block
device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform
data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and
thus prevent kernel crashes.
Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
mounted block devices can set this option for hardening. We expect
that this will be interesting to quite a few workloads.
Btrfs is currently opted out of this because they still haven't
merged patches we require for this to work from three kernel
releases ago.
- Reimplement block device freezing and thawing as holder operations
on the block device.
This allows us to extend block device freezing to all devices
associated with a superblock and not just the main device. It also
allows us to remove get_active_super() and thus another function
that scans the global list of superblocks.
Freezing via additional block devices only works if the filesystem
chooses to use @fs_holder_ops for these additional devices as well.
That currently only includes ext4 and xfs.
Earlier releases switched get_tree_bdev() and mount_bdev() to use
@fs_holder_ops. The remaining nilfs2 open-coded version of
mount_bdev() has been converted to rely on @fs_holder_ops as well.
So block device freezing for the main block device will continue to
work as before.
There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
never worked because sb->s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
that can happen whenever they're ready"

disk_clear_zoned is unused now that the last warts of the host-aware
model support in sd are gone.

For the QUEUE_FLAG_HW_WC to actually work, it needs to have a separate
number from QUEUE_FLAG_FUA, doh.

Only use disk_set_zoned to actually enable zoned device support.
For clearing it, call disk_clear_zoned, which is renamed from
disk_clear_zone_settings and now directly clears the zoned flag as
well.

When zones were first added the SCSI and ATA specs, two different
models were supported (in addition to the drive managed one that
is invisible to the host):
- host managed where non-conventional zones there is strict requirement
to write at the write pointer, or else an error is returned
- host aware where a write point is maintained if writes always happen
at it, otherwise it is left in an under-defined state and the
sequential write preferred zones behave like conventional zones
(probably very badly performing ones, though)
Not surprisingly this lukewarm model didn't prove to be very useful and
was finally removed from the ZBC and SBC specs (NVMe never implemented
it). Due to to the easily disappearing write pointer host software
could never rely on the write pointer to actually be useful for say
recovery.
Fortunately only a few HDD prototypes shipped using this model which
never made it to mass production. Drop the support before it is too
late. Note that any such host aware prototype HDD can still be used
with Linux as we'll now treat it as a conventional HDD.

It's clearly been a while since someone looked at this, so I gave it a
quick shot. There are few issues in here:
- Random bundling of members that are mostly read-only and often written
- Random holes that need not be there
This moves the most frequently used bits into cacheline 1 and 2, with
the 2nd one being more write intensive than the first one, which is
basically read-only.
Outside of making this work a bit more efficiently, it also reduces the
size of struct request_queue for my test setup from 864 bytes (spanning
14 cachelines!) to 832 bytes and 13 cachelines.

Allow using a few symbols with IS_ENABLED instead of #idef by moving
the declarations out of #idef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED, and move
bdev_nr_zones into the remaining #idef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED, #else
block below.
