[ Upstream commit 2729a60bbfb9215997f25372ebe9b7964f038296 ]
The block fops don't try to handle metadata for synchronous requests,
probably because the completion handler looks at dio->iocb which is not
valid for synchronous requests.
But silently ignoring metadata (or warning in case of
__blkdev_direct_IO_simple) is a really bad idea as that can cause
silent data corruption if a user ever shows up.
Instead simply handle metadata for synchronous requests as the completion
handler can simply check for bio_integrity() as the block layer default
integrity will already be freed at this point, and thus bio_integrity()
will only return true for user mapped integrity.

commit 198f36f902ec7e99b645382505f74b87a4523ed9 upstream.
If preparing a write bio fails then blk_zone_wplug_bio_work() calls
bio_endio() with zwplug->lock held. If a device mapper driver is stacked
on top of the zoned block device then this results in nested locking of
zwplug->lock. The resulting lockdep complaint is a false positive
because this is nested locking and not recursive locking. Suppress this
false positive by calling blk_zone_wplug_bio_io_error() without holding
zwplug->lock. This is safe because no code in
blk_zone_wplug_bio_io_error() depends on zwplug->lock being held. This
patch suppresses the following lockdep complaint:

[ Upstream commit 370ac285f23aecae40600851fb4a1a9e75e50973 ]
A recent lockdep[1] splat observed while running blktest block/005
reveals a potential deadlock caused by the cpu_hotplug_lock dependency
on ->freeze_lock. This dependency was introduced by commit 033b667a82
("block: blk-rq-qos: guard rq-qos helpers by static key").
That change added a static key to avoid fetching q->rq_qos when
neither blk-wbt nor blk-iolatency is configured. The static key
dynamically patches kernel text to a NOP when disabled, eliminating
overhead of fetching q->rq_qos in the I/O hot path. However, enabling
a static key at runtime requires acquiring both cpu_hotplug_lock and
jump_label_mutex. When this happens after the queue has already been
frozen (i.e., while holding ->freeze_lock), it creates a locking
dependency from cpu_hotplug_lock to ->freeze_lock, which leads to a
potential deadlock reported by lockdep [1].
To resolve this, replace the static key mechanism with q->queue_flags:
QUEUE_FLAG_QOS_ENABLED. This flag is evaluated in the fast path before
accessing q->rq_qos. If the flag is set, we proceed to fetch q->rq_qos;
otherwise, the access is skipped.
Since q->queue_flags is commonly accessed in IO hotpath and resides in
the first cacheline of struct request_queue, checking it imposes minimal
overhead while eliminating the deadlock risk.
This change avoids the lockdep splat without introducing performance
regressions.

Commit 5989bfe6ac ("block: restore two stage elevator switch while
running nr_hw_queue update") reintroduced a lockdep warning by calling
blk_mq_freeze_queue_nomemsave() before switching the I/O scheduler.
The function blk_mq_elv_switch_none() calls elevator_change_done().
Running this while the queue is frozen causes a lockdep warning.
Fix this by reordering the operations: first, switch the I/O scheduler
to 'none', and then freeze the queue. This ensures that elevator_change_done()
is not called on an already frozen queue. And this way is safe because
elevator_set_none() does freeze queue before switching to none.
Also we still have to rely on blk_mq_elv_switch_back() for switching
back, and it has to cover unfrozen queue case.

[ Upstream commit f5a6604f7a ]
Recent lockdep reports [1] have revealed a potential deadlock caused by a
lock dependency between the percpu allocator lock and the elevator lock.
This issue can be avoided by ensuring that the allocation and release of
scheduler tags (sched_tags) are performed outside the elevator lock.
Furthermore, the queue does not need to be remain frozen during these
operations.
To address this, move all sched_tags allocations and deallocations outside
of both the ->elevator_lock and the ->freeze_lock. Since the lifetime of
the elevator queue and its associated sched_tags is closely tied, the
allocated sched_tags are now stored in the elevator queue structure. Then,
during the actual elevator switch (which runs under ->freeze_lock and
->elevator_lock), the pre-allocated sched_tags are assigned to the
appropriate q->hctx. Once the elevator switch is complete and the locks
are released, the old elevator queue and its associated sched_tags are
freed.
This commit specifically addresses the allocation/deallocation of sched_
tags during elevator switching. Note that sched_tags may also be allocated
in other contexts, such as during nr_hw_queues updates. Supporting that
use case will require batch allocation/deallocation, which will be handled
in a follow-up patch.
This restructuring ensures that sched_tags memory management occurs
entirely outside of the ->elevator_lock and ->freeze_lock context,
eliminating the lock dependency problem seen during scheduler updates.

The commit 245618f8e4 ("block: protect wbt_lat_usec using

q->elevator_lock; however, it also placed wbt_enable_default()
before blk_queue_flag_set(QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED, q);, resulting
in wbt failing to be enabled.
Moreover, the protection of wbt_enable_default() by q->elevator_lock
was removed in commit 78c271344b ("block: move wbt_enable_default()
out of queue freezing from sched ->exit()"), so we can directly fix
this issue by placing wbt_enable_default() after
blk_queue_flag_set(QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED, q);.
Additionally, this issue also causes the inability to read the
wbt_lat_usec file, and the scenario is as follows:
root@q:/sys/block/sda/queue# cat wbt_lat_usec
cat: wbt_lat_usec: Invalid argument

Currently elevators will record internal 'async_depth' to throttle
asynchronous requests, and they both calculate shallow_dpeth based on
sb->shift, with the respect that sb->shift is the available tags in one
word.
However, sb->shift is not the availbale tags in the last word, see
__map_depth:
if (index == sb->map_nr - 1)
return sb->depth - (index << sb->shift);
For consequence, if the last word is used, more tags can be get than
expected, for example, assume nr_requests=256 and there are four words,
in the worst case if user set nr_requests=32, then the first word is
the last word, and still use bits per word, which is 64, to calculate
async_depth is wrong.
One the ohter hand, due to cgroup qos, bfq can allow only one request
to be allocated, and set shallow_dpeth=1 will still allow the number
of words request to be allocated.
Fix this problems by using shallow_depth to the whole sbitmap instead
of per word, also change kyber, mq-deadline and bfq to follow this,
a new helper __map_depth_with_shallow() is introduced to calculate

The issue arises while we run nr_hw_queue update, Specifically, we first
reallocate hardware contexts (hctx) via __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs(), and
then later invoke elevator_switch() (assuming q->elevator is not NULL).
The elevator switch code would first exit old elevator (elevator_exit)
and then switches to the new elevator. The elevator_exit loops through
each hctx and invokes the elevator’s per-hctx exit method ->exit_hctx(),
which releases resources allocated during ->init_hctx().
This memleak manifests when we reduce the num of h/w queues - for example,
when the initial update sets the number of queues to X, and a later update
reduces it to Y, where Y < X. In this case, we'd loose the access to old
hctxs while we get to elevator exit code because __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs
would have already released the old hctxs. As we don't now have any
reference left to the old hctxs, we don't have any way to free the
scheduler resources (which are allocate in ->init_hctx()) and kmemleak
complains about it.
This issue was caused due to the commit 596dce110b ("block: simplify
elevator reattachment for updating nr_hw_queues"). That change unified
the two-stage elevator teardown and reattachment into a single call that
occurs after __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() has already freed the hctxs.
This patch restores the previous two-stage elevator switch logic during
nr_hw_queues updates. First, the elevator is switched to 'none', which
ensures all scheduler resources are properly freed. Then, the hardware
contexts (hctxs) are reallocated, and the software-to-hardware queue
mappings are updated. Finally, the original elevator is reattached. This
sequence prevents loss of references to old hctxs and avoids the scheduler
resource leaks reported by kmemleak.

[ Upstream commit 1de67e8e28 ]
Currently we just ensure that a non-zero value in chunk_sectors aligns
with any atomic write boundary, as the blk boundary functionality uses
both these values.
However it is also improper to have atomic write unit max > chunk_sectors
(for non-zero chunk_sectors), as this would lead to splitting of atomic
write bios (which is disallowed).
Sanitize atomic write unit max against chunk_sectors to avoid any
potential problems.

block: fix module reference leak in mq-deadline I/O scheduler
During probe, when the block layer registers a request queue, it
defaults to the mq-deadline I/O scheduler if the device is single-queue
and the mq-deadline module is available. To determine availability, the
elevator_set_default() invokes elevator_find_get(), which increments the
module's reference count. However, this reference is never released,
resulting in a module reference leak that prevents the mq-deadline module
from being unloaded.
This patch fixes the issue by ensuring the acquired module reference is
properly released.

The kobject for the queue, `disk->queue_kobj`, is initialized with a
reference count of 1 via `kobject_init()` in `blk_register_queue()`.
While `kobject_del()` is called during the unregister path to remove
the kobject from sysfs, the initial reference is never released.
Add a call to `kobject_put()` in `blk_unregister_queue()` to properly
decrement the reference count and fix the leak.

Previously, the block layer stored the requests in the plug list in
LIFO order. For this reason, blk_attempt_plug_merge() would check
just the head entry for a back merge attempt, and abort after that
unless requests for multiple queues existed in the plug list. If more
than one request is present in the plug list, this makes the one-shot
back merging less useful than before, as it'll always fail to find a
quick merge candidate.
Use the tail entry for the one-shot merge attempt, which is the last
added request in the list. If that fails, abort immediately unless
there are multiple queues available. If multiple queues are available,
then scan the list. Ideally the latter scan would be a backwards scan
of the list, but as it currently stands, the plug list is singly linked
and hence this isn't easily feasible.

Bios queued up in the zone write plug have already gone through all all
preparation in the submit_bio path, including the freeze protection.
Submitting them through submit_bio_noacct_nocheck duplicates the work
and can can cause deadlocks when freezing a queue with pending bio
write plugs.
Go straight to ->submit_bio or blk_mq_submit_bio to bypass the
superfluous extra freeze protection and checks.

blk_rq_integrity_map_user() creates the ubuf iter with ITER_DEST for
write-direction operations and ITER_SOURCE for read-direction ones.
This is backwards; writes use the user buffer as a source for metadata
and reads use it as a destination. Switch to the rq_data_dir() helper,
which maps writes to ITER_SOURCE (WRITE) and reads to ITER_DEST(READ).

not scale very well especially with memcg using rstat for internal

It is possible to eliminate contention between subsystems when
updating/flushing stats by using subsystem-specific locks. Let the existing
rstat locks be dedicated to the cgroup base stats and rename them to
reflect that. Add similar locks to the cgroup_subsys struct for use with
individual subsystems.
Lock initialization is done in the new function ss_rstat_init(ss) which
replaces cgroup_rstat_boot(void). If NULL is passed to this function, the
global base stat locks will be initialized. Otherwise, the subsystem locks
will be initialized.
Change the existing lock helper functions to accept a reference to a css.
Then within these functions, conditionally select the appropriate locks
based on the subsystem affiliation of the given css. Add helper functions
for this selection routine to avoid repeated code.

When nr_hw_queues is updated, the elevator needs to be switched to
ensure that we exit elevator and reattach it to ensure that hctx->
sched_tags is correctly allocated for the new hardware queues.
However, elv_update_nr_hw_queues() currently only switches the
elevator if the queue is not registered. This is incorrect, as it
prevents reattaching the elevator after updating nr_hw_queues, which
in turn inhibits allocation of sched_tags.
Fix this by allowing the elevator switch if the queue is registered,
ensuring proper reattachment and resource allocation.

bvec_try_merge_page currently returns if the added page fragment is
within the same page as the last page in the last current bio_vec.
This information is used by __bio_iov_iter_get_pages so that we always
have a single folio pin per page even when the page is split over
multiple __bio_iov_iter_get_pages calls.
Threading this through the entire lowlevel add page to bio logic is
annoying and inefficient and leads to less code sharing than otherwise
possible. Instead add code to __bio_iov_iter_get_pages that checks if
the bio_vecs did not change and thus a merge into the last segment must
have happened, and if there is an offset into the page for the currently
added fragment, because if yes we must have already had a previous
fragment of the same page in the last bio_vec. While this is still a bit
ugly, it keeps the logic in the one place that needs it and allows for
more code sharing.

[BUG]
There has an issue of io delayed dispatch caused by io splitting. Consider
the following scenario:
1) If we set a BPS limit of 1MB/s and restrict the maximum IO size per
dispatch to 4KB, submitting -two- 1MB IO requests results in completion
times of 1s and 2s, which is expected.
2) However, if we additionally set an IOPS limit of 1,000,000/s with the
same BPS limit of 1MB/s, submitting -two- 1MB IO requests again results in
both completing in 2s, even though the IOPS constraint is being met.
[CAUSE]
This issue arises because BPS and IOPS currently share the same queue in
the blkthrotl mechanism:
1) This issue does not occur when only BPS is limited because the split IOs
return false in blk_should_throtl() and do not go through to throtl again.
2) For split IOs, even if they have been tagged with BIO_BPS_THROTTLED,
they still get queued alternately in the same list due to continuous
splitting and reordering. As a result, the two IO requests are both
completed at the 2-second mark, causing an unintended delay.
3) It is not difficult to imagine that in this scenario, if N 1MB IOs are
issued at once, all IOs will eventually complete together in N seconds.
[FIX]
With the queue separation introduced in the previous patches, we now have
separate BPS and IOPS queues. For IOs that have already passed the BPS
limitation, they do not need to re-enter the BPS queue and can directly
placed to the IOPS queue.
Since we have split the queues, when the IOPS queue is previously empty
and a new bio is added to the first qnode->bios_iops list in the
service_queue, we also need to update the disptime. This patch introduces
"THROTL_TG_IOPS_WAS_EMPTY" flag to mark it.
