Large write BIOs that span a zone boundary are split in
blk_mq_submit_bio() before being passed to blk_zone_plug_bio() for zone
write plugging. Such split BIO will be chained with one fragment
targeting one zone and the remainder of the BIO targeting the next
zone. The two BIOs can be executed in parallel, without a predetermine
order relative to eachother and their completion may be reversed: the
remainder first completing and the first fragment then completing. In
such case, bio_endio() will not immediately execute
blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() for the parent BIO (the remainder of the
split BIO) as the BIOs are chained. blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() for
the parent BIO will be executed only once the first fragment completes.
In the case of a device with small zones and very large BIOs, uch
completion pattern can lead to disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() to return
true for the zone of the parent BIO when the parent BIO request
completes and blk_zone_write_plug_complete_request() is executed. This
triggers the removal of the zone write plug from the hash table using
disk_remove_zone_wplug(). With the zone write plug of the parent BIO
missing, the call to disk_get_zone_wplug() in
blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() returns NULL and triggers a warning.
This patterns can be recreated fairly easily using a scsi_debug device
with small zone and btrfs. E.g.
modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dev_size_mb=1024 sector_size=4096 \
zbc=host-managed zone_cap_mb=3 zone_nr_conv=0 zone_size_mb=4

Fix this by modifying disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() to check that the
reference count to a zone write plug is not larger than 2, that is, that
the only references left on the zone are the caller held reference
(blk_zone_write_plug_complete_request()) and the initial extra reference

dropped when the zone write plug is removed from the hash table).
To be consistent with this change, make sure to drop the request or BIO
held reference to the zone write plug before calling
disk_zone_wplug_unplug_bio(). All references are also dropped using
disk_put_zone_wplug() instead of atomic_dec() to ensure that the zone

Fix disk_remove_zone_wplug() to ensure that a zone write plug already
removed from a disk hash table of zone write plugs is not removed
again. Do this by checking the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED flag of the plug
and calling hlist_del_init_rcu() only if the flag is not set.
Furthermore, since BIO completions can happen at any time, that is,
decrementing of the zone write plug reference count can happen at any
time, make sure to use disk_put_zone_wplug() instead of atomic_dec() to
ensure that the zone write plug is freed when its last reference is
dropped. In order to do this, disk_remove_zone_wplug() is moved after
the definition of disk_put_zone_wplug(). disk_should_remove_zone_wplug()
is moved as well to keep it together with disk_remove_zone_wplug().

When zone is reset or finished, disk_zone_wplug_set_wp_offset() is
called to update the zone write plug write pointer offset and to clear
the zone error state (BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_ERROR flag) if it is set.
However, this processing is missing dropping the reference to the zone
write plug that was taken in disk_zone_wplug_set_error() when the error
flag was first set. Furthermore, the error state handling must release
the zone write plug lock to first execute a report zones command. When
the report zone races with a reset or finish operation that clears the
error, we can end up decrementing the zone write plug reference count
twice: once in disk_zone_wplug_set_wp_offset() for the reset/finish
operation and one more time in disk_zone_wplugs_work() once
disk_zone_wplug_handle_error() completes.
Fix this by introducing disk_zone_wplug_clear_error() as the symmetric
function of disk_zone_wplug_set_error(). disk_zone_wplug_clear_error()
decrements the zone write plug reference count obtained in
disk_zone_wplug_set_error() only if the error handling has not started
yet, that is, only if disk_zone_wplugs_work() has not yet taken the zone
write plug off the error list. This ensure that either
disk_zone_wplug_clear_error() or disk_zone_wplugs_work() drop the zone
write plug reference count.

When revalidating the zones of a zoned block device,
blk_revalidate_zone_cb() must allocate a zone write plug for any
sequential write required zone that is not empty nor full. However, the
current code tests the latter case by comparing the zone write pointer
offset to the zone size instead of the zone capacity. Furthermore,
disk_get_and_lock_zone_wplug() is called with a sector argument equal to
the zone start instead of the current zone write pointer position.
This commit fixes both issues by calling disk_get_and_lock_zone_wplug()
for a zone that is not empty and with a write pointer offset lower than
the zone capacity and use the zone capacity sector as the sector

not account conventional zones and set the limit to the number of

- After the removal of the legacy ntfs driver we received reports
about regressions for some people that do mount "ntfs" explicitly
and expect the driver to be available. Since ntfs3 is a drop-in for
legacy ntfs we alias legacy ntfs to ntfs3 just like ext3 is aliased
to ext4.
We also enforce legacy ntfs is always mounted read-only and give it
custom file operations to ensure that ioctl()'s can't be abused to
perform write operations.
- Fix an unbalanced module_get() in bdev_open().
- Two smaller fixes for the netfs work done earlier in this cycle.
- Fix the errno returned from the new FS_IOC_GETUUID and
FS_IOC_GETFSSYSFSPATH ioctls. Both commands just pull information
out of the superblock so there's no need to call into the actual
ioctl handlers.
So instead of returning ENOIOCTLCMD to indicate to fallback we just

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.

In iocg_pay_debt(), warn is triggered if 'active_list' is empty, which
is intended to confirm iocg is active when it has debt. However, warn
can be triggered during a blkcg or disk removal, if iocg_waitq_timer_fn()
is run at that time:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2344971 at block/blk-iocost.c:1402 iocg_pay_debt+0x14c/0x190

__run_hrtimer+0x144/0x45c
__hrtimer_run_queues+0x16c/0x244
hrtimer_interrupt+0x2cc/0x7b0
The warn in this situation is meaningless. Since this iocg is being
removed, the state of the 'active_list' is irrelevant, and 'waitq_timer'
is canceled after removing 'active_list' in ioc_pd_free(), which ensures
iocg is freed after iocg_waitq_timer_fn() returns.
Therefore, add the check if iocg was already offlined to avoid warn
when removing a blkcg or disk.

Commit 4601b4b130 ("block: reopen the device in blkdev_reread_part")
lost the propagation of I/O errors from the low-level read of the
partition table to the user space caller of the BLKRRPART.
Apparently some user space relies on, so restore the propagation. This
isn't exactly pretty as other block device open calls explicitly do not
are about these errors, so add a new BLK_OPEN_STRICT_SCAN to opt into
the error propagation.

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
using current->plug where needed.

Zone append operations are only allowed to target sequential write
required zones. blk_check_zone_append() uses bio_zone_is_seq() to check
this. However, this check is not necessary because:
1) For NVMe ZNS namespace devices, only sequential write required zones
exist, making the zone type check useless.
2) For null_blk, the driver will fail the request anyway, thus notifying
the user that a conventional zone was targeted.
3) For all other zoned devices, zone append is now emulated using zone
write plugging, which checks that a zone append operation does not
target a conventional zone.
In preparation for the removal of zone write locking and its
conventional zone bitmap (used by bio_zone_is_seq()), remove the
bio_zone_is_seq() call from blk_check_zone_append().

Given that zone write plugging manages all writes to zones of a zoned
block device and tracks the write pointer position of all zones that are
not full nor empty, emulating zone append operations using regular
writes can be implemented generically, without relying on the underlying
device driver to implement such emulation. This is needed for devices
that do not natively support the zone append command (e.g. SMR
hard-disks).
A device may request zone append emulation by setting its
max_zone_append_sectors queue limit to 0. For such device, the function
blk_zone_wplug_prepare_bio() changes zone append BIOs into
non-mergeable regular write BIOs. Modified zone append BIOs are flagged
with the new BIO flag BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND. This flag is checked
on completion of the BIO in blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() to restore
the original REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND operation code of the BIO.
The block layer internal inline helper function bio_is_zone_append() is
added to test if a BIO is either a native zone append operation
(REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND operation code) or if it is flagged with
BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND. Given that both native and emulated zone
append BIO completion handling should be similar, The functions
blk_update_request() and blk_zone_complete_request_bio() are modified to
use bio_is_zone_append() to execute blk_zone_update_request_bio() for
both native and emulated zone append operations.

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
active and open zone limits, 128 is used as the default mempool size.
If a change to the device active and open zone limits is detected, the
disk mempool is resized when blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is executed.

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.

On completion of a zone append request, the request sector indicates the
location of the written data. This value must be returned to the user
through the BIO iter sector. This is done in 2 places: in
blk_complete_request() and in blk_update_request(). Introduce the inline
helper function blk_zone_update_request_bio() to avoid duplicating
this BIO update for zone append requests, and to compile out this
helper call when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is not enabled.

On completion of a flush sequence, blk_flush_restore_request() restores
the bio of a request to the original submitted BIO. However, the last
use of the request in the flush sequence may have been for a POSTFLUSH
which does not have a sector. So make sure to restore the request sector
using the iter sector of the original BIO. This BIO has not changed yet
since the completions of the flush sequence intermediate steps use
requeueing of the request until all steps are completed.
Restoring the request sector ensures that blk_mq_end_request() will see
a valid sector as originally set when the flush BIO was submitted.

* tag 'block-6.9-20240412' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux:

block: fix q->blkg_list corruption during disk rebind
blk-iocost: avoid out of bounds shift
raid1: fix use-after-free for original bio in raid1_write_request()
While monitoring the throttle time of IO from iocost, it's found that
such time is always zero after the io_schedule() from ioc_rqos_throttle,
for example, with the following debug patch:
+ printk("%s-%d: %s enter %llu\n", current->comm, current->pid, __func__, blk_time_get_ns());
while (true) {
set_current_state(TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE);
if (wait.committed)
break;
io_schedule();
}
+ printk("%s-%d: %s exit %llu\n", current->comm, current->pid, __func__, blk_time_get_ns());
It can be observerd that blk_time_get_ns() always return the same time:
[ 1068.096579] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.272587] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
[ 1068.274389] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.472690] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
[ 1068.474485] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.672656] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
[ 1068.674451] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle enter 1067901962288
[ 1068.872655] fio-1268: ioc_rqos_throttle exit 1067901962288
And I think the root cause is that 'PF_BLOCK_TS' is always cleared
by blk_flush_plug() before scheduel(), hence blk_plug_invalidate_ts()
will never be called:
blk_time_get_ns
plug->cur_ktime = ktime_get_ns();
current->flags |= PF_BLOCK_TS;
io_schedule:
io_schedule_prepare
blk_flush_plug
__blk_flush_plug
/* the flag is cleared, while time is not */
current->flags &= ~PF_BLOCK_TS;
schedule
sched_update_worker
/* the flag is not set, hence plug->cur_ktime is not cleared */
if (tsk->flags & PF_BLOCK_TS)
blk_plug_invalidate_ts()
blk_time_get_ns
/* got the time stashed before schedule */
return plug->cur_ktime;
Fix the problem by clearing cached time in __blk_flush_plug().

Multiple gendisk instances can allocated/added for single request queue
in case of disk rebind. blkg may still stay in q->blkg_list when calling
blkcg_init_disk() for rebind, then q->blkg_list becomes corrupted.
Fix the list corruption issue by:
- add blkg_init_queue() to initialize q->blkg_list & q->blkcg_mutex only
- move calling blkg_init_queue() into blk_alloc_queue()
The list corruption should be started since commit f1c006f1c6 ("blk-cgroup:

which delays removing blkg from q->blkg_list into blkg_free_workfn().

There's a bunch of flags that are purely based on what the file
operations support while also never being conditionally set or unset.
IOW, they're not subject to change for individual files. Imho, such
flags don't need to live in f_mode they might as well live in the fops
structs itself. And the fops struct already has that lonely
mmap_supported_flags member. We might as well turn that into a generic
fop_flags member and move a few flags from FMODE_* space into FOP_*
space. That gets us four FMODE_* bits back and the ability for new
static flags that are about file ops to not have to live in FMODE_*
space but in their own FOP_* space. It's not the most beautiful thing
ever but it gets the job done. Yes, there'll be an additional pointer
chase but hopefully that won't matter for these flags.
I suspect there's a few more we can move into there and that we can also
redirect a bunch of new flag suggestions that follow this pattern into
the fop_flags field instead of f_mode.

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a few small fixes. This comes with some delay because I
wanted to wait on people running their reproducers and the Easter
Holidays meant that those replies came in a little later than usual:
- Fix handling of preventing writes to mounted block devices.
Since last kernel we allow to prevent writing to mounted block
devices provided CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED isn't set and the
block device is opened with restricted writes. When we switched to
opening block devices as files we altered the mechanism by which we
recognize when a block device has been opened with write
restrictions.
The detection logic assumed that only read-write mounted
filesystems would apply write restrictions to their block devices
from other openers. That of course is not true since it also makes
sense to apply write restrictions for filesystems that are
read-only.
Fix the detection logic using an FMODE_* bit. We still have a few
left since we freed up a couple a while ago. I also picked up a
patch to free up four additional FMODE_* bits scheduled for the
next merge window.
- Fix counting the number of writers to a block device. This just
changes the logic to be consistent.
- Fix a bug in aio causing a NULL pointer derefernce after we
implemented batched processing in aio.
- Finally, add the changes we discussed that allows to yield block
devices early even though file closing itself is deferred.
This also allows us to remove two holder operations to get and
release the holder to align lifetime of file and holder of the
block device"

Kernel parameter of `isolcpus=` or 'nohz_full=' are used to isolate CPUs
for specific task, and it isn't expected to let block IO disturb these CPUs.
blk-mq kworker shouldn't be scheduled on isolated CPUs. Also if isolated
CPUs is run for blk-mq kworker, long block IO latency can be caused.
Kernel workqueue only respects CPU isolation for WQ_UNBOUND, for bound
WQ, the responsibility is on user because CPU is specified as WQ API
parameter, such as mod_delayed_work_on(cpu), queue_delayed_work_on(cpu)
and queue_work_on(cpu).
So not run blk-mq kworker on isolated CPUs by removing isolated CPUs
from hctx->cpumask. Meantime use queue map to check if all CPUs in this
hw queue are offline instead of hctx->cpumask, this way can avoid any
cost in fast IO code path, and is safe since hctx->cpumask are only
used in the two cases.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"Small round of minor fixes or cleanups for the 6.9-rc2 kernel, one
fixing an issue introduced in 6.8"
* tag 'block-6.9-20240329' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux:
block: Do not force full zone append completion in req_bio_endio()
block: don't reject too large max_user_sectors in blk_validate_limits
block: Make blk_rq_set_mixed_merge() static
This reverts commit 748dc0b65e.
Partial zone append completions cannot be supported as there is no
guarantees that the fragmented data will be written sequentially in the
same manner as with a full command. Commit 748dc0b65e ("block: fix
partial zone append completion handling in req_bio_endio()") changed
req_bio_endio() to always advance a partially failed BIO by its full
length, but this can lead to incorrect accounting. So revert this
change and let low level device drivers handle this case by always
failing completely zone append operations. With this revert, users will
still see an IO error for a partially completed zone append BIO.

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.

The original changes in v6.8 do allow for a block device to be reopened
with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES provided the same holder is used as per
bdev_may_open(). I think this has a bug.
The first opener @f1 of that block device will set bdev->bd_writers to
-1. The second opener @f2 using the same holder will pass the check in
bdev_may_open() that bdev->bd_writers must not be greater than zero.
The first opener @f1 now closes the block device and in bdev_release()
will end up calling bdev_yield_write_access() which calls
bdev_writes_blocked() and sets bdev->bd_writers to 0 again.
Now @f2 holds a file to that block device which was opened with
exclusive write access but bdev->bd_writers has been reset to 0.
So now @f3 comes along and succeeds in opening the block device with
BLK_OPEN_WRITE betraying @f2's request to have exclusive write access.
This isn't a practical issue yet because afaict there's no codepath
inside the kernel that reopenes the same block device with
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES but it will be if there is.
Fix this by counting the number of BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers. So
we only allow writes again once all BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers are
done.

Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
Last kernel release we introduce CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED. By
default this option is set. When it is set the long-standing behavior
of being able to write to mounted block devices is enabled.
But in order to guard against unintended corruption by writing to the
block device buffer cache CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED can be turned
off. In that case it isn't possible to write to mounted block devices
anymore.
A filesystem may open its block devices with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES
which disallows concurrent BLK_OPEN_WRITE access. When we still had the
bdev handle around we could recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES because
the mode was passed around. Since we managed to get rid of the bdev
handle we changed that logic to recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES based
on whether the file was opened writable and writes to that block device
are blocked. That logic doesn't work because we do allow
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES to be specified without BLK_OPEN_WRITE.
Fix the detection logic and use an FMODE_* bit. We could've also abused
O_EXCL as an indicator that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES has been requested.
For userspace open paths O_EXCL will never be retained but for internal
opens where we open files that are never installed into a file
descriptor table this is fine. But it would be a gamble that this
doesn't cause bugs. Note that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES is an internal
only flag that cannot directly be raised by userspace. It is implicitly
raised during mounting.
Passes xftests and blktests with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED set and
unset.

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().

This reverts commit 8a08c5fd89.
It turns out while this is a perfectly valid and long overdue thing to do
for user initiated discards / zeroing from the ioctl handler, it actually
breaks file system use of the discard helper by interrupting in places
the file system doesn't expect, and by leaving the bio chain in a state
that the file system callers of (at least) __blkdev_issue_discard do
not expect.
Revert the change for now, we'll redo it for the next merge window
after refactoring the code to better split the file system vs ioctl
callers and cleaning up a few other loose ends.

The code "max(1U, 3 * (1U << shift) / 4)" comes from the Kyber I/O

and hence derives its async_depth from the number of hwq tags. Using
this approach for the mq-deadline scheduler is wrong since the
mq-deadline scheduler maintains one internal queue for all hwqs
combined. Hence this revert.

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

Pull write hint fix from Christian Brauner:
UFS devices are widely used in mobile applications, e.g. in smartphones.
UFS vendors need data lifetime information to achieve good performance.
Providing data lifetime information to UFS devices can result in up to
40% lower write amplification. Hence this patch series that restores the
bi_write_hint member in struct bio. After this patch series has been
merged, patches that implement data lifetime support in the SCSI disk
(sd) driver will be sent to the Linux kernel SCSI maintainer.
The following changes are included in this patch series:
- Improvements for the F_GET_RW_HINT and F_SET_RW_HINT fcntls.
- Move enum rw_hint into a new header file.
- Support F_SET_RW_HINT for block devices to make it easy to test data
lifetime support.
- Restore the bio.bi_write_hint member and restore support in the VFS
layer and also in the block layer for data lifetime information.
The shell script that has been used to test the patch series combined
with the SCSI patches is available at the end of this cover letter.
