Add Kconfig entries to manage what devices get assigned an MQ
scheduler, and add a blk-mq flag for drivers to opt out of scheduling.
The latter is useful for admin type queues that still allocate a blk-mq
queue and tag set, but aren't use for normal IO.

This adds a set of hooks that intercepts the blk-mq path of
allocating/inserting/issuing/completing requests, allowing
us to develop a scheduler within that framework.

We reuse the existing elevator scheduler API on the registration
side, but augment that with the scheduler flagging support for
the blk-mq interfce, and with a separate set of ops hooks for MQ
devices.

We split driver and scheduler tags, so we can run the scheduling
independently of device queue depth.

If a GUID Partition Table claims to have more than 2**25 entries, the
calculation of the partition table size in alloc_read_gpt_entries() will
overflow a 32-bit integer and not enough space will be allocated for the

Nothing seems to get written out of bounds, but later efi_partition() will
read up to 32768 bytes from a 128 byte buffer, possibly OOPSing or exposing
information to /proc/partitions and uevents.

The problem exists on both 64-bit and 32-bit platforms.

Partitions that are not aligned to the blocksize of a device may cause
invalid I/O requests because the blocklayer cares only about alignment
within the partition when building requests on partitions.

device
|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|
partition offset 512byte
|-512-|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|

When reading/writing one 4k block of the partition this maps to
reading/writing with an offset of 512 byte of the device leading to
unaligned requests for the device which in turn may cause unexpected
behavior of the device driver.

For DASD devices we have to translate the block number into a cylinder,
head, record format. The unaligned requests lead to wrong calculation
and therefore to misdirected I/O. In a "good" case this leads to I/O
errors because the underlying hardware detects the wrong addressing.
In a worst case scenario this might destroy data on the device.

To prevent partitions that are not aligned to the physical blocksize
of a device check for the alignment in the blkpg_ioctl.

The WRITE_SAME commands are not present in the blk_default_cmd_filter
write_ok list, and thus are failed with -EPERM when the SG_IO ioctl()
is executed without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users).
[ sg_io() -> blk_fill_sghdr_rq() > blk_verify_command() -> -EPERM ]

The problem can be reproduced with the sg_write_same command

  # sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda
  #

  # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
    'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda'
    Write same: pass through os error: Operation not permitted
  #

For comparison, the WRITE_VERIFY command does not observe this problem,
since it is in that list:

  # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
    'sg_write_verify --num 1 --ilen 512 --lba 0 /dev/sda'
  #

So, this patch adds the WRITE_SAME commands to the list, in order
for the SG_IO ioctl to finish successfully:

  # capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
    'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda'
  #

That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2]),
which employs the SG_IO ioctl() and runs as an unprivileged user (libvirt-qemu).

In that scenario, when a filesystem (e.g., ext4) performs its zero-out calls,
which are translated to write-same calls in the guest kernel, and then into
SG_IO ioctls to the host kernel, SCSI I/O errors may be observed in the guest:

  [...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE

In blk_mq_map_swqueue, there is a memory optimization that frees the
tags of a queue that has gone unmapped.  Later, if that hctx is remapped
after another topology change, the tags need to be reallocated.

If this allocation fails, a simple WARN_ON triggers, but the block layer
ends up with an active hctx without any corresponding set of tags.
Then, any income IO to that hctx can trigger an Oops.

I can reproduce it consistently by running IO, flipping CPUs on and off
and eventually injecting a memory allocation failure in that path.

In the fix below, if the system experiences a failed allocation of any
hctx's tags, we remap all the ctxs of that queue to the hctx_0, which
should always keep it's tags.  There is a minor performance hit, since
our mapping just got worse after the error path, but this is
the simplest solution to handle this error path.  The performance hit
will disappear after another successful remap.

I considered dropping the memory optimization all together, but it
seemed a bad trade-off to handle this very specific error case.

This should apply cleanly on top of Jens' for-next branch.

The Oops is the one below:

While stressing memory and IO at the same time we changed SMT settings,
we were able to consistently trigger deadlocks in the mm system, which
froze the entire machine.

I think that under memory stress conditions, the large allocations
performed by blk_mq_init_rq_map may trigger a reclaim, which stalls
waiting on the block layer remmaping completion, thus deadlocking the
system.  The trace below was collected after the machine stalled,
waiting for the hotplug event completion.

The simplest fix for this is to make allocations in this path
non-reclaimable, with GFP_NOIO.  With this patch, We couldn't hit the
issue anymore.

This should apply on top of Jens's for-next branch cleanly.

Changes since v1:
  - Use GFP_NOIO instead of GFP_NOWAIT.

We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw
128K requests at the device level.  Turns out it is read-ahead capping
the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting.  This
doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they
should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the
underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command.

This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages.  This is the soft max IO
size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here.
Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size,
and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the
device side.  The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the
application asks for a huge read.  With this patch, the kernel behaves
like the application expects.

Instead of allocating a single unused biovec for discard requests, send
them down without any payload.  Instead we allow the driver to add a
"special" payload using a biovec embedded into struct request (unioned
over other fields never used while in the driver), and overloading
the number of segments for this case.

This has a couple of advantages:

 - we don't have to allocate the bio_vec
 - the amount of special casing for discard requests in the block
   layer is significantly reduced
 - using this same scheme for other request types is trivial,
   which will be important for implementing the new WRITE_ZEROES
   op on devices where it actually requires a payload (e.g. SCSI)
 - we can get rid of playing games with the request length, as
   we'll never touch it and completions will work just fine
 - it will allow us to support ranged discard operations in the
   future by merging non-contiguous discard bios into a single
   request
 - last but not least it removes a lot of code

This patch is the common base for my WIP series for ranges discards and to
remove discard_zeroes_data in favor of always using REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES,
so it would be good to get it in quickly.

Both of these are metadata only commands that are not issued by the

In theory we could map other things, but there's a reason that function
is called "user_iov".  Using anything else (like splice can do) just
confuses it.

Since commit e73c23ff ("block: add async variant of
blkdev_issue_zeroout") messages like the following show up:

  EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2368848 at
                  logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 95
  EXT4-fs (dm-1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

Due to the following fallthrough introduced with
commit 2d253440 ("block: Define zoned block device operations"),
generic_make_request_checks() would accept a REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME bio only
if the block device supports "write same" *and* is a zoned one:

  switch (bio_op(bio)) {
  [...]
  case REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME:
        if (!bdev_write_same(bio->bi_bdev))
                goto not_supported;
  case REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT:
  case REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET:
                if (!bdev_is_zoned(bio->bi_bdev))
                        goto not_supported;
                break;
  [...]
  }

Thus, although the bio setup as done by __blkdev_issue_write_same() from
commit e73c23ff ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout")
would succeed, its actual submission would not, resulting in the
EOPNOTSUPP == 95.

Fix this by removing the fallthrough which, due to the lack of an explicit
comment, seems to be unintended anyway.

This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of
LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use
either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes.
The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command,
but in the future, this should also help with improving the way
zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in
sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one
write zeroes operation by the device.

Similar to __blkdev_issue_discard this variant allows submitting
the final bio asynchronously and chaining multiple ranges
into a single completion.

Both blkdev_report_zones and blkdev_reset_zones can operate on a partition of
a zoned block device. However, the first and last zones reported for a
partition make sense only if the partition start sector and size are aligned
on the device zone size. The same applies for zone reset. Resetting the first
or the last zone of a partition straddling zones may impact neighboring
partitions. Finally, if a partition start sector is not at the beginning of a
sequential zone, it will be impossible to write to the first sectors of the
partition on a host-managed device.
Avoid all these problems and incoherencies by ignoring partitions that are not
zone aligned.

Note: Even with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED disabled, bdev_is_zoned() will report the
correct disk zoning type (host-aware, host-managed or none) but
bdev_zone_size() will always return 0 for zoned block devices (i.e. the zone
size is unknown). So test this as a way to ensure that a zoned block device is
being handled as such. As a result, for a host-aware devices, unaligned zone
partitions will be accepted with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED disabled. That is, the
disk will be treated as a regular block device (as it should). If zoned block
device support is enabled, only aligned partitions will be accepted.

This is a helper that pins down a range from an iov_iter and adds it to
a bio without requiring a separate memory allocation for the page array.
It will be used for upcoming direct I/O implementations for block devices
and iomap based file systems.

After commit 287922eb ("block: defer timeouts to a workqueue"),
deleting the timeout work after freezing the queue shouldn't be
necessary, since the synchronization is already enforced by the
acquisition of a q_usage_counter reference in blk_mq_timeout_work.
