In order to improve consistency and usability in cgroup stat accounting, we would like to support the root cgroup's io.stat. Since the root cgroup has processes doing io even if the system has no explicitly created cgroups, we need to be careful to avoid overhead in that case. For that reason, the rstat algorithms don't handle the root cgroup, so just turning the file on wouldn't give correct statistics. To get around this, we simulate flushing the iostat struct by filling it out directly from global disk stats. The result is a root cgroup io.stat file consistent with both /proc/diskstats and io.stat. Note that in order to collect the disk stats, we needed to iterate over devices. To facilitate that, we had to change the linkage of a disk_type to external so that it can be used from blk-cgroup.c to iterate over disks.

Commit dc9edc44 ("block: Fix a blk_exit_rl() regression") merged on v4.12 moved the work behind blk_release_queue() into a workqueue after a splat floated around which indicated some work on blk_release_queue() could sleep in blk_exit_rl(). This splat would be possible when a driver called blk_put_queue() or blk_cleanup_queue() (which calls blk_put_queue() as its final call) from an atomic context. blk_put_queue() decrements the refcount for the request_queue kobject, and upon reaching 0 blk_release_queue() is called. Although blk_exit_rl() is now removed through commit db6d9952 ("block: remove request_list code") on v5.0, we reserve the right to be able to sleep within blk_release_queue() context. The last reference for the request_queue must not be called from atomic context. *When* the last reference to the request_queue reaches 0 varies, and so let's take the opportunity to document when that is expected to happen and also document the context of the related calls as best as possible so we can avoid future issues, and with the hopes that the synchronous request_queue removal sticks. We revert back to synchronous request_queue removal because asynchronous removal creates a regression with expected userspace interaction with several drivers. An example is when removing the loopback driver, one uses ioctls from userspace to do so, but upon return and if successful, one expects the device to be removed. Likewise if one races to add another device the new one may not be added as it is still being removed. This was expected behavior before and it now fails as the device is still present and busy still. Moving to asynchronous request_queue removal could have broken many scripts which relied on the removal to have been completed if there was no error. Document this expectation as well so that this doesn't regress userspace again. Using asynchronous request_queue removal however has helped us find other bugs. In the future we can test what could break with this arrangement by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. While at it, update the docs with the context expectations for the request_queue / gendisk refcount decrement, and make these expectations explicit by using might_sleep().

delete_partition() clears the cached last_lookup partition. However the .last_lookup cache may be overwritten by one IO path after it is cleared from delete_partition(). Then another IO path may use the cached deleting partition after hd_struct_free() is called, then use-after-free is triggered on the cached partition. Fixes the issue by the following approach: 1) always get the partition's refcount via hd_struct_try_get() before setting .last_lookup 2) move clearing .last_lookup from delete_partition() to hd_struct_free() which is the release handle of the partition's percpu-refcount, so that no IO path can cache deleteing partition via .last_lookup. It is one candidate approach of Yufen's patch[1] which adds overhead in fast path by indirect lookup which may introduce one extra cacheline in IO path. Also this patch relies on percpu-refcount's protection, and it is easier to understand and verify.

Commit b7205307 ("block: allow partitions on host aware zone devices") introduced the helper function disk_has_partitions() to check if a given disk has valid partitions. However, since this function result directly depends on the disk partition table length rather than the actual existence of valid partitions in the table, it returns true even after all partitions are removed from the disk. For host aware zoned block devices, this results in zone management support to be kept disabled even after removing all partitions. Fix this by changing disk_has_partitions() to walk through the partition table entries and return true if and only if a valid non-zero size partition is found.

When elevator_init_mq() is called from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(), the only information known about the device is the number of hardware queues as the block device scan by the device driver is not completed yet for most drivers. The device type and elevator required features are not set yet, preventing to correctly select the default elevator most suitable for the device. This currently affects all multi-queue zoned block devices which default to the "none" elevator instead of the required "mq-deadline" elevator. These drives currently include host-managed SMR disks connected to a smartpqi HBA and null_blk block devices with zoned mode enabled. Upcoming NVMe Zoned Namespace devices will also be affected. Fix this by adding the boolean elevator_init argument to blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() to control the execution of elevator_init_mq(). Two cases exist: 1) elevator_init = false is used for calls to blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() within blk_mq_init_queue(). In this case, a call to elevator_init_mq() is added to __device_add_disk(), resulting in the delayed initialization of the queue elevator after the device driver finished probing the device information. This effectively allows elevator_init_mq() access to more information about the device. 2) elevator_init = true preserves the current behavior of initializing the elevator directly from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(). This case is used for the special request based DM devices where the device gendisk is created before the queue initialization and device information (e.g. queue limits) is already known when the queue initialization is executed. Additionally, to make sure that the elevator initialization is never done while requests are in-flight (there should be none when the device driver calls device_add_disk()), freeze and quiesce the device request queue before calling blk_mq_init_sched() in elevator_init_mq().

Drivers now report to the block layer if they support media change events. If this is not the case, there's no need to allocate the event structure, and all event handling code can effectively be skipped. This simplifies code flow in particular for non-removable sd devices. This effectively reverts commit 75e3f3ee ("block: always allocate genhd->ev if check_events is implemented"). The sysfs files for the events are kept in place even if no events are supported, as user space may rely on them being present. The only difference is that an error code is now returned if the user tries to set poll_msecs.

Currently, an empty disk->events field tells the block layer not to forward media change events to user space. This was done in commit 7c88a168 ("block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland") in order to avoid events from "fringe" drivers to be forwarded to user space. By doing so, the block layer lost the information which events were supported by a particular block device, and most importantly, whether or not a given device supports media change events at all. Prepare for not interpreting the "events" field this way in the future any more. This is done by adding an additional field "event_flags" to struct gendisk, and two flag bits that can be set to have the device treated like one that had the "events" field set to a non-zero value before. This applies only to the sd and sr drivers, which are changed to set the new flags. The new flags are DISK_EVENT_FLAG_POLL to enforce polling of the device for synchronous events, and DISK_EVENT_FLAG_UEVENT to tell the blocklayer to generate udev events from kernel events. In order to add the event_flags field to struct gendisk, the events field is converted to an "unsigned short"; it doesn't need to hold values bigger than 2 anyway. This patch doesn't change behavior.
