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
available bits in each word.

The size of struct bfq_iocq_bfqq_data can be reduced by moving a few
fields around.
On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, this shrinks the size from 144 to 128
bytes. The main benefit is to reduce the size of struct bfq_io_cq from
1360 to 1232.
This structure is stored in a dedicated slab cache. So reducing its size
improves cache usage.

Move scheduler tags (sched_tags) allocation and deallocation outside
both the ->elevator_lock and ->freeze_lock when updating nr_hw_queues.
This change breaks the dependency chain from the percpu allocator lock
to the elevator lock, helping to prevent potential deadlocks, as
observed in the reported lockdep splat[1].
This commit introduces batch allocation and deallocation helpers for
sched_tags, which are now used from within __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
routine while iterating through the tagset.
With this change, all sched_tags memory management is handled entirely
outside the ->elevator_lock and the ->freeze_lock context, thereby
eliminating the lock dependency that could otherwise manifest during
nr_hw_queues updates.

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.

In preparation for allocating sched_tags before freezing the request
queue and acquiring ->elevator_lock, move the elevator queue allocation
logic from the elevator ops ->init_sched callback into blk_mq_init_sched.
As elevator_alloc is now only invoked from block layer core, we don't
need to export it, so unexport elevator_alloc function.
This refactoring provides a centralized location for elevator queue
initialization, which makes it easier to store pre-allocated sched_tags
in the struct elevator_queue during later changes.

Currently issue io can grab queue_lock three times from bfq_bio_merge(),
bfq_limit_depth() and bfq_prepare_request(), the queue_lock is not
necessary if icq is already created because both queue and ioc can't be
freed before io issuing is done, hence remove the unnecessary queue_lock
and use rcu to protect radix tree lookup.
Noted this is also a prep patch to support request batch dispatching[1].

In blk_stack_limits(), we check that the t->chunk_sectors value is a
multiple of the t->physical_block_size value.
However, by finding the chunk_sectors value in bytes, we may overflow
the unsigned int which holds chunk_sectors, so change the check to be
based on sectors.

For a device that does not advertize an optimal I/O size, the function
blk_apply_bdi_limits() defaults to an initial setting of the ra_pages
field of struct backing_dev_info to VM_READAHEAD_PAGES, that is, 128 KB.
This low I/O size value is far from being optimal for hard-disk devices:
when reading files from multiple contexts using buffered I/Os, the seek
overhead between the small read commands generated to read-ahead
multiple files will significantly limit the performance that can be
achieved.
This fact applies to all ATA devices as ATA does not define an optimal
I/O size and the SCSI SAT specification does not define a default value
to expose to the host.
Modify blk_apply_bdi_limits() to use a device max_sectors limit to
calculate the ra_pages field of struct backing_dev_info, when the device
is a rotational one (BLK_FEAT_ROTATIONAL feature is set). For a SCSI
disk, this defaults to 2560 KB, which significantly improve performance
for buffered reads. Using XFS and sequentially reading randomly selected
(large) files stored on a SATA HDD, the maximum throughput achieved with
8 readers reading files with 1MB buffered I/Os increases from 122 MB/s
to 167 MB/s (+36%). The improvement is even larger when reading files
using 128 KB buffered I/Os, with a throughput increasing from 57 MB/s to
165 MB/s (+189%).

- Refactor the iomap writeback code and split the generic and ioend/bio
based writeback code.
There are two methods that define the split between the generic
writeback code, and the implemementation of it, and all knowledge of
ioends and bios now sits below that layer.
- Add fuse iomap support for buffered writes and dirty folio writeback.
This is needed so that granular uptodate and dirty tracking can be
used in fuse when large folios are enabled. This has two big
advantages. For writes, instead of the entire folio needing to be
read into the page cache, only the relevant portions need to be. For
writeback, only the dirty portions need to be written back instead of
the entire folio.

Pull vfs 'protection info' updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the new FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP ioctl() to query metadata and
protection info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information
about the files integrity profile. This is useful for userspace
applications to understand a files end-to-end data protection support
and configure the I/O accordingly.
For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the
design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us
to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when
filesystems start supporting PI-aware layouts.
A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which
contains the following fields:
- lbmd_flags:
bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags
- lbmd_interval:
the amount of data described by each unit of logical block metadata
- lbmd_size:
size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated with each
interval
- lbmd_opaque_size:
size in bytes of the opaque block tag associated with each interval
- lbmd_opaque_offset:
offset in bytes of the opaque block tag within the logical block
metadata

- lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size:

- lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size:

The internal logic to fetch the capability is encapsulated in a helper
function blk_get_meta_cap(), which uses the blk_integrity profile
associated with the device. The ioctl returns -EOPNOTSUPP, if

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b ("mm:
introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").
This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require
a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.
This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.
Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.
The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this
series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare.
Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.
Commit bb666b7c27 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback.
This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.
As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
can nest all other file systems.
We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.
We shall return to all of these later"

Pull fallocate updates from Christian Brauner:
"fallocate() currently supports creating preallocated files
efficiently. However, on most filesystems fallocate() will preallocate
blocks in an unwriten state even if FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is specified.
The extent state must later be converted to a written state when the
user writes data into this range, which can trigger numerous metadata
changes and journal I/O. This may leads to significant write
amplification and performance degradation in synchronous write mode.
At the moment, the only method to avoid this is to create an empty
file and write zero data into it (for example, using 'dd' with a large
block size). However, this method is slow and consumes a considerable
amount of disk bandwidth.
Now that more and more flash-based storage devices are available it is
possible to efficiently write zeros to SSDs using the unmap write
zeroes command if the devices do not write physical zeroes to the
media.
For example, if SCSI SSDs support the UMMAP bit or NVMe SSDs support
the DEAC bit[1], the write zeroes command does not write actual data
to the device, instead, NVMe converts the zeroed range to a
deallocated state, which works fast and consumes almost no disk write
bandwidth.
This series implements the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP feature and
BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED flag for SCSI, NVMe and
device-mapper drivers, and add the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES and
STATX_ATTR_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP support for ext4 and raw bdev devices.
fallocate() is subsequently extended with the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES
flag. FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES zeroes a specified file range in such a
way that subsequent writes to that range do not require further
changes to the file mapping metadata. This flag is beneficial for
subsequent pure overwriting within this range, as it can save on block
allocation and, consequently, significant metadata changes"

"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support
This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.
Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.
Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.

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.

The blk_get_meta_cap() implementation directly assigns bi->csum_type to
the UAPI field lbmd_guard_tag_type. This is not right as the kernel enum
blk_integrity_checksum values are not guaranteed to match the UAPI
defined values.
Fix this by explicitly mapping internal checksum types to UAPI-defined
constants to ensure compatibility and correctness, especially for the
devices using CRC64 PI.

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 atomic write unit max value is limited by any stacked device stripe
size.
It is required that the atomic write unit is a power-of-2 factor of the
stripe size.
Currently we use io_min limit to hold the stripe size, and check for a
io_min <= SECTOR_SIZE when deciding if we have a striped stacked device.
Nilay reports that this causes a problem when the physical block size is
greater than SECTOR_SIZE [0].
Furthermore, io_min may be mutated when stacking devices, and this makes
it a poor candidate to hold the stripe size. Such an example (of when
io_min may change) would be when the io_min is less than the physical
block size.
Use chunk_sectors to hold the stripe size, which is more appropriate.

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.

blk_zone_update_request_bio() does two things. First it checks if the
request to be completed was written via ZONE APPEND and if yes it then
updates the sector to the one that the data was written to.
This is small enough to be an inline function. But upcoming changes adding
a tracepoint don't work if the function is inlined.
Split the function into two, the first is blk_req_bio_is_zone_append()
checking if the sector needs to be updated. This can still be an inline
function. The second is blk_zone_append_update_request_bio() doing the
sector update.

Replace ->map_blocks with a new ->writeback_range, which differs in the
following ways:
- it must also queue up the I/O for writeback, that is called into the
slightly refactored and extended in scope iomap_add_to_ioend for
each region
- can handle only a part of the requested region, that is the retry
loop for partial mappings moves to the caller
- handles cleanup on failures as well, and thus also replaces the
discard_folio method only implemented by XFS.
This will allow to use the iomap writeback code also for file systems
that are not block based like fuse.

Anders and Naresh found that the addition of the FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP
handling in the blockdev ioctl handler breaks all ioctls with
_IOC_NR==2, as the new command is not added to the switch but only
a few of the command bits are check.
Move the check into the blk_get_meta_cap() function itself and make
it return -ENOIOCTLCMD for any unsupported command code, including
those with a smaller size that previously returned -EINVAL.
For consistency this also drops the check for NULL 'arg' that
is really useless, as any invalid pointer should return -EFAULT.

group_cpu_evenly() might have allocated less groups then requested:
group_cpu_evenly()
__group_cpus_evenly()
alloc_nodes_groups()
# allocated total groups may be less than numgrps when
# active total CPU number is less then numgrps
In this case, the caller will do an out of bound access because the
caller assumes the masks returned has numgrps.
Return the number of groups created so the caller can limit the access
range accordingly.

Add a new ioctl, FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP, to query metadata and protection
info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information about the files
integrity profile. This is useful for userspace applications to
understand a files end-to-end data protection support and configure the
I/O accordingly.
For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the
design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us
to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when
filesystems start supporting PI-aware layouts.
A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which
contains the following fields:
1. lbmd_flags: bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags
2. lbmd_interval: the amount of data described by each unit of logical
block metadata
3. lbmd_size: size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated
with each interval
4. lbmd_opaque_size: size in bytes of the opaque block tag associated
with each interval
5. lbmd_opaque_offset: offset in bytes of the opaque block tag within
the logical block metadata
6. lbmd_pi_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI tuple associated with each
interval
7. lbmd_pi_offset: offset in bytes of T10 PI tuple within the logical
block metadata
8. lbmd_pi_guard_tag_type: T10 PI guard tag type
9. lbmd_pi_app_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI application tag
10. lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI reference tag
11. lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI storage tag
The internal logic to fetch the capability is encapsulated in a helper
function blk_get_meta_cap(), which uses the blk_integrity profile
associated with the device. The ioctl returns -EOPNOTSUPP, if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is not enabled.

Introduce a new pi_tuple_size field in struct blk_integrity to
explicitly represent the size (in bytes) of the protection information
(PI) tuple. This is a prep patch.
Add validation in blk_validate_integrity_limits() to ensure that
pi size matches the expected size for known checksum types and never
exceeds the pi_tuple_size.

The tuple_size field in blk_integrity currently represents the total
size of metadata associated with each data interval. To make the meaning
more explicit, rename tuple_size to metadata_size. This is a purely
mechanical rename with no functional changes.

Add a new blk_rq_dma_map / blk_rq_dma_unmap pair that does away with
the wasteful scatterlist structure. Instead it uses the mapping iterator
to either add segments to the IOVA for IOMMU operations, or just maps
them one by one for the direct mapping. For the IOMMU case instead of
a scatterlist with an entry for each segment, only a single [dma_addr,len]
pair needs to be stored for processing a request, and for the direct
mapping the per-segment allocation shrinks from
[page,offset,len,dma_addr,dma_len] to just [dma_addr,len].
One big difference to the scatterlist API, which could be considered
downside, is that the IOVA collapsing only works when the driver sets
a virt_boundary that matches the IOMMU granule. For NVMe this is done
already so it works perfectly.

To get out of the DMA mapping helpers having to check every segment for
it's P2P status, ensure that bios either contain P2P transfers or non-P2P
transfers, and that a P2P bio only contains ranges from a single device.
This means we do the page zone access in the bio add path where it should
be still page hot, and will only have do the fairly expensive P2P topology
lookup once per bio down in the DMA mapping path, and only for already
marked bios.

In preparation for fixing device mapper zone write handling, introduce
the inline helper function bio_needs_zone_write_plugging() to test if a
BIO requires handling through zone write plugging using the function
blk_zone_plug_bio(). This function returns true for any write
(op_is_write(bio) == true) operation directed at a zoned block device
using zone write plugging, that is, a block device with a disk that has
a zone write plug hash table.
This helper allows simplifying the check on entry to blk_zone_plug_bio()
and used in to protect calls to it for blk-mq devices and DM devices.

Back in 2015, commit d2be537c3b ("block: bump BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS to
2560") increased the default maximum size of a block device I/O to 2560
sectors (1280 KiB) to "accommodate a 10-data-disk stripe write with
chunk size 128k". This choice is rather arbitrary and since then,
improvements to the block layer have software RAID drivers correctly
advertize their stripe width through chunk_sectors and abuses of
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS_CAP by drivers (to set the HW limit rather than the
default user controlled maximum I/O size) have been fixed.
Since many block devices can benefit from a larger value of
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS_CAP, and in particular HDDs, increase this value to
be 4MiB, or 8192 sectors.
And given that BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS_CAP is only used in the block layer
and should not be used by drivers directly, move this macro definition
to the block layer internal header file block/blk.h.
