Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:

 - NVMe pull request via Keith:
      - Improve quirk visibility and configurability (Maurizio)
      - Fix runtime user modification to queue setup (Keith)
      - Fix multipath leak on try_module_get failure (Keith)
      - Ignore ambiguous spec definitions for better atomics support
        (John)
      - Fix admin queue leak on controller reset (Ming)
      - Fix large allocation in persistent reservation read keys
        (Sungwoo Kim)
      - Fix fcloop callback handling (Justin)
      - Securely free DHCHAP secrets (Daniel)
      - Various cleanups and typo fixes (John, Wilfred)

 - Avoid a circular lock dependency issue in the sysfs nr_requests or
   scheduler store handling

 - Fix a circular lock dependency with the pcpu mutex and the queue
   freeze lock

 - Cleanup for bio_copy_kern(), using __bio_add_page() rather than the
   bio_add_page(), as adding a page here cannot fail. The exiting code
   had broken cleanup for the error condition, so make it clear that the
   error condition cannot happen

 - Fix for a __this_cpu_read() in preemptible context splat

539d1b47e9 block: break pcpu_alloc_mutex dependency on freeze_lock
While nr_hw_update allocates tagset tags it acquires ->pcpu_alloc_mutex
after ->freeze_lock is acquired or queue is frozen. This potentially
creates a circular dependency involving ->fs_reclaim if reclaim is
triggered simultaneously in a code path which first acquires ->pcpu_
alloc_mutex. As the queue is already frozen while nr_hw_queue update
allocates tagsets, the reclaim can't forward progress and thus it could
cause a potential deadlock as reported in lockdep splat[1].

Fix this by pre-allocating tagset tags before we freeze queue during
nr_hw_queue update. Later the allocated tagset tags could be safely
installed and used after queue is frozen.

bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

d16738a4e7 The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the preferred
affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against
 housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events.
 
 One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated
 partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound
 kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the
 non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along
 the way.
 
 Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to
 the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred
 affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated
 partitions.
 
 The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and
 kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's
 suggestion.
 
 As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set
 from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset
 isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a
 specific RCU based synchronization. A big step toward making nohz_full=
 also mutable through cpuset in the future.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Support for batch request processing for ublk, improving the
   efficiency of the kernel/ublk server communication. This can yield
   nice 7-12% performance improvements

 - Support for integrity data for ublk

 - Various other ublk improvements and additions, including a ton of
   selftests additions and updated

 - Move the handling of blk-crypto software fallback from below the
   block layer to above it. This reduces the complexity of dealing with
   bio splitting

 - Series fixing a number of potential deadlocks in blk-mq related to
   the queue usage counter and writeback throttling and rq-qos debugfs
   handling

 - Add an async_depth queue attribute, to resolve a performance
   regression that's been around for a qhilw related to the scheduler
   depth handling

 - Only use task_work for IOPOLL completions on NVMe, if it is necessary
   to do so. An earlier fix for an issue resulted in all these
   completions being punted to task_work, to guarantee that completions
   were only run for a given io_uring ring when it was local to that
   ring. With the new changes, we can detect if it's necessary to use
   task_work or not, and avoid it if possible.

 - rnbd fixes:
      - Fix refcount underflow in device unmap path
      - Handle PREFLUSH and NOUNMAP flags properly in protocol
      - Fix server-side bi_size for special IOs
      - Zero response buffer before use
      - Fix trace format for flags
      - Add .release to rnbd_dev_ktype

 - MD pull requests via Yu Kuai
      - Fix raid5_run() to return error when log_init() fails
      - Fix IO hang with degraded array with llbitmap
      - Fix percpu_ref not resurrected on suspend timeout in llbitmap
      - Fix GPF in write_page caused by resize race
      - Fix NULL pointer dereference in process_metadata_update
      - Fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid
      - Fix any_working flag handling in raid10_sync_request
      - Refactor sync/recovery code path, improve error handling for
        badblocks, and remove unused recovery_disabled field
      - Consolidate mddev boolean fields into mddev_flags
      - Use mempool to allocate stripe_request_ctx and make sure
        max_sectors is not less than io_opt in raid5
      - Fix return value of mddev_trylock
      - Fix memory leak in raid1_run()
      - Add Li Nan as mdraid reviewer

 - Move phys_vec definitions to the kernel types, mostly in preparation
   for some VFIO and RDMA changes

 - Improve the speed for secure erase for some devices

 - Various little rust updates

 - Various other minor fixes, improvements, and cleanups

53c2f9d1b1 block: Protect against concurrent isolated cpuset change
The block subsystem prevents running the workqueue to isolated CPUs,
including those defined by cpuset isolated partitions. Since
HK_TYPE_DOMAIN will soon contain both and be subject to runtime
modifications, synchronize against housekeeping using the relevant lock.

For full support of cpuset changes, the block subsystem may need to
propagate changes to isolated cpumask through the workqueue in the
future.

046be7e596 blk-mq: use BLK_POLL_ONESHOT for synchronous poll completion
blk_execute_rq() with polling is used in kernel code paths such as
NVMe controller connect. The aggressive spinning in blk_hctx_poll()
can prevent the completion task from getting a chance to run, causing
a lockup.

The spinning with cpu_relax() doesn't yield CPU, so need_resched()
only becomes true on timer tick. This causes unnecessary spinning
while the completion task is already waiting to run.

Before commit f22ecf9c14, the loop would exit early because
task_is_running() was always true. After that commit removed the
check, the loop now spins until need_resched().

Fix this by using BLK_POLL_ONESHOT in blk_rq_poll_completion(). This
causes blk_hctx_poll() to poll once and return immediately, letting
the outer loop's cond_resched() yield CPU so the completion task can
run.

Fixes: f22ecf9c14 ("blk-mq: delete task running check in blk_hctx_poll()")

64dd89ae01 mm/block/fs: remove laptop_mode
Laptop mode was introduced to save battery, by delaying and consolidating
writes and thereby maximize the time rotating hard drives wouldn't have to
spin.

Luckily, rotating hard drives, with their high spin-up times and power
draw, are a thing of the past for battery-powered devices.  Reclaim has
also since changed to not write single filesystem pages anymore, and
regular filesystem writeback is lumpy by design.

The juice doesn't appear worth the squeeze anymore.  The footprint of the
feature is small, but nevertheless it's a complicating factor in mm,
block, filesystems.  Developers don't think about it, and it likely hasn't
been tested with new reclaim and writeback changes in years.

Let's sunset it.  Keep the sysctl with a deprecation warning around for a
few more cycles, but remove all functionality behind it.

5e2fde1a94 block: pass io_comp_batch to rq_end_io_fn callback
Add a third parameter 'const struct io_comp_batch *' to the rq_end_io_fn
callback signature. This allows end_io handlers to access the completion
batch context when requests are completed via blk_mq_end_request_batch().

The io_comp_batch is passed from blk_mq_end_request_batch(), while NULL
is passed from __blk_mq_end_request() and blk_mq_put_rq_ref() which don't
have batch context.

This infrastructure change enables drivers to detect whether they're
being called from a batched completion path (like iopoll) and access
additional context stored in the io_comp_batch.

Update all rq_end_io_fn implementations:
- block/blk-mq.c: blk_end_sync_rq
- block/blk-flush.c: flush_end_io, mq_flush_data_end_io
- drivers/nvme/host/ioctl.c: nvme_uring_cmd_end_io

f22ecf9c14 blk-mq: delete task running check in blk_hctx_poll()
blk_hctx_poll() always checks if the task is running or not, and returns
1 if the task is running. This is a leftover from when polled IO was
purely for synchronous IO, and doesn't make sense anymore when polled IO
is purely asynchronous. Similarly, marking the task as TASK_RUNNING is
also superflous, as the very much has to be running to enter the
function in the first place.

It looks like there has been this judgment for historical reasons, and
in very early versions of this function the user would set the process
state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

59e25ef2b4 block: Use RCU in blk_mq_[un]quiesce_tagset() instead of set->tag_list_lock
blk_mq_{add,del}_queue_tag_set() functions add and remove queues from
tagset, the functions make sure that tagset and queues are marked as
shared when two or more queues are attached to the same tagset.
Initially a tagset starts as unshared and when the number of added
queues reaches two, blk_mq_add_queue_tag_set() marks it as shared along
with all the queues attached to it. When the number of attached queues
drops to 1 blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set() need to mark both the tagset and
the remaining queues as unshared.

Both functions need to freeze current queues in tagset before setting on
unsetting BLK_MQ_F_TAG_QUEUE_SHARED flag. While doing so, both functions
hold set->tag_list_lock mutex, which makes sense as we do not want
queues to be added or deleted in the process. This used to work fine
until commit 98d81f0df7 ("nvme: use blk_mq_[un]quiesce_tagset")
made the nvme driver quiesce tagset instead of quiscing individual
queues. blk_mq_quiesce_tagset() does the job and quiesce the queues in
set->tag_list while holding set->tag_list_lock also.

This results in deadlock between two threads with these stacktraces:

The top stacktrace is showing nvme_timeout() called to handle nvme
command timeout. timeout handler is trying to disable the controller and
as a first step, it needs to blk_mq_quiesce_tagset() to tell blk-mq not
to call queue callback handlers. The thread is stuck waiting for
set->tag_list_lock as it tries to walk the queues in set->tag_list.

The lock is held by the second thread in the bottom stack which is
waiting for one of queues to be frozen. The queue usage counter will
drop to zero after nvme_timeout() finishes, and this will not happen
because the thread will wait for this mutex forever.

Given that [un]quiescing queue is an operation that does not need to
sleep, update blk_mq_[un]quiesce_tagset() to use RCU instead of taking
set->tag_list_lock, update blk_mq_{add,del}_queue_tag_set() to use RCU
safe list operations. Also, delete INIT_LIST_HEAD(&q->tag_set_list)
in blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set() because we can not re-initialize it while
the list is being traversed under RCU. The deleted queue will not be
added/deleted to/from a tagset and it will be freed in blk_free_queue()
after the end of RCU grace period.

blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() will free the 'queue_hw_ctx'(e.g. undate

used from other context(e.g. switch elevator to none):

t1					t2

   queue_for_each_hw_ctx

					__blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
					 blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs
					  hctxs = q->queue_hw_ctx
					  q->queue_hw_ctx = new_hctxs
					  kfree(hctxs)
    movslq %ebx,%rax
    mov    (%rdx,%rax,8),%rdi ->uaf

This problem was found by code review, and I comfirmed that the concurrent
scenario do exist(specifically 'q->queue_hw_ctx' can be changed during
blk_mq_run_hw_queues()), however, the uaf problem hasn't been repoduced yet
without hacking the kernel.

Sicne the queue is freezed in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), fix the
problem by protecting 'queue_hw_ctx' through rcu where it can be accessed
without grabbing 'q_usage_counter'.

d0c98769ee blk-mq: use array manage hctx map instead of xarray
After commit 4e5cc99e1e ("blk-mq: manage hctx map via xarray"), we use
an xarray instead of array to store hctx, but in poll mode, each time
in blk_mq_poll, we need use xa_load to find corresponding hctx, this
introduce some costs. In my test, xa_load may cost 3.8% cpu.

This patch revert previous change, eliminates the overhead of xa_load
and can result in a 3% performance improvement.

04728ce909 block: move elevator tags into struct elevator_resources
This patch introduces a new structure, struct elevator_resources, to
group together all elevator-related resources that share the same
lifetime. As a first step, this change moves the elevator tag pointer
from struct elv_change_ctx into the new struct elevator_resources.

Additionally, rename blk_mq_alloc_sched_tags_batch() and
blk_mq_free_sched_tags_batch() to blk_mq_alloc_sched_res_batch() and
blk_mq_free_sched_res_batch(), respectively. Introduce two new wrapper
helpers, blk_mq_alloc_sched_res() and blk_mq_free_sched_res(), around
blk_mq_alloc_sched_tags() and blk_mq_free_sched_tags().

These changes pave the way for consolidating the allocation and freeing
of elevator-specific resources into common helper functions. This
refactoring improves encapsulation and prepares the code for future
extensions, allowing additional elevator-specific data to be added to
struct elevator_resources without cluttering struct elv_change_ctx.

Subsequent patches will extend struct elevator_resources to include
other elevator-related data.

232143b605 block: unify elevator tags and type xarrays into struct elv_change_ctx
Currently, the nr_hw_queues update path manages two disjoint xarrays —
one for elevator tags and another for elevator type — both used during
elevator switching. Maintaining these two parallel structures for the
same purpose adds unnecessary complexity and potential for mismatched
state.

This patch unifies both xarrays into a single structure, struct
elv_change_ctx, which holds all per-queue elevator change context. A
single xarray, named elv_tbl, now maps each queue (q->id) in a tagset
to its corresponding elv_change_ctx entry, encapsulating the elevator
tags, type and name references.

This unification simplifies the code, improves maintainability, and
clarifies ownership of per-queue elevator state.

2f6b2565d4 block: accumulate memory segment gaps per bio
The blk-mq dma iterator has an optimization for requests that align to
the device's iommu merge boundary. This boundary may be larger than the
device's virtual boundary, but the code had been depending on that queue
limit to know ahead of time if the request is guaranteed to align to
that optimization.

Rather than rely on that queue limit, which many devices may not report,
save the lowest set bit of any boundary gap between each segment in the
bio while checking the segments. The request stores the value for
merging and quickly checking per io if the request can use iova
optimizations.

135b8521f2 blk-mq: Defer freeing flush queue to SRCU callback
The freeing of the flush queue/request in blk_mq_exit_hctx() can race with
tag iterators that may still be accessing it. To prevent a potential
use-after-free, the deallocation should be deferred until after a grace
period. With this way, we can replace the big tags->lock in tags iterator
code path with srcu for solving the issue.

This patch introduces an SRCU-based deferred freeing mechanism for the
flush queue.

The changes include:
- Adding a `rcu_head` to `struct blk_flush_queue`.
- Creating a new callback function, `blk_free_flush_queue_callback`,
  to handle the actual freeing.
- Replacing the direct call to `blk_free_flush_queue()` in
  `blk_mq_exit_hctx()` with `call_srcu()`, using the `tags_srcu`
  instance to ensure synchronization with tag iterators.

ad0d05dbdd blk-mq: Defer freeing of tags page_list to SRCU callback
Tag iterators can race with the freeing of the request pages(tags->page_list),
potentially leading to use-after-free issues.

Defer the freeing of the page list and the tags structure itself until
after an SRCU grace period has passed. This ensures that any concurrent
tag iterators have completed before the memory is released. With this
way, we can replace the big tags->lock in tags iterator code path with
srcu for solving the issue.

This is achieved by:
- Adding a new `srcu_struct tags_srcu` to `blk_mq_tag_set` to protect
  tag map iteration.
- Adding an `rcu_head` to `struct blk_mq_tags` to be used with
  `call_srcu`.
- Moving the page list freeing logic and the `kfree(tags)` call into a
  new callback function, `blk_mq_free_tags_callback`.
- In `blk_mq_free_tags`, invoking `call_srcu` to schedule the new
  callback for deferred execution.

The read-side protection for the tag iterators will be added in a
subsequent patch.

7d337eef4a blk-mq: fix elevator depth_updated method
Current depth_updated has some problems:

1) depth_updated() will be called for each hctx, while all elevators
will update async_depth for the disk level, this is not related to hctx;
2) In blk_mq_update_nr_requests(), if previous hctx update succeed and
this hctx update failed, q->nr_requests will not be updated, while
async_depth is already updated with new nr_reqeuests in previous
depth_updated();
3) All elevators are using q->nr_requests to calculate async_depth now,
however, q->nr_requests is still the old value when depth_updated() is
called from blk_mq_update_nr_requests();

Those problems are first from error path, then mq-deadline, and recently
for bfq and kyber, fix those problems by:

- pass in request_queue instead of hctx;
- move depth_updated() after q->nr_requests is updated in
  blk_mq_update_nr_requests();
- add depth_updated() call inside init_sched() method to initialize
  async_depth;
- remove init_hctx() method for mq-deadline and bfq that is useless now;

2d82f3bd89 blk-mq: fix lockdep warning in __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
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.

04225d13ae block: fix potential deadlock while running nr_hw_queue update
Move scheduler tags (sched_tags) allocation and deallocation outside

This change breaks the dependency chain from the percpu allocator lock
to the elevator lock, helping to prevent potential deadlocks, as

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.

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.

5022dae762 block: split blk_zone_update_request_bio into two functions
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.

f70291411b block: Introduce bio_needs_zone_write_plugging()
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.

2d8951aee8 block: unfreeze queue if realloc tag set fails during nr_hw_queues update
In __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), the current sequence involves:

1. unregistering sysfs/debugfs attributes
2. freeze the queue
3. reallocating the tag set
4. updating the queue map
5. reallocating hardware contexts
6. updating the elevator (which unfreeze the queue again)
7. re-register sysfs/debugfs attributes

If tag set reallocation fails at step 3, the function skips steps 4–6
and proceeds directly to step 7, re-registering the sysfs/debugfs
attributes without unfreezing the queue first. This is incorrect and
can lead to a system hang or lockdep splat, as the queue remains frozen
and is never properly unfrozen.

This patch addresses the issue by explicitly unfreezing the queue before
re-registering the sysfs/debugfs attributes in the event of a tag set
reallocation failure.

7ed7fa561c block: move hctx cpuhp add/del out of queue freezing
Move hctx cpuhp add/del out of queue freezing for not connecting freeze
lock with cpuhp locks, then lockdep warning can be avoided.

This way is safe because both needn't queue to be frozen and scheduler
switch isn't allowed, with same reason for moving hctx debugfs/sysfs
register out of queue freeze.

0a47d2b433 block: don't acquire ->elevator_lock in blk_mq_map_swqueue and blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs
Both blk_mq_map_swqueue() and blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() are called before
the request queue is added to tagset list, so the two won't run concurrently
with blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues().

When the two functions are only called from queue initialization or
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), elevator switch can't happen.

So remove ->elevator_lock uses from the two functions.
