commit 69e0927b37 upstream.
During stress tests by syzkaller on the sg driver the block layer
infrequently returns EINVAL. Closer inspection shows the block
layer was trying to return ENOMEM (which is much more
understandable) but for some reason overroad that useful error.
Patch below does not show this (unchanged) line:
ret =__blk_rq_map_user_iov(rq, map_data, &i, gfp_mask, copy);
That 'ret' was being overridden when that function failed.

When adding a cfq_group into the cfq service tree, we use CFQ_IDLE_DELAY

When cfq is under iops mode, commit 9a7f38c42c ("cfq-iosched: Convert

lead to an abnormal io schedule delay for the added cfq_group. To fix
it, we just need to revert to the old CFQ_IDLE_DELAY value: HZ / 5
when iops mode is enabled.
Despite having the same value, the delay of a cfq_queue in idle class
and the delay of cfq_group are different things, so I define two new
macros for the delay of a cfq_group under time-slice mode and iops mode.

commit 19b7ccf865 upstream.
Commit 25520d55cd ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk")
introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership
of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity
profile is registered:
if (bi->profile)
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |=
BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
else
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &=
~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it
impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions
and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be
trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and
hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can
be triggered from userspace at any time. This breaks rbd, where the
ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs.
Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering
the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
setting there. This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and
use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't
but still want stable pages.

commit 36e1f3d107 upstream.
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.

There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios,
and others that check if the list is empty. These are no longer
correct.
So redefine current->bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which
contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both
lists.

commit 79bd99596b upstream.
To avoid recursion on the kernel stack when stacked block devices
are in use, generic_make_request() will, when called recursively,
queue new requests for later handling. They will be handled when the
make_request_fn for the current bio completes.
If any bios are submitted by a make_request_fn, these will ultimately
be handled seqeuntially. If the handling of one of those generates
further requests, they will be added to the end of the queue.
This strict first-in-first-out behaviour can lead to deadlocks in
various ways, normally because a request might need to wait for a
previous request to the same device to complete. This can happen when
they share a mempool, and can happen due to interdependencies
particular to the device. Both md and dm have examples where this happens.
These deadlocks can be erradicated by more selective ordering of bios.
Specifically by handling them in depth-first order. That is: when the
handling of one bio generates one or more further bios, they are
handled immediately after the parent, before any siblings of the
parent. That way, when generic_make_request() calls make_request_fn
for some particular device, we can be certain that all previously
submited requests for that device have been completely handled and are
not waiting for anything in the queue of requests maintained in
generic_make_request().
An easy way to achieve this would be to use a last-in-first-out stack
instead of a queue. However this will change the order of consecutive
bios submitted by a make_request_fn, which could have unexpected consequences.
Instead we take a slightly more complex approach.
A fresh queue is created for each call to a make_request_fn. After it completes,
any bios for a different device are placed on the front of the main queue, followed
by any bios for the same device, followed by all bios that were already on
the queue before the make_request_fn was called.
This provides the depth-first approach without reordering bios on the same level.
This, by itself, it not enough to remove all deadlocks. It just makes
it possible for drivers to take the extra step required themselves.
To avoid deadlocks, drivers must never risk waiting for a request
after submitting one to generic_make_request. This includes never
allocing from a mempool twice in the one call to a make_request_fn.
A common pattern in drivers is to call bio_split() in a loop, handling
the first part and then looping around to possibly split the next part.
Instead, a driver that finds it needs to split a bio should queue
(with generic_make_request) the second part, handle the first part,
and then return. The new code in generic_make_request will ensure the
requests to underlying bios are processed first, then the second bio
that was split off. If it splits again, the same process happens. In
each case one bio will be completely handled before the next one is attempted.
With this is place, it should be possible to disable the
punt_bios_to_recover() recovery thread for many block devices, and
eventually it may be possible to remove it completely.

[ Upstream commit 25cdb64510 ]
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
[...] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#0 Sense Key : Aborted Command [current]

errata:
When a read command returns less data than specified in the PRDs (for
example, there are two PRDs for this command, but the device returns a
number of bytes which is less than in the first PRD), the second PRD of
this command is not read out of the PRD FIFO, causing the next command
to use this PRD erroneously.
workaround
- forces sg_tablesize = 1
- modified the sg_io function in block/scsi_ioctl.c to use a 64k buffer
allocated with dma_alloc_coherent during the probe in ahci_imx
- In order to fix the scsi/sata hang, when CD_ROM and HDD are
accessed simultaneously after the workaround is applied.

commit c02ebfdddb upstream.
Commit 0e87e58bf6 ("blk-mq: improve warning for running a queue on the
wrong CPU") attempts to avoid triggering the WARN_ON in
__blk_mq_run_hw_queue when the expected CPU is dead. Problem is, in the
last batch execution before round robin, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu can
schedule a dead CPU and also update next_cpu to the next alive CPU in
the mask, which will trigger the WARN_ON despite the previous
workaround.
The following patch fixes this scenario by always scheduling the value
in hctx->next_cpu. This changes the moment when we round-robin the CPU
running the hctx, but it really doesn't matter, since it still executes
BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH times in a row before switching to another CPU.

Make sure that the offset and length arguments that we're using to
construct WRITE SAME and DISCARD requests are actually aligned to the
logical block size. Failure to do this causes other errors in other parts
of the block layer or the SCSI layer because disks don't support partial
logical block writes.

Patch series "fallocate for block devices", v11.
This is a patchset to fix page cache coherency with BLKZEROOUT and
implement fallocate for block devices.
The first patch is a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to invalidate
the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying device succeeds.
Without this patch we still have the pagecache coherence bug that's been
in the kernel forever.
The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject
attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical block
size. Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters were
512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs to 4k-LBA
devices.
The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires up
the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent
fallocate interface between files and block devices. It also allows the
combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing discard.
Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as
generic/349-351.
This patch (of 3):
Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid
returning stale cache contents at a later time.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

Inspecting my run with blktrace, I can see that the xfsaild kthread exhibit very
high "Dispatch wait" times, on the dozens of seconds range and consistent with
the open() times I have saw in that run.
Still from the blktrace output, we can after searching a bit, identify the
request that wasn't dispatched:

<==== Only 15s later the CFQ scheduler dispatches the request ======================>
As we can see above, in this particular example CFQ took 15 seconds to dispatch
this request. Going back to the full trace, we can see that the xfsaild queue
had plenty of opportunity to run, and it was selected as the active queue many
times. It would just always be preempted by something else (example):
8,0 1 0 81.117912979 0 m N cfq1618SN / insert_request
8,0 1 0 81.117913419 0 m N cfq1618SN / add_to_rr
8,0 1 0 81.117914044 0 m N cfq1618SN / preempt
8,0 1 0 81.117914398 0 m N cfq767A / slice expired t=1
8,0 1 0 81.117914755 0 m N cfq767A / resid=40
8,0 1 0 81.117915340 0 m N / served: vt=1948520448 min_vt=1948520448
8,0 1 0 81.117915858 0 m N cfq767A / sl_used=1 disp=0 charge=0 iops=1 sect=0
where cfq767 is the xfsaild queue and cfq1618 corresponds to one of the ScyllaDB
IO dispatchers.
The requests preempting the xfsaild queue are synchronous requests. That's a
characteristic of ScyllaDB workloads, as we only ever issue O_DIRECT requests.
While it can be argued that preempting ASYNC requests in favor of SYNC is part
of the CFQ logic, I don't believe that doing so for 15+ seconds is anyone's
goal.
Moreover, unless I am misunderstanding something, that breaks the expectation
set by the "fifo_expire_async" tunable, which in my system is set to the
default.
Looking at the code, it seems to me that the issue is that after we make
an async queue active, there is no guarantee that it will execute any request.
When the queue itself tests if it cfq_may_dispatch() it can bail if it sees SYNC
requests in flight. An incoming request from another queue can also preempt it
in such situation before we have the chance to execute anything (as seen in the
trace above).
This patch sets the must_dispatch flag if we notice that we have requests
that are already fifo_expired. This flag is always cleared after
cfq_dispatch_request() returns from cfq_dispatch_requests(), so it won't pin
the queue for subsequent requests (unless they are themselves expired)
Care is taken during preempt to still allow rt requests to preempt us
regardless.
Testing my workload with this patch applied produces much better results.
From the application side I see no timeouts, and the open() latency histogram
generated by systemtap looks much better, with the worst outlier at 131ms:

The "blk_mq_queue_reinit_dead()" just cleared the cpumask instead doing
a copy. Since we might never had an online callback we could end up with
a ZERO mask which in turn leads to crash as test robot demonstarted.
