[ Upstream commit 605f7415ecfb426610195dd6c7577b30592b3369 ]

Most of bioset_exit() is fine being called twice, as it clears the
various allocations etc when they are freed. The exception is
bio_alloc_cache_destroy(), which does not clear -&gt;cache when it has
freed it.

This isn't necessarily a bug, but can be if buggy users does call the
exit path more then once, or with just a memset() bioset which has
never been initialized. dm appears to be one such user.

<title>block: fix rq-qos breakage from skipping rq_qos_done_bio()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit aa1b46dcdc7baaf5fec0be25782ef24b26aa209e upstream.

a647a524a467 ("block: don't call rq_qos_ops-&gt;done_bio if the bio isn't
tracked") made bio_endio() skip rq_qos_done_bio() if BIO_TRACKED is not set.
While this fixed a potential oops, it also broke blk-iocost by skipping the
done_bio callback for merged bios.

Before, whether a bio goes through rq_qos_throttle() or rq_qos_merge(),
rq_qos_done_bio() would be called on the bio on completion with BIO_TRACKED
distinguishing the former from the latter. rq_qos_done_bio() is not called
for bios which wenth through rq_qos_merge(). This royally confuses
blk-iocost as the merged bios never finish and are considered perpetually
in-flight.

One reliably reproducible failure mode is an intermediate cgroup geting
stuck active preventing its children from being activated due to the
leaf-only rule, leading to loss of control. The following is from
resctl-bench protection scenario which emulates isolating a web server like
workload from a memory bomb run on an iocost configuration which should
yield a reasonable level of protection.

  Result: isol=58.12:15.82% lat_imp=53.88%:143.6 work_csv=100.0% missing=3.96%

The isolation result of 58.12% is close to what this device would show
without any IO control.

Fix it by introducing a new flag BIO_QOS_MERGED to mark merged bios and
calling rq_qos_done_bio() on them too. For consistency and clarity, rename
BIO_TRACKED to BIO_QOS_THROTTLED. The flag checks are moved into
rq_qos_done_bio() so that it's next to the code paths that set the flags.

With the patch applied, the above same benchmark shows:

bio_truncate() clears the buffer outside of last block of bdev, however
current bio_truncate() is using the wrong offset of page. So it can
return the uninitialized data.

This happened when both of truncated/corrupted FS and userspace (via
bdev) are trying to read the last of bdev.

Pull iomap updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Convert xfs/iomap to use folios.

  This should be all that is needed for XFS to use large folios. There
  is no code in this pull request to create large folios, but no
  additional changes should be needed to XFS or iomap once they are
  created.

  Usually this would have come from Darrick, and we had intended that it
  would come that route. Between the holidays and various things which
  Darrick needed to work on, he asked if I could send things directly.

  There weren't any other iomap patches pending for this release, which
  probably also played a role"

Pull iomap updates from Matthew Wilcox:
 "Convert xfs/iomap to use folios.

  This should be all that is needed for XFS to use large folios. There
  is no code in this pull request to create large folios, but no
  additional changes should be needed to XFS or iomap once they are
  created.

  Usually this would have come from Darrick, and we had intended that it
  would come that route. Between the holidays and various things which
  Darrick needed to work on, he asked if I could send things directly.

  There weren't any other iomap patches pending for this release, which
  probably also played a role"

This is a thin wrapper around bio_add_page().  The main advantage here
is the documentation that folios larger than 2GiB are not supported.
It's not currently possible to allocate folios that large, but if it
ever becomes possible, this function will fail gracefully instead of
doing I/O to the wrong bytes.

Pointless to maintain a head/tail for the list, as we never need to
access the tail. Entries are always LIFO for cache hotness reasons.

Nobody cares about iov iterators state if we return -EIOCBQUEUED, so as
the we now have __blkdev_direct_IO_async(), which gets pages only once,
we can skip expensive iov_iter_advance(). It's around 1-2% of all CPU
spent.

Combine bio_iov_bvec_set() and bio_iov_bvec_set_append() and let the
caller to do iov_iter_advance(). Also get rid of __bio_iov_bvec_set(),
which was duplicated in the final binary, and replace a weird
iov_iter_truncate() of a temporal iter copy with min() better reflecting
the intention.
