        newly created large raid5, with some clean up patches for bdev
        inflight counters

 - Clean up brd, getting rid of atomic kmaps and bvec poking

 - Add loop driver specifically for zoned IO testing

 - Eliminate blk-rq-qos calls with a static key, if not enabled

 - Remove block layer bouncing support, which in turn means we can
   remove the per-node bounce stat as well

 - Improve blk-throttle support

 - Improve delay support for blk-throttle

 - Improve brd discard support

 - Unify IO scheduler switching. This should also fix a bunch of lockdep
   warnings we've been seeing, after enabling lockdep support for queue
   freezing/unfreezeing

 - Add support for block write streams via FDP (flexible data placement)
   on NVMe

 - Add a bunch of block helpers, facilitating the removal of a bunch of
   duplicated boilerplate code

 - Remove obsolete BLK_MQ pci and virtio Kconfig options

 - Add atomic/untorn write support to blktrace

 - Various little cleanups and fixes

<title>block: remove the same_page output argument to bvec_try_merge_page</title>

bvec_try_merge_page currently returns if the added page fragment is
within the same page as the last page in the last current bio_vec.

This information is used by __bio_iov_iter_get_pages so that we always
have a single folio pin per page even when the page is split over
multiple __bio_iov_iter_get_pages calls.

Threading this through the entire lowlevel add page to bio logic is
annoying and inefficient and leads to less code sharing than otherwise
possible.  Instead add code to __bio_iov_iter_get_pages that checks if
the bio_vecs did not change and thus a merge into the last segment must
have happened, and if there is an offset into the page for the currently
added fragment, because if yes we must have already had a previous
fragment of the same page in the last bio_vec.  While this is still a bit
ugly, it keeps the logic in the one place that needs it and allows for
more code sharing.

<title>scsi: sd_zbc: block: Respect bio vector limits for REPORT ZONES buffer</title>

<id>e8007fad5457ea547ca63bb011fdb03213571c7e</id>
<content type='text'>
The REPORT ZONES buffer size is currently limited by the HBA's maximum
segment count to ensure the buffer can be mapped. However, the block
layer further limits the number of iovec entries to 1024 when allocating
a bio.

To avoid allocation of buffers too large to be mapped, further restrict
the maximum buffer size to BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.

Replace the UIO_MAXIOV symbolic name with the more contextually
appropriate BIO_MAX_INLINE_VECS.

vmalloc addresses from the underlying pages and another one wrapping
it for the simple case where all data fits into a single bio.

Add a helper to perform synchronous I/O on a kernel direct map range.
Currently this is implemented in various places in usually not very
efficient ways, so provide a generic helper instead.

For now only the _nofail variant is provided as that is what all the

&gt;4GB folio is possible on some ARCHs, such as aarch64, 16GB hugepage
is supported, then 'offset' of folio can't be held in 'unsigned int',
cause warning in bio_add_folio_nofail() and IO failure.

Fix it by adjusting 'page' &amp; trimming 'offset' so that `-&gt;bi_offset` won't
be overflow, and folio can be added to bio successfully.

<title>block: split struct bio_integrity_payload</title>
<updated>2025-03-03T18:17:52+00:00</updated>

<id>105ca2a2c2ff2c8df0e334d6913d62eec1973dd3</id>
<content type='text'>
Many of the fields in struct bio_integrity_payload are only needed for
the default integrity buffer in the block layer, and the variable
sized array at the end of the structure makes it very hard to embed
into caller allocated structures.

Reduce struct bio_integrity_payload to the minimal structure needed in
common code and create two separate containing structures for the
automatically generated payload and the caller allocated payload.
The latter is a simple wrapper for struct bio_integrity_payload and
the bvecs, while the former contains the additional fields moved out
of struct bio_integrity_payload.

Always use a dedicated mempool for automatic integrity metadata
instead of depending on bio_set that is submitter controlled and thus
often doesn't have the mempool initialized and stop using mempools for
the submitter buffers as they aren't in the NOIO I/O submission path
where we need to guarantee forward progress.
