Dan reports the following smatch detected the following:

  block/blk-cgroup.c:1863 blkcg_schedule_throttle() warn: sleeping in atomic context

caused by blkcg_schedule_throttle() calling blk_put_queue() in an
non-sleepable context.

blk_put_queue() acquired might_sleep() in 63f93fd6fa57 ("block: mark
blk_put_queue as potentially blocking") which transferred the might_sleep()
from blk_free_queue().

blk_free_queue() acquired might_sleep() in e8c7d14ac6c3 ("block: revert back
to synchronous request_queue removal") while turning request_queue removal
synchronous. However, this isn't necessary as nothing in the free path
actually requires sleeping.

It's pretty unusual to require a sleeping context in a put operation and
it's not needed in the first place. Let's drop it.

<title>block: fix use-after-free of q-&gt;q_usage_counter</title>

For blk-mq, queue release handler is usually called after
blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait() returns. However, the
q_usage_counter-&gt;release() handler may not be run yet at that time, so
this can cause a use-after-free.

Fix the issue by moving percpu_ref_exit() into blk_free_queue_rcu().
Since -&gt;release() is called with rcu read lock held, it is agreed that
the race should be covered in caller per discussion from the two links.

We can't just say that the last reference release may block, as any
reference dropped could be the last one.  So move the might_sleep() from
blk_free_queue to blk_put_queue and update the documentation.

The kobject embedded into the request_queue is used for the queue
directory in sysfs, but that is a child of the gendisks directory and is
intimately tied to it.  Move this kobject to the gendisk and use a
refcount_t in the request_queue for the actual request_queue refcounting
that is completely unrelated to the device model.

Device mappers had always been getting the default 511 dma mask, but
the underlying device might have a larger alignment requirement. Since
this value is used to determine alloweable direct-io alignment, this
needs to be a stackable limit.

All I/O submissions have fairly similar latencies, and a tagset-wide

There are two places in the block layer at the moment where
blk_mq_plug() helper could be used instead of directly accessing the
plug from struct current. In both these cases, directly accessing the plug
should not have any consequences for zoned devices.

Make the intent explicit by adding comments instead of introducing unwanted
checks with blk_mq_plug() helper.[1]
