commit b9684a71fca793213378dd410cd11675d973eaa1 upstream.

Historically we did distinguish between a flag that surpressed partition
scanning, and a combinations of the minors variable and another flag if
any partitions were supported.  This was generally confusing and doesn't
make much sense, but some corner case uses of the loop driver actually
do want to support manually added partitions on a device that does not
actively scan for partitions.  To make things worsee the loop driver
also wants to dynamically toggle the scanning for partitions on a live
gendisk, which makes the disk-&gt;flags updates non-atomic.

Introduce a new GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN bit in disk-&gt;state that disables
just scanning for partitions, and toggle that instead of GENHD_FL_NO_PART
in the loop driver.

Fixes: 1ebe2e5f9d68 ("block: remove GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT")

Flush or passthrough requests are not accounted as normal IO in completion.
To reflect iostat for slow IO, io_ticks is updated when stat show called

It may cause inconsistent io_ticks calculation result.

So do not account non-passthrough request when check inflight.

<title>block: make bioset_exit() fully resilient against being called twice</title>

[ 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.

[ Upstream commit 5d05426e2d5fd7df8afc866b78c36b37b00188b7 ]

blk_mq_run_hw_queues() could be run when there isn't queued request and
after queue is cleaned up, at that time tagset is freed, because tagset
lifetime is covered by driver, and often freed after blk_cleanup_queue()
returns.

So don't touch -&gt;tagset for figuring out current default hctx by the mapping
built in request queue, so use-after-free on tagset can be avoided. Meantime
this way should be fast than retrieving mapping from tagset.

commit 22b106e5355d6e7a9c3b5cb5ed4ef22ae585ea94 upstream.

Commit d92c370a16cb ("block: really clone the block cgroup in
bio_clone_blkg_association") changed bio_clone_blkg_association() to
just clone bio-&gt;bi_blkg reference from source to destination bio. This
is however wrong if the source and destination bios are against
different block devices because struct blkcg_gq is different for each
bdev-blkcg pair. This will result in IOs being accounted (and throttled
as a result) multiple times against the same device (src bdev) while
throttling of the other device (dst bdev) is ignored. In case of BFQ the
inconsistency can even result in crashes in bfq_bic_update_cgroup().
Fix the problem by looking up correct blkcg_gq for the cloned bio.

<title>blk-iolatency: Fix inflight count imbalances and IO hangs on offline</title>

<id>968f7a239c590454ffba79c126fbe0e963a0ba78</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 8a177a36da6c54c98b8685d4f914cb3637d53c0d upstream.

iolatency needs to track the number of inflight IOs per cgroup. As this
tracking can be expensive, it is disabled when no cgroup has iolatency
configured for the device. To ensure that the inflight counters stay
balanced, iolatency_set_limit() freezes the request_queue while manipulating
the enabled counter, which ensures that no IO is in flight and thus all
counters are zero.

Unfortunately, iolatency_set_limit() isn't the only place where the enabled
counter is manipulated. iolatency_pd_offline() can also dec the counter and
trigger disabling. As this disabling happens without freezing the q, this
can easily happen while some IOs are in flight and thus leak the counts.

This can be easily demonstrated by turning on iolatency on an one empty
cgroup while IOs are in flight in other cgroups and then removing the
cgroup. Note that iolatency shouldn't have been enabled elsewhere in the
system to ensure that removing the cgroup disables iolatency for the whole
device.

The following keeps flipping on and off iolatency on sda:

  echo +io &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
  while true; do
      mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/test
      echo '8:0 target=100000' &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/test/io.latency
      sleep 1
      rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
      sleep 1
  done

and there's concurrent fio generating direct rand reads:

  fio --name test --filename=/dev/sda --direct=1 --rw=randread \
      --runtime=600 --time_based --iodepth=256 --numjobs=4 --bs=4k

while monitoring with the following drgn script:

  while True:
    for css in css_for_each_descendant_pre(prog['blkcg_root'].css.address_of_()):
        for pos in hlist_for_each(container_of(css, 'struct blkcg', 'css').blkg_list):
            blkg = container_of(pos, 'struct blkcg_gq', 'blkcg_node')
            pd = blkg.pd[prog['blkcg_policy_iolatency'].plid]
            if pd.value_() == 0:
                continue
            iolat = container_of(pd, 'struct iolatency_grp', 'pd')
            inflight = iolat.rq_wait.inflight.counter.value_()
            if inflight:
                print(f'inflight={inflight} {disk_name(blkg.q.disk).decode("utf-8")} '
                      f'{cgroup_path(css.cgroup).decode("utf-8")}')
    time.sleep(1)

The monitoring output looks like the following:

  inflight=1 sda /user.slice
  inflight=1 sda /user.slice
  ...
  inflight=14 sda /user.slice
  inflight=13 sda /user.slice
  inflight=17 sda /user.slice
  inflight=15 sda /user.slice
  inflight=18 sda /user.slice
  inflight=17 sda /user.slice
  inflight=20 sda /user.slice
  inflight=19 sda /user.slice &lt;- fio stopped, inflight stuck at 19
  inflight=19 sda /user.slice
  inflight=19 sda /user.slice

If a cgroup with stuck inflight ends up getting throttled, the throttled IOs
will never get issued as there's no completion event to wake it up leading
to an indefinite hang.

This patch fixes the bug by unifying enable handling into a work item which
is automatically kicked off from iolatency_set_min_lat_nsec() which is
called from both iolatency_set_limit() and iolatency_pd_offline() paths.
Punting to a work item is necessary as iolatency_pd_offline() is called
under spinlocks while freezing a request_queue requires a sleepable context.

This also simplifies the code reducing LOC sans the comments and avoids the
unnecessary freezes which were happening whenever a cgroup's latency target
is newly set or cleared.

commit 8a177a36da6c54c98b8685d4f914cb3637d53c0d upstream.

iolatency needs to track the number of inflight IOs per cgroup. As this
tracking can be expensive, it is disabled when no cgroup has iolatency
configured for the device. To ensure that the inflight counters stay
balanced, iolatency_set_limit() freezes the request_queue while manipulating
the enabled counter, which ensures that no IO is in flight and thus all
counters are zero.

Unfortunately, iolatency_set_limit() isn't the only place where the enabled
counter is manipulated. iolatency_pd_offline() can also dec the counter and
trigger disabling. As this disabling happens without freezing the q, this
can easily happen while some IOs are in flight and thus leak the counts.

This can be easily demonstrated by turning on iolatency on an one empty
cgroup while IOs are in flight in other cgroups and then removing the
cgroup. Note that iolatency shouldn't have been enabled elsewhere in the
system to ensure that removing the cgroup disables iolatency for the whole
device.

The following keeps flipping on and off iolatency on sda:

  echo +io &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
  while true; do
      mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/test
      echo '8:0 target=100000' &gt; /sys/fs/cgroup/test/io.latency
      sleep 1
      rmdir /sys/fs/cgroup/test
      sleep 1
  done

and there's concurrent fio generating direct rand reads:

  fio --name test --filename=/dev/sda --direct=1 --rw=randread \
      --runtime=600 --time_based --iodepth=256 --numjobs=4 --bs=4k

while monitoring with the following drgn script:

  while True:
    for css in css_for_each_descendant_pre(prog['blkcg_root'].css.address_of_()):
        for pos in hlist_for_each(container_of(css, 'struct blkcg', 'css').blkg_list):
            blkg = container_of(pos, 'struct blkcg_gq', 'blkcg_node')
            pd = blkg.pd[prog['blkcg_policy_iolatency'].plid]
            if pd.value_() == 0:
                continue
            iolat = container_of(pd, 'struct iolatency_grp', 'pd')
            inflight = iolat.rq_wait.inflight.counter.value_()
            if inflight:
                print(f'inflight={inflight} {disk_name(blkg.q.disk).decode("utf-8")} '
                      f'{cgroup_path(css.cgroup).decode("utf-8")}')
    time.sleep(1)

The monitoring output looks like the following:

  inflight=1 sda /user.slice
  inflight=1 sda /user.slice
  ...
  inflight=14 sda /user.slice
  inflight=13 sda /user.slice
  inflight=17 sda /user.slice
  inflight=15 sda /user.slice
  inflight=18 sda /user.slice
  inflight=17 sda /user.slice
  inflight=20 sda /user.slice
  inflight=19 sda /user.slice &lt;- fio stopped, inflight stuck at 19
  inflight=19 sda /user.slice
  inflight=19 sda /user.slice

If a cgroup with stuck inflight ends up getting throttled, the throttled IOs
will never get issued as there's no completion event to wake it up leading
to an indefinite hang.

commit 41e46b3c2aa24f755b2ae9ec4ce931ba5f0d8532 upstream.

When being read, a sysfs attribute is already protected against removal
with the kobject node active reference counter. As a result, in
blk_ia_range_sysfs_show(), there is no need to take the queue sysfs
lock when reading the value of a range attribute. Using the queue sysfs
lock in this function creates a potential deadlock situation with the
disk removal, something that a lockdep signals with a splat when the
device is removed:

[  760.703551]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[  760.703551]
[  760.703554]        CPU0                    CPU1
[  760.703556]        ----                    ----
[  760.703558]   lock(&amp;q-&gt;sysfs_lock);
[  760.703565]                                lock(kn-&gt;active#385);
[  760.703573]                                lock(&amp;q-&gt;sysfs_lock);
[  760.703579]   lock(kn-&gt;active#385);
[  760.703587]
[  760.703587]  *** DEADLOCK ***

Solve this by removing the mutex_lock()/mutex_unlock() calls from
blk_ia_range_sysfs_show().

commit 075a53b78b815301f8d3dd1ee2cd99554e34f0dd upstream.

Bios queued into BFQ IO scheduler can be associated with a cgroup that
was already offlined. This may then cause insertion of this bfq_group
into a service tree. But this bfq_group will get freed as soon as last
bio associated with it is completed leading to use after free issues for
service tree users. Fix the problem by making sure we always operate on
online bfq_group. If the bfq_group associated with the bio is not
online, we pick the first online parent.
