[ Upstream commit 59e25ef2b413c72da6686d431e7759302cfccafa ]

blk_mq_{add,del}_queue_tag_set() functions add and remove queues from
tagset, the functions make sure that tagset and queues are marked as
shared when two or more queues are attached to the same tagset.
Initially a tagset starts as unshared and when the number of added
queues reaches two, blk_mq_add_queue_tag_set() marks it as shared along
with all the queues attached to it. When the number of attached queues
drops to 1 blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set() need to mark both the tagset and
the remaining queues as unshared.

Both functions need to freeze current queues in tagset before setting on
unsetting BLK_MQ_F_TAG_QUEUE_SHARED flag. While doing so, both functions
hold set-&gt;tag_list_lock mutex, which makes sense as we do not want
queues to be added or deleted in the process. This used to work fine
until commit 98d81f0df70c ("nvme: use blk_mq_[un]quiesce_tagset")
made the nvme driver quiesce tagset instead of quiscing individual
queues. blk_mq_quiesce_tagset() does the job and quiesce the queues in
set-&gt;tag_list while holding set-&gt;tag_list_lock also.

This results in deadlock between two threads with these stacktraces:

The top stacktrace is showing nvme_timeout() called to handle nvme
command timeout. timeout handler is trying to disable the controller and
as a first step, it needs to blk_mq_quiesce_tagset() to tell blk-mq not
to call queue callback handlers. The thread is stuck waiting for
set-&gt;tag_list_lock as it tries to walk the queues in set-&gt;tag_list.

The lock is held by the second thread in the bottom stack which is
waiting for one of queues to be frozen. The queue usage counter will
drop to zero after nvme_timeout() finishes, and this will not happen
because the thread will wait for this mutex forever.

Given that [un]quiescing queue is an operation that does not need to
sleep, update blk_mq_[un]quiesce_tagset() to use RCU instead of taking
set-&gt;tag_list_lock, update blk_mq_{add,del}_queue_tag_set() to use RCU
safe list operations. Also, delete INIT_LIST_HEAD(&amp;q-&gt;tag_set_list)
in blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set() because we can not re-initialize it while
the list is being traversed under RCU. The deleted queue will not be
added/deleted to/from a tagset and it will be freed in blk_free_queue()
after the end of RCU grace period.

[ Upstream commit f7e3f852a42d7cd8f1af2c330d9d153e30c8adcf ]

Move the fatal signal check before bio_alloc() to prevent a memory
leak when BLKDEV_ZERO_KILLABLE is set and a fatal signal is pending.

Previously, the bio was allocated before checking for a fatal signal.
If a signal was pending, the code would break out of the loop without
freeing or chaining the just-allocated bio, causing a memory leak.

This matches the pattern already used in __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes()
where the signal check precedes the allocation.

During system suspend, wakeup capable IRQs for block device can be
delayed, which can cause blk_mq_hctx_notify_offline() to hang
indefinitely while waiting for pending request to complete.
Skip the request waiting loop and abort suspend when wakeup events are

[ Upstream commit f76581f9f1d29e32e120b0242974ba266e79de58 ]

Commit d61fcfa4bb18 ("blk-throttle: choose a small throtl_slice for SSD")
introduced device type specific throttle slices if BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW
was enabled. Commit bf20ab538c81 ("blk-throttle: remove
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW") removed support for BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW,
but left the device type specific throttle slices in place. This
effectively changed throttling behavior on systems with SSD which now use
a different and non-configurable slice time compared to non-SSD devices.
Practical impact is that throughput tests with low configured throttle
values (65536 bps) experience less than expected throughput on SSDs,
presumably due to rounding errors associated with the small throttle slice
time used for those devices. The same tests pass when setting the throttle
values to 65536 * 4 = 262144 bps.

The original code sets the throttle slice time to DFL_THROTL_SLICE_HD if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW is disabled. Restore that code to fix the
problem. With that, DFL_THROTL_SLICE_SSD is no longer necessary. Revert to
the original code and re-introduce DFL_THROTL_SLICE to replace both
DFL_THROTL_SLICE_HD and DFL_THROTL_SLICE_SSD. This effectively reverts
commit d61fcfa4bb18 ("blk-throttle: choose a small throtl_slice for SSD").

While at it, also remove MAX_THROTL_SLICE since it is not used anymore.

Commit c807ab520fc3 ("block/mq-deadline: Add I/O priority support")
modified the behavior of request flag BLK_MQ_INSERT_AT_HEAD from
dispatching a request before other requests into dispatching a request
before other requests with the same I/O priority. This is not correct since
BLK_MQ_INSERT_AT_HEAD is used when requeuing requests and also when a flush
request is inserted.  Both types of requests should be dispatched as soon
as possible. Hence, make the mq-deadline I/O scheduler again ignore the I/O
priority for BLK_MQ_INSERT_AT_HEAD requests.

as possible. Hence, make the mq-deadline I/O scheduler again ignore the I/O
priority for BLK_MQ_INSERT_AT_HEAD requests.

Chain exists of:
  &amp;q-&gt;sysfs_lock --&gt; &amp;q-&gt;rq_qos_mutex --&gt; &amp;q-&gt;q_usage_counter(queue)#3

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&amp;q-&gt;q_usage_counter(queue)#3);
                               lock(&amp;q-&gt;rq_qos_mutex);

  lock(&amp;q-&gt;sysfs_lock);

Root cause is that queue_usage_counter is grabbed with rq_qos_mutex
held in blkg_conf_prep(), while queue should be freezed before
rq_qos_mutex from other context.

The blk_queue_enter() from blkg_conf_prep() is used to protect against
policy deactivation, which is already protected with blkcg_mutex, hence
convert blk_queue_enter() to blkcg_mutex to fix this problem. Meanwhile,
consider that blkcg_mutex is held after queue is freezed from policy
deactivation, also convert blkg_alloc() to use GFP_NOIO.

<title>block: require LBA dma_alignment when using PI</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 4c8cf6bd28d6fea23819f082ddc8063fd6fa963a ]

The block layer PI generation / verification code expects the bio_vecs
to have at least LBA size (or more correctly integrity internal)
granularity.  With the direct I/O alignment relaxation in 2022, user
space can now feed bios with less alignment than that, leading to
scribbling outside the PI buffers.  Apparently this wasn't noticed so far
because none of the tests generate such buffers, but since 851c4c96db00
("xfs: implement XFS_IOC_DIOINFO in terms of vfs_getattr"), xfstests
generic/013 by default generates such I/O now that the relaxed alignment
is advertised by the XFS_IOC_DIOINFO ioctl.

Fix this by increasing the required alignment when using PI, although
handling arbitrary alignment in the long run would be even nicer.

[ Upstream commit 4c8cf6bd28d6fea23819f082ddc8063fd6fa963a ]

The block layer PI generation / verification code expects the bio_vecs
to have at least LBA size (or more correctly integrity internal)
granularity.  With the direct I/O alignment relaxation in 2022, user
space can now feed bios with less alignment than that, leading to
scribbling outside the PI buffers.  Apparently this wasn't noticed so far
because none of the tests generate such buffers, but since 851c4c96db00
("xfs: implement XFS_IOC_DIOINFO in terms of vfs_getattr"), xfstests
generic/013 by default generates such I/O now that the relaxed alignment
is advertised by the XFS_IOC_DIOINFO ioctl.

Fix this by increasing the required alignment when using PI, although
handling arbitrary alignment in the long run would be even nicer.
