commit 2a34c0872adf252f23a6fef2d051a169ac796cef upstream.

hctx-&gt;tags has to be set as NULL in case that it is to be unmapped
no matter if set-&gt;tags[hctx-&gt;queue_num] is NULL or not in blk_mq_map_swqueue()
because shared tags can be freed already from another request queue.

The same situation has to be considered during handling CPU online too.
Unmapped hw queue can be remapped after CPU topo is changed, so we need
to allocate tags for the hw queue in blk_mq_map_swqueue(). Then tags
allocation for hw queue can be removed in hctx cpu online notifier, and it
is reasonable to do that after mapping is updated.

commit f054b56c951bf1731ba7314a4c7f1cc0b2977cc9 upstream.

Firstly during CPU hotplug, even queue is freezed, timeout
handler still may come and access hctx-&gt;tags, which may cause
use after free, so this patch deactivates timeout handler
inside CPU hotplug notifier.

Secondly, tags can be shared by more than one queues, so we
have to check if the hctx has been unmapped, otherwise
still use-after-free on tags can be triggered.

<title>block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.</title>

commit 6cd18e711dd8075da9d78cfc1239f912ff28968a upstream.

Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
	blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk-&gt;minors);
call in del_gendisk().

Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call.  In particular, the 'bdi'.

Since:
commit c4db59d31e39ea067c32163ac961e9c80198fd37
Author: Christoph Hellwig &lt;hch@lst.de&gt;
    fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info

moved the
   device_unregister(bdi-&gt;dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().

The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains

&gt; [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
&gt; [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'

We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.

Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk().  As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

<title>blk-mq: initialize 'struct request' and associated data to zero</title>

Jan Engelhardt reports a strange oops with an invalid -&gt;sense_buffer
pointer in scsi_init_cmd_errh() with the blk-mq code.

The sense_buffer pointer should have been initialized by the call to
scsi_init_request() from blk_mq_init_rq_map(), but there seems to be
some non-repeatable memory corruptor.

This patch makes sure we initialize the whole struct request allocation
(and the associated 'struct scsi_cmnd' for the SCSI case) to zero, by
using __GFP_ZERO in the allocation.  The old code initialized a couple
of individual fields, leaving the rest undefined (although many of them
are then initialized in later phases, like blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() etc.

It's not entirely clear why this matters, but it's the rigth thing to do
regardless, and with 4.0 imminent this is the defensive "let's just make
sure everything is initialized properly" patch.

<title>block: fix blk_stack_limits() regression due to lcm() change</title>

<id>e9637415a92cf25ad800b7fdeddcd30cce7b44ab</id>
<content type='text'>
Linux 3.19 commit 69c953c ("lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n")
caused blk_stack_limits() to not properly stack queue_limits for stacked
devices (e.g. DM).

Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching
blk_stack_limits() over to using it.

DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level
queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits
using blk_stack_limits().  In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt)
blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0.  With commit
69c953c, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of
the underlying devices' io_opt.

Test:
$ modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=10 num_tgts=1 opt_blks=1536
$ cat /sys/block/sde/queue/optimal_io_size
786432
$ dmsetup create node --table "0 100 linear /dev/sde 0"

Before this fix:
$ cat /sys/block/dm-5/queue/optimal_io_size
0

After this fix:
$ cat /sys/block/dm-5/queue/optimal_io_size
786432

When allocating from the reserved tags pool, bt_get() is called with
a NULL hctx.  If all tags are in use, the hw queue is kicked to push
out any pending IO, potentially freeing tags, and tag allocation is
retried.  The problem is that blk_mq_run_hw_queue() doesn't check for
a NULL hctx.  So we avoid it with a simple NULL hctx test.

Tested by hammering mtip32xx with concurrent smartctl/hdparm.

<title>blk-throttle: check stats_cpu before reading it from sysfs</title>

When reading blkio.throttle.io_serviced in a recently created blkio
cgroup, it's possible to race against the creation of a throttle policy,
which delays the allocation of stats_cpu.

Like other functions in the throttle code, just checking for a NULL
stats_cpu prevents the following oops caused by that race.

When reading blkio.throttle.io_serviced in a recently created blkio
cgroup, it's possible to race against the creation of a throttle policy,
which delays the allocation of stats_cpu.

Like other functions in the throttle code, just checking for a NULL
stats_cpu prevents the following oops caused by that race.

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains:

   - The 4k/partition fixes for brd from Boaz/Matthew.

   - A few xen front/back block fixes from David Vrabel and Roger Pau
     Monne.

   - Floppy changes from Takashi, cleaning the device file creation.

   - Switching libata to use the new blk-mq tagging policy, removing
     code (and a suboptimal implementation) from libata.  This will
     throw you a merge conflict, since a bug in the original libata
     tagging code was fixed since this code was branched.  Trivial.
     From Shaohua.

   - Conversion of loop to blk-mq, from Ming Lei.

   - Cleanup of the io_schedule() handling in bsg from Peter Zijlstra.
     He claims it improves on unreadable code, which will cost him a
     beer.

   - Maintainer update or NDB, now handled by Markus Pargmann.

   - NVMe:
        - Optimization from me that avoids a kmalloc/kfree per IO for
          smaller (&lt;= 8KB) IO. This cuts about 1% of high IOPS CPU
          overhead.
        - Removal of (now) dead RCU code, a relic from before NVMe was
          converted to blk-mq"

* 'for-3.20/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  xen-blkback: default to X86_32 ABI on x86
  xen-blkfront: fix accounting of reqs when migrating
  xen-blkback,xen-blkfront: add myself as maintainer
  block: Simplify bsg complete all
  floppy: Avoid manual call of device_create_file()
  NVMe: avoid kmalloc/kfree for smaller IO
  MAINTAINERS: Update NBD maintainer
