commit 327ea4adcfa37194739f1ec7c70568944d292281 upstream.

Avoid that complaints similar to the following appear in the kernel log
if the number of zones is sufficiently large:

  fio: page allocation failure: order:9, mode:0x140c0c0(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_COMP|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null)

<title>block: do not use interruptible wait anywhere</title>

commit 1dc3039bc87ae7d19a990c3ee71cfd8a9068f428 upstream.

When blk_queue_enter() waits for a queue to unfreeze, or unset the
PREEMPT_ONLY flag, do not allow it to be interrupted by a signal.

The PREEMPT_ONLY flag was introduced later in commit 3a0a529971ec
("block, scsi: Make SCSI quiesce and resume work reliably").  Note the SCSI
device is resumed asynchronously, i.e. after un-freezing userspace tasks.

So that commit exposed the bug as a regression in v4.15.  A mysterious
SIGBUS (or -EIO) sometimes happened during the time the device was being
resumed.  Most frequently, there was no kernel log message, and we saw Xorg
or Xwayland killed by SIGBUS.[1]

[1] E.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1553979

Without this fix, I get an IO error in this test:

# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null iflag=direct &amp; \
  while killall -SIGUSR1 dd; do sleep 0.1; done &amp; \
  echo mem &gt; /sys/power/state ; \
  sleep 5; killall dd  # stop after 5 seconds

The interruptible wait was added to blk_queue_enter in
commit 3ef28e83ab15 ("block: generic request_queue reference counting").
Before then, the interruptible wait was only in blk-mq, but I don't think
it could ever have been correct.

commit 72961c4e6082be79825265d9193272b8a1634dec upstream.

Even if we don't have an IO context attached to a request, we still
need to clear the priv[0..1] pointers, as they could be pointing
to previously used bic/bfqq structures. If we don't do so, we'll
either corrupt memory on dispatching a request, or cause an
imbalance in counters.

Inspired by a fix from Kees.

commit f4560231ec42092c6662acccabb28c6cac9f5dfb upstream.

rq-&gt;gstate and rq-&gt;aborted_gstate both are zero before rqs are
allocated. If we have a small timeout, when the timer fires,
there could be rqs that are never allocated, and also there could
be rq that has been allocated but not initialized and started. At
the moment, the rq-&gt;gstate and rq-&gt;aborted_gstate both are 0, thus
the blk_mq_terminate_expired will identify the rq is timed out and
invoke .timeout early.

For scsi, this will cause scsi_times_out to be invoked before the
scsi_cmnd is not initialized, scsi_cmnd-&gt;device is still NULL at
the moment, then we will get crash.

commit bffa9909a6b48d8ca3398dec601bc9162a4020c4 upstream.

From commit 4b855ad37194 ("blk-mq: Create hctx for each present CPU),
blk-mq doesn't remap queue after CPU topo is changed, that said when
some of these offline CPUs become online, they are still mapped to
hctx 0, then hctx 0 may become the bottleneck of IO dispatch and
completion.

This patch sets up the mapping from the beginning, and aligns to
queue mapping for PCI device (blk_mq_pci_map_queues()).

<title>blk-mq: order getting budget and driver tag</title>

commit 0bca799b92807ee9be0890690f5dde7d8c6a8e25 upstream.

This patch orders getting budget and driver tag by making sure to acquire
driver tag after budget is got, this way can help to avoid the following
race:

1) before dispatch request from scheduler queue, get one budget first, then
dequeue a request, call it request A.

2) in another IO path for dispatching request B which is from hctx-&gt;dispatch,
driver tag is got, then try to get budget in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(),
unfortunately the budget is held by request A.

3) meantime blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() is called for dispatching request
A, and try to get driver tag first, unfortunately no driver tag is
available because the driver tag is held by request B

4) both two IO pathes can't move on, and IO stall is caused.

This issue can be observed when running dbench on USB storage.

This patch fixes this issue by always getting budget before getting
driver tag.

<title>blk-mq: Directly schedule q-&gt;timeout_work when aborting a request</title>

commit bc6d65e6dc89c3b7ff78e4ad797117c122ffde8e upstream.

Request abortion is performed by overriding deadline to now and
scheduling timeout handling immediately.  For the latter part, the
code was using mod_timer(timeout, 0) which can't guarantee that the
timer runs afterwards.  Let's schedule the underlying work item
directly instead.

This fixes the hangs during probing reported by Sitsofe but it isn't
yet clear to me how the failure can happen reliably if it's just the
above described race condition.

<title>block: Change a rcu_read_{lock,unlock}_sched() pair into rcu_read_{lock,unlock}()</title>

commit 818e0fa293ca836eba515615c64680ea916fd7cd upstream.

scsi_device_quiesce() uses synchronize_rcu() to guarantee that the
effect of blk_set_preempt_only() will be visible for percpu_ref_tryget()
calls that occur after the queue unfreeze by using the approach
explained in https://lwn.net/Articles/573497/. The rcu read lock and
unlock calls in blk_queue_enter() form a pair with the synchronize_rcu()
call in scsi_device_quiesce(). Both scsi_device_quiesce() and
blk_queue_enter() must either use regular RCU or RCU-sched.
Since neither the RCU-protected code in blk_queue_enter() nor
blk_queue_usage_counter_release() sleeps, regular RCU protection
is sufficient. Note: scsi_device_quiesce() does not have to be
modified since it already uses synchronize_rcu().

commit bd5c4facf59648581d2f1692dad7b107bf429954 upstream.

I'm getting a slab named "biovec-(1&lt;&lt;(21-12))". It is caused by unintended
expansion of the macro BIO_MAX_PAGES. This patch renames it to biovec-max.
