commit fef912bf860e8e7e48a2bfb978a356bba743a8b7 upstream.

Update device_add_disk() to take an 'groups' argument so that
individual drivers can register a device with additional sysfs
attributes.
This avoids race condition the driver would otherwise have if these
groups were to be created with sysfs_add_groups().

<title>blk-settings: align max_sectors on "logical_block_size" boundary</title>

commit 97f433c3601a24d3513d06f575a389a2ca4e11e4 upstream.

We get I/O errors when we run md-raid1 on the top of dm-integrity on the
top of ramdisk.
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xff00, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xff00, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xffff, 0x1
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xffff, 0x1
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8048, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8147, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8246, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8345, 0xbb

The ramdisk device has logical_block_size 512 and max_sectors 255. The
dm-integrity device uses logical_block_size 4096 and it doesn't affect the
"max_sectors" value - thus, it inherits 255 from the ramdisk. So, we have
a device with max_sectors not aligned on logical_block_size.

The md-raid device sees that the underlying leg has max_sectors 255 and it
will split the bios on 255-sector boundary, making the bios unaligned on
logical_block_size.

In order to fix the bug, we round down max_sectors to logical_block_size.

commit 41e76c85660c022c6bf5713bfb6c21e64a487cec upstream.

bfq_setup_cooperator() uses bfqd-&gt;in_serv_last_pos so detect whether it
makes sense to merge current bfq queue with the in-service queue.
However if the in-service queue is freshly scheduled and didn't dispatch
any requests yet, bfqd-&gt;in_serv_last_pos is stale and contains value
from the previously scheduled bfq queue which can thus result in a bogus
decision that the two queues should be merged. This bug can be observed
for example with the following fio jobfile:

[global]
direct=0
ioengine=sync
invalidate=1
size=1g
rw=read

[reader]
numjobs=4
directory=/mnt

where the 4 processes will end up in the one shared bfq queue although
they do IO to physically very distant files (for some reason I was able to
observe this only with slice_idle=1ms setting).

Fix the problem by invalidating bfqd-&gt;in_serv_last_pos when switching
in-service queue.

<title>block: don't release queue's sysfs lock during switching elevator</title>

commit b89f625e28d44552083f43752f62d8621ded0a04 upstream.

cecf5d87ff20 ("block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks") starts to
release &amp; acquire sysfs_lock before registering/un-registering elevator
queue during switching elevator for avoiding potential deadlock from
showing &amp; storing 'queue/iosched' attributes and removing elevator's
kobject.

Turns out there isn't such deadlock because 'q-&gt;sysfs_lock' isn't
required in .show &amp; .store of queue/iosched's attributes, and just
elevator's sysfs lock is acquired in elv_iosched_store() and
elv_iosched_show(). So it is safe to hold queue's sysfs lock when
registering/un-registering elevator queue.

The biggest issue is that commit cecf5d87ff20 assumes that concurrent
write on 'queue/scheduler' can't happen. However, this assumption isn't
true, because kernfs_fop_write() only guarantees that concurrent write
aren't called on the same open file, but the write could be from
different open on the file. So we can't release &amp; re-acquire queue's
sysfs lock during switching elevator, otherwise use-after-free on
elevator could be triggered.

Fixes the issue by not releasing queue's sysfs lock during switching
elevator.

cecf5d87ff20 ("block: split .sysfs_lock into two locks") starts to
release &amp; actuire sysfs_lock again during switching elevator. So it
isn't enough to prevent switching elevator from happening by simply
clearing QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with holding sysfs_lock, because
in-progress switch still can move on after re-acquiring the lock,
meantime the flag of QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED won't get checked.

Fixes this issue by checking 'q-&gt;elevator' directly &amp; locklessly after
q-&gt;kobj is removed in blk_unregister_queue(), this way is safe because
q-&gt;elevator can't be changed at that time.

commit cecf5d87ff2035127bb5a9ee054d0023a4a7cad3 upstream.

The kernfs built-in lock of 'kn-&gt;count' is held in sysfs .show/.store
path. Meantime, inside block's .show/.store callback, q-&gt;sysfs_lock is
required.

However, when mq &amp; iosched kobjects are removed via
blk_mq_unregister_dev() &amp; elv_unregister_queue(), q-&gt;sysfs_lock is held
too. This way causes AB-BA lock because the kernfs built-in lock of
'kn-count' is required inside kobject_del() too, see the lockdep warning[1].

On the other hand, it isn't necessary to acquire q-&gt;sysfs_lock for
both blk_mq_unregister_dev() &amp; elv_unregister_queue() because
clearing REGISTERED flag prevents storing to 'queue/scheduler'
from being happened. Also sysfs write(store) is exclusive, so no
necessary to hold the lock for elv_unregister_queue() when it is
called in switching elevator path.

So split .sysfs_lock into two: one is still named as .sysfs_lock for
covering sync .store, the other one is named as .sysfs_dir_lock
for covering kobjects and related status change.

sysfs itself can handle the race between add/remove kobjects and
showing/storing attributes under kobjects. For switching scheduler
via storing to 'queue/scheduler', we use the queue flag of
QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with .sysfs_lock for avoiding the race, then
we can avoid to hold .sysfs_lock during removing/adding kobjects.

commit cecf5d87ff2035127bb5a9ee054d0023a4a7cad3 upstream.

The kernfs built-in lock of 'kn-&gt;count' is held in sysfs .show/.store
path. Meantime, inside block's .show/.store callback, q-&gt;sysfs_lock is
required.

However, when mq &amp; iosched kobjects are removed via
blk_mq_unregister_dev() &amp; elv_unregister_queue(), q-&gt;sysfs_lock is held
too. This way causes AB-BA lock because the kernfs built-in lock of
'kn-count' is required inside kobject_del() too, see the lockdep warning[1].

On the other hand, it isn't necessary to acquire q-&gt;sysfs_lock for
both blk_mq_unregister_dev() &amp; elv_unregister_queue() because
clearing REGISTERED flag prevents storing to 'queue/scheduler'
from being happened. Also sysfs write(store) is exclusive, so no
necessary to hold the lock for elv_unregister_queue() when it is
called in switching elevator path.

So split .sysfs_lock into two: one is still named as .sysfs_lock for
covering sync .store, the other one is named as .sysfs_dir_lock
for covering kobjects and related status change.

sysfs itself can handle the race between add/remove kobjects and
showing/storing attributes under kobjects. For switching scheduler
via storing to 'queue/scheduler', we use the queue flag of
QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with .sysfs_lock for avoiding the race, then
we can avoid to hold .sysfs_lock during removing/adding kobjects.

[ Upstream commit 388c705b95f23f317fa43e6abf9ff07b583b721a ]

This reverts commit 6d4d273588378c65915acaf7b2ee74e9dd9c130a.

bfq.limit_depth passes word_depths[] as shallow_depth down to sbitmap core
sbitmap_get_shallow, which uses just the number to limit the scan depth of
each bitmap word, formula:
scan_percentage_for_each_word = shallow_depth / (1 &lt;&lt; sbimap-&gt;shift) * 100%

That means the comments's percentiles 50%, 75%, 18%, 37% of bfq are correct.
But after commit patch 'bfq: Fix computation of shallow depth', we use
sbitmap.depth instead, as a example in following case:

sbitmap.depth = 256, map_nr = 4, shift = 6; sbitmap_word.depth = 64.
The resulsts of computed bfqd-&gt;word_depths[] are {128, 192, 48, 96}, and
three of the numbers exceed core dirver's 'sbitmap_word.depth=64' limit
nothing.

and blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(). For the former caller, the kobject
isn't exposed to userspace yet. For the latter caller, hctx sysfs entries
and debugfs are un-registered before updating nr_hw_queues.

On the other hand, commit 2f8f1336a48b ("blk-mq: always free hctx after
request queue is freed") moves freeing hctx into queue's release
handler, so there won't be race with queue release path too.

So don't hold q-&gt;sysfs_lock in blk_mq_map_swqueue().

commit c48dac137a62a5d6fa1ef3fa445cbd9c43655a76 upstream.

The original comment says:

	q-&gt;sysfs_lock must be held to provide mutual exclusion between
	elevator_switch() and here.

Which is simply wrong. elevator_init_mq() is only called from
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue, which is always called before the request
queue is registered via blk_register_queue(), for dm-rq or normal rq
based driver. However, queue's kobject is only exposed and added to sysfs
in blk_register_queue(). So there isn't such race between elevator_switch()
and elevator_init_mq().

So avoid to hold q-&gt;sysfs_lock in elevator_init_mq().
