commit d9cf3bd531844ffbfe94b16e417037a16efc988d upstream.

__bio_iov_append_get_pages() doesn't put not appended pages on
bio_add_hw_page() failure, so potentially leaking them, fix it. Also, do
the same for __bio_iov_iter_get_pages(), even though it looks like it
can't be triggered by userspace in this case.

[ Upstream commit cc40b7225151f611ef837f6403cfaeadc7af214a ]

dun_bytes needs to be less than or equal to the IV size of the
encryption mode, not just less than or equal to BLK_CRYPTO_MAX_IV_SIZE.

Currently this doesn't matter since blk_crypto_init_key() is never
actually passed invalid values, but we might as well fix this.

[ Upstream commit 866663b7b52d2da267b28e12eed89ee781b8fed1 ]

When merging one bio to request, if they are discard IO and the queue
supports multi-range discard, we need to return ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE
because both block core and related drivers(nvme, virtio-blk) doesn't
handle mixed discard io merge(traditional IO merge together with
discard merge) well.

Fix the issue by returning ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE in this situation,
so both blk-mq and drivers just need to handle multi-range discard.

<title>blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO scenarios</title>

[ Upstream commit 4f1e9630afe6332de7286820fedd019f19eac057 ]

After patch 54efd50 (block: make generic_make_request handle
arbitrarily sized bios), the IO through io-throttle may be larger,
and these IOs may be further split into more small IOs. However,
IOPS throttle does not seem to be aware of this change, which
makes the calculation of IOPS of large IOs incomplete, resulting
in disk-side IOPS that does not meet expectations. Maybe we should
fix this problem.

We can reproduce it by set max_sectors_kb of disk to 128, set
blkio.write_iops_throttle to 100, run a dd instance inside blkio
and use iostat to watch IOPS:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct

As a result, without this change the average IOPS is 1995, with
this change the IOPS is 98.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:

 - Revert the mq-deadline priority handling, it's causing serious
   performance regressions. While experimental patches exists to fix
   this up, it's too late to do so now. Revert it and re-do it properly
   for 5.15 instead.

 - Fix a NULL vs IS_ERR() regression in this release (Dan)

 - Fix a mq-deadline accounting regression in this release (Bart)

 - Mark cryptoloop as deprecated. It's broken and dm-crypt fully
   supports it, and it's actively intefering with loop. Plan on removal
   for 5.16 (Christoph)

This reverts commit fb926032b3209300f9dc454a36b8299582ae545c.

Zhen reports that this commit slows down mq-deadline on a 128 thread
box, going from 258K IOPS to 170-180K. My testing shows that Optane
gen2 IOPS goes from 2.3M IOPS to 1.2M IOPS on a 64 thread box.

Looking in detail at the code, the main culprit here is needing to sum
percpu counters in the dispatch hot path, leading to very high CPU
utilization there. To make matters worse, the code currently needs to
sum 2 percpu counters, and it does so in the most naive way of iterating
possible CPUs _twice_.

Since we're close to release, revert this commit and we can re-do it
with regular per-priority counters instead for the 5.15 kernel.

The block layer may call the I/O scheduler .finish_request() callback
without having called the .insert_requests() callback. Make sure that the
mq-deadline I/O statistics are correct if the block layer inserts an I/O
request that bypasses the I/O scheduler. This patch prevents that lower
priority I/O is delayed longer than necessary for mixed I/O priority
workloads.

is_flush_rq() is called from bt_iter()/bt_tags_iter(), and runs the
following check:

	hctx-&gt;fq-&gt;flush_rq == req

but the passed hctx from bt_iter()/bt_tags_iter() may be NULL because:

1) memory re-order in blk_mq_rq_ctx_init():

	rq-&gt;mq_hctx = data-&gt;hctx;
	...
	refcount_set(&amp;rq-&gt;ref, 1);

OR

2) tag re-use and -&gt;rqs[] isn't updated with new request.

Fix the issue by re-writing is_flush_rq() as:

	return rq-&gt;end_io == flush_end_io;

which turns out simpler to follow and immune to data race since we have
ordered WRITE rq-&gt;end_io and refcount_set(&amp;rq-&gt;ref, 1).

is_flush_rq() is called from bt_iter()/bt_tags_iter(), and runs the
following check:

	hctx-&gt;fq-&gt;flush_rq == req

but the passed hctx from bt_iter()/bt_tags_iter() may be NULL because:

1) memory re-order in blk_mq_rq_ctx_init():

	rq-&gt;mq_hctx = data-&gt;hctx;
	...
	refcount_set(&amp;rq-&gt;ref, 1);

OR

2) tag re-use and -&gt;rqs[] isn't updated with new request.

Fix the issue by re-writing is_flush_rq() as:

	return rq-&gt;end_io == flush_end_io;

which turns out simpler to follow and immune to data race since we have
ordered WRITE rq-&gt;end_io and refcount_set(&amp;rq-&gt;ref, 1).

For fixing use-after-free during iterating over requests, we grabbed
request's refcount before calling -&gt;fn in commit 2e315dc07df0 ("blk-mq:
grab rq-&gt;refcount before calling -&gt;fn in blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter").
Turns out this way may cause kernel panic when iterating over one flush
request:

1) old flush request's tag is just released, and this tag is reused by
one new request, but -&gt;rqs[] isn't updated yet

2) the flush request can be re-used for submitting one new flush command,
so blk_rq_init() is called at the same time

3) meantime blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter() is called, and old flush request
is retrieved from -&gt;rqs[tag]; when blk_mq_put_rq_ref() is called,
flush_rq-&gt;end_io may not be updated yet, so NULL pointer dereference
is triggered in blk_mq_put_rq_ref().

Fix the issue by calling refcount_set(&amp;flush_rq-&gt;ref, 1) after
flush_rq-&gt;end_io is set. So far the only other caller of blk_rq_init() is
scsi_ioctl_reset() in which the request doesn't enter block IO stack and
the request reference count isn't used, so the change is safe.
