linux-stable.git/block, branch v7.0.8 Linux kernel stable tree block: only read from sqe on initial invocation of blkdev_uring_cmd() 2026-05-14T13:31:10+00:00 Jens Axboe axboe@kernel.dk 2026-05-04T14:34:32+00:00 98f7743f118dc4e6e09a1d29ebec09524e35db3e commit 212ec34e4e726e8cd4af7bea4740db24de8a9dab upstream. This passthrough helper currently only supports discards. Part of that command is the start and length, which is read from the SQE. It does so on every invocation, where it really should just make it stable on the first invocation. This avoids needing to copy the SQE upfront, as we only really need those two 8b values stored in our per-req payload.

block: fix zone write plug removal 2026-05-14T13:31:10+00:00 Damien Le Moal dlemoal@kernel.org 2026-02-27T13:19:44+00:00 55fd8adc01eea7062dd2b5a16b7c7121c2663d78 commit b7d4ffb510373cc6ecf16022dd0e510a023034fb upstream. Commit 7b295187287e ("block: Do not remove zone write plugs still in use") modified disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() to add a check on the reference count of a zone write plug to prevent removing zone write plugs from a disk hash table when the plugs are still being referenced by BIOs or requests in-flight. However, this check does not take into account that a BIO completion may happen right after its submission by a zone write plug BIO work, and before the zone write plug BIO work releases the zone write plug reference count. This situation leads to disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() returning false as in this case the zone write plug reference count is at least equal to 3. If the BIO that completes in such manner transitioned the zone to the FULL condition, the zone write plug for the FULL zone will remain in the disk hash table. Furthermore, relying on a particular value of a zone write plug reference count to set the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED flag is fragile as reading the atomic reference count and doing a comparison with some value is not overall atomic at all. Address these issues by reworking the reference counting of zone write plugs so that removing plugs from a disk hash table can be done directly from disk_put_zone_wplug() when the last reference on a plug is dropped. To do so, replace the function disk_remove_zone_wplug() with disk_mark_zone_wplug_dead(). This new function sets the zone write plug flag BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEAD (which replaces BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED) and drops the initial reference on the zone write plug taken when the plug was added to the disk hash table. This function is called either for zones that are empty or full, or directly in the case of a forced plug removal (e.g. when the disk hash table is being destroyed on disk removal). With this change, disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() is also removed. disk_put_zone_wplug() is modified to call the function disk_free_zone_wplug() to remove a zone write plug from a disk hash table and free the plug structure (with a call_rcu()), when the last reference on a zone write plug is dropped. disk_free_zone_wplug() always checks that the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEAD flag is set. In order to avoid having multiple zone write plugs for the same zone in the disk hash table, disk_get_and_lock_zone_wplug() checked for the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED flag. This check is removed and a check for the new BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEAD flag is added to blk_zone_wplug_handle_write(). With this change, we continue preventing adding multiple zone write plugs for the same zone and at the same time re-inforce checks on the user behavior by failing new incoming write BIOs targeting a zone that is marked as dead. This case can happen only if the user erroneously issues write BIOs to zones that are full, or to zones that are currently being reset or finished.

commit b7d4ffb510373cc6ecf16022dd0e510a023034fb upstream.

Commit 7b295187287e ("block: Do not remove zone write plugs still in
use") modified disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() to add a check on the
reference count of a zone write plug to prevent removing zone write
plugs from a disk hash table when the plugs are still being referenced
by BIOs or requests in-flight. However, this check does not take into
account that a BIO completion may happen right after its submission by
a zone write plug BIO work, and before the zone write plug BIO work
releases the zone write plug reference count. This situation leads to
disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() returning false as in this case the zone
write plug reference count is at least equal to 3. If the BIO that
completes in such manner transitioned the zone to the FULL condition,
the zone write plug for the FULL zone will remain in the disk hash
table.

Furthermore, relying on a particular value of a zone write plug
reference count to set the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED flag is fragile as
reading the atomic reference count and doing a comparison with some
value is not overall atomic at all.

Address these issues by reworking the reference counting of zone write
plugs so that removing plugs from a disk hash table can be done
directly from disk_put_zone_wplug() when the last reference on a plug
is dropped.

To do so, replace the function disk_remove_zone_wplug() with
disk_mark_zone_wplug_dead(). This new function sets the zone write plug
flag BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEAD (which replaces BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED) and
drops the initial reference on the zone write plug taken when the plug
was added to the disk hash table. This function is called either for
zones that are empty or full, or directly in the case of a forced plug
removal (e.g. when the disk hash table is being destroyed on disk
removal). With this change, disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() is also

disk_put_zone_wplug() is modified to call the function
disk_free_zone_wplug() to remove a zone write plug from a disk hash
table and free the plug structure (with a call_rcu()), when the last
reference on a zone write plug is dropped. disk_free_zone_wplug()
always checks that the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEAD flag is set.

In order to avoid having multiple zone write plugs for the same zone in
the disk hash table, disk_get_and_lock_zone_wplug() checked for the
BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED flag. This check is removed and a check for
the new BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEAD flag is added to
blk_zone_wplug_handle_write(). With this change, we continue preventing
adding multiple zone write plugs for the same zone and at the same time
re-inforce checks on the user behavior by failing new incoming write

This potentially creates a circular dependency involving ->fs_reclaim if reclaim is triggered simultaneously in a code path which first acquires ->pcpu_ alloc_mutex. As the queue is already frozen while nr_hw_queue update allocates tagsets, the reclaim can't forward progress and thus it could cause a potential deadlock as reported in lockdep splat[1]. Fix this by pre-allocating tagset tags before we freeze queue during nr_hw_queue update. Later the allocated tagset tags could be safely installed and used after queue is frozen.

While nr_hw_update allocates tagset tags it acquires ->pcpu_alloc_mutex
after ->freeze_lock is acquired or queue is frozen. This potentially
creates a circular dependency involving ->fs_reclaim if reclaim is
triggered simultaneously in a code path which first acquires ->pcpu_
alloc_mutex. As the queue is already frozen while nr_hw_queue update
allocates tagsets, the reclaim can't forward progress and thus it could
cause a potential deadlock as reported in lockdep splat[1].

Fix this by pre-allocating tagset tags before we freeze queue during
nr_hw_queue update. Later the allocated tagset tags could be safely
installed and used after queue is frozen.
