[ Upstream commit c462ecd659b5fce731f1d592285832fd6ad54053 ]

Block size should be between 512 and PAGE_SIZE and be a power of 2. The current
check does not validate this, so update the check.

Without this patch, null_blk would Oops due to a null pointer deref when
loaded with bs=1536 [1].

<title>null_blk: Do not allow runt zone with zone capacity smaller then zone size</title>

[ Upstream commit b164316808ec5de391c3e7b0148ec937d32d280d ]

A zoned device with a smaller last zone together with a zone capacity
smaller than the zone size does make any sense as that does not
correspond to any possible setup for a real device:
1) For ZNS and zoned UFS devices, all zones are always the same size.
2) For SMR HDDs, all zones always have the same capacity.
In other words, if we have a smaller last runt zone, then this zone
capacity should always be equal to the zone size.

Add a check in null_init_zoned_dev() to prevent a configuration to have
both a smaller zone size and a zone capacity smaller than the zone size.

commit 233e27b4d21c3e44eb863f03e566d3a22e81a7ae upstream.

When changing the maximum number of open zones, print that number
instead of the total number of zones.

[ Upstream commit 9a9525de865410047fa962867b4fcd33943b206f ]

null_blk has some rather odd capping of the max_hw_sectors value to
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which doesn't make sense - max_hw_sector is the
hardware limit, and BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS despite the confusing name is the
default cap for the max_sectors field used for normal file system I/O.

Remove all the capping, and simply leave it to the block layer or
user to take up or not all of that for file system I/O.

<title>null_blk: fix poll request timeout handling</title>

<content type='text'>
When doing io_uring benchmark on /dev/nullb0, it's easy to crash the
kernel if poll requests timeout triggered, as reported by David. [1]

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
Workqueue: kblockd blk_mq_timeout_work
RIP: 0010:null_timeout_rq+0x4e/0x91
Call Trace:
 ? null_timeout_rq+0x4e/0x91
 blk_mq_handle_expired+0x31/0x4b
 bt_iter+0x68/0x84
 ? bt_tags_iter+0x81/0x81
 __sbitmap_for_each_set.constprop.0+0xb0/0xf2

 blk_mq_timeout_work+0x95/0x127
 process_one_work+0x185/0x263
 worker_thread+0x1b5/0x227

This is indeed a race problem between null_timeout_rq() and null_poll().

null_poll()				null_timeout_rq()
  spin_lock(&amp;nq-&gt;poll_lock)
  list_splice_init(&amp;nq-&gt;poll_list, &amp;list)
  spin_unlock(&amp;nq-&gt;poll_lock)

  while (!list_empty(&amp;list))
    req = list_first_entry()
    list_del_init()
    ...
    blk_mq_add_to_batch()
    // req-&gt;rq_next = NULL
					spin_lock(&amp;nq-&gt;poll_lock)

					// rq-&gt;queuelist-&gt;next == NULL
					list_del_init(&amp;rq-&gt;queuelist)

					spin_unlock(&amp;nq-&gt;poll_lock)

Fix these problems by setting requests state to MQ_RQ_COMPLETE under
nq-&gt;poll_lock protection, in which null_timeout_rq() can safely detect
this race and early return.

Note this patch just fix the kernel panic when request timeout happen.

In null_register_zoned_dev(), execute blk_queue_chunk_sectors() and
blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() to respectively set the zoned device
zone size and maximum zone append sector limit before executing
blk_revalidate_disk_zones(). This is to allow the block layer zone
reavlidation to check these device characteristics prior to checking all
zones of the device.

In null_register_zoned_dev(), execute blk_queue_chunk_sectors() and
blk_queue_max_zone_append_sectors() to respectively set the zoned device
zone size and maximum zone append sector limit before executing
blk_revalidate_disk_zones(). This is to allow the block layer zone
reavlidation to check these device characteristics prior to checking all
zones of the device.

Swap:      0B          0B          0B
  2.modprobe null_blk memory_backed=1
  3.dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/nullb0 oflag=direct bs=1M count=1000
  4.modprobe -r null_blk
