[ Upstream commit cffc873d68ab09a0432b8212008c5613f8a70a2c ]

When aoe's rexmit_timer() notices that an aoe target fails to respond to
commands for more than aoe_deadsecs, it calls aoedev_downdev() which
cleans the outstanding aoe and block queues. This can involve sleeping,
such as in blk_mq_freeze_queue(), which should not occur in irq context.

This patch defers that aoedev_downdev() call to the aoe device's
workqueue.

[ Upstream commit 7f90d45e57cb2ef1f0adcaf925ddffdfc5e680ca ]

An aoe device's rq_list contains accepted block requests that are
waiting to be transmitted to the aoe target. This queue was added as
part of the conversion to blk_mq. However, the queue was not cleaned out
when an aoe device is downed which caused blk_mq_freeze_queue() to sleep
indefinitely waiting for those requests to complete, causing a hang. This
fix cleans out the queue before calling blk_mq_freeze_queue().

commit 0dba7a05b9e47d8b546399117b0ddf2426dc6042 upstream.

Remove the suppression of the uevents before scanning for partitions.
The partitions inherit their suppression settings from their parent device,
which lead to the uevents being dropped.

This is similar to the same changes for LOOP_CONFIGURE done in
commit bb430b694226 ("loop: LOOP_CONFIGURE: send uevents for partitions").

commit e7bc0010ceb403d025100698586c8e760921d471 upstream.

The original commit message and the wording "uncork" in the code comment
indicate that it is expected that the suppressed event instances are
automatically sent after unsuppressing.
This is not the case, instead they are discarded.
In effect this means that no "changed" events are emitted on the device
itself by default.
While each discovered partition does trigger a changed event on the
device, devices without partitions don't have any event emitted.

This makes udev miss the device creation and prompted workarounds in
userspace. See the linked util-linux/losetup bug.

Explicitly emit the events and drop the confusingly worded comments.

The zram-&gt;comp_algs[ZRAM_PRIMARY_COMP] can be NULL in zram_add() if
comp_algorithm_set() has not been called.  User can access the zram device
by sysfs after device_add_disk(), so there is a time window to trigger the
NULL pointer dereference.  Move it ahead device_add_disk() to make sure
when user can access the zram device, it is ready.  comp_algorithm_set()
is protected by zram-&gt;init_lock in other places and no such problem.

<title>ublk: set_params: properly check if parameters can be applied</title>

[ Upstream commit 5ac60242b0173be83709603ebaf27a473f16c4e4 ]

The parameters set by the set_params call are only applied to the block
device in the start_dev call. So if a device has already been started, a
subsequently issued set_params on that device will not have the desired
effect, and should return an error. There is an existing check for this
- set_params fails on devices in the LIVE state. But this check is not
sufficient to cover the recovery case. In this case, the device will be
in the QUIESCED or FAIL_IO states, so set_params will succeed. But this
success is misleading, because the parameters will not be applied, since
the device has already been started (by a previous ublk server). The bit
UB_STATE_USED is set on completion of the start_dev; use it to detect
and fail set_params commands which arrive too late to be applied (after
start_dev).
