<content type='text'>
If fallcate is implemented but zero and discard operations are not
supported by the filesystem the backing file is on we continue to fill
dmesg with errors from the blk_mq_end_request() since each time we call
fallocate() on the loop device the EOPNOTSUPP error from lo_fallocate()
ends up propagated into the block layer. In the end syscall succeeds
since the blkdev_issue_zeroout() falls back to writing zeroes which
makes the errors even more misleading and confusing.

How to reproduce:

1. make sure /tmp is mounted as tmpfs
2. dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/disk.img bs=1M count=100
3. losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/disk.img
4. mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0
5. dmesg |tail

This patch changes the lo_fallocate() to clear the flags for zero and
discard operations if we get EOPNOTSUPP from the backing file fallocate
callback, that way we at least stop spewing errors after the first
unsuccessful try.

Make it again possible for sparse to verify that blk_status_t and Unix
error codes are used in the proper context by making nbd_send_cmd()
return a blk_status_t instead of an integer.

No functionality has been changed.

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>

<content type='text'>
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.

When powering on a null_blk device that is not already on, the return
value ret that is initialized to be count is reused to check the return
value of null_add_dev(), leading to nullb_device_power_store() to return
null_add_dev() return value (0 on success) instead of "count".
So make sure to set ret to be equal to count when there are no errors.

Pull tracing cleanup from Steven Rostedt:
 "Remove second argument of __assign_str()

  The __assign_str() macro logic of the TRACE_EVENT() macro was
  optimized so that it no longer needs the second argument. The
  __assign_str() is always matched with __string() field that takes a
  field name and the source for that field:

    __string(field, source)

  The TRACE_EVENT() macro logic will save off the source value and then
  use that value to copy into the ring buffer via the __assign_str().

  Before commit c1fa617caeb0 ("tracing: Rework __assign_str() and
  __string() to not duplicate getting the string"), the __assign_str()
  needed the second argument which would perform the same logic as the
  __string() source parameter did. Not only would this add overhead, but
  it was error prone as if the __assign_str() source produced something
  different, it may not have allocated enough for the string in the ring
  buffer (as the __string() source was used to determine how much to
  allocate)

  Now that the __assign_str() just uses the same string that was used in
  __string() it no longer needs the source parameter. It can now be
  removed"

<title>null_blk: fix null-ptr-dereference while configuring 'power' and 'submit_queues'</title>

Writing 'power' and 'submit_queues' concurrently will trigger kernel
panic:

Test script:

modprobe null_blk nr_devices=0
mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0
while true; do echo 1 &gt; submit_queues; echo 4 &gt; submit_queues; done &amp;
while true; do echo 1 &gt; power; echo 0 &gt; power; done

Test result:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000148
Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
RIP: 0010:__lock_acquire+0x41d/0x28f0
Call Trace:
 &lt;TASK&gt;
 lock_acquire+0x121/0x450

 configfs_write_iter+0x119/0x1e0
 vfs_write+0x326/0x730
 ksys_write+0x74/0x150

This is because del_gendisk() can concurrent with
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues():

nullb_device_power_store	nullb_apply_submit_queues
 null_del_dev
 del_gendisk
				 nullb_update_nr_hw_queues
				  if (!dev-&gt;nullb)
				  // still set while gendisk is deleted
				   return 0
				  blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues
 dev-&gt;nullb = NULL

Fix this problem by resuing the global mutex to protect
nullb_device_power_store() and nullb_update_nr_hw_queues() from configfs.
