<title>dm: Fix dm-zoned-reclaim zone write pointer alignment</title>

<id>b76b840fd93374240b59825f1ab8e2f5c9907acb</id>
<content type='text'>
The zone reclaim processing of the dm-zoned device mapper uses
blkdev_issue_zeroout() to align the write pointer of a zone being used
for reclaiming another zone, to write the valid data blocks from the
zone being reclaimed at the same position relative to the zone start in
the reclaim target zone.

The first call to blkdev_issue_zeroout() will try to use hardware
offload using a REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation if the device reports a
non-zero max_write_zeroes_sectors queue limit. If this operation fails
because of the lack of hardware support, blkdev_issue_zeroout() falls
back to using a regular write operation with the zero-page as buffer.
Currently, such REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES failure is automatically handled by
the block layer zone write plugging code which will execute a report
zones operation to ensure that the write pointer of the target zone of
the failed operation has not changed and to "rewind" the zone write
pointer offset of the target zone as it was advanced when the write zero
operation was submitted. So the REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES failure does not
cause any issue and blkdev_issue_zeroout() works as expected.

However, since the automatic recovery of zone write pointers by the zone
write plugging code can potentially cause deadlocks with queue freeze
operations, a different recovery must be implemented in preparation for
the removal of zone write plugging report zones based recovery.

Do this by introducing the new function blk_zone_issue_zeroout(). This
function first calls blkdev_issue_zeroout() with the flag
BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK to intercept failures on the first execution
which attempt to use the device hardware offload with the
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation. If this attempt fails, a report zone
operation is issued to restore the zone write pointer offset of the
target zone to the correct position and blkdev_issue_zeroout() is called
again without the BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK flag. The report zones
operation performing this recovery is implemented using the helper
function disk_zone_sync_wp_offset() which calls the gendisk report_zones
file operation with the callback disk_report_zones_cb(). This callback
updates the target write pointer offset of the target zone using the new
function disk_zone_wplug_sync_wp_offset().

dmz_reclaim_align_wp() is modified to change its call to
blkdev_issue_zeroout() to a call to blk_zone_issue_zeroout() without any
other change needed as the two functions are functionnally equivalent.

<title>bcache: revert replacing IS_ERR_OR_NULL with IS_ERR again</title>

Commit 028ddcac477b ("bcache: Remove unnecessary NULL point check in
node allocations") leads a NULL pointer deference in cache_set_flush().

1721         if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(c-&gt;root))
1722                 list_add(&amp;c-&gt;root-&gt;list, &amp;c-&gt;btree_cache);

&gt;From the above code in cache_set_flush(), if previous registration code
fails before allocating c-&gt;root, it is possible c-&gt;root is NULL as what
it is initialized. __bch_btree_node_alloc() never returns NULL but
c-&gt;root is possible to be NULL at above line 1721.

This patch replaces IS_ERR() by IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to fix this.

Remove the unused "data_start" variable. It is always set to zero and the
user can't override it. If the user needs to use some existing offset
within a block device, it is possible to use the linear target.

Vlastimil Babka said [1] that kmalloc will return a power-of-two-aligned
buffer if it was called with a power-of-two size. So, we can use kmalloc
instead of our own slab cache in dm-bufio. Note that the code for the
slab cache was not removed because dm-bufio supports non-power-of-two
buffer sizes.

This adds support to obtain a device's unique id through dm, similar to the
existing ioctl and persistent resevation handling.  We limit this to
single-target devices.

This enables knfsd to export pNFS SCSI luns that have been exported from
multipath devices.
