blk_time_get_ns() caches ktime_get_ns() in current->plug->cur_ktime
and marks the task with PF_BLOCK_TS. That cache is only valid while the
task keeps running; if the task is switched out, wall-clock time
advances and the cached value must not be reused when the task runs again.

The existing invalidation covers explicit plug flushes through
__blk_flush_plug(), and the schedule() / rtmutex paths through
sched_update_worker(). It does not cover in-kernel preemption paths such
as preempt_schedule(), preempt_schedule_notrace(), and
preempt_schedule_irq(), which enter __schedule(SM_PREEMPT) directly and
return without calling sched_update_worker().

As a result, a task preempted while holding a plug with PF_BLOCK_TS set
can reuse a stale plug->cur_ktime after it is scheduled back in. blk-iocost
then consumes that stale timestamp through ioc_now(), producing stale vnow
values for throttle decisions, and through ioc_rqos_done(), inflating
on-queue time and feeding false missed-QoS samples into vrate
adjustment.

Move the schedule-side invalidation to finish_task_switch(), which runs
for the scheduled-in task after every actual context switch regardless
of which schedule entry point was used. Keep __blk_flush_plug() as the
explicit flush/finish-plug invalidation path, and remove only the
PF_BLOCK_TS handling from sched_update_worker().

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add shared memory zero-copy I/O support for ublk, bypassing per-I/O
   copies between kernel and userspace by matching registered buffer
   PFNs at I/O time. Includes selftests.

 - Refactor bio integrity to support filesystem initiated integrity
   operations and arbitrary buffer alignment.

 - Clean up bio allocation, splitting bio_alloc_bioset() into clear fast
   and slow paths. Add bio_await() and bio_submit_or_kill() helpers,
   unify synchronous bi_end_io callbacks.

 - Fix zone write plug refcount handling and plug removal races. Add
   support for serializing zone writes at QD=1 for rotational zoned
   devices, yielding significant throughput improvements.

 - Add SED-OPAL ioctls for Single User Mode management and a STACK_RESET
   command.

 - Add io_uring passthrough (uring_cmd) support to the BSG layer.

 - Replace pp_buf in partition scanning with struct seq_buf.

 - zloop improvements and cleanups.

 - drbd genl cleanup, switching to pre_doit/post_doit.

Remove the following unnecessary forward declarations from fs.h, which
improves maintainability.

- struct hd_geometry: became unused in fs.h when
  block_device_operations was moved to blkdev.h in commit 08f858512151
  ("[PATCH] move block_device_operations to blkdev.h"). The forward
  declaration is now added to blkdev.h where it is actually used.

- struct iovec: became unused when aio_read/aio_write were removed in
  commit 8436318205b9 ("->aio_read and ->aio_write removed")

- struct iov_iter: duplicate forward declaration. This removes the
  redundant second declaration, added in commit 293bc9822fa9
  ("new methods: ->read_iter() and ->write_iter()")

Merge in integrity changes which are also landing in the VFS tree as
dependencies for fs related changes.

* for-7.1/block-integrity:
  block: pass a maxlen argument to bio_iov_iter_bounce
  block: add fs_bio_integrity helpers

  block: prepare generation / verification helpers for fs usage
  block: add a bdev_has_integrity_csum helper

  block: factor out a bio_integrity_action helper

bdev_nonrot() is simply the negative return value of bdev_rot().
So replace all call sites of bdev_nonrot() with calls to bdev_rot()
and remove bdev_nonrot().
