2026-02-12block: fix partial IOVA mapping cleanup in blk_rq_dma_map_iovaChaitanya Kulkarni
When dma_iova_link() fails partway through mapping a request's bvec list, the function breaks out of the loop without cleaning up already mapped segments. Similarly, if dma_iova_sync() fails after linking all segments, no cleanup is performed. This leaves partial IOVA mappings in place. The completion path attempts to unmap the full expected size via dma_iova_destroy() or nvme_unmap_data(), but only a partial size was actually mapped, leading to incorrect unmap operations. Add an out_unlink error path that calls dma_iova_destroy() to clean up partial mappings before returning failure. The dma_iova_destroy() function handles both partial unlink and IOVA space freeing. It correctly handles the mapped_len == 0 case (first dma_iova_link() failure) by only freeing the IOVA allocation without attempting to unmap.

2026-02-11block: allow IOC_PR_READ_* ioctls with BLK_OPEN_READStefan Hajnoczi
The recently added IOC_PR_READ_* ioctls require the same BLK_OPEN_WRITE permission as the older persistent reservation ioctls. This has the drawback that udev triggers when the file descriptor is closed, resulting in unnecessary activity like scanning partitions even though these read-only ioctls do not modify the device. Change IOC_PR_READ_KEYS and IOC_PR_READ_RESERVATION to require BLK_OPEN_READ. This prevents unnecessary activity every time `blkpr --read-keys` or `blkpr --read-reservation` is invoked by shell scripts, for example. It is safe to reduce the permission requirement from BLK_OPEN_WRITE to BLK_OPEN_READ since these two ioctls do not modify the persistent reservation state. Userspace cannot use the information fetched by these ioctls to make changes to the device unless it later opens the device with BLK_OPEN_WRITE.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker: "The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events. One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along the way. Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated partitions. The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's suggestion. As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a specific RCU based synchronization.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux Pull bounce buffer dio for stable pages from Jens Axboe: "This adds support for bounce buffering of dio for stable pages. This was all done by Christoph. In his words: This series tries to address the problem that under I/O pages can be modified during direct I/O, even when the device or file system require stable pages during I/O to calculate checksums, parity or data operations. It does so by adding block layer helpers to bounce buffer an iov_iter into a bio, then wires that up in iomap and ultimately XFS. The reason that the file system even needs to know about it, is because reads need a user context to copy the data back, and the infrastructure to defer ioends to a workqueue currently sits in XFS. I'm going to look into moving that into ioend and enabling it for other file systems. Additionally btrfs already has it's own infrastructure for this, and actually an urgent need to bounce buffer, so this should be useful there and could be wire up easily. In fact the idea comes from patches by Qu that did this in btrfs. This patch fixes all but one xfstests failures on T10 PI capable devices (generic/095 seems to have issues with a mix of mmap and splice still, I'm looking into that separately), and make qemu VMs running Windows, or Linux with swap enabled fine on an XFS file on a device using PI.

2026-02-03mq-deadline: covert to use request_queue->async_depthYu Kuai
In downstream kernel, we test with mq-deadline with many fio workloads, and we found a performance regression after commit 39823b47bbd4 ("block/mq-deadline: Fix the tag reservation code") with following test: [global] rw=randread direct=1 ramp_time=1 ioengine=libaio iodepth=1024 numjobs=24 bs=1024k group_reporting=1 runtime=60 [job1] filename=/dev/sda Root cause is that mq-deadline now support configuring async_depth, although the default value is nr_request, however the minimal value is 1, hence min_shallow_depth is set to 1, causing wake_batch to be 1. For consequence, sbitmap_queue will be waken up after each IO instead of 8 IO. In this test case, sda is HDD and max_sectors is 128k, hence each submitted 1M io will be splited into 8 sequential 128k requests, however due to there are 24 jobs and total tags are exhausted, the 8 requests are unlikely to be dispatched sequentially, and changing wake_batch to 1 will make this much worse, accounting blktrace D stage, the percentage of sequential io is decreased from 8% to 0.8%. Fix this problem by converting to request_queue->async_depth, where min_shallow_depth is set each time async_depth is updated.

Add helpers to implement bounce buffering of data into a bio to implement direct I/O for cases where direct user access is not possible because stable in-flight data is required. These are intended to be used as easily as bio_iov_iter_get_pages for the zero-copy path. The write side is trivial and just copies data into the bounce buffer. The read side is a lot more complex because it needs to perform the copy from the completion context, and without preserving the iov_iter through the call chain. It steals a trick from the integrity data user interface and uses the first vector in the bio for the bounce buffer data that is fed to the block I/O stack, and uses the others to record the user buffer fragments.

2026-01-28block: open code bio_add_page and fix handling of mismatching P2P rangesChristoph Hellwig
bio_add_page fails to add data to the bio when mixing P2P with non-P2P ranges, or ranges that map to different P2P providers. In that case it will trigger that WARN_ON and return an error up the chain instead of simply starting a new bio as intended. Fix this by open coding bio_add_page and handling this case explicitly. While doing so, stop merging physical contiguous data that belongs to multiple folios. While this merge could lead to more efficient bio packing in some case, dropping will allow to remove handling of this corner case in other places and make the code more robust.

2026-01-22blk-mq: use BLK_POLL_ONESHOT for synchronous poll completionMing Lei
blk_execute_rq() with polling is used in kernel code paths such as NVMe controller connect. The aggressive spinning in blk_hctx_poll() can prevent the completion task from getting a chance to run, causing a lockup. The spinning with cpu_relax() doesn't yield CPU, so need_resched() only becomes true on timer tick. This causes unnecessary spinning while the completion task is already waiting to run. Before commit f22ecf9c14c1, the loop would exit early because task_is_running() was always true. After that commit removed the check, the loop now spins until need_resched(). Fix this by using BLK_POLL_ONESHOT in blk_rq_poll_completion(). This causes blk_hctx_poll() to poll once and return immediately, letting the outer loop's cond_resched() yield CPU so the completion task can run.

2026-01-20mm/block/fs: remove laptop_modeJohannes Weiner
Laptop mode was introduced to save battery, by delaying and consolidating writes and thereby maximize the time rotating hard drives wouldn't have to spin. Luckily, rotating hard drives, with their high spin-up times and power draw, are a thing of the past for battery-powered devices. Reclaim has also since changed to not write single filesystem pages anymore, and regular filesystem writeback is lumpy by design. The juice doesn't appear worth the squeeze anymore. The footprint of the feature is small, but nevertheless it's a complicating factor in mm, block, filesystems. Developers don't think about it, and it likely hasn't been tested with new reclaim and writeback changes in years. Let's sunset it. Keep the sysctl with a deprecation warning around for a few more cycles, but remove all functionality behind it.

2026-01-20block: pass io_comp_batch to rq_end_io_fn callbackMing Lei
Add a third parameter 'const struct io_comp_batch *' to the rq_end_io_fn callback signature. This allows end_io handlers to access the completion batch context when requests are completed via blk_mq_end_request_batch(). The io_comp_batch is passed from blk_mq_end_request_batch(), while NULL is passed from __blk_mq_end_request() and blk_mq_put_rq_ref() which don't have batch context. This infrastructure change enables drivers to detect whether they're being called from a batched completion path (like iopoll) and access additional context stored in the io_comp_batch.

2026-01-19block: Fix an error path in disk_update_zone_resources()Bart Van Assche
Any queue_limits_start_update() call must be followed either by a queue_limits_commit_update() call or by a queue_limits_cancel_update() call. Make sure that the error path near the start of disk_update_zone_resources() follows this requirement. Remove the "goto unfreeze" statement from that error path to make the code easier to verify. This was detected by annotating the queue_limits_*() calls with Clang thread-safety attributes and by building the kernel with thread-safety checking enabled.

Add a blk_crypto_submit_bio helper that either submits the bio when it is not encrypted or inline encryption is provided, but otherwise handles the encryption before going down into the low-level driver. This reduces the risk from bio reordering and keeps memory allocation as high up in the stack as possible. Note that if the submitter knows that inline enctryption is known to be supported by the underyling driver, it can still use plain submit_bio.

2026-01-11blk-crypto: optimize data unit alignment checkingChristoph Hellwig
Avoid the relatively high overhead of constructing and walking per-page segment bio_vecs for data unit alignment checking by merging the checks into existing loops. For hardware support crypto, perform the check in bio_split_io_at, which already contains a similar alignment check applied for all I/O. This means bio-based drivers that do not call bio_split_to_limits, should they ever grow blk-crypto support, need to implement the check themselves, just like all other queue limits checks. For blk-crypto-fallback do it in the encryption/decryption loops. This means alignment errors for decryption will only be detected after I/O has completed, but that seems like a worthwhile trade off.
