commit d2c9be89f8ebe7ebcc97676ac40f8dec1cf9b43a upstream.

8962842ca5ab ("blk-mq: avoid sysfs buffer overflow with too many CPU cores")
avoids sysfs buffer overflow, and reserves one character for line break.
However, the last snprintf() doesn't get correct 'size' parameter passed
in, so fixed it.

commit 2a5cf35cd6c56b2924bce103413ad3381bdc31fa upstream.

There are actually two kinds of discard merge:

- one is the normal discard merge, just like normal read/write request,
and call it single-range discard

- another is the multi-range discard, queue_max_discard_segments(rq-&gt;q) &gt; 1

For the former case, queue_max_discard_segments(rq-&gt;q) is 1, and we
should handle this kind of discard merge like the normal read/write
request.

This patch fixes the following kernel panic issue[1], which is caused by
not removing the single-range discard request from elevator queue.

Guangwu has one raid discard test case, in which this issue is a bit
easier to trigger, and I verified that this patch can fix the kernel
panic issue in Guangwu's test case.

commit 8962842ca5abdcf98e22ab3b2b45a103f0408b95 upstream.

It is reported that sysfs buffer overflow can be triggered if the system
has too many CPU cores(&gt;841 on 4K PAGE_SIZE) when showing CPUs of
hctx via /sys/block/$DEV/mq/$N/cpu_list.

Use snprintf to avoid the potential buffer overflow.

This version doesn't change the attribute format, and simply stops
showing CPU numbers if the buffer is going to overflow.

[ Upstream commit 69840466086d2248898020a08dda52732686c4e6 ]

There are two cases when handle DISCARD merge.
If max_discard_segments == 1, the bios/requests need to be contiguous
to merge. If max_discard_segments &gt; 1, it takes every bio as a range
and different range needn't to be contiguous.

But now, attempt_merge screws this up. It always consider contiguity
for DISCARD for the case max_discard_segments &gt; 1 and cannot merge
contiguous DISCARD for the case max_discard_segments == 1, because
rq_attempt_discard_merge always returns false in this case.
This patch fixes both of the two cases above.

<title>blok, bfq: do not plug I/O if all queues are weight-raised</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit c8765de0adfcaaf4ffb2d951e07444f00ffa9453 ]

To reduce latency for interactive and soft real-time applications, bfq
privileges the bfq_queues containing the I/O of these
applications. These privileged queues, referred-to as weight-raised
queues, get a much higher share of the device throughput
w.r.t. non-privileged queues. To preserve this higher share, the I/O
of any non-weight-raised queue must be plugged whenever a sync
weight-raised queue, while being served, remains temporarily empty. To
attain this goal, bfq simply plugs any I/O (from any queue), if a sync
weight-raised queue remains empty while in service.

Unfortunately, this plugging typically lowers throughput with random
I/O, on devices with internal queueing (because it reduces the filling
level of the internal queues of the device).

This commit addresses this issue by restricting the cases where
plugging is performed: if a sync weight-raised queue remains empty
while in service, then I/O plugging is performed only if some of the
active bfq_queues are *not* weight-raised (which is actually the only
circumstance where plugging is needed to preserve the higher share of
the throughput of weight-raised queues). This restriction proved able
to boost throughput in really many use cases needing only maximum
throughput.

[ Upstream commit c8765de0adfcaaf4ffb2d951e07444f00ffa9453 ]

To reduce latency for interactive and soft real-time applications, bfq
privileges the bfq_queues containing the I/O of these
applications. These privileged queues, referred-to as weight-raised
queues, get a much higher share of the device throughput
w.r.t. non-privileged queues. To preserve this higher share, the I/O
of any non-weight-raised queue must be plugged whenever a sync
weight-raised queue, while being served, remains temporarily empty. To
attain this goal, bfq simply plugs any I/O (from any queue), if a sync
weight-raised queue remains empty while in service.

Unfortunately, this plugging typically lowers throughput with random
I/O, on devices with internal queueing (because it reduces the filling
level of the internal queues of the device).

This commit addresses this issue by restricting the cases where
plugging is performed: if a sync weight-raised queue remains empty
while in service, then I/O plugging is performed only if some of the
active bfq_queues are *not* weight-raised (which is actually the only
circumstance where plugging is needed to preserve the higher share of
the throughput of weight-raised queues). This restriction proved able
to boost throughput in really many use cases needing only maximum
throughput.

[ Upstream commit e7bf90e5afe3aa1d1282c1635a49e17a32c4ecec ]

In bio_integrity_prep(), a kernel buffer is allocated through kmalloc() to
hold integrity metadata. Later on, the buffer will be attached to the bio
structure through bio_integrity_add_page(), which returns the number of
bytes of integrity metadata attached. Due to unexpected situations,
bio_integrity_add_page() may return 0. As a result, bio_integrity_prep()
needs to be terminated with 'false' returned to indicate this error.
However, the allocated kernel buffer is not freed on this execution path,
leading to a memory leak.

To fix this issue, free the allocated buffer before returning from
bio_integrity_prep().

<title>block, bfq: NULL out the bic when it's no longer valid</title>

commit dbc3117d4ca9e17819ac73501e914b8422686750 upstream.

In reboot tests on several devices we were seeing a "use after free"
when slub_debug or KASAN was enabled.  The kernel complained about:

  Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6c2b

...which is a classic sign of use after free under slub_debug.  The
stack crawl in kgdb looked like:

 0  test_bit (addr=&lt;optimized out&gt;, nr=&lt;optimized out&gt;)
 1  bfq_bfqq_busy (bfqq=&lt;optimized out&gt;)
 2  bfq_select_queue (bfqd=&lt;optimized out&gt;)
 3  __bfq_dispatch_request (hctx=&lt;optimized out&gt;)
 4  bfq_dispatch_request (hctx=&lt;optimized out&gt;)
 5  0xc056ef00 in blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched (hctx=0xed249440)
 6  0xc056f728 in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests (hctx=0xed249440)
 7  0xc0568d24 in __blk_mq_run_hw_queue (hctx=0xed249440)
 8  0xc0568d94 in blk_mq_run_work_fn (work=&lt;optimized out&gt;)
 9  0xc024c5c4 in process_one_work (worker=0xec6d4640, work=0xed249480)
 10 0xc024cff4 in worker_thread (__worker=0xec6d4640)

Digging in kgdb, it could be found that, though bfqq looked fine,
bfqq-&gt;bic had been freed.

Through further digging, I postulated that perhaps it is illegal to
access a "bic" (AKA an "icq") after bfq_exit_icq() had been called
because the "bic" can be freed at some point in time after this call
is made.  I confirmed that there certainly were cases where the exact
crashing code path would access the "bic" after bfq_exit_icq() had
been called.  Sspecifically I set the "bfqq-&gt;bic" to (void *)0x7 and
saw that the bic was 0x7 at the time of the crash.

To understand a bit more about why this crash was fairly uncommon (I
saw it only once in a few hundred reboots), you can see that much of
the time bfq_exit_icq_fbqq() fully frees the bfqq and thus it can't
access the -&gt;bic anymore.  The only case it doesn't is if
bfq_put_queue() sees a reference still held.

However, even in the case when bfqq isn't freed, the crash is still
rare.  Why?  I tracked what happened to the "bic" after the exit
routine.  It doesn't get freed right away.  Rather,
put_io_context_active() eventually called put_io_context() which
queued up freeing on a workqueue.  The freeing then actually happened
later than that through call_rcu().  Despite all these delays, some
extra debugging showed that all the hoops could be jumped through in
time and the memory could be freed causing the original crash.  Phew!

To make a long story short, assuming it truly is illegal to access an
icq after the "exit_icq" callback is finished, this patch is needed.

[ Upstream commit 17d51b10d7773e4618bcac64648f30f12d4078fb ]

bio_iov_iter_get_pages() currently only adds pages for the next non-zero
segment from the iov_iter to the bio. That's suboptimal for callers,
which typically try to pin as many pages as fit into the bio. This patch
converts the current bio_iov_iter_get_pages() into a static helper, and
introduces a new helper that allocates as many pages as

 1) fit into the bio,
 2) are present in the iov_iter,
 3) and can be pinned by MM.

Error is returned only if zero pages could be pinned. Because of 3), a
zero return value doesn't necessarily mean all pages have been pinned.
Callers that have to pin every page in the iov_iter must still call this
function in a loop (this is currently the case).

This change matters most for __blkdev_direct_IO_simple(), which calls
bio_iov_iter_get_pages() only once. If it obtains less pages than
requested, it returns a "short write" or "short read", and
__generic_file_write_iter() falls back to buffered writes, which may
lead to data corruption.

For the upcoming removal of buffer heads in XFS we need to keep track of
the number of outstanding writeback requests per page.  For this we need
to know if bio_add_page merged a region with the previous bvec or not.
Instead of adding additional arguments this refactors bio_add_page to
be implemented using three lower level helpers which users like XFS can
use directly if they care about the merge decisions.
