commit bcb21c8cc9947286211327d663ace69f07d37a76 upstream.

In case of block device backend, if the backend supports write zeros, the
loop device will set queue flag of QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD. However,
limits.discard_granularity isn't setup, and this way is wrong,
see the following description in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block:

	A discard_granularity of 0 means that the device does not support
	discard functionality.

Especially 9b15d109a6b2 ("block: improve discard bio alignment in
__blkdev_issue_discard()") starts to take q-&gt;limits.discard_granularity
for computing max discard sectors. And zero discard granularity may cause
kernel oops, or fail discard request even though the loop queue claims
discard support via QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD.

Fix the issue by setup discard granularity and alignment.

[ Upstream commit c52abf563049e787c1341cdf15c7dbe1bfbc951b ]

If the backing device for a loop device is itself a block device,
then mirror the "write zeroes" capabilities of the underlying
block device into the loop device. Copy this capability into both
max_write_zeroes_sectors and max_discard_sectors of the loop device.

The reason for this is that REQ_OP_DISCARD on a loop device translates
into blkdev_issue_zeroout(), rather than blkdev_issue_discard(). This
presents a consistent interface for loop devices (that discarded data
is zeroed), regardless of the backing device type of the loop device.
There should be no behavior change for loop devices backed by regular
files.

This change fixes blktest block/003, and removes an extraneous
error print in block/013 when testing on a loop device backed
by a block device that does not support discard.

[ Upstream commit efcfec579f6139528c9e6925eca2bc4a36da65c6 ]

Currently, if the loop device receives a WRITE_ZEROES request, it asks
the underlying filesystem to punch out the range.  This behavior is
correct if unmapping is allowed.  However, a NOUNMAP request means that
the caller doesn't want us to free the storage backing the range, so
punching out the range is incorrect behavior.

To satisfy a NOUNMAP | WRITE_ZEROES request, loop should ask the
underlying filesystem to FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE, which is (according to
the fallocate documentation) required to ensure that the entire range is
backed by real storage, which suffices for our purposes.

<title>loop: change queue block size to match when using DIO</title>

The loop driver assumes that if the passed in fd is opened with
O_DIRECT, the caller wants to use direct I/O on the loop device.
However, if the underlying block device has a different block size than
the loop block queue, direct I/O can't be enabled. Instead of requiring
userspace to manually change the blocksize and re-enable direct I/O,
just change the queue block sizes to match, as well as the io_min size.

<title>loop: Add LOOP_SET_DIRECT_IO to compat ioctl</title>

Enabling Direct I/O with loop devices helps reducing memory usage by
avoiding double caching.  32 bit applications running on 64 bits systems
are currently not able to request direct I/O because is missing from the
lo_compat_ioctl.

This patch fixes the compatibility issue mentioned above by exporting
LOOP_SET_DIRECT_IO as additional lo_compat_ioctl() entry.
The input argument for this ioctl is a single long converted to a 1-bit
boolean, so compatibility is preserved.

<title>loop: set PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO for the worker thread</title>

A deadlock with this stacktrace was observed.

The loop thread does a GFP_KERNEL allocation, it calls into dm-bufio
shrinker and the shrinker depends on I/O completion in the dm-bufio
subsystem.

In order to fix the deadlock (and other similar ones), we set the flag
PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO at loop thread entry.

<title>loop: Fix mount(2) failure due to race with LOOP_SET_FD</title>

Commit 33ec3e53e7b1 ("loop: Don't change loop device under exclusive
opener") made LOOP_SET_FD ioctl acquire exclusive block device reference
while it updates loop device binding. However this can make perfectly
valid mount(2) fail with EBUSY due to racing LOOP_SET_FD holding
temporarily the exclusive bdev reference in cases like this:

for i in {a..z}{a..z}; do
        dd if=/dev/zero of=$i.image bs=1k count=0 seek=1024
        mkfs.ext2 $i.image
        mkdir mnt$i
done

echo "Run"
for i in {a..z}{a..z}; do
        mount -o loop -t ext2 $i.image mnt$i &amp;
done

Fix the problem by not getting full exclusive bdev reference in
LOOP_SET_FD but instead just mark the bdev as being claimed while we
update the binding information. This just blocks new exclusive openers
instead of failing them with EBUSY thus fixing the problem.
