<id>7a5428dcb7902700b830e912feee4e845df7c019</id>
<content type='text'>
Various block drivers call blk_set_queue_dying to mark a disk as dead due
to surprise removal events, but since commit 8e141f9eb803 that doesn't
work given that the GD_DEAD flag needs to be set to stop I/O.

Replace the driver calls to blk_set_queue_dying with a new (and properly
documented) blk_mark_disk_dead API, and fold blk_set_queue_dying into the
only remaining caller.

Fixes: 8e141f9eb803 ("block: drain file system I/O on del_gendisk")

<id>e45c47d1f94e0cc7b6b079fdb4bcce2995e2adc4</id>
<content type='text'>
bio_start_io_acct_time() interface is like bio_start_io_acct() that
allows start_time to be passed in. This gives drivers the ability to
defer starting accounting until after IO is issued (but possibily not
entirely due to bio splitting).

user-controlled "unsigned long arg" to blk_validate_block_size(),
"unsigned long" should be used for validation.

<title>blk-mq: move srcu from blk_mq_hw_ctx to request_queue</title>

<content type='text'>
In case of BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING, per-hctx srcu is used to protect dispatch
critical area. However, this srcu instance stays at the end of hctx, and
it often takes standalone cacheline, often cold.

Inside srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), WRITE is always done on
the indirect percpu variable which is allocated from heap instead of
being embedded, srcu-&gt;srcu_idx is read only in srcu_read_lock(). It
doesn't matter if srcu structure stays in hctx or request queue.

So switch to per-request-queue srcu for protecting dispatch, and this
way simplifies quiesce a lot, not mention quiesce is always done on the
request queue wide.

This function is trivial and is only used in one place.  Having this
function is misleading because it implies that blk_crypto_register()
needs to be paired with blk_crypto_unregister(), which is not the case.
Just set disk-&gt;queue-&gt;crypto_profile to NULL directly.

This is essentially never used, yet it's about 1/3rd of the total
queue size. Allocate it when needed, and don't embed it in the queue.

Kill the queue flag for this while at it, since we can just check the
assigned pointer now.
