Convert the brd driver to use the blk_alloc_disk and blk_cleanup_disk helpers to simplify gendisk and request_queue allocation. This also allows to remove the request_queue pointer in struct request_queue, and to simplify the initialization as blk_cleanup_disk can be called on any disk returned from blk_alloc_disk.

The tags used for an IO scheduler are currently per hctx. As such, when q->nr_hw_queues grows, so does the request queue total IO scheduler tag depth. This may cause problems for SCSI MQ HBAs whose total driver depth is fixed. Ming and Yanhui report higher CPU usage and lower throughput in scenarios where the fixed total driver tag depth is appreciably lower than the total scheduler tag depth: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/440dfcfc-1a2c-bd98-1161-cec4d78c6dfc@huawei.com/T/#mc0d6d4f95275a2743d1c8c3e4dc9ff6c9aa3a76b In that scenario, since the scheduler tag is got first, much contention is introduced since a driver tag may not be available after we have got the sched tag. Improve this scenario by introducing request queue-wide tags for when a tagset-wide sbitmap is used. The static sched requests are still allocated per hctx, as requests are initialised per hctx, as in blk_mq_init_request(..., hctx_idx, ...) -> set->ops->init_request(.., hctx_idx, ...). For simplicity of resizing the request queue sbitmap when updating the request queue depth, just init at the max possible size, so we don't need to deal with the possibly with swapping out a new sbitmap for old if we need to grow.

refcount_inc_not_zero() in bt_tags_iter() still may read one freed request. Fix the issue by the following approach: 1) hold a per-tags spinlock when reading ->rqs[tag] and calling refcount_inc_not_zero in bt_tags_iter() 2) clearing stale request referred via ->rqs[tag] before freeing request pool, the per-tags spinlock is held for clearing stale ->rq[tag] So after we cleared stale requests, bt_tags_iter() won't observe freed request any more, also the clearing will wait for pending request reference. The idea of clearing ->rqs[] is borrowed from John Garry's previous patch and one recent David's patch.

Grab rq->refcount before calling ->fn in blk_mq_tagset_busy_iter(), and this way will prevent the request from being re-used when ->fn is running. The approach is same as what we do during handling timeout. Fix request use-after-free(UAF) related with completion race or queue releasing: - If one rq is referred before rq->q is frozen, then queue won't be frozen before the request is released during iteration. - If one rq is referred after rq->q is frozen, refcount_inc_not_zero() will return false, and we won't iterate over this request. However, still one request UAF not covered: refcount_inc_not_zero() may read one freed request, and it will be handled in next patch.

blkcg has always rejected to attach if any of the member tasks has shared io_context. The rationale was that io_contexts can be shared across different cgroups making it impossible to define what the appropriate control behavior should be. However, this check causes more problems than it solves: * The check prevents controller enable and migrations but not CLONE_IO itself, which can lead to surprises as the outcome changes depending on the order of operations. * Sharing within a cgroup is fine but the check can't distinguish that. This leads to unnecessary conflicts with the recent CLONE_IO usage in io_uring. io_context sharing doesn't make any difference for rq_qos based controllers and the way it's used is safe as long as tasks aren't migrated dynamically which is the vast majority of use cases. While we can try to make the check more precise to avoid false positives, the added complexity doesn't seem worthwhile. Let's just drop blkcg_can_attach().

block_dump is an old debugging interface, one of it's functions is used to print the information about who write which file on disk. If we enable block_dump through /proc/sys/vm/block_dump and turn on debug log level, we can gather information about write process name, target file name and disk from kernel message. This feature is realized in block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(), it print above information into kernel message directly when marking inode dirty, so it is noisy and can easily trigger log storm. At the same time, get the dentry refcount is also not safe, we found it will lead to deadlock on ext4 file system with data=journal mode. After tracepoints has been introduced into the kernel, we got a tracepoint in __mark_inode_dirty(), which is a better replacement of block_dump___mark_inode_dirty(). The only downside is that it only trace the inode number and not a file name, but it probably doesn't matter because the original printed file name in block_dump is not accurate in some cases, and we can still find it through the inode number and device id. So this patch delete the dirting inode part of block_dump feature.

In commit d6995da3 ("hugetlb: use page.private for hugetlb specific page flags") the use of PagePrivate to indicate a reservation count should be restored at free time was changed to the hugetlb specific flag HPageRestoreReserve. Changes to a userfaultfd error path as well as a VM_BUG_ON() in remove_inode_hugepages() were overlooked. Users could see incorrect hugetlb reserve counts if they experience an error with a UFFDIO_COPY operation. Specifically, this would be the result of an unlikely copy_huge_page_from_user error. There is not an increased chance of hitting the VM_BUG_ON.

GENMASK() has an input check which uses __builtin_choose_expr() to enable a compile time sanity check of its inputs if they are known at compile time. However, it turns out that __builtin_constant_p() does not always return a compile time constant [0]. It was thought this problem was fixed with gcc 4.9 [1], but apparently this is not the case [2]. Switch to use __is_constexpr() instead which always returns a compile time constant, regardless of its inputs.

Commit 9bf3bc94 ("watchdog: cleanup handling of false positives") tried to handle a virtual host stopped by the host a more straightforward and cleaner way. But it introduced a risk of false softlockup reports. The virtual host might be stopped at any time, for example between kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() and is_softlockup(). As a result, is_softlockup() might read the updated jiffies and detects a softlockup. A solution might be to put back kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() after is_softlockup() and detect it. But it would put back the cycle that complicates the logic. In fact, the handling of all the timestamps is not reliable. The code does not guarantee when and how many times the timestamps are read. For example, "period_ts" might be touched anytime also from NMI and re-read in is_softlockup(). It works just by chance. Fix all the problems by making the code even more explicit. 1. Make sure that "now" and "period_ts" timestamps are read only once. They might be changed at anytime by NMI or when the virtual guest is stopped by the host. Note that "now" timestamp does this implicitly because "jiffies" is marked volatile. 2. "now" time must be read first. The state of "period_ts" will decide whether it will be used or the period will get restarted. 3. kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() must be called before reading "period_ts". It touches the variable when the guest was stopped. As a result, "now" timestamp is used only when the watchdog was not touched and the guest not stopped in the meantime. "period_ts" is restarted in all other situations.

do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with a stack local address. The sender (do_mq_timedsend) uses this address to later call pipelined_send. This leads to a very hard to trigger race where a do_mq_timedreceive call might return and leave do_mq_timedsend to rely on an invalid address, causing the following crash: RIP: 0010:wake_q_add_safe+0x13/0x60 Call Trace: __x64_sys_mq_timedsend+0x2a9/0x490 do_syscall_64+0x80/0x680 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 RIP: 0033:0x7f5928e40343 The race occurs as: 1. do_mq_timedreceive calls wq_sleep with the address of `struct ext_wait_queue` on function stack (aliased as `ewq_addr` here) - it holds a valid `struct ext_wait_queue *` as long as the stack has not been overwritten. 2. `ewq_addr` gets added to info->e_wait_q[RECV].list in wq_add, and do_mq_timedsend receives it via wq_get_first_waiter(info, RECV) to call __pipelined_op. 3. Sender calls __pipelined_op::smp_store_release(&this->state, STATE_READY). Here is where the race window begins. (`this` is `ewq_addr`.) 4. If the receiver wakes up now in do_mq_timedreceive::wq_sleep, it will see `state == STATE_READY` and break. 5. do_mq_timedreceive returns, and `ewq_addr` is no longer guaranteed to be a `struct ext_wait_queue *` since it was on do_mq_timedreceive's stack. (Although the address may not get overwritten until another function happens to touch it, which means it can persist around for an indefinite time.) 6. do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() still believes `ewq_addr` is a `struct ext_wait_queue *`, and uses it to find a task_struct to pass to the wake_q_add_safe call. In the lucky case where nothing has overwritten `ewq_addr` yet, `ewq_addr->task` is the right task_struct. In the unlucky case, __pipelined_op::wake_q_add_safe gets handed a bogus address as the receiver's task_struct causing the crash. do_mq_timedsend::__pipelined_op() should not dereference `this` after setting STATE_READY, as the receiver counterpart is now free to return. Change __pipelined_op to call wake_q_add_safe on the receiver's task_struct returned by get_task_struct, instead of dereferencing `this` which sits on the receiver's stack. As Manfred pointed out, the race potentially also exists in ipc/msg.c::expunge_all and ipc/sem.c::wake_up_sem_queue_prepare. Fix those in the same way.

While reviewing [1] I came across commit d3378e86 ("mm/gup: check page posion status for coredump.") and noticed that this patch is broken in two ways. First it doesn't really prevent hwpoison pages from being dumped because hwpoison pages can be marked asynchornously at any time after the check. Secondly, and more importantly, the patch introduces a ref count leak because get_dump_page takes a reference on the page which is not released. It also seems that the patch was merged incorrectly because there were follow up changes not included as well as discussions on how to address the underlying problem [2] Therefore revert the original patch.

clang sometimes decides not to inline shuffle_zone(), but it calls a __meminit function. Without the extra __meminit annotation we get this warning: WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2a86d4): Section mismatch in reference from the function shuffle_zone() to the function .meminit.text:__shuffle_zone() The function shuffle_zone() references the function __meminit __shuffle_zone(). This is often because shuffle_zone lacks a __meminit annotation or the annotation of __shuffle_zone is wrong. shuffle_free_memory() did not show the same problem in my tests, but it could happen in theory as well, so mark both as __meminit.
