Eric Biggers d206f79d9c blk-mq: release crypto keyslot before reporting I/O complete
commit 9cd1e56667 upstream.

Once all I/O using a blk_crypto_key has completed, filesystems can call
blk_crypto_evict_key().  However, the block layer currently doesn't call
blk_crypto_put_keyslot() until the request is being freed, which happens
after upper layers have been told (via bio_endio()) the I/O has
completed.  This causes a race condition where blk_crypto_evict_key()
can see 'slot_refs != 0' without there being an actual bug.

This makes __blk_crypto_evict_key() hit the
'WARN_ON_ONCE(atomic_read(&slot->slot_refs) != 0)' and return without
doing anything, eventually causing a use-after-free in
blk_crypto_reprogram_all_keys().  (This is a very rare bug and has only
been seen when per-file keys are being used with fscrypt.)

There are two options to fix this: either release the keyslot before
bio_endio() is called on the request's last bio, or make
__blk_crypto_evict_key() ignore slot_refs.  Let's go with the first
solution, since it preserves the ability to report bugs (via
WARN_ON_ONCE) where a key is evicted while still in-use.

Jens Axboe b7b9bc9305 block: don't allow splitting of a REQ_NOWAIT bio
commit 9cea62b2cb upstream.

If we split a bio marked with REQ_NOWAIT, then we can trigger spurious
EAGAIN if constituent parts of that split bio end up failing request
allocations. Parts will complete just fine, but just a single failure
in one of the chained bios will yield an EAGAIN final result for the
parent bio.

Return EAGAIN early if we end up needing to split such a bio, which
allows for saner recovery handling.

Tejun Heo 2e76c69c85 block: don't merge across cgroup boundaries if blkcg is enabled
commit 6b2b04590b upstream.

blk-iocost and iolatency are cgroup aware rq-qos policies but they didn't
disable merges across different cgroups. This obviously can lead to
accounting and control errors but more importantly to priority inversions -
e.g. an IO which belongs to a higher priority cgroup or IO class may end up
getting throttled incorrectly because it gets merged to an IO issued from a
low priority cgroup.

Fix it by adding blk_cgroup_mergeable() which is called from merge paths and
rejects cross-cgroup and cross-issue_as_root merges.

Chunguang Xu 4f1e9630af blk-throtl: optimize IOPS throttle for large IO scenarios
After patch 54efd50 (block: make generic_make_request handle
arbitrarily sized bios), the IO through io-throttle may be larger,
and these IOs may be further split into more small IOs. However,
IOPS throttle does not seem to be aware of this change, which
makes the calculation of IOPS of large IOs incomplete, resulting
in disk-side IOPS that does not meet expectations. Maybe we should
fix this problem.

We can reproduce it by set max_sectors_kb of disk to 128, set
blkio.write_iops_throttle to 100, run a dd instance inside blkio
and use iostat to watch IOPS:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M count=1000 oflag=direct

As a result, without this change the average IOPS is 1995, with
this change the IOPS is 98.

Ming Lei 2705dfb209 block: fix discard request merge
ll_new_hw_segment() is reached only in case of single range discard
merge, and we don't have max discard segment size limit actually, so
it is wrong to run the following check:

if (req->nr_phys_segments + nr_phys_segs > blk_rq_get_max_segments(req))

it may be always false since req->nr_phys_segments is initialized as
one, and bio's segment count is still 1, blk_rq_get_max_segments(reg)
is 1 too.

Fix the issue by not doing the check and bypassing the calculation of
discard request's nr_phys_segments.

David Jeffery a958937ff1 block: recalculate segment count for multi-segment discards correctly
When a stacked block device inserts a request into another block device
using blk_insert_cloned_request, the request's nr_phys_segments field gets
recalculated by a call to blk_recalc_rq_segments in
blk_cloned_rq_check_limits. But blk_recalc_rq_segments does not know how to
handle multi-segment discards. For disk types which can handle
multi-segment discards like nvme, this results in discard requests which
claim a single segment when it should report several, triggering a warning
in nvme and causing nvme to fail the discard from the invalid state.

Jeffle Xu cc29e1bf0d block: disable iopoll for split bio
iopoll is initially for small size, latency sensitive IO. It doesn't
work well for big IO, especially when it needs to be split to multiple
bios. In this case, the returned cookie of __submit_bio_noacct_mq() is
indeed the cookie of the last split bio. The completion of *this* last
split bio done by iopoll doesn't mean the whole original bio has
completed. Callers of iopoll still need to wait for completion of other
split bios.

Besides bio splitting may cause more trouble for iopoll which isn't
supposed to be used in case of big IO.

iopoll for split bio may cause potential race if CPU migration happens
during bio submission. Since the returned cookie is that of the last
split bio, polling on the corresponding hardware queue doesn't help
complete other split bios, if these split bios are enqueued into
different hardware queues. Since interrupts are disabled for polling
queues, the completion of these other split bios depends on timeout
mechanism, thus causing a potential hang.

iopoll for split bio may also cause hang for sync polling. Currently
both the blkdev and iomap-based fs (ext4/xfs, etc) support sync polling
in direct IO routine. These routines will submit bio without REQ_NOWAIT
flag set, and then start sync polling in current process context. The
process may hang in blk_mq_get_tag() if the submitted bio has to be
split into multiple bios and can rapidly exhaust the queue depth. The
process are waiting for the completion of the previously allocated
requests, which should be reaped by the following polling, and thus
causing a deadlock.

To avoid these subtle trouble described above, just disable iopoll for
split bio and return BLK_QC_T_NONE in this case. The side effect is that
non-HIPRI IO also returns BLK_QC_T_NONE now. It should be acceptable
since the returned cookie is never used for non-HIPRI IO.

Mike Snitzer 3ee16db390 dm: fix IO splitting
Commit 882ec4e609 ("dm table: stack 'chunk_sectors' limit to account
for target-specific splitting") caused a couple regressions:
1) Using lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors was a bug because
   chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the
   IO stack.
2) DM targets that set max_io_len but that do _not_ provide an
   .iterate_devices method no longer had there IO split properly.

And commit 5091cdec56 ("dm: change max_io_len() to use
blk_max_size_offset()") also caused a regression where DM no longer
supported varied (per target) IO splitting. The implication being the
potential for severely reduced performance for IO stacks that use a DM
target like dm-cache to hide performance limitations of a slower
device (e.g. one that requires 4K IO splitting).

Coming full circle: Fix all these issues by discontinuing stacking
chunk_sectors up using ti->max_io_len in dm_calculate_queue_limits(),
add optional chunk_sectors override argument to blk_max_size_offset()
and update DM's max_io_len() to pass ti->max_io_len to its
blk_max_size_offset() call.

Passing in an optional chunk_sectors override to blk_max_size_offset()
allows for code reuse of block's centralized calculation for max IO
size based on provided offset and split boundary.

Kees Cook 3f649ab728 treewide: Remove uninitialized_var() usage
Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings
(e.g. "unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized,
either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes.

In preparation for removing[2] the[3] macro[4], remove all remaining
needless uses with the following script:

git grep '\buninitialized_var\b' | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u | \
	xargs perl -pi -e \
		's/\buninitialized_var\(([^\)]+)\)/\1/g;
		 s:\s*/\* (GCC be quiet|to make compiler happy) \*/$::g;'

drivers/video/fbdev/riva/riva_hw.c was manually tweaked to avoid
pathological white-space.

No outstanding warnings were found building allmodconfig with GCC 9.3.0
for x86_64, i386, arm64, arm, powerpc, powerpc64le, s390x, mips, sparc64,
alpha, and m68k.

and you can only guess (after quite some headscratching since the above

got merged to request 215023504+40. Provide proper event for request

Satya Tangirala a892c8d52c block: Inline encryption support for blk-mq
We must have some way of letting a storage device driver know what
encryption context it should use for en/decrypting a request. However,
it's the upper layers (like the filesystem/fscrypt) that know about and
manages encryption contexts. As such, when the upper layer submits a bio
to the block layer, and this bio eventually reaches a device driver with
support for inline encryption, the device driver will need to have been
told the encryption context for that bio.

We want to communicate the encryption context from the upper layer to the
storage device along with the bio, when the bio is submitted to the block
layer. To do this, we add a struct bio_crypt_ctx to struct bio, which can
represent an encryption context (note that we can't use the bi_private
field in struct bio to do this because that field does not function to pass
information across layers in the storage stack). We also introduce various
functions to manipulate the bio_crypt_ctx and make the bio/request merging
logic aware of the bio_crypt_ctx.

We also make changes to blk-mq to make it handle bios with encryption
contexts. blk-mq can merge many bios into the same request. These bios need
to have contiguous data unit numbers (the necessary changes to blk-merge
are also made to ensure this) - as such, it suffices to keep the data unit
number of just the first bio, since that's all a storage driver needs to
infer the data unit number to use for each data block in each bio in a
request. blk-mq keeps track of the encryption context to be used for all
the bios in a request with the request's rq_crypt_ctx. When the first bio
is added to an empty request, blk-mq will program the encryption context
of that bio into the request_queue's keyslot manager, and store the
returned keyslot in the request's rq_crypt_ctx. All the functions to
operate on encryption contexts are in blk-crypto.c.

Upper layers only need to call bio_crypt_set_ctx with the encryption key,
algorithm and data_unit_num; they don't have to worry about getting a
keyslot for each encryption context, as blk-mq/blk-crypto handles that.
Blk-crypto also makes it possible for request-based layered devices like
dm-rq to make use of inline encryption hardware by cloning the
rq_crypt_ctx and programming a keyslot in the new request_queue when
necessary.

Note that any user of the block layer can submit bios with an
encryption context, such as filesystems, device-mapper targets, etc.

Commit 429120f3df starts to take account of segment's start dma address

Ming Lei 429120f3df block: fix splitting segments on boundary masks
We ran into a problem with a mpt3sas based controller, where we would
see random (and hard to reproduce) file corruption). The issue seemed
specific to this controller, but wasn't specific to the file system.
After a lot of debugging, we find out that it's caused by segments
spanning a 4G memory boundary. This shouldn't happen, as the default
setting for segment boundary masks is 4G.

Turns out there are two issues in get_max_segment_size():

1) The default segment boundary mask is bypassed

2) The segment start address isn't taken into account when checking
   segment boundary limit

Fix these two issues by removing the bypass of the segment boundary
check even if the mask is set to the default value, and taking into
account the actual start address of the request when checking if a
segment needs splitting.

  non-aligned 68 KB bio.

The current behavior is to split such a bio into (16 KB + 16 KB + 16 KB
+ 16 KB + 4 KB). The start of none of these five bio's is aligned to a
physical block boundary.

This patch ensures that such a bio is split into four aligned and
one non-aligned bio instead of being split into five non-aligned bios.
This improves performance because most block devices can handle aligned
requests faster than non-aligned requests.

Since the physical block size is larger than or equal to the logical
block size, this patch preserves the guarantee that the returned
value is a multiple of the logical block size.

Bart Van Assche 708b25b344 block: Simplify blk_bio_segment_split()
Move the max_sectors check into bvec_split_segs() such that a single
call to that function can do all the necessary checks. This patch
optimizes the fast path further, namely if a bvec fits in a page.

Bart Van Assche ff9811b3cf block: Simplify bvec_split_segs()
Simplify this function by by removing two if-tests. Other than requiring
that the @sectors pointer is not NULL, this patch does not change the
behavior of bvec_split_segs().

Since what the bio splitting functions do is nontrivial, document these
functions.
