Merge tag 'pci-v6.16-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pci/pci
Pull pci updates from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Enumeration:
- Print the actual delay time in pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus()
instead of assuming it was 1000ms (Wilfred Mallawa)
- Revert 'iommu/amd: Prevent binding other PCI drivers to IOMMU PCI
devices', which broke resume from system sleep on AMD platforms and
has been fixed by other commits (Lukas Wunner)
Resource management:
- Remove mtip32xx use of pcim_iounmap_regions(), which is deprecated
and unnecessary (Philipp Stanner)
- Remove pcim_iounmap_regions() and pcim_request_region_exclusive()
and related flags since all uses have been removed (Philipp
Stanner)
- Rework devres 'request' functions so they are no longer 'hybrid',
i.e., their behavior no longer depends on whether
pcim_enable_device or pci_enable_device() was used, and remove
related code (Philipp Stanner)
- Warn (not BUG()) about failure to assign optional resources (Ilpo
Järvinen)
Error handling:
- Log the DPC Error Source ID only when it's actually valid (when
ERR_FATAL or ERR_NONFATAL was received from a downstream device)
and decode into bus/device/function (Bjorn Helgaas)
- Determine AER log level once and save it so all related messages
use the same level (Karolina Stolarek)
- Use KERN_WARNING, not KERN_ERR, when logging PCIe Correctable
Errors (Karolina Stolarek)
- Ratelimit PCIe Correctable and Non-Fatal error logging, with sysfs
controls on interval and burst count, to avoid flooding logs and
RCU stall warnings (Jon Pan-Doh)
Power management:
- Increment PM usage counter when probing reset methods so we don't
try to read config space of a powered-off device (Alex Williamson)
- Set all devices to D0 during enumeration to ensure ACPI opregion is
connected via _REG (Mario Limonciello)
Power control:
- Rename pwrctrl Kconfig symbols from 'PWRCTL' to 'PWRCTRL' to match
the filename paths. Retain old deprecated symbols for
compatibility, except for the pwrctrl slot driver
(PCI_PWRCTRL_SLOT) (Johan Hovold)
- When unregistering pwrctrl, cancel outstanding rescan work before
cleaning up data structures to avoid use-after-free issues (Brian
Norris)
Bandwidth control:
- Simplify link bandwidth controller by replacing the count of Link
Bandwidth Management Status (LBMS) events with a PCI_LINK_LBMS_SEEN
flag (Ilpo Järvinen)
- Update the Link Speed after retraining, since the Link Speed may
have changed (Ilpo Järvinen)
PCIe native device hotplug:
- Ignore Presence Detect Changed caused by DPC.
pciehp already ignores Link Down/Up events caused by DPC, but on
slots using in-band presence detect, DPC causes a spurious Presence
Detect Changed event (Lukas Wunner)
- Ignore Link Down/Up caused by Secondary Bus Reset.
On hotplug ports using in-band presence detect, the reset causes a
Presence Detect Changed event, which mistakenly caused teardown and
re-enumeration of the device. Drivers may need to annotate code
that resets their device (Lukas Wunner)
Virtualization:
- Add an ACS quirk for Loongson Root Ports that don't advertise ACS
but don't allow peer-to-peer transactions between Root Ports; the
quirk allows each Root Port to be in a separate IOMMU group (Huacai
Chen)
Endpoint framework:
- For fixed-size BARs, retain both the actual size and the possibly
larger size allocated to accommodate iATU alignment requirements
(Jerome Brunet)
- Simplify ctrl/SPAD space allocation and avoid allocating more space
than needed (Jerome Brunet)
- Correct MSI-X PBA offset calculations for DesignWare and Cadence
endpoint controllers (Niklas Cassel)
- Align the return value (number of interrupts) encoding for
pci_epc_get_msi()/pci_epc_ops::get_msi() and
pci_epc_get_msix()/pci_epc_ops::get_msix() (Niklas Cassel)
- Align the nr_irqs parameter encoding for
pci_epc_set_msi()/pci_epc_ops::set_msi() and
pci_epc_set_msix()/pci_epc_ops::set_msix() (Niklas Cassel)
Common host controller library:
- Convert pci-host-common to a library so platforms that don't need
native host controller drivers don't need to include these helper
functions (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
Apple PCIe controller driver:
- Extract ECAM bridge creation helper from pci_host_common_probe() to
separate driver-specific things like MSI from PCI things (Marc
Zyngier)
- Dynamically allocate RID-to_SID bitmap to prepare for SoCs with
varying capabilities (Marc Zyngier)
- Skip ports disabled in DT when setting up ports (Janne Grunau)
- Add t6020 compatible string (Alyssa Rosenzweig)
- Add T602x PCIe support (Hector Martin)
- Directly set/clear INTx mask bits because T602x dropped the
accessors that could do this without locking (Marc Zyngier)
- Move port PHY registers to their own reg items to accommodate
T602x, which moves them around; retain default offsets for existing
DTs that lack phy%d entries with the reg offsets (Hector Martin)
- Stop polling for core refclk, which doesn't work on T602x and the
bootloader has already done anyway (Hector Martin)
- Use gpiod_set_value_cansleep() when asserting PERST# in probe
because we're allowed to sleep there (Hector Martin)
Cadence PCIe controller driver:
- Drop a runtime PM 'put' to resolve a runtime atomic count underflow
(Hans Zhang)
- Make the cadence core buildable as a module (Kishon Vijay Abraham I)
- Add cdns_pcie_host_disable() and cdns_pcie_ep_disable() for use by
loadable drivers when they are removed (Siddharth Vadapalli)
Freescale i.MX6 PCIe controller driver:
- Apply link training workaround only on IMX6Q, IMX6SX, IMX6SP
(Richard Zhu)
- Remove redundant dw_pcie_wait_for_link() from
imx_pcie_start_link(); since the DWC core does this, imx6 only
needs it when retraining for a faster link speed (Richard Zhu)
- Toggle i.MX95 core reset to align with PHY powerup (Richard Zhu)
- Set SYS_AUX_PWR_DET to work around i.MX95 ERR051624 erratum: in
some cases, the controller can't exit 'L23 Ready' through Beacon or
PERST# deassertion (Richard Zhu)
- Clear GEN3_ZRXDC_NONCOMPL to work around i.MX95 ERR051586 erratum:
controller can't meet 2.5 GT/s ZRX-DC timing when operating at 8
GT/s, causing timeouts in L1 (Richard Zhu)
- Wait for i.MX95 PLL lock before enabling controller (Richard Zhu)
- Save/restore i.MX95 LUT for suspend/resume (Richard Zhu)
Mobiveil PCIe controller driver:
- Return bool (not int) for link-up check in
mobiveil_pab_ops.link_up() and layerscape-gen4, mobiveil (Hans
Zhang)
NVIDIA Tegra194 PCIe controller driver:
- Create debugfs directory for 'aspm_state_cnt' only when
CONFIG_PCIEASPM is enabled, since there are no other entries (Hans
Zhang)
Qualcomm PCIe controller driver:
- Add OF support for parsing DT 'eq-presets-<N>gts' property for lane
equalization presets (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)
- Read Maximum Link Width from the Link Capabilities register if DT
lacks 'num-lanes' property (Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)
- Add Physical Layer 64 GT/s Capability ID and register offsets for
8, 32, and 64 GT/s lane equalization registers (Krishna Chaitanya
Chundru)
- Add generic dwc support for configuring lane equalization presets
(Krishna Chaitanya Chundru)
- Add DT and driver support for PCIe on IPQ5018 SoC (Nitheesh Sekar)
Renesas R-Car PCIe controller driver:
- Describe endpoint BAR 4 as being fixed size (Jerome Brunet)
- Document how to obtain R-Car V4H (r8a779g0) controller firmware
(Yoshihiro Shimoda)
Rockchip PCIe controller driver:
- Reorder rockchip_pci_core_rsts because
reset_control_bulk_deassert() deasserts in reverse order, to fix a
link training regression (Jensen Huang)
- Mark RK3399 as being capable of raising INTx interrupts (Niklas
Cassel)
Rockchip DesignWare PCIe controller driver:
- Check only PCIE_LINKUP, not LTSSM status, to determine whether the
link is up (Shawn Lin)
- Increase N_FTS (used in L0s->L0 transitions) and enable ASPM L0s
for Root Complex and Endpoint modes (Shawn Lin)
- Hide the broken ATS Capability in rockchip_pcie_ep_init() instead
of rockchip_pcie_ep_pre_init() so it stays hidden after PERST#
resets non-sticky registers (Shawn Lin)
- Call phy_power_off() before phy_exit() in rockchip_pcie_phy_deinit()
(Diederik de Haas)
Synopsys DesignWare PCIe controller driver:
- Set PORT_LOGIC_LINK_WIDTH to one lane to make initial link training
more robust; this will not affect the intended link width if all
lanes are functional (Wenbin Yao)
- Return bool (not int) for link-up check in dw_pcie_ops.link_up()
and armada8k, dra7xx, dw-rockchip, exynos, histb, keembay,
keystone, kirin, meson, qcom, qcom-ep, rcar_gen4, spear13xx,
tegra194, uniphier, visconti (Hans Zhang)
- Add debugfs support for exposing DWC device-specific PTM context
(Manivannan Sadhasivam)
TI J721E PCIe driver:
- Make j721e buildable as a loadable and removable module (Siddharth
Vadapalli)
- Fix j721e host/endpoint dependencies that result in link failures
in some configs (Arnd Bergmann)
Device tree bindings:
- Add qcom DT binding for 'global' interrupt (PCIe controller and
link-specific events) for ipq8074, ipq8074-gen3, ipq6018, sa8775p,
sc7280, sc8180x sdm845, sm8150, sm8250, sm8350 (Manivannan
Sadhasivam)
- Add qcom DT binding for 8 MSI SPI interrupts for msm8998, ipq8074,
ipq8074-gen3, ipq6018 (Manivannan Sadhasivam)
- Add dw rockchip DT binding for rk3576 and rk3562 (Kever Yang)
- Correct indentation and style of examples in brcm,stb-pcie,
cdns,cdns-pcie-ep, intel,keembay-pcie-ep, intel,keembay-pcie,
microchip,pcie-host, rcar-pci-ep, rcar-pci-host, xilinx-versal-cpm
(Krzysztof Kozlowski)
- Convert Marvell EBU (dove, kirkwood, armada-370, armada-xp) and
armada8k from text to schema DT bindings (Rob Herring)
- Remove obsolete .txt DT bindings for content that has been moved to
schemas (Rob Herring)
- Add qcom DT binding for MHI registers in IPQ5332, IPQ6018, IPQ8074
and IPQ9574 (Varadarajan Narayanan)
- Convert v3,v360epc-pci from text to DT schema binding (Rob Herring)
- Change microchip,pcie-host DT binding to be 'dma-noncoherent' since
PolarFire may be configured that way (Conor Dooley)
Miscellaneous:
- Drop 'pci' suffix from intel_mid_pci.c filename to match similar
files (Andy Shevchenko)
- All platforms with PCI have an MMU, so add PCI Kconfig dependency
on MMU to simplify build testing and avoid inadvertent build
regressions (Arnd Bergmann)

Patch series "zram: support algorithm-specific parameters".
This patchset adds support for algorithm-specific parameters. For now,
only deflate-specific winbits can be configured, which fixes deflate
support on some s390 setups.
This patch (of 2):
Use more generic name because this will be default "un-set"

simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a
folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must
implement to provide this.
- The 8 patch series "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox
is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which
clean things up and better prepare us for future work.
- The 3 patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment
advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from
leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not
aligned to memory block size.
- The 2 patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive
compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly,
hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation
of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest
VM's memory consumption was dramatic.
- The 8 patch series "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing
code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency
improvement to this part of our swap handling code.
- The 6 patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API"
from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls
arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that
are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number,
syscall arguments, and syscall return value.
This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM"
branch, but I goofed.
- The 3 patch series "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report
guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the
PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more
efficiently get at the info about guard regions.
- The 2 patch series "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()"
from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected
because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.
- The 3 patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode()
rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into
the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in
favor of using more current facilities.
- The 3 patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64"
from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the
pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table
Descriptors are enabled for ARM.
- The 12 patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables"
from Kevin Brodsky "ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for
kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables". This permits the
addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page
tables". This change does result in various architectures performing
unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur.
- The 9 patch series "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and
mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM
structures.
- The 3 patch series "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges"
from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities
which we've been missing for 15 years.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED
and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB
flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec,
we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost
was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to

creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces
the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide
this.
- "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of
largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up
and better prepare us for future work.

Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical
memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory
block size.
- "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from
Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more
sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive
compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's
memory consumption was dramatic.
- "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng
Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to
this part of our swap handling code.
- "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin
adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this

strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall
arguments, and syscall return value.

branch, but I goofed.
- "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from
Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl
against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get

- "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan
implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because
validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error.

Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current
decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of
using more current facilities.

enabled for ARM.
- "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky
ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as
it already is for user pgtables.
This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks

architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where
it is anticipated to occur.

Currently, ublk_drv associates to each hardware queue (hctx) a unique
task (called the queue's ubq_daemon) which is allowed to issue
COMMIT_AND_FETCH commands against the hctx. If any other task attempts
to do so, the command fails immediately with EINVAL. When considered
together with the block layer architecture, the result is that for each
CPU C on the system, there is a unique ublk server thread which is
allowed to handle I/O submitted on CPU C. This can lead to suboptimal
performance under imbalanced load generation. For an extreme example,
suppose all the load is generated on CPUs mapping to a single ublk
server thread. Then that thread may be fully utilized and become the
bottleneck in the system, while other ublk server threads are totally
idle.
This issue can also be addressed directly in the ublk server without
kernel support by having threads dequeue I/Os and pass them around to
ensure even load. But this solution requires inter-thread communication
at least twice for each I/O (submission and completion), which is
generally a bad pattern for performance. The problem gets even worse
with zero copy, as more inter-thread communication would be required to
have the buffer register/unregister calls to come from the correct
thread.
Therefore, address this issue in ublk_drv by allowing each I/O to have
its own daemon task. Two I/Os in the same queue are now allowed to be
serviced by different daemon tasks - this was not possible before.
Imbalanced load can then be balanced across all ublk server threads by
having the ublk server threads issue FETCH_REQs in a round-robin manner.
As a small toy example, consider a system with a single ublk device
having 2 queues, each of depth 4. A ublk server having 4 threads could
issue its FETCH_REQs against this device as follows (where each entry is
the qid,tag pair that the FETCH_REQ targets):
ublk server thread: T0 T1 T2 T3
0,0 0,1 0,2 0,3
1,3 1,0 1,1 1,2
This setup allows for load that is concentrated on one hctx/ublk_queue
to be spread out across all ublk server threads, alleviating the issue
described above.
Add the new UBLK_F_PER_IO_DAEMON feature to ublk_drv, which ublk servers
can use to essentially test for the presence of this change and tailor
their behavior accordingly.

For UBLK_F_AUTO_BUF_REG, buffer is registered to uring_cmd context
automatically with the provided buffer index. User may provide one wrong
buffer index, or the specified buffer is registered by application already.
Add UBLK_AUTO_BUF_REG_FALLBACK for supporting to auto buffer registering
fallback by completing the uring_cmd and telling ublk server the
register failure via UBLK_AUTO_BUF_REG_FALLBACK, then ublk server still
can register the buffer from userspace.
So we can provide reliable way for supporting auto buffer register.

`struct ublk_auto_buf_reg` is populated from ublk uring_cmd's sqe->addr,

UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY requires ublk server to issue explicit buffer
register/unregister uring_cmd for each IO, this way is not only inefficient,
but also introduce dependency between buffer consumer and buffer register/
unregister uring_cmd, please see tools/testing/selftests/ublk/stripe.c
in which backing file IO has to be issued one by one by IOSQE_IO_LINK.
Prepare for adding feature UBLK_F_AUTO_BUF_REG for addressing the existing
zero copy limitation:
- register request buffer automatically to ublk uring_cmd's io_uring
context before delivering io command to ublk server
- unregister request buffer automatically from the ublk uring_cmd's
io_uring context when completing the request
- io_uring will unregister the buffer automatically when uring is
exiting, so we needn't worry about accident exit
For using this feature, ublk server has to create one sparse buffer table

f40139fde5 ("ublk: fix race between io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task and
ublk_cancel_cmd")
adds a request state check in ublk_cancel_cmd(), and if the request is
started, skips canceling this uring_cmd.
However, the current uring_cmd may be in ACTIVE state, without block
request coming to the uring command. Meantime, if the cached request in
tag_set.tags[tag] has been delivered to ublk server and reycycled, then
this uring_cmd can't be canceled.
ublk requests are aborted in ublk char device release handler, which
depends on canceling all ACTIVE uring_cmd. So it causes a dead loop.
Fix this issue by not taking a stale request into account when canceling
uring_cmd in ublk_cancel_cmd().

The writeback interface supports a page_index=N parameter which performs
writeback of the given page. Since we rarely need to writeback just one
single page, the typical use case involves a number of writeback calls,
each performing writeback of one page:
echo page_index=100 > zram0/writeback
...
echo page_index=200 > zram0/writeback
echo page_index=500 > zram0/writeback
...
echo page_index=700 > zram0/writeback
One obvious downside of this is that it increases the number of syscalls.
Less obvious, but a significantly more important downside, is that when
given only one page to post-process zram cannot perform an optimal target
selection. This becomes a critical limitation when writeback_limit is
enabled, because under writeback_limit we want to guarantee the highest
memory savings hence we first need to writeback pages that release the
highest amount of zsmalloc pool memory.
This patch adds page_indexes=LOW-HIGH parameter to the writeback
interface:
echo page_indexes=100-200 page_indexes=500-700 > zram0/writeback
This gives zram a chance to apply an optimal target selection strategy on
each iteration of the writeback loop.
We also now permit multiple page_index parameters per call (previously
zram would recognize only one page_index) and a mix or single pages and
page ranges:
echo page_index=42 page_index=99 page_indexes=100-200 \
page_indexes=500-700 > zram0/writeback
Apart from that the patch also unifies parameters passing and resembles
other "modern" zram device attributes (e.g. recompression), while the old
interface used a mixed scheme: values-less parameters for mode and a
key=value format for page_index. We still support the "old" value-less
format for compatibility reasons.

Currently, zsmalloc, zswap's and zram's backend memory allocator, does not
enforce any policy for the allocation of memory for the compressed data,
instead just adopting the memory policy of the task entering reclaim, or
the default policy (prefer local node) if no such policy is specified.
This can lead to several pathological behaviors in multi-node NUMA
systems:
1. Systems with CXL-based memory tiering can encounter the following
inversion with zswap/zram: the coldest pages demoted to the CXL tier
can return to the high tier when they are reclaimed to compressed swap,
creating memory pressure on the high tier.
2. Consider a direct reclaimer scanning nodes in order of allocation
preference. If it ventures into remote nodes, the memory it compresses
there should stay there. Trying to shift those contents over to the
reclaiming thread's preferred node further *increases* its local
pressure, and provoking more spills. The remote node is also the most
likely to refault this data again. This undesirable behavior was
pointed out by Johannes Weiner in [1].
3. For zswap writeback, the zswap entries are organized in
node-specific LRUs, based on the node placement of the original pages,
allowing for targeted zswap writeback for specific nodes.
However, the compressed data of a zswap entry can be placed on a
different node from the LRU it is placed on. This means that reclaim
targeted at one node might not free up memory used for zswap entries in
that node, but instead reclaiming memory in a different node.
All of these issues will be resolved if the compressed data go to the same
node as the original page. This patch encourages this behavior by having
zswap and zram pass the node of the original page to zsmalloc, and have
zsmalloc prefer the specified node if we need to allocate new (zs)pages
for the compressed data.
Note that we are not strictly binding the allocation to the preferred
node. We still allow the allocation to fall back to other nodes when the
preferred node is full, or if we have zspages with slots available on a
different node. This is OK, and still a strict improvement over the
status quo:
1. On a system with demotion enabled, we will generally prefer
demotions over compressed swapping, and only swap when pages have
already gone to the lowest tier. This patch should achieve the desired
effect for the most part.
2. If the preferred node is out of memory, letting the compressed data
going to other nodes can be better than the alternative (OOMs, keeping
cold memory unreclaimed, disk swapping, etc.).
3. If the allocation go to a separate node because we have a zspage
with slots available, at least we're not creating extra immediate
memory pressure (since the space is already allocated).
3. While there can be mixings, we generally reclaim pages in same-node
batches, which encourage zspage grouping that is more likely to go to
the right node.
4. A strict binding would require partitioning zsmalloc by node, which
is more complicated, and more prone to regression, since it reduces the
storage density of zsmalloc. We need to evaluate the tradeoff and
benchmark carefully before adopting such an involved solution.

A ublk_io is converted to a request in several places in the I/O path by
using blk_mq_tag_to_rq() to look up the (qid, tag) on the ublk device's
tagset. This involves a bunch of dereferences and a tag bounds check.
To make this conversion cheaper, store the request pointer in ublk_io.
Overlap this storage with the io_uring_cmd pointer. This is safe because
the io_uring_cmd pointer is only valid if UBLK_IO_FLAG_ACTIVE is set on
the ublk_io, the request pointer is valid if UBLK_IO_FLAG_OWNED_BY_SRV,
and these flags are mutually exclusive.

ublk_abort_queue() currently checks whether the UBLK_IO_FLAG_ACTIVE flag
is cleared to tell whether to abort each ublk_io in the queue. But it's
possible for a ublk_io to not be ACTIVE but also not have a request in
flight, such as when no fetch request has yet been submitted for a tag
or when a fetch request is cancelled. So ublk_abort_queue() must
additionally check for an inflight request.
Simplify this code by checking for UBLK_IO_FLAG_OWNED_BY_SRV instead,
which indicates precisely whether a request is currently inflight.

ublk_dispatch_req() currently handles 3 different cases: incoming ublk
requests that don't need to wait for a data buffer, incoming requests
that do need to wait for a buffer, and resuming those requests once the
buffer is provided. But the call site that provides a data buffer
(UBLK_IO_NEED_GET_DATA) is separate from those for incoming requests.
So simplify the function by splitting the UBLK_IO_NEED_GET_DATA case
into its own function ublk_get_data(). This avoids several redundant
checks in the UBLK_IO_NEED_GET_DATA case, and streamlines the incoming
request cases.
Don't call ublk_fill_io_cmd() for UBLK_IO_NEED_GET_DATA, as it's no
longer necessary to set io->cmd or the UBLK_IO_FLAG_ACTIVE flag for
ublk_dispatch_req().
Since UBLK_IO_NEED_GET_DATA no longer relies on ublk_dispatch_req()
calling io_uring_cmd_done(), return the UBLK_IO_RES_OK status directly
from the ->uring_cmd() handler. If ublk_start_io() fails, don't complete

ublk_get_iod() doesn't modify the struct ublk_queue it is passed.
Clarify that by making the argument a const pointer.
Move the function definition earlier in the file so it doesn't need a
forward declaration.

ubq_complete_io_cmd() doesn't interact with a ublk queue, so "ubq" in
the name is confusing. Most likely "ubq" was meant to be "ublk".

Move the logic for the UBLK_IO_COMMIT_AND_FETCH_REQ opcode into its own
function. This also allows us to mark ublk_queue pointers as const for
that operation, which can help prevent data races since we may allow
concurrent operation on one ublk_queue in the future. Also open code
ublk_commit_completion in ublk_commit_and_fetch to reduce the number of
parameters/avoid a redundant lookup.

Introduce the zoned_loop.rst documentation file under
admin-guide/blockdev to document the zoned loop block device driver.
An overview of the driver is provided and its usage to create and delete
zoned devices described.

The zoned loop block device driver allows a user to create emulated
zoned block devices using one regular file per zone as backing storage.
Compared to null_blk or scsi_debug, it has the advantage of allowing
emulating large zoned devices without requiring the same amount of
memory as the capacity of the emulated device. Furthermore, zoned
devices emulated with this driver can be re-started after a host reboot
without any loss of the state of the device zones, which is something
that null_blk and scsi_debug do not support.
This initial implementation is simple and does not support zone resource
limits. That is, a zoned loop block device limits for the maximum number
of open zones and maximum number of active zones is always 0.
This driver can be either compiled in-kernel or as a module, named
"zloop". Compilation of this driver depends on the block layer support
for zoned block device (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED must be set).
Using the zloop driver to create and delete zoned block devices is
done by writing commands to the zoned loop control character device file
(/dev/zloop-control). Creating a device is done with:
$ echo "add [options]" > /dev/zloop-control
The options available for the "add" operation cat be listed by reading
the zloop-control device file:
$ cat /dev/zloop-control
add id=%d,capacity_mb=%u,zone_size_mb=%u,zone_capacity_mb=%u,conv_zones=%u,base_dir=%s,nr_queues=%u,queue_depth=%u
remove id=%d
The options available allow controlling the zoned device total
capacity, zone size, zone capactity of sequential zones, total number
of conventional zones, base directory for the zones backing file, number
of I/O queues and the maximum queue depth of I/O queues.
Deleting a device is done using the "remove" command:
$ echo "remove id=0" > /dev/zloop-control
This implementation passes various tests using zonefs and fio (t/zbd
tests) and provides a state machine for zone conditions that is
compliant with the T10 ZBC and NVMe ZNS specifications.

__ublk_check_and_get_req() is only called from ublk_check_and_get_req()
and ublk_register_io_buf(), the same check has been covered in the two
calling sites.
So remove the check from __ublk_check_and_get_req().

The simple check of UBLK_IO_FLAG_OWNED_BY_SRV can avoid incorrect
register/unregister io buffer easily, so check it before calling
starting to register/un-register io buffer.
Also only allow io buffer register/unregister uring_cmd in case of
UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY.
Also mark argument 'ublk_queue *' of ublk_register_io_buf as const.

UBLK_F_USER_COPY and UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY are two different
features, and shouldn't be coupled together.
Commit 1f6540e2aa ("ublk: zc register/unregister bvec") enables
user copy automatically in case of UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY, this way
isn't correct.
So decouple zero copy from user copy, and use independent helper to
check each one.

Use the proper helpers to copy to/from potential highmem pages, which
do a local instead of atomic kmap underneath, and perform
flush_dcache_page where needed. This also simplifies the code so much
that the separate read write helpers are not required any more.
