writeback code, and the implemementation of it, and all knowledge of
ioends and bios now sits below that layer.
- Add fuse iomap support for buffered writes and dirty folio writeback.
This is needed so that granular uptodate and dirty tracking can be
used in fuse when large folios are enabled. This has two big
advantages. For writes, instead of the entire folio needing to be
read into the page cache, only the relevant portions need to be. For
writeback, only the dirty portions need to be written back instead of
the entire folio.

Pull vfs 'protection info' updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds the new FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP ioctl() to query metadata and
protection info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information
about the files integrity profile. This is useful for userspace
applications to understand a files end-to-end data protection support
and configure the I/O accordingly.
For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the
design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us
to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when
filesystems start supporting PI-aware layouts.
A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which
contains the following fields:
- lbmd_flags:
bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags
- lbmd_interval:
the amount of data described by each unit of logical block metadata
- lbmd_size:
size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated with each
interval
- lbmd_opaque_size:
size in bytes of the opaque block tag associated with each interval
- lbmd_opaque_offset:
offset in bytes of the opaque block tag within the logical block
metadata
- lbmd_pi_size:
size in bytes of the T10 PI tuple associated with each interval
- lbmd_pi_offset:

- lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size:
size in bytes of the T10 PI reference tag
- lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size:
size in bytes of the T10 PI storage tag
The internal logic to fetch the capability is encapsulated in a helper
function blk_get_meta_cap(), which uses the blk_integrity profile
associated with the device. The ioctl returns -EOPNOTSUPP, if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is not enabled"

Pull mmap_prepare updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we introduce f_op->mmap_prepare() in c84bf6dd2b ("mm:
introduce new .mmap_prepare() file callback").
This is preferred to the existing f_op->mmap() hook as it does require
a VMA to be established yet, thus allowing the mmap logic to invoke
this hook far, far earlier, prior to inserting a VMA into the virtual
address space, or performing any other heavy handed operations.
This allows for much simpler unwinding on error, and for there to be a
single attempt at merging a VMA rather than having to possibly
reattempt a merge based on potentially altered VMA state.
Far more importantly, it prevents inappropriate manipulation of
incompletely initialised VMA state, which is something that has been
the cause of bugs and complexity in the past.
The intent is to gradually deprecate f_op->mmap, and in that vein this
series coverts the majority of file systems to using f_op->mmap_prepare.
Prerequisite steps are taken - firstly ensuring all checks for mmap
capabilities use the file_has_valid_mmap_hooks() helper rather than
directly checking for f_op->mmap (which is now not a valid check) and
secondly updating daxdev_mapping_supported() to not require a VMA
parameter to allow ext4 and xfs to be converted.
Commit bb666b7c27 ("mm: add mmap_prepare() compatibility layer for
nested file systems") handles the nasty edge-case of nested file
systems like overlayfs, which introduces a compatibility shim to allow
f_op->mmap_prepare() to be invoked from an f_op->mmap() callback.
This allows for nested filesystems to continue to function correctly
with all file systems regardless of which callback is used. Once we
finally convert all file systems, this shim can be removed.
As a result, ecryptfs, fuse, and overlayfs remain unaltered so they
can nest all other file systems.
We additionally do not update resctl - as this requires an update to
remap_pfn_range() (or an alternative to it) which we defer to a later
series, equally we do not update cramfs which needs a mixed mapping
insertion with the same issue, nor do we update procfs, hugetlbfs,
syfs or kernfs all of which require VMAs for internal state and hooks.
We shall return to all of these later"

Pull fallocate updates from Christian Brauner:
"fallocate() currently supports creating preallocated files
efficiently. However, on most filesystems fallocate() will preallocate
blocks in an unwriten state even if FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is specified.
The extent state must later be converted to a written state when the
user writes data into this range, which can trigger numerous metadata
changes and journal I/O. This may leads to significant write
amplification and performance degradation in synchronous write mode.
At the moment, the only method to avoid this is to create an empty
file and write zero data into it (for example, using 'dd' with a large
block size). However, this method is slow and consumes a considerable
amount of disk bandwidth.
Now that more and more flash-based storage devices are available it is
possible to efficiently write zeros to SSDs using the unmap write
zeroes command if the devices do not write physical zeroes to the
media.
For example, if SCSI SSDs support the UMMAP bit or NVMe SSDs support
the DEAC bit[1], the write zeroes command does not write actual data
to the device, instead, NVMe converts the zeroed range to a
deallocated state, which works fast and consumes almost no disk write
bandwidth.
This series implements the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP feature and
BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED flag for SCSI, NVMe and
device-mapper drivers, and add the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES and
STATX_ATTR_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP support for ext4 and raw bdev devices.
fallocate() is subsequently extended with the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES
flag. FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES zeroes a specified file range in such a
way that subsequent writes to that range do not require further
changes to the file mapping metadata. This flag is beneficial for
subsequent pure overwriting within this range, as it can save on block
allocation and, consequently, significant metadata changes"

"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Add ext4 IOCB_DONTCACHE support
This refactors the address_space_operations write_begin() and
write_end() callbacks to take const struct kiocb * as their first
argument, allowing IOCB flags such as IOCB_DONTCACHE to propagate
to the filesystem's buffered I/O path.
Ext4 is updated to implement handling of the IOCB_DONTCACHE flag
and advertises support via the FOP_DONTCACHE file operation flag.
Additionally, the i915 driver's shmem write paths are updated to
bypass the legacy write_begin/write_end interface in favor of
directly calling write_iter() with a constructed synchronous kiocb.
Another i915 change replaces a manual write loop with
kernel_write() during GEM shmem object creation.

The issue arises while we run nr_hw_queue update, Specifically, we first
reallocate hardware contexts (hctx) via __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs(), and
then later invoke elevator_switch() (assuming q->elevator is not NULL).
The elevator switch code would first exit old elevator (elevator_exit)
and then switches to the new elevator. The elevator_exit loops through
each hctx and invokes the elevator’s per-hctx exit method ->exit_hctx(),
which releases resources allocated during ->init_hctx().
This memleak manifests when we reduce the num of h/w queues - for example,
when the initial update sets the number of queues to X, and a later update
reduces it to Y, where Y < X. In this case, we'd loose the access to old
hctxs while we get to elevator exit code because __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs
would have already released the old hctxs. As we don't now have any
reference left to the old hctxs, we don't have any way to free the
scheduler resources (which are allocate in ->init_hctx()) and kmemleak
complains about it.
This issue was caused due to the commit 596dce110b ("block: simplify
elevator reattachment for updating nr_hw_queues"). That change unified
the two-stage elevator teardown and reattachment into a single call that
occurs after __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() has already freed the hctxs.
This patch restores the previous two-stage elevator switch logic during
nr_hw_queues updates. First, the elevator is switched to 'none', which
ensures all scheduler resources are properly freed. Then, the hardware
contexts (hctxs) are reallocated, and the software-to-hardware queue
mappings are updated. Finally, the original elevator is reattached. This
sequence prevents loss of references to old hctxs and avoids the scheduler
resource leaks reported by kmemleak.

The blk_get_meta_cap() implementation directly assigns bi->csum_type to
the UAPI field lbmd_guard_tag_type. This is not right as the kernel enum
blk_integrity_checksum values are not guaranteed to match the UAPI
defined values.
Fix this by explicitly mapping internal checksum types to UAPI-defined
constants to ensure compatibility and correctness, especially for the
devices using CRC64 PI.

During probe, when the block layer registers a request queue, it
defaults to the mq-deadline I/O scheduler if the device is single-queue
and the mq-deadline module is available. To determine availability, the
elevator_set_default() invokes elevator_find_get(), which increments the
module's reference count. However, this reference is never released,
resulting in a module reference leak that prevents the mq-deadline module
from being unloaded.
This patch fixes the issue by ensuring the acquired module reference is
properly released.

The atomic write unit max value is limited by any stacked device stripe
size.
It is required that the atomic write unit is a power-of-2 factor of the
stripe size.
Currently we use io_min limit to hold the stripe size, and check for a
io_min <= SECTOR_SIZE when deciding if we have a striped stacked device.
Nilay reports that this causes a problem when the physical block size is
greater than SECTOR_SIZE [0].
Furthermore, io_min may be mutated when stacking devices, and this makes
it a poor candidate to hold the stripe size. Such an example (of when
io_min may change) would be when the io_min is less than the physical
block size.
Use chunk_sectors to hold the stripe size, which is more appropriate.

Currently we just ensure that a non-zero value in chunk_sectors aligns
with any atomic write boundary, as the blk boundary functionality uses
both these values.
However it is also improper to have atomic write unit max > chunk_sectors
(for non-zero chunk_sectors), as this would lead to splitting of atomic

blk_zone_update_request_bio() does two things. First it checks if the
request to be completed was written via ZONE APPEND and if yes it then
updates the sector to the one that the data was written to.
This is small enough to be an inline function. But upcoming changes adding
a tracepoint don't work if the function is inlined.
Split the function into two, the first is blk_req_bio_is_zone_append()
checking if the sector needs to be updated. This can still be an inline
function. The second is blk_zone_append_update_request_bio() doing the
sector update.

- it must also queue up the I/O for writeback, that is called into the

each region
- can handle only a part of the requested region, that is the retry
loop for partial mappings moves to the caller
- handles cleanup on failures as well, and thus also replaces the

Add a new ioctl, FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP, to query metadata and protection
info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information about the files
integrity profile. This is useful for userspace applications to
understand a files end-to-end data protection support and configure the
I/O accordingly.
For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the
design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us
to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when
filesystems start supporting PI-aware layouts.
A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which
contains the following fields:
1. lbmd_flags: bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags
2. lbmd_interval: the amount of data described by each unit of logical
block metadata
3. lbmd_size: size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated
with each interval
4. lbmd_opaque_size: size in bytes of the opaque block tag associated
with each interval
5. lbmd_opaque_offset: offset in bytes of the opaque block tag within
the logical block metadata
6. lbmd_pi_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI tuple associated with each
interval
7. lbmd_pi_offset: offset in bytes of T10 PI tuple within the logical
block metadata
8. lbmd_pi_guard_tag_type: T10 PI guard tag type
9. lbmd_pi_app_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI application tag
10. lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI reference tag
11. lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI storage tag
The internal logic to fetch the capability is encapsulated in a helper
function blk_get_meta_cap(), which uses the blk_integrity profile
associated with the device. The ioctl returns -EOPNOTSUPP, if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is not enabled.

Add a new blk_rq_dma_map / blk_rq_dma_unmap pair that does away with
the wasteful scatterlist structure. Instead it uses the mapping iterator
to either add segments to the IOVA for IOMMU operations, or just maps
them one by one for the direct mapping. For the IOMMU case instead of
a scatterlist with an entry for each segment, only a single [dma_addr,len]
pair needs to be stored for processing a request, and for the direct
mapping the per-segment allocation shrinks from
[page,offset,len,dma_addr,dma_len] to just [dma_addr,len].
One big difference to the scatterlist API, which could be considered
downside, is that the IOVA collapsing only works when the driver sets
a virt_boundary that matches the IOMMU granule. For NVMe this is done
already so it works perfectly.

Back in 2015, commit d2be537c3b ("block: bump BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS to
2560") increased the default maximum size of a block device I/O to 2560
sectors (1280 KiB) to "accommodate a 10-data-disk stripe write with
chunk size 128k". This choice is rather arbitrary and since then,
improvements to the block layer have software RAID drivers correctly
advertize their stripe width through chunk_sectors and abuses of
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS_CAP by drivers (to set the HW limit rather than the
default user controlled maximum I/O size) have been fixed.
Since many block devices can benefit from a larger value of
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS_CAP, and in particular HDDs, increase this value to
be 4MiB, or 8192 sectors.
And given that BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS_CAP is only used in the block layer
and should not be used by drivers directly, move this macro definition
to the block layer internal header file block/blk.h.

Currently, disks primarily implement the write zeroes command (aka
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES) through two mechanisms: the first involves
physically writing zeros to the disk media (e.g., HDDs), while the
second performs an unmap operation on the logical blocks, effectively
putting them into a deallocated state (e.g., SSDs). The first method is
generally slow, while the second method is typically very fast.
For example, on certain NVMe SSDs that support NVME_NS_DEAC, submitting
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES requests with the NVME_WZ_DEAC bit can accelerate
the write zeros operation by placing disk blocks into a deallocated
state, which opportunistically avoids writing zeroes to media while
still guaranteeing that subsequent reads from the specified block range
will return zeroed data. This is a best-effort optimization, not a
mandatory requirement, some devices may partially fall back to writing
physical zeroes due to factors such as misalignment or being asked to
clear a block range smaller than the device's internal allocation unit.
Therefore, the speed of this operation is not guaranteed.
It is difficult to determine whether the storage device supports unmap
write zeroes operation. We cannot determine this by only querying
bdev_limits(bdev)->max_write_zeroes_sectors. Therefore, first, add a new
hardware queue limit parameters, max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors, to
indicate whether a device supports this unmap write zeroes operation.
Then, add two new counterpart software queue limits,
max_wzeroes_unmap_sectors and max_user_wzeroes_unmap_sectors, which
allow users to disable this operation if the speed is very slow on some
sepcial devices.
Finally, for the stacked devices cases, initialize these two parameters
to UINT_MAX. This operation should be enabled by both the stacking
driver and all underlying devices.
Thanks to Martin K. Petersen for optimizing the documentation of the
write_zeroes_unmap sysfs interface.

Update nearly all generic_file_mmap() and generic_file_readonly_mmap()
callers to use generic_file_mmap_prepare() and
generic_file_readonly_mmap_prepare() respectively.
We update blkdev, 9p, afs, erofs, ext2, nfs, ntfs3, smb, ubifs and vboxsf
file systems this way.
Remaining users we cannot yet update are ecryptfs, fuse and cramfs. The
former two are nested file systems that must support any underlying file
ssytem, and cramfs inserts a mixed mapping which currently requires a VMA.
Once all file systems have been converted to mmap_prepare(), we can then
update nested file systems.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
- Fix for a deadlock on queue freeze with zoned writes
- Fix for zoned append emulation
- Two bio folio fixes, for sparsemem and for very large folios
- Fix for a performance regression introduced in 6.13 when plug
insertion was changed
- Fix for NVMe passthrough handling for polled IO
- Document the ublk auto registration feature
- loop lockdep warning fix

nvme: always punt polled uring_cmd end_io work to task_work
Documentation: ublk: Separate UBLK_F_AUTO_BUF_REG fallback behavior sublists
block: Fix bvec_set_folio() for very large folios

ublk: document auto buffer registration(UBLK_F_AUTO_BUF_REG)
loop: move lo_set_size() out of queue freeze
Previously, the block layer stored the requests in the plug list in
LIFO order. For this reason, blk_attempt_plug_merge() would check
just the head entry for a back merge attempt, and abort after that
unless requests for multiple queues existed in the plug list. If more
than one request is present in the plug list, this makes the one-shot
back merging less useful than before, as it'll always fail to find a
quick merge candidate.
Use the tail entry for the one-shot merge attempt, which is the last
added request in the list. If that fails, abort immediately unless
there are multiple queues available. If multiple queues are available,
then scan the list. Ideally the latter scan would be a backwards scan
of the list, but as it currently stands, the plug list is singly linked
and hence this isn't easily feasible.

Bios queued up in the zone write plug have already gone through all all
preparation in the submit_bio path, including the freeze protection.
Submitting them through submit_bio_noacct_nocheck duplicates the work
and can can cause deadlocks when freezing a queue with pending bio
write plugs.
Go straight to ->submit_bio or blk_mq_submit_bio to bypass the
superfluous extra freeze protection and checks.

When blk_zone_write_plug_bio_endio() is called for a regular write BIO
used to emulate a zone append operation, that is, a BIO flagged with
BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND, the BIO operation code is restored to the
original REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND but the BIO_EMULATES_ZONE_APPEND flag is not
cleared. Clear it to fully return the BIO to its orginal definition.
