Pull CFI on arm64 support from Kees Cook:
"This builds on last cycle's LTO work, and allows the arm64 kernels to
be built with Clang's Control Flow Integrity feature. This feature has
happily lived in Android kernels for almost 3 years[1], so I'm excited
to have it ready for upstream.
The wide diffstat is mainly due to the treewide fixing of mismatched
list_sort prototypes. Other things in core kernel are to address
various CFI corner cases. The largest code portion is the CFI runtime
implementation itself (which will be shared by all architectures
implementing support for CFI). The arm64 pieces are Acked by arm64
maintainers rather than coming through the arm64 tree since carrying
this tree over there was going to be awkward.
CFI support for x86 is still under development, but is pretty close.
There are a handful of corner cases on x86 that need some improvements
to Clang and objtool, but otherwise works well.
Summary:
- Clean up list_sort prototypes (Sami Tolvanen)
- Introduce CONFIG_CFI_CLANG for arm64 (Sami Tolvanen)"

ioc_adjust_base_vrate() ignored vrate_min when rq_wait_pct indicates that
there is QD contention. The reasoning was that QD depletion always reliably
indicates device saturation and thus it's safe to override user specified
vrate_min. However, this sometimes leads to unnecessary throttling,
especially on really fast devices, because vrate adjustments have delays and
inertia. It also confuses users because the behavior violates the explicitly
specified configuration.
This patch drops the special case handling so that vrate_min is always
applied.

Since commit 01e99aeca39796003 'blk-mq: insert passthrough request into
hctx->dispatch directly', passthrough request should not appear in
IO-scheduler any more, so blk_rq_is_passthrough checking in addon IO
schedulers is redundant.
(Notes: this patch passes generic IO load test with hdds under SAS
controller and hdds under AHCI controller but obviously not covers all.
Not sure if passthrough request can still escape into IO scheduler from
blk_mq_sched_insert_requests, which is used by blk_mq_flush_plug_list and
has lots of indirect callers.)

Commit 01e99aeca39796003 ("blk-mq: insert passthrough request into
hctx->dispatch directly") gives high priority to passthrough requests and
bypass underlying IO scheduler. But as we allocate tag for such request it
still runs io-scheduler's callback limit_depth, while we really want is to
give full sbitmap-depth capabity to such request for acquiring available
tag.

list_sort() internally casts the comparison function passed to it
to a different type with constant struct list_head pointers, and
uses this pointer to call the functions, which trips indirect call
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI) checking.
Instead of removing the consts, this change defines the
list_cmp_func_t type and changes the comparison function types of
all list_sort() callers to use const pointers, thus avoiding type
mismatches.

Yanhui found that write performance is degraded a lot after applying
hctx shared tagset on one test machine with megaraid_sas. And turns out
it is caused by none scheduler which becomes default elevator caused by
hctx shared tagset patchset.
Given more scsi HBAs will apply hctx shared tagset, and the similar
performance exists for them too.
So keep previous behavior by still using default mq-deadline for queues
which apply hctx shared tagset, just like before.

For multiple split bios, if one of the bio is fail, the whole
should return error to application. But we found there is a race
between bio_integrity_verify_fn and bio complete, which return
io success to application after one of the bio fail. The race as
following:
split bio(READ) kworker
nvme_complete_rq
blk_update_request //split error=0
bio_endio
bio_integrity_endio
queue_work(kintegrityd_wq, &bip->bip_work);
bio_integrity_verify_fn
bio_endio //split bio
__bio_chain_endio
if (!parent->bi_status)
<interrupt entry>
nvme_irq
blk_update_request //parent error=7
req_bio_endio
bio->bi_status = 7 //parent bio
<interrupt exit>
parent->bi_status = 0
parent->bi_end_io() // return bi_status=0
The bio has been split as two: split and parent. When split
bio completed, it depends on kworker to do endio, while
bio_integrity_verify_fn have been interrupted by parent bio
complete irq handler. Then, parent bio->bi_status which have
been set in irq handler will overwrite by kworker.
In fact, even without the above race, we also need to conside
the concurrency beteen mulitple split bio complete and update
the same parent bi_status. Normally, multiple split bios will
be issued to the same hctx and complete from the same irq
vector. But if we have updated queue map between multiple split
bios, these bios may complete on different hw queue and different
irq vector. Then the concurrency update parent bi_status may
cause the final status error.

Many throughput-sensitive workloads are made of several parallel I/O
flows, with all flows generated by the same application, or more
generically by the same task (e.g., system boot). The most
counterproductive action with these workloads is plugging I/O dispatch
when one of the bfq_queues associated with these flows remains
temporarily empty.
To avoid this plugging, BFQ has been using a burst-handling mechanism
for years now. This mechanism has proven effective for throughput, and
not detrimental for service guarantees. This commit pushes this
mechanism a little bit further, basing on the following two facts.
First, all the I/O flows of a the same application or task contribute
to the execution/completion of that common application or task. So the
performance figures that matter are total throughput of the flows and
task-wide I/O latency. In particular, these flows do not need to be
protected from each other, in terms of individual bandwidth or
latency.
Second, the above fact holds regardless of the number of flows.
Putting these two facts together, this commits merges stably the
bfq_queues associated with these I/O flows, i.e., with the processes
that generate these IO/ flows, regardless of how many the involved
processes are.
To decide whether a set of bfq_queues is actually associated with the
I/O flows of a common application or task, and to merge these queues
stably, this commit operates as follows: given a bfq_queue, say Q2,
currently being created, and the last bfq_queue, say Q1, created
before Q2, Q2 is merged stably with Q1 if
- very little time has elapsed since when Q1 was created
- Q2 has the same ioprio as Q1
- Q2 belongs to the same group as Q1
Merging bfq_queues also reduces scheduling overhead. A fio test with
ten random readers on /dev/nullb shows a throughput boost of 40%, with
a quadcore. Since BFQ's execution time amounts to ~50% of the total
per-request processing time, the above throughput boost implies that
BFQ's overhead is reduced by more than 50%.

Shared queues are likely to receive I/O at a high rate. This may
deceptively let them be considered as wakers of other queues. But a
false waker will unjustly steal bandwidth to its supposedly woken
queue. So considering also shared queues in the waking mechanism may
cause more control troubles than throughput benefits. This commit
keeps shared queues out of the waker-detection mechanism.

When the io_latency heuristic is off, bfq_queues must not start to be
weight-raised. Unfortunately, by mistake, this may happen when the
state of a previously weight-raised bfq_queue is resumed after a queue
split. This commit fixes this error.

Consider a bfq_queue bfqq that is about to be merged with another
bfq_queue new_bfqq. The processes associated with bfqq are cooperators
of the processes associated with new_bfqq. So, if bfqq has a waker,
then it is reasonable (and beneficial for throughput) to assume that
all these processes will be happy to let bfqq's waker freely inject
I/O when they have no I/O. So this commit makes new_bfqq inherit
bfqq's waker.

Consider a new I/O request that arrives for a bfq_queue bfqq. If, when
this happens, the only active bfq_queues are bfqq and either its waker
bfq_queue or one of its woken bfq_queues, then there is no point in
queueing this new I/O request in bfqq for service. In fact, the
in-service queue and bfqq agree on serving this new I/O request as
soon as possible. So this commit puts this new I/O request directly
into the dispatch list.

Suppose that I/O dispatch is plugged, to wait for new I/O for the
in-service bfq-queue, say bfqq. Suppose then that there is a further
bfq_queue woken by bfqq, and that this woken queue has pending I/O. A
woken queue does not steal bandwidth from bfqq, because it remains
soon without I/O if bfqq is not served. So there is virtually no risk
of loss of bandwidth for bfqq if this woken queue has I/O dispatched
while bfqq is waiting for new I/O. In contrast, this extra I/O
injection boosts throughput. This commit performs this extra
injection.

Christoph reported that we'll likely trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() checking
that we're not submitting a bvec with REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND in
bio_iov_iter_get_pages() some time ago using zoned btrfs, but I couldn't
reproduce it back then.
Now Naohiro was able to trigger the bug as well with xfstests generic/095
on a zoned btrfs.
There is nothing that prevents bvec submissions via REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND if
the hardware's zone append limit is met.

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.

This patch fixes blk_recalc_rq_segments to be aware of devices which can
have multi-segment discards. It calculates the correct discard segment
count by counting the number of bio as each discard bio is considered its
own segment.

When zone reset ioctl and data read race for a same zone on zoned block
devices, the data read leaves stale page cache even though the zone
reset ioctl zero clears all the zone data on the device. To avoid
non-zero data read from the stale page cache after zone reset, discard
page cache of reset target zones in blkdev_zone_mgmt_ioctl(). Introduce
the helper function blkdev_truncate_zone_range() to discard the page
cache. Ensure the page cache discarded by calling the helper function
before and after zone reset in same manner as fallocate does.
This patch can be applied back to the stable kernel version v5.10.y.
Rework is needed for older stable kernels.

register_disk() suppress uevents for devices with the GENHD_FL_HIDDEN
but enables uevents at the end again in order to announce disk after
possible partitions are created.
When the device is removed the uevents are still on and user land sees
'remove' messages for devices which were never 'add'ed to the system.

The current blkio.throttle.io_service_bytes_recursive doesn't
work correctly.
As an example, for the following blkcg hierarchy:
(Made 1GB READ in test1, 512MB READ in test2)
test
/ \
test1 test2
$ head -n 1 test/test1/blkio.throttle.io_service_bytes_recursive
8:0 Read 1073684480
$ head -n 1 test/test2/blkio.throttle.io_service_bytes_recursive

$ head -n 1 test/blkio.throttle.io_service_bytes_recursive

SCSI uses a global atomic variable to track queue depth for each
LUN/request queue.
This doesn't scale well when there are lots of CPU cores and the disk is
very fast. It has been observed that IOPS is affected a lot by tracking
queue depth via sdev->device_busy in the I/O path.
Return budget token from .get_budget callback. The budget token can be
passed to driver so that we can replace the atomic variable with
sbitmap_queue and alleviate the scaling problems that way.
