may allow an invalid request dispatched to the driver. Force the

Now when I/O is submitted to a partition, the per-CPU in_flight[]
counter is incremented only on the partition's block_device, not on the
underlying whole disk. This leads to a problem which can be shown by a
fio test:
lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
mydev 252:1 0 20G 0 disk
└─mydev1 259:0 0 10G 0 part
iostat -xp 1
Device r/s rkB/s ... aqu-sz %util
mydev 128153.00 512612.00 ... 13.22 72.20
mydev1 128154.00 512616.00 ... 13.22 100.00
%util is different between mydev and mydev1, which is unexpected.
This is the cumulative effect of a series of patches. The root cause is
commit e016b78201 ("block: return just one value from part_in_flight"),
which deleted the branch in part_in_flight() that aggregated the whole-disk
in_flight count on top of the partition's. Then the second commit is
commit 10ec5e86f9 ("block: merge part_{inc,dev}_in_flight into their
only callers"), which folded the whole-disk in_flight accounting into
generic_start_io_acct() and generic_end_io_acct(). Those two helpers
were then removed by commit e722fff238 ("block: remove
generic_{start,end}_io_acct"), and from that point on the whole disk's
in_flight is no longer accounted at all.
In update_io_ticks(), if calling bdev_count_inflight() finds that the
inflight value of the whole device is 0, the accumulation of io_ticks will
be skipped, causing the reported util% value to be underestimated.
Fix it by restoring the whole-disk in_flight accounting.

Remove redundant '== false' comparisons and add unlikely() branch
prediction hints in block I/O merge path functions.
These functions (ll_new_hw_segment, ll_merge_requests_fn, and
blk_rq_merge_ok) are executed on every I/O request merge attempt,
making them critical hot paths. Data integrity check failures are
rare events, so marking these conditions as unlikely() helps the
CPU optimize the common case by improving branch prediction.
Changes:
- Replace 'func() == false' with 'unlikely(!func())' for better
code style and branch prediction
This micro-optimization reduces branch misprediction penalties in
high-frequency I/O merge paths.

aix_partition() reads the physical volume descriptor into a fixed-size
struct pvd and then scans its physical-partition-extent array:
int numpps = be16_to_cpu(pvd->pp_count);
...
for (i = 0; i < numpps; i += 1) {
struct ppe *p = pvd->ppe + i;
...
lp_ix = be16_to_cpu(p->lp_ix);
pvd points at a single kmalloc()'d struct pvd whose ppe[] member holds a
fixed ARRAY_SIZE(pvd->ppe) (1016) entries, but the loop runs up to the
on-disk pp_count. pp_count is an unvalidated __be16 read straight from
the descriptor, so a crafted AIX image with pp_count larger than 1016
drives the loop to read pvd->ppe[i] past the end of the allocation (up
to 65535 entries, ~2 MB out of bounds).
The partition scan runs without mounting anything, when a block device
with a crafted AIX/IBM partition table appears (an attacker-supplied
image attached with losetup -P, or a device auto-scanned by udev), via
msdos_partition() -> aix_partition().
Clamp the scan to the number of entries the ppe[] array can hold.

This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:
commit 128ea9f6cc ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566 ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
The refactoring is going to alter the default behavior of
alloc_workqueue() to be unbound by default.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU. For more details see the Link tag below.
In order to keep alloc_workqueue() behavior identical, explicitly request
WQ_PERCPU.

The mempool_alloc_bulk was modelled after the alloc_pages_bulk API,
including some misunderstanding of it.
Remove checking for NULL slots in the array, as alloc_pages_bulk and
kmem_cache_alloc_bulk always fill the array from the beginning and thus
we know the offset of the first failing allocation. This removes support
for working well with alloc_pages_bulk used to refill page arrays that
might have an entry removed from in the middle, but that is only used by
sunrpc and hopefully on it's way out.
Also remove the allocated parameter as it is redundant because the caller
can simply specific and offset into the entries array.

BFQ cgroup stats contain percpu counters embedded in struct bfq_group,
but the old free path destroys them from bfq_pd_free(), which is tied
to blkg policy-data teardown.
That is not the same lifetime as struct bfq_group. BFQ pins bfq_group
while bfq_queue entities refer to it, so bfq_pd_free() can drop the
policy-data reference while other bfq_group references still exist. The
following blkcg change also defers policy-data release through RCU and
leaves BFQ to run the final bfqg_put() from an RCU callback. For that
conversion, stats teardown must belong to the last bfq_group put, not to
policy-data teardown.
Move stats teardown to bfqg_put() so the embedded counters are destroyed
exactly when the last bfq_group reference is released, before kfree(bfqg).
Without this preparatory change, the RCU-delayed policy-data free
conversion reproduced the following KASAN report:

tg_flush_bios() schedules pending_timer on the child tg's own
service_queue, which causes throtl_pending_timer_fn() to dispatch from
the child's pending_tree. For leaf cgroups this tree is empty, so the
timer fires and exits without dispatching the throttled bio.
The throttled bio sits in the parent's pending_tree with disptime set
to jiffies (THROTL_TG_CANCELING zeroes all dispatch times), but the
parent's timer is never explicitly rescheduled. The bio only gets
dispatched when the parent timer eventually fires at its previously
scheduled expiry.
Fix by calling throtl_schedule_next_dispatch(sq->parent_sq, true)
instead, matching what tg_set_limit() already does. This forces the
parent's dispatch cycle to run immediately and flush all canceling
bios without waiting for a stale timer.
For the device deletion path (blk_throtl_cancel_bios), directly
complete throttled bios with EIO via bio_io_error() instead of
dispatching them through the timer -> work -> submission chain.
This avoids a race with the SCSI state machine where bios can reach
the SCSI layer while the device is in SDEV_CANCEL state, causing
ENODEV instead of the expected EIO.

check_partition() allocates a buffer to use as backing memory for
seq_buf.
This buffer can be allocated with kmalloc() as there's nothing special
about it to go directly to the page allocator.
kmalloc() provides a better API that does not require ugly casts and
kfree() does not need to know the size of the freed object.
For a single allocation on the cold path the performance difference between
kmalloc() and __get_free_pages() is not measurable as both allocators take
an object/page from a per-CPU list for fast path allocations.
For the slow path the performance is anyway determined by the amount of
reclaim involved rather than by what allocator is used.
Replace use of __get_free_page() with kmalloc() and free_page() with
kfree().

A previous commit removed an optimization out of caution for a scenario
that turns out not to be real: all the "queue_exit" goto's are safe to
reinsert the request into the cached_rq's plug list as they are either
from a non-blocking path, or a successful merge that already holds the
queue reference. This optimization is most needed for small sequential
workloads that successfully merge into larger requests.

The bdev pseudo-filesystem is an internal kernel filesystem with which
userspace should not interfere. Unregister it so that userspace cannot
even attempt to mount it.
This fixes a bug [1] that occurs when attempting to access files,
because the system call move_mount() uses pointers declared in the

bdev_mark_dead()'s @surprise == true means the device is already gone.
The filesystem callback fs_bdev_mark_dead() honours this and skips
sync_filesystem(), but the bare block device path (no ->mark_dead op)
lost its !surprise guard when the holder ->mark_dead callback was wired
up (see Fixes), and now calls sync_blockdev() unconditionally, which can
hang forever waiting on writeback that can no longer complete.
syzkaller hit this via nvme_reset_work()'s "I/O queues lost" path:
nvme_mark_namespaces_dead() -> blk_mark_disk_dead() ->
bdev_mark_dead(bdev, true) -> sync_blockdev() blocks in
folio_wait_writeback(), wedging the reset worker and every task waiting
on it.
Skip the sync on surprise removal, matching fs_bdev_mark_dead();
invalidate_bdev() still runs. Orderly removal (surprise == false) is
unchanged.

In high-performance storage environments, particularly when utilising
RAID controllers with shared tag sets (BLK_MQ_F_TAG_HCTX_SHARED), severe
latency spikes can occur when fast devices (SSDs) are starved of hardware
tags when sharing the same blk_mq_tag_set.
Currently, diagnosing this specific hardware queue contention is
difficult. When a CPU thread exhausts the tag pool, blk_mq_get_tag()
forces the current thread to block uninterruptible via io_schedule().
While this can be inferred via sched:sched_switch or dynamically
traced by attaching a kprobe to blk_mq_mark_tag_wait(), there is no
dedicated, out-of-the-box observability for this event.
This patch introduces the block_rq_tag_wait tracepoint in the tag
allocation slow-path. It triggers immediately before the task state
is altered to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE (ensuring safety for PREEMPT_RT
locks). It exposes the exact hardware context (hctx) that is starved,
the specific pool experiencing starvation (driver, software scheduler,
or reserved), and the exact pool depth.
This provides storage engineers with a zero-configuration, low-overhead
mechanism to definitively identify shared-tag bottlenecks. For example,
userspace can trivially replicate tag starvation counters using bpftrace:
# bpftrace -e 'tracepoint:block:block_rq_tag_wait { @tag_waits[cpu] = count(); }'
Attaching 1 probe...

of_partition() calls of_node_get() on the parent device node at the
beginning of the function, storing the reference in 'partitions_np'.
This reference is leaked in two paths:
1. The compatibility check at the top of the function returns 0
without releasing partitions_np when the node exists but is not
"fixed-partitions" compatible.
2. The function returns 1 at the end after successfully processing
all partitions without releasing partitions_np.
Fix both leaks by adding of_node_put(partitions_np) on each path.

The function disk_update_zone_resources() may call
disk_free_zone_resources() in case of error, and following this,
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() will again calls disk_free_zone_resources() if
disk_update_zone_resources() failed. If a zone worker thread is being used
(which is the default for a rotational media zoned device),
disk_free_zone_resources() will try to stop the zone worker thread twice
because disk->zone_wplugs_worker is not reset to NULL when the worker
thread is stopped the first time.
In disk_free_zone_resources(), fix this by correctly clearing
disk->zone_wplugs_worker to NULL when the worker thread is stopped.
And while at it, since disk_free_zone_resources() is always called after a
failed call to disk_update_zone_resources(), remove the unnecessary call
to disk_free_zone_resources() in disk_update_zone_resources().

When submitting a bio to blk-mq, if the task should sleep after peeking
a cached request, but before it pops it, the plug flushes and calls
blk_mq_free_plug_rqs, freeing the cached_rqs. This creates a
use-after-free bug. Fix this by popping the cached request before any
possible blocking calls if it is suitable for use.
Popping this request first holds a queue reference, so avoid any
serialization races with queue freezes and can safely proceed with
dispatching that request to the driver. This potentially increases a
timing window from when a driver wants to freeze its queue to when
requests stop being dispatched. That scenario is off the fast path
though, and drivers need to appropriately handle requests during a
freeze request anyway.
The downside is the popped element needs to be individually freed when
we performed a bio plug merge. The cached request would have had to be
freed later anyway, but this patch does it inline with building the plug
list instead of after flushing it.

css_rstat_updated() is exposed as a BPF kfunc and accepts a
caller-provided cpu argument. The function uses cpu for per-cpu rstat
lookups without checking whether it refers to a valid possible CPU.
A BPF iter/cgroup program with CAP_BPF and CAP_PERFMON can pass an
invalid cpu value. On an unfixed UBSCAN_BOUNDS test kernel, cpu ==
0x7fffffff triggers:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in kernel/cgroup/rstat.c:31:9
index 2147483647 is out of range for type 'long unsigned int [64]'
Call Trace:

Add cpu validation to the BPF-facing css_rstat_updated() kfunc and
move the common implementation to __css_rstat_updated() for in-kernel
callers.
