Move the nowait flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can
be set atomically with the queue frozen.
Stacking drivers are simplified in that they now can simply set the
flag, and blk_stack_limits will clear it when the features is not
supported by any of the underlying devices.

Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can
be set atomically with the queue frozen.
Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require
the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the
sysfs interface.
For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new
rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite
this being a behavior change. There are some other drivers that
unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior
as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is
probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd).
The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the
existing behavior in dm and md.

Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that the flags
can be set atomically with the device queue frozen.
Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal
(usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer. Note that we'll
eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the
previous size.
The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which
means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and
max_discard_sectors user limits.
The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which
simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior
change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache
despite setting num_flush_bios to 0. The I/O path will handle this
gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios
and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those
targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios
should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.

blkfront always had a robust negotiation protocol for detecting a write
cache. Stop simply disabling cache flushes in the block layer as the
flags handling is moving to the atomic queue limits API that needs
user context to freeze the queue for that. Instead handle the case
of the feature flags cleared inside of blkfront. This removes old
debug code to check for such a mismatch which was previously impossible
to hit, including the check for passthrough requests that blkfront
never used to start with.

A few drivers optimistically try to support discard, write zeroes and
secure erase and disable the features from the I/O completion handler
if the hardware can't support them. This disable can't be done using
the atomic queue limits API because the I/O completion handlers can't
take sleeping locks or freeze the queue. Keep the existing clearing
of the relevant field to zero, but replace the old blk_queue_max_*
APIs with new disable APIs that force the value to 0.

The soft max_sectors limit is normally capped by the hardware limits and
an arbitrary upper limit enforced by the kernel, but can be modified by
the user. A few drivers want to increase this limit (nbd, rbd) or
adjust it up or down based on hardware capabilities (sd).
Change blk_validate_limits to default max_sectors to the optimal I/O
size, or upgrade it to the preferred minimal I/O size if that is
larger than the kernel default if no optimal I/O size is provided based
on the logic in the SD driver.
This keeps the existing kernel default for drivers that do not provide
an io_opt or very big io_min value, but picks a much more useful
default for those who provide these hints, and allows to remove the
hacks to set the user max_sectors limit in nbd, rbd and sd.

Commit 16d80c54ad ("rbd: set io_min, io_opt and discard_granularity to
alloc_size") lowered the io_opt size for rbd from objset_bytes which is
4MB for typical setup to alloc_size which is typically 64KB.
The commit mostly talks about discard behavior and does mention io_min
in passing. Reducing io_opt means reducing the readahead size, which
seems counter-intuitive given that rbd currently abuses the user
max_sectors setting to actually increase the I/O size. Switch back
to the old setting to allow larger reads (the readahead size despite it's
name actually limits the size of any buffered read) and to prepare
for using io_opt in the max_sectors calculation and getting drivers out
of the business of overriding the max_user_sectors value.

If fallcate is implemented but zero and discard operations are not
supported by the filesystem the backing file is on we continue to fill
dmesg with errors from the blk_mq_end_request() since each time we call
fallocate() on the loop device the EOPNOTSUPP error from lo_fallocate()
ends up propagated into the block layer. In the end syscall succeeds
since the blkdev_issue_zeroout() falls back to writing zeroes which
makes the errors even more misleading and confusing.

2. dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/disk.img bs=1M count=100

discard operations if we get EOPNOTSUPP from the backing file fallocate
callback, that way we at least stop spewing errors after the first
unsuccessful try.

A zoned device with a smaller last zone together with a zone capacity
smaller than the zone size does make any sense as that does not
correspond to any possible setup for a real device:
1) For ZNS and zoned UFS devices, all zones are always the same size.
2) For SMR HDDs, all zones always have the same capacity.
In other words, if we have a smaller last runt zone, then this zone
capacity should always be equal to the zone size.
Add a check in null_init_zoned_dev() to prevent a configuration to have
both a smaller zone size and a zone capacity smaller than the zone size.

Pull tracing cleanup from Steven Rostedt:
"Remove second argument of __assign_str()
The __assign_str() macro logic of the TRACE_EVENT() macro was
optimized so that it no longer needs the second argument. The
__assign_str() is always matched with __string() field that takes a
field name and the source for that field:
__string(field, source)
The TRACE_EVENT() macro logic will save off the source value and then
use that value to copy into the ring buffer via the __assign_str().
Before commit c1fa617cae ("tracing: Rework __assign_str() and
__string() to not duplicate getting the string"), the __assign_str()
needed the second argument which would perform the same logic as the
__string() source parameter did. Not only would this add overhead, but
it was error prone as if the __assign_str() source produced something
different, it may not have allocated enough for the string in the ring
buffer (as the __string() source was used to determine how much to
allocate)
Now that the __assign_str() just uses the same string that was used in
__string() it no longer needs the source parameter. It can now be

With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.
This means that with:
__string(field, mystring)
Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.
There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:
git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a > /tmp/test-file;
mv /tmp/test-file $a;
done
I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.
Note, the same updates will need to be done for:
__assign_str_len()
__assign_rel_str()
__assign_rel_str_len()
I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

Both nbd_send_cmd() and nbd_handle_cmd() return either a negative error
number or a positive blk_status_t value. nbd_queue_rq() converts these
return values into a blk_status_t value. There is a bug in the conversion
code: if nbd_send_cmd() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE, nbd_queue_rq() should
return BLK_STS_RESOURCE instead of BLK_STS_OK. Fix this, move the
conversion code into nbd_handle_cmd() and fix the remaining sparse warnings.

The ramdisk memory utilization can only go up when data is written to
new pages. Implement discard to provide the possibility to reduce memory
usage for pages no longer in use. Aligned discards will free the
associated pages, if any, and determinisitically return zeroed data
until written again.

By default, this will be 511, as that's the block layer default. But
drivers these days can support memory alignments that aren't tied to
the sector sizes, instead just being limited by what the DMA engine
supports. An example is NVMe, where it's generally set to a 32-bit or
64-bit boundary. As ublk itself doesn't really care, just set it low
enough that we don't run into issues with NVMe where the required
O_DIRECT memory alignment is now more restrictive on ublk than it is
on the underlying device.
This was triggered by spurious -EINVAL returns on O_DIRECT IO on a
setup with ublk managing NVMe devices, which previously worked just
fine on the NVMe device itself. With the alignment relaxed, the test
works fine.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
- Add a partscan attribute in sysfs, fixing an issue with systemd
relying on an internal interface that went away.
- Attempt #2 at making long running discards interruptible. The
previous attempt went into 6.9, but we ended up mostly reverting it
as it had issues.
- Remove old ida_simple API in bcache
- Support for zoned write plugging, greatly improving the performance
on zoned devices.
- Remove the old throttle low interface, which has been experimental
since 2017 and never made it beyond that and isn't being used.
- Remove page->index debugging checks in brd, as it hasn't caught
anything and prepares us for removing in struct page.
- MD pull request from Song
- Don't schedule block workers on isolated CPUs
