Pull irq cleanups from Thomas Gleixner:
"A series of treewide cleanups to ensure interrupt request consistency.
- Add the missing IRQF_COND_ONESHOT flag to devm_request_irq()
This is inconsistent vs request_irq() and causes the same issues
which where addressed with the introduction of this flag
- Cleanup IRQF_ONESHOT and IRQF_NO_THREAD usage
Quite some drivers have inconsistent interrupt request flags
related to interrupt threading namely IRQF_ONESHOT and
IRQF_NO_THREAD. This leads to warnings and/or malfunction when
forced interrupt threading is enabled.
- Remove stub primary (hard interrupt) handlers
A bunch of drivers implement a stub primary (hard interrupt)
handler which just returns IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. The same functionality
is provided by the core code when the primary handler argument of
request_thread_irq() is set to NULL"

- Support for integrity data for ublk
- Various other ublk improvements and additions, including a ton of
selftests additions and updated
- Move the handling of blk-crypto software fallback from below the

were only run for a given io_uring ring when it was local to that
ring. With the new changes, we can detect if it's necessary to use
task_work or not, and avoid it if possible.

There is no added value in efct_intr_msix() compared to
irq_default_primary_handler().
Using a threaded interrupt without a dedicated primary handler mandates
the IRQF_ONESHOT flag to mask the interrupt source while the threaded
handler is active. Otherwise the interrupt can fire again before the
threaded handler had a chance to run.
Use the default primary interrupt handler by specifying NULL and set
IRQF_ONESHOT so the interrupt source is masked until the secondary
handler is done.

Add a third parameter 'const struct io_comp_batch *' to the rq_end_io_fn
callback signature. This allows end_io handlers to access the completion
batch context when requests are completed via blk_mq_end_request_batch().
The io_comp_batch is passed from blk_mq_end_request_batch(), while NULL
is passed from __blk_mq_end_request() and blk_mq_put_rq_ref() which don't
have batch context.
This infrastructure change enables drivers to detect whether they're
being called from a batched completion path (like iopoll) and access
additional context stored in the io_comp_batch.

In qla27xx_copy_fpin_pkt() and qla27xx_copy_multiple_pkt(), the frame_size
reported by firmware is used to calculate the copy length into
item->iocb. However, the iocb member is defined as a fixed-size 64-byte
array within struct purex_item.
If the reported frame_size exceeds 64 bytes, subsequent memcpy calls will
overflow the iocb member boundary. While extra memory might be allocated,
this cross-member write is unsafe and triggers warnings under
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.
Fix this by capping total_bytes to the size of the iocb member (64 bytes)
before allocation and copying. This ensures all copies remain within the
bounds of the destination structure member.

The fragile ordering between marking commands completed or failed so
that the error handler only wakes when the last running command
completes or times out has race conditions. These race conditions can
cause the SCSI layer to fail to wake the error handler, leaving I/O
through the SCSI host stuck as the error state cannot advance.
First, there is an memory ordering issue within scsi_dec_host_busy().
The write which clears SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT may be reordered with reads
counting in scsi_host_busy(). While the local CPU will see its own
write, reordering can allow other CPUs in scsi_dec_host_busy() or
scsi_eh_inc_host_failed() to see a raised busy count, causing no CPU to
see a host busy equal to the host_failed count.
This race condition can be prevented with a memory barrier on the error
path to force the write to be visible before counting host busy
commands.
Second, there is a general ordering issue with scsi_eh_inc_host_failed(). By
counting busy commands before incrementing host_failed, it can race with a
final command in scsi_dec_host_busy(), such that scsi_dec_host_busy() does
not see host_failed incremented but scsi_eh_inc_host_failed() counts busy
commands before SCMD_STATE_INFLIGHT is cleared by scsi_dec_host_busy(),
resulting in neither waking the error handler task.
This needs the call to scsi_host_busy() to be moved after host_failed is
incremented to close the race condition.

Some low-level drivers (LLD) access block layer crypto fields, such as
rq->crypt_keyslot and rq->crypt_ctx within `struct request`, to
configure hardware for inline encryption. However, SCSI Error Handling
(EH) commands (e.g., TEST UNIT READY, START STOP UNIT) should not
involve any encryption setup.
To prevent drivers from erroneously applying crypto settings during EH,
this patch saves the original values of rq->crypt_keyslot and
rq->crypt_ctx before an EH command is prepared via scsi_eh_prep_cmnd().
These fields in the 'struct request' are then set to NULL. The original
values are restored in scsi_eh_restore_cmnd() after the EH command
completes.
This ensures that the block layer crypto context does not leak into EH
command execution.

A race condition was found in sg_proc_debug_helper(). It was observed on
a system using an IBM LTO-9 SAS Tape Drive (ULTRIUM-TD9) and monitoring
/proc/scsi/sg/debug every second. A very large elapsed time would
sometimes appear. This is caused by two race conditions.
We reproduced the issue with an IBM ULTRIUM-HH9 tape drive on an x86_64
architecture. A patched kernel was built, and the race condition could
not be observed anymore after the application of this patch. A
reproducer C program utilising the scsi_debug module was also built by
Changhui Zhong and can be viewed here:
https://github.com/MichaelRabek/linux-tests/blob/master/drivers/scsi/sg/sg_race_trigger.c
The first race happens between the reading of hp->duration in
sg_proc_debug_helper() and request completion in sg_rq_end_io(). The
hp->duration member variable may hold either of two types of
information:
#1 - The start time of the request. This value is present while
the request is not yet finished.
#2 - The total execution time of the request (end_time - start_time).
If sg_proc_debug_helper() executes *after* the value of hp->duration was
changed from #1 to #2, but *before* srp->done is set to 1 in
sg_rq_end_io(), a fresh timestamp is taken in the else branch, and the
elapsed time (value type #2) is subtracted from a timestamp, which
cannot yield a valid elapsed time (which is a type #2 value as well).
To fix this issue, the value of hp->duration must change under the
protection of the sfp->rq_list_lock in sg_rq_end_io(). Since
sg_proc_debug_helper() takes this read lock, the change to srp->done and
srp->header.duration will happen atomically from the perspective of
sg_proc_debug_helper() and the race condition is thus eliminated.
The second race condition happens between sg_proc_debug_helper() and
sg_new_write(). Even though hp->duration is set to the current time
stamp in sg_add_request() under the write lock's protection, it gets
overwritten by a call to get_sg_io_hdr(), which calls copy_from_user()
to copy struct sg_io_hdr from userspace into kernel space. hp->duration
is set to the start time again in sg_common_write(). If
sg_proc_debug_helper() is called between these two calls, an arbitrary
value set by userspace (usually zero) is used to compute the elapsed
time.
To fix this issue, hp->duration must be set to the current timestamp
again after get_sg_io_hdr() returns successfully. A small race window
still exists between get_sg_io_hdr() and setting hp->duration, but this
window is only a few instructions wide and does not result in observable
issues in practice, as confirmed by testing.
Additionally, we fix the format specifier from %d to %u for printing
unsigned int values in sg_proc_debug_helper().

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Allow creaing nbcon console drivers with an unsafe write_atomic()
callback that can only be called by the final nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe().
Otherwise, the driver would rely on the kthread.
It is going to be used as the-best-effort approach for an
experimental nbcon netconsole driver, see
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251121-nbcon-v1-2-503d17b2b4af@debian.org
Note that a safe .write_atomic() callback is supposed to work in NMI
context. But some networking drivers are not safe even in IRQ
context:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/oc46gdpmmlly5o44obvmoatfqo5bhpgv7pabpvb6sjuqioymcg@gjsma3ghoz35
In an ideal world, all networking drivers would be fixed first and
the atomic flush would be blocked only in NMI context. But it brings
the question how reliable networking drivers are when the system is
in a bad state. They might block flushing more reliable serial
consoles which are more suitable for serious debugging anyway.
- Allow to use the last 4 bytes of the printk ring buffer.
- Prevent queuing IRQ work and block printk kthreads when consoles are
suspended. Otherwise, they create non-necessary churn or even block
the suspend.
- Release console_lock() between each record in the kthread used for
legacy consoles on RT. It might significantly speed up the boot.
- Release nbcon context between each record in the atomic flush. It
prevents stalls of the related printk kthread after it has lost the
ownership in the middle of a record
- Add support for NBCON consoles into KDB
- Add %ptsP modifier for printing struct timespec64 and use it where
possible
- Misc code clean up

The delayed work item 'imm_tq' is initialized in imm_attach() and
scheduled via imm_queuecommand() for processing SCSI commands. When the
IMM parallel port SCSI host adapter is detached through imm_detach(),
the imm_struct device instance is deallocated.
However, the delayed work might still be pending or executing
when imm_detach() is called, leading to use-after-free bugs
when the work function imm_interrupt() accesses the already
freed imm_struct memory.
The race condition can occur as follows:
CPU 0(detach thread) | CPU 1
| imm_queuecommand()
| imm_queuecommand_lck()
imm_detach() | schedule_delayed_work()
kfree(dev) //FREE | imm_interrupt()
| dev = container_of(...) //USE
dev-> //USE
Add disable_delayed_work_sync() in imm_detach() to guarantee proper
cancellation of the delayed work item before imm_struct is deallocated.

In 2009, commit c82f63e411 ("PCI: check saved state before restore")
changed the behavior of pci_restore_state() such that it became necessary
to call pci_save_state() afterwards, lest recovery from subsequent PCI
errors fails.
The commit has just been reverted and so all the pci_save_state() after
pci_restore_state() calls that have accumulated in the tree are now
superfluous. Drop them.
Two drivers chose a different approach to achieve the same result:
drivers/scsi/ipr.c and drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c set the
pci_dev's "state_saved" flag to true before calling pci_restore_state().
Drop this as well.

In qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb(), an item is allocated via
qla27xx_copy_multiple_pkt(), which internally calls
qla24xx_alloc_purex_item().
The qla24xx_alloc_purex_item() function may return a pre-allocated item
from a per-adapter pool for small allocations, instead of dynamically
allocating memory with kzalloc().
An error handling path in qla2xxx_process_purls_iocb() incorrectly uses
kfree() to release the item. If the item was from the pre-allocated
pool, calling kfree() on it is a bug that can lead to memory corruption.
Fix this by using the correct deallocation function,
qla24xx_free_purex_item(), which properly handles both dynamically
allocated and pre-allocated items.

Marco Crivellari <marco.crivellari@suse.com> says:
Hi,
=== Current situation: problems ===
Let's consider a nohz_full system with isolated CPUs: wq_unbound_cpumask is
set to the housekeeping CPUs, for !WQ_UNBOUND the local CPU is selected.
This leads to different scenarios if a work item is scheduled on an
isolated CPU where "delay" value is 0 or greater then 0:
schedule_delayed_work(, 0);
This will be handled by __queue_work() that will queue the work item on the
current local (isolated) CPU, while:
schedule_delayed_work(, 1);
Will move the timer on an housekeeping CPU, and schedule the work there.
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
=== Recent changes to the WQ API ===
The following, address the recent changes in the Workqueue API:
- commit 128ea9f6cc ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
- commit 930c2ea566 ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
The old workqueues will be removed in a future release cycle.
=== Introduced Changes by this series ===
1) [P 1] Replace uses of system_wq and system_unbound_wq
system_unbound_wq is to be used when locality is not required.
Because of that, system_unbound_wq has been replaced with
system_dfl_wq, to make clear it should be used when locality
is not required.
2) [P 2-3-4] WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue()
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
Thanks!

commit 128ea9f6cc ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566 ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
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.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work()
the used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND. This lack of consistentcy cannot be
addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
