For years I wondered why the floppy driver does not just work on
sparc64, e.g:
root@SUNW_375_0066:# disktype /dev/fd0
disktype: Can't open /dev/fd0: No such device or address
[ 525.341906] disktype: attempt to access beyond end of device
fd0: rw=0, sector=0, nr_sectors = 16 limit=8
[ 525.341991] floppy: error 10 while reading block 0
Turns out floppy.c __floppy_read_block_0 tries to read one page for
the first test read to determine the disk size and thus fails if that
is greater than 4k. Adjust minimum MAX_DISK_SIZE to PAGE_SIZE to fix
floppy on sparc64 and likely all other PAGE_SIZE != 4KB configs.

Merge MMIO P2P DMA series from Leon:
"This patch series improves block layer and NVMe driver support for MMIO
memory regions, particularly for peer-to-peer (P2P) DMA transfers that
go through the host bridge.
The series addresses a critical gap where P2P transfers through the
host bridge (PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_THRU_HOST_BRIDGE) were not properly marked
as MMIO memory, leading to potential issues with:
- Inappropriate CPU cache synchronization operations on MMIO regions
- Incorrect DMA mapping/unmapping that doesn't respect MMIO semantics
- Missing IOMMU configuration for MMIO memory handling
This work is extracted from the larger DMA physical API improvement
series [1] and focuses specifically on block layer and NVMe
requirements for MMIO memory support.

* p2pdma-mmio-6.19.v5:
block-dma: properly take MMIO path
nvme-pci: migrate to dma_map_phys instead of map_page
In commit eadaa8b255 ("dma-mapping: introduce new DMA attribute to
indicate MMIO memory"), DMA_ATTR_MMIO attribute was added to describe
MMIO addresses, which require to avoid any memory cache flushing, as
an outcome of the discussion pointed in Link tag below.
In case of PCI_P2PDMA_MAP_THRU_HOST_BRIDGE transfer, blk-mq-dm logic
treated this as regular page and relied on "struct page" DMA flow.
That flow performs CPU cache flushing, which shouldn't be done here,
and doesn't set IOMMU_MMIO flag in DMA-IOMMU case.
As a solution, let's encode peer-to-peer transaction type in NVMe IOD
flags variable and provide it to blk-mq-dma API.

Merge elevator switching improvements from Nilay:
"This patchset reorganizes the elevator switch path used during both
nr_hw_queues update and elv_iosched_store() operations to address a
recently reported lockdep splat [1].
The warning highlights a locking dependency between ->freeze_lock and
->elevator_lock on pcpu_alloc_mutex, triggered when the Kyber scheduler
dynamically allocates its private scheduling data. The fix is to ensure
that such allocations occur outside the locked sections, thus
eliminating the dependency chain.
While working on this, it also became evident that the nr_hw_queue
update code maintains two disjoint xarrays—one for elevator tags and
another for elevator type—both serving the same purpose. Unifying these
into a single elv_change_ctx structure improves clarity and
maintainability.
This series therefore implements five patches:
The first perparatory patch unifies elevator tags and type xarrays. It
combines both xarrays into a single struct elv_change_ctx, simplifying
per-queue elevator state management.
The second patch is aimed to group together all elevator-related
resources that share the same lifetime and as a first step we move the
elevator tags pointer from struct elv_change_ctx into the newly
introduced struct elevator_resources. The subsequent patch extends the
struct elevator_resources to include other elevator-related data.
The third patch introduce ->alloc_sched_data and ->free_sched_data
elevator ops which could be then used to safely allocate and free
scheduler data.
The fourth patch now builds upon the previous patch and starts using
the newly introduced alloc/free sched data methods in the earlier patch
during elevator switch and nr_hw_queue update. And while doing so, it's
ensured that sched data allocation and free happens before we acquire
->freeze_lock and ->elevator_lock thus preventing its dependency on
pcpu_alloc_mutex.
The last patch of this series converts Kyber scheduler to use the new
methods inroduced in the previous patch. It hooks Kyber’s scheduler
data allocation and teardown logic from ->init_sched and ->exit_sched
into the new methods, ensuring memory operations are performed outside
locked sections.
Together, these changes simplify the elevator switch logic and prevent
the reported lockdep splat."

* elevator-switch-6.19:
block: define alloc_sched_data and free_sched_data methods for kyber
block: use {alloc|free}_sched data methods
block: introduce alloc_sched_data and free_sched_data elevator methods
block: move elevator tags into struct elevator_resources
block: unify elevator tags and type xarrays into struct elv_change_ctx
Currently, the Kyber elevator allocates its private data dynamically in
->init_sched and frees it in ->exit_sched. However, since ->init_sched
is invoked during elevator switch after acquiring both ->freeze_lock and
->elevator_lock, it may trigger the lockdep splat [1] due to dependency
on pcpu_alloc_mutex.
To resolve this, move the elevator data allocation and deallocation
logic from ->init_sched and ->exit_sched into the newly introduced
->alloc_sched_data and ->free_sched_data methods. These callbacks are
invoked before acquiring ->freeze_lock and ->elevator_lock, ensuring
that memory allocation happens safely without introducing additional
locking dependencies.
This change breaks the dependency chain involving pcpu_alloc_mutex and
prevents the reported lockdep warning.

same purpose adds unnecessary complexity and potential for mismatched
state.
This patch unifies both xarrays into a single structure, struct
elv_change_ctx, which holds all per-queue elevator change context. A
single xarray, named elv_tbl, now maps each queue (q->id) in a tagset
to its corresponding elv_change_ctx entry, encapsulating the elevator
tags, type and name references.
This unification simplifies the code, improves maintainability, and
clarifies ownership of per-queue elevator state.

This helper creates a union between a flexible-array member (FAM) and a

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 patch continues the effort to refactor worqueue APIs, which has begun
with the change introducing new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag:
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.

When bcache device is busy for high I/O loads, there are two methods to
reduce the garbage collection latency,
- Process less nodes in eac loop of incremental garbage collection in
btree_gc_recurse().
- Sleep less time between two full garbage collection in
bch_btree_gc().
This patch introduces to hleper routines to provide different garbage
collection nodes number and sleep intervel time.
- btree_gc_min_nodes()
If there is no front end I/O, return 128 nodes to process in each
incremental loop, otherwise only 10 nodes are returned. Then front I/O
is able to access the btree earlier.
- btree_gc_sleep_ms()
If there is no synchronized wait for bucket allocation, sleep 100 ms
between two incremental GC loop. Othersize only sleep 10 ms before
incremental GC loop. Then a faster GC may provide available buckets
earlier, to avoid most of bcache working threads from being starved by
buckets allocation.
The idea is inspired by works from Mingzhe Zou and Robert Pang, but much

Bcache allocator initially has no free space to allocate. Firstly it
does a garbage collection which is triggered by a cache device write
and fills free space into ca->free[] lists. The discard happens after
the free bucket is handled by garbage collection added into one of the
ca->free[] lists. But normally this bucket will be allocated out very
soon to requester and filled data onto it. The discard hint on this
bucket LBA range doesn't help SSD control to improve internal erasure
performance, and waste extra CPU cycles to issue discard bios.

dm_zone_get_reset_bitmap() is used to generate a bitmap of the zones of

callback set to the function dm_zone_need_reset_cb() in struct
dm_report_zones_args. However, the cb callback pointer is not anymore
the same as the callback specified by callers of the
blkdev_report_zones() function. Rather, this is a DM internal callback

passed using struct blk_report_zones_args, introduced with commit

This commit changed the DM main report zones callback handler function
dm_report_zones_cb() to call the new disk_report_zone() so that callback

a no-op.

Previously, raid array used the maximum logical block size (LBS)
of all member disks. Adding a larger LBS disk at runtime could
unexpectedly increase RAID's LBS, risking corruption of existing
partitions. This can be reproduced by:
```
# LBS of sd[de] is 512 bytes, sdf is 4096 bytes.
mdadm -CRq /dev/md0 -l1 -n3 /dev/sd[de] missing --assume-clean
# LBS is 512
cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size
# create partition md0p1
parted -s /dev/md0 mklabel gpt mkpart primary 1MiB 100%
lsblk | grep md0p1
# LBS becomes 4096 after adding sdf
mdadm --add -q /dev/md0 /dev/sdf
cat /sys/block/md0/queue/logical_block_size
# partition lost
partprobe /dev/md0
lsblk | grep md0p1
```
Simply restricting larger-LBS disks is inflexible. In some scenarios,
only disks with 512 bytes LBS are available currently, but later, disks
with 4KB LBS may be added to the array.
Making LBS configurable is the best way to solve this scenario.
After this patch, the raid will:
- store LBS in disk metadata
- add a read-write sysfs 'mdX/logical_block_size'
Future mdadm should support setting LBS via metadata field during RAID
creation and the new sysfs. Though the kernel allows runtime LBS changes,
users should avoid modifying it after creating partitions or filesystems
to prevent compatibility issues.
Only 1.x metadata supports configurable LBS. 0.90 metadata inits all
fields to default values at auto-detect. Supporting 0.90 would require
more extensive changes and no such use case has been observed.
Note that many RAID paths rely on PAGE_SIZE alignment, including for
metadata I/O. A larger LBS than PAGE_SIZE will result in metadata
read/write failures. So this config should be prevented.

Prepare for making logical blocksize configurable. This change has no
impact until logical block size becomes configurable.
Move raid0_set_limits() before create_strip_zones(). It is safe as fields
modified in create_strip_zones() do not involve mddev configuration, and
rdev modifications there are not used in raid0_set_limits().
'blksize' in create_strip_zones() fetches mddev's logical block size,
which is already the maximum aross all rdevs, so the later max() can be
removed.

md: cannot register extra attributes for md0
Creation of it depends on 'pers', its lifecycle cannot be aligned with
gendisk. So fix this issue by triggering 'md_redundancy_group' deletion
when the array is becoming inactive.

When adding a disk to a md array, avoid updating the array's
logical_block_size to match the new disk. This prevents accidental
partition table loss that renders the array unusable.
The later patch will introduce a way to configure the array's
logical_block_size.
The issue was introduced before Linux 2.6.12-rc2.

There is one uaf issue in recv_work when running NBD_CLEAR_SOCK and
NBD_CMD_RECONFIGURE:
nbd_genl_connect // conf_ref=2 (connect and recv_work A)
nbd_open // conf_ref=3
recv_work A done // conf_ref=2
NBD_CLEAR_SOCK // conf_ref=1
nbd_genl_reconfigure // conf_ref=2 (trigger recv_work B)
close nbd // conf_ref=1
recv_work B
config_put // conf_ref=0
atomic_dec(&config->recv_threads); -> UAF
Or only running NBD_CLEAR_SOCK:
nbd_genl_connect // conf_ref=2
nbd_open // conf_ref=3
NBD_CLEAR_SOCK // conf_ref=2
close nbd
nbd_release
config_put // conf_ref=1
recv_work
config_put // conf_ref=0
atomic_dec(&config->recv_threads); -> UAF
Commit 87aac3a80a ("nbd: call nbd_config_put() before notifying the
waiter") moved nbd_config_put() to run before waking up the waiter in
recv_work, in order to ensure that nbd_start_device_ioctl() would not
be woken up while nbd->task_recv was still uncleared.
However, in nbd_start_device_ioctl(), after being woken up it explicitly
calls flush_workqueue() to make sure all current works are finished.
Therefore, there is no need to move the config put ahead of the wakeup.
Move nbd_config_put() to the end of recv_work, so that the reference is
held for the whole lifetime of the worker thread. This makes sure the
config cannot be freed while recv_work is still running, even if clear
+ reconfigure interleave.
In addition, we don't need to worry about recv_work dropping the last
nbd_put (which causes deadlock):
path A (netlink with NBD_CFLAG_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT):
connect // nbd_refs=1 (trigger recv_work)
open nbd // nbd_refs=2
NBD_CLEAR_SOCK
close nbd
nbd_release
nbd_disconnect_and_put
flush_workqueue // recv_work done
nbd_config_put
nbd_put // nbd_refs=1
nbd_put // nbd_refs=0
queue_work
path B (netlink without NBD_CFLAG_DESTROY_ON_DISCONNECT):
connect // nbd_refs=2 (trigger recv_work)
open nbd // nbd_refs=3
NBD_CLEAR_SOCK // conf_refs=2

The sequence is:
1. rdev remove path gets reconfig_mutex
2. rdev remove path release reconfig_mutex in mddev_unlock
3. md stop calls do_md_stop and sets MD_DELETED
4. rdev remove path calls del_gendisk because MD_DELETED is set
5. md stop path release reconfig_mutex and calls del_gendisk again
So there is a race condition we should resolve. This patch adds a
flag MD_DO_DELETE to avoid the race condition.

All the infrastructure has already been plumbed to support this for
stacked devices, so just enable the request_queue limits features flag.
A note about chunk sectors for linear arrays:
While it is possible to set a chunk sectors param for building a linear
array, this is for specifying the granularity at which data sectors from
the device are used. It is not the same as a stripe size, like for RAID0.
As such, it is not appropriate to set chunk_sectors request queue limit to
the same value, as chunk_sectors request limit is a boundary for which
requests cannot straddle.
However, request_queue limit max_hw_sectors is set to chunk sectors, which
almost has the same effect as setting chunk_sectors limit.

In sync del gendisk path, it deletes gendisk first and the directory
/sys/block/md is removed. Then it releases mddev kobj in a delayed work.
If we enable debug log in sysfs_remove_group, we can see the debug log
'sysfs group bitmap not found for kobject md'. It's the reason that the
parent kobj has been deleted, so it can't find parent directory.
In creating path, it allocs gendisk first, then adds mddev kobj. So it
should delete mddev kobj before deleting gendisk.
Before commit 9e59d60976 ("md: call del_gendisk in control path"), it
releases mddev kobj first. If the kobj hasn't been deleted, it does clean
job and deletes the kobj. Then it calls del_gendisk and releases gendisk
kobj. So it doesn't need to call kobject_del to delete mddev kobj. After
this patch, in sync del gendisk path, the sequence changes. So it needs
to call kobject_del to delete mddev kobj.
After this patch, the sequence is:
1. kobject del mddev kobj
2. del_gendisk deletes gendisk kobj
3. mddev_delayed_delete releases mddev kobj
4. md_kobj_release releases gendisk kobj
