Implement ->queue_rqs() for improving perf in case of MQ.
In this way, we just need to call io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task() once for
whole IO batch, then both io_uring and ublk server can get exact batch from
ublk frontend.
Follows IOPS improvement:
- tests
tools/testing/selftests/ublk/kublk add -t null -q 2 [-z]
fio/t/io_uring -p0 /dev/ublkb0
- results:
more than 10% IOPS boost observed
Pass all ublk selftests, especially the io dispatch order test.

IO split is usually bad in io_uring world, since -EAGAIN is caused and
IO handling may have to fallback to io-wq, this way does hurt performance.
ublk starts to support zero copy recently, for avoiding unnecessary IO
split, ublk driver's segment limit should be aligned with backend
device's segment limit.
Another reason is that io_buffer_register_bvec() needs to allocate bvecs,
which number is aligned with ublk request segment number, so that big
memory allocation can be avoided by setting reasonable max_segments limit.
So add segment parameter for providing ublk server chance to align
segment limit with backend, and keep it reasonable from implementation
viewpoint.

Now ublk driver depends on `ubq->canceling` for deciding if the request
can be dispatched via uring_cmd & io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task().
Once ubq->canceling is set, the uring_cmd can be done via ublk_cancel_cmd()
and io_uring_cmd_done().
So set ubq->canceling when queue is frozen, this way makes sure that the
flag can be observed from ublk_queue_rq() reliably, and avoids
use-after-free on uring_cmd.

Pull more io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
"Final separate updates for io_uring.
This started out as a series of cleanups improvements and improvements
for registered buffers, but as the last series of the io_uring changes
for 6.15, it also collected a few fixes for the other branches on top:
- Add support for vectored fixed/registered buffers.
Previously only single segments have been supported for commands,
now vectored variants are supported as well. This series includes
networking and file read/write support.
- Small series unifying return codes across multi and single shot.
- Small series cleaning up registerd buffer importing.
- Adding support for vectored registered buffers for uring_cmd.
- Fix for io-wq handling of command reissue.
- Various little fixes and tweaks"

Pull io_uring epoll support from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for reading epoll events via io_uring.
While this may seem counter-intuitive (and/or productive), the
reasoning here is that quite a few existing epoll event loops can
easily do a partial conversion to a completion based model, but are
still stuck with one (or few) event types that remain readiness based.
For that case, they then need to add the io_uring fd to the epoll
context, and continue to rely on epoll_wait(2) for waiting on events.
This misses out on the finer grained waiting that io_uring can do, to
reduce context switches and wait for multiple events in one batch
reliably.
With adding support for reaping epoll events via io_uring, the whole
legacy readiness based event types can still be reaped via epoll, with
the overall waiting in the loop be driven by io_uring"

Pull io_uring zero-copy receive support from Jens Axboe:
"This adds support for zero-copy receive with io_uring, enabling fast
bulk receive of data directly into application memory, rather than
needing to copy the data out of kernel memory.
While this version only supports host memory as that was the initial
target, other memory types are planned as well, with notably GPU
memory coming next.
This work depends on some networking components which were queued up
on the networking side, but have now landed in your tree.
This is the work of Pavel Begunkov and David Wei. From the v14 posting:
'We configure a page pool that a driver uses to fill a hw rx queue
to hand out user pages instead of kernel pages. Any data that ends
up hitting this hw rx queue will thus be dma'd into userspace
memory directly, without needing to be bounced through kernel
memory. 'Reading' data out of a socket instead becomes a
_notification_ mechanism, where the kernel tells userspace where
the data is. The overall approach is similar to the devmem TCP
proposal
This relies on hw header/data split, flow steering and RSS to
ensure packet headers remain in kernel memory and only desired
flows hit a hw rx queue configured for zero copy. Configuring this
is outside of the scope of this patchset.
We share netdev core infra with devmem TCP. The main difference is
that io_uring is used for the uAPI and the lifetime of all objects
are bound to an io_uring instance. Data is 'read' using a new
io_uring request type. When done, data is returned via a new shared
refill queue. A zero copy page pool refills a hw rx queue from this
refill queue directly. Of course, the lifetime of these data
buffers are managed by io_uring rather than the networking stack,
with different refcounting rules.
This patchset is the first step adding basic zero copy support. We
will extend this iteratively with new features e.g. dynamically
allocated zero copy areas, THP support, dmabuf support, improved
copy fallback, general optimisations and more'
In a local setup, I was able to saturate a 200G link with a single CPU
core, and at netdev conf 0x19 earlier this month, Jamal reported
188Gbit of bandwidth using a single core (no HT, including soft-irq).
Safe to say the efficiency is there, as bigger links would be needed
to find the per-core limit, and it's considerably more efficient and
faster than the existing devmem solution"

Pull tracing tooling updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Allow RTLA to collect data via BPF
The current implementation of rtla uses libtracefs and libtraceevent
to pull sample events generated by the timerlat tracer from the trace
buffer. rtla then processes the sample by updating the histogram and
summary (current, maximum, minimum, and sum values) as well as checks
if tracing has been stopped due to threshold overflow.
In use cases where a large number of samples is being generated, that
is, with measurements running on many CPUs and with a low interval,
this sample processing design causes a significant CPU load on the
rtla side. Furthermore, with >100 CPUs and 100us interval, rtla was
reported as not being able to keep up with the samples and dropping
most of them, leading to it being unusable.
Change the way the timerlat trace processes samples by attaching a
BPF program to the trace event using the BPF skeleton feature of
bpftool. Unlike the current implementation, the BPF implementation
does not check whether tracing is stopped (in BPF mode, tracing is
always off to improve performance), but waits for a write to a BPF
ringbuffer instead. This allows rtla to exit immediately when a
threshold is violated, without waiting for the next iteration of the
while loop.
If the requirements for the BPF implementation are not met, either at
build time or at run time, the current implementation is used as
fallback. Which implementation is being used can be seen when running
rtla timerlat with "-D" option. rtla can be forced to run in non-BPF
mode by setting the RTLA_NO_BPF option to 1, for debugging purposes.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Add option traceoff_after_boot
In order to debug kernel boot, it sometimes is helpful to enable
tracing via the kernel command line. Unfortunately, by the time the
login prompt appears, the trace is overwritten by the init process
and other user space start up applications.
Adding a "traceoff_after_boot" will disable tracing when the kernel
passes control to init which will allow developers to be able to see
the traces that occurred during boot.
- Clean up the mmflags macros that display the GFP flags in trace
events
The macros to print the GFP flags for trace events had a bit of
duplication. The code was restructured to remove duplication and in
the process it also adds some flags that were missed before.

- Add some trace events to osnoise and timerlat sample generation

- Fix to DECLARE_TRACE_CONDITION() macro
It wasn't used but now will be and it happened to be broken causing
the build to fail.
- Add scheduler specification monitors to runtime verifier (RV)
This is a continuation of Daniel Bristot's work.
RV allows monitors to run and react concurrently. Running the
cumulative model is equivalent to running single components using the
same reactors, with the advantage that it's easier to point out which
specification failed in case of error.
This update introduces nested monitors to RV, in short, the sysfs
monitor folder will contain a monitor named sched, which is nothing
but an empty container for other monitors. Controlling the sched
monitor (enable, disable, set reactors) controls all nested monitors.
The following scheduling monitors are added:
- sco: scheduling context operations
Monitor to ensure sched_set_state happens only in thread context
- tss: task switch while scheduling
Monitor to ensure sched_switch happens only in scheduling context
- snroc: set non runnable on its own context

- Record function parameters for function and function graph tracers
An option has been added to function tracer (func-args) and the
function graph tracer (funcgraph-args) that when set, the tracers
will record the registers that hold the arguments into each function
event. On reading of the trace, it will use BTF to print those
arguments. Most archs support up to 6 arguments (depending on the
complexity of the arguments) and those are printed.
If a function has more arguments then what was recorded, the output

Pull tracing / sorttable updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Implement arm64 build time sorting of the mcount location table
When gcc is used to build arm64, the mcount_loc section is all zeros
in the vmlinux elf file. The addresses are stored in the Elf_Rela
location.
To sort at build time, an array is allocated and the addresses are
added to it via the content of the mcount_loc section as well as he
Elf_Rela data. After sorting, the information is put back into the
Elf_Rela which now has the section sorted.
- Make sorting of mcount location table for arm64 work with clang as
well
When clang is used, the mcount_loc section contains the addresses,
unlike the gcc build. An array is still created and the sorting works
for both methods.
- Remove weak functions from the mcount_loc section
Have the sorttable code pass in the data of functions defined via
'nm -S' which shows the functions as well as their sizes. Using this
information the sorttable code can determine if a function in the
mcount_loc section was weak and overridden. If the function is not
found, it is set to be zero. On boot, when the mcount_loc section is
read and the ftrace table is created, if the address in the
mcount_loc is not in the kernel core text then it is removed and not
added to the ftrace_filter_functions (the functions that can be
attached by ftrace callbacks).
- Update and fix the reporting of how much data is used for ftrace
functions
On boot, a report of how many pages were used by the ftrace table as
well as how they were grouped (the table holds a list of sections
that are groups of pages that were able to be allocated). The
removing of the weak functions required the accounting to be updated.

Pull bcachefs updates from Kent Overstreet:
"On disk format is now soft frozen: no more required/automatic are
anticipated before taking off the experimental label.
Major changes/features since 6.14:
- Scrub
- Blocksize greater than page size support
- A number of "rebalance spinning and doing no work" issues have been
fixed; we now check if the write allocation will succeed in
bch2_data_update_init(), before kicking off the read.
There's still more work to do in this area. Later we may want to
add another bitset btree, like rebalance_work, to track "extents
that rebalance was requested to move but couldn't", e.g. due to
destination target having insufficient online devices.
- We can now support scaling well into the petabyte range: latest
bcachefs-tools will pick an appropriate bucket size at format time
to ensure fsck can run in available memory (e.g. a server with
256GB of ram and 100PB of storage would want 16MB buckets).
On disk format changes:
- 1.21: cached backpointers (scalability improvement)
Cached replicas now get backpointers, which means we no longer rely
on incrementing bucket generation numbers to invalidate cached
data: this lets us get rid of the bucket generation number garbage
collection, which had to periodically rescan all extents to
recompute bucket oldest_gen.
Bucket generation numbers are now only used as a consistency check,
but they're quite useful for that.
- 1.22: stripe backpointers
Stripes now have backpointers: erasure coded stripes have their own
checksums, separate from the checksums for the extents they contain
(and stripe checksums also cover the parity blocks). This is
required for implementing scrub for stripes.
- 1.23: stripe lru (scalability improvement)
Persistent lru for stripes, ordered by "number of empty blocks".
This is used by the stripe creation path, which depending on free
space may create a new stripe out of a partially empty existing
stripe instead of starting a brand new stripe.
This replaces an in-memory heap, and means we no longer have to
read in the stripes btree at startup.
- 1.24: casefolding
Case insensitive directory support, courtesy of Valve.
This is an incompatible feature, to enable mount with
-o version_upgrade=incompatible
- 1.25: extent_flags
Another incompatible feature requiring explicit opt-in to enable.
This adds a flags entry to extents, and a flag bit that marks
extents as poisoned.
A poisoned extent is an extent that was unreadable due to checksum
errors. We can't move such extents without giving them a new
checksum, and we may have to move them (for e.g. copygc or device
evacuate). We also don't want to delete them: in the future we'll
have an API that lets userspace ignore checksum errors and attempt
to deal with simple bitrot itself. Marking them as poisoned lets us
continue to return the correct error to userspace on normal read
calls.
Other changes/features:
- BCH_IOCTL_QUERY_COUNTERS: this is used by the new 'bcachefs fs top'
command, which shows a live view of all internal filesystem
counters.
- Improved journal pipelining: we can now have 16 journal writes in
flight concurrently, up from 4. We're logging significantly more to
the journal than we used to with all the recent disk accounting
changes and additions, so some users should see a performance
increase on some workloads.
- BCH_MEMBER_STATE_failed: previously, we would do no IO at all to
devices marked as failed. Now we will attempt to read from them,
but only if we have no better options.
- New option, write_error_timeout: devices will be kicked out of the
filesystem if all writes have been failing for x number of seconds.
We now also kick devices out when notified by blk_holder_ops that
they've gone offline.
- Device option handling improvements: the discard option should now
be working as expected (additionally, in -tools, all device options
that can be set at format time can now be set at device add time,
i.e. data_allowed, state).
- We now try harder to read data after a checksum error: we'll do
additional retries if necessary to a device after after it gave us
data with a checksum error.
- More self healing work: the full inode <-> dirent consistency
checks that are currently run by fsck are now also run every time
we do a lookup, meaning we'll be able to correct errors at runtime.
Runtime self healing will be flipped on after the new changes have
seen more testing, currently they're just checking for consistency.
- KMSAN fixes: our KMSAN builds should be nearly clean now, which
will put a massive dent in the syzbot dashboard"
