block: only update request sector if needed
loop: Add sanity check for read/write_iter
The simple check of UBLK_IO_FLAG_OWNED_BY_SRV can avoid incorrect
register/unregister io buffer easily, so check it before calling
starting to register/un-register io buffer.
Also only allow io buffer register/unregister uring_cmd in case of
UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY.
Also mark argument 'ublk_queue *' of ublk_register_io_buf as const.

UBLK_F_USER_COPY and UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY are two different
features, and shouldn't be coupled together.
Commit 1f6540e2aa ("ublk: zc register/unregister bvec") enables
user copy automatically in case of UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY, this way
isn't correct.
So decouple zero copy from user copy, and use independent helper to
check each one.

There are currently two ways in which ublk server exit is detected by
ublk_drv:
1. uring_cmd cancellation. If there are any outstanding uring_cmds which
have not been completed to the ublk server when it exits, io_uring
calls the uring_cmd callback with a special cancellation flag as the
issuing task is exiting.
2. I/O timeout. This is needed in addition to the above to handle the
"saturated queue" case, when all I/Os for a given queue are in the
ublk server, and therefore there are no outstanding uring_cmds to
cancel when the ublk server exits.
There are a couple of issues with this approach:
- It is complex and inelegant to have two methods to detect the same
condition
- The second method detects ublk server exit only after a long delay
(~30s, the default timeout assigned by the block layer). This delays
the nosrv behavior from kicking in and potential subsequent recovery
of the device.
The second issue is brought to light with the new test_generic_06 which
will be added in following patch. It fails before this fix:
selftests: ublk: test_generic_06.sh
dev id is 0
dd: error writing '/dev/ublkb0': Input/output error
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes copied, 30.0611 s, 0.0 kB/s
DEAD
dd took 31 seconds to exit (>= 5s tolerance)!
generic_06 : [FAIL]
Fix this by instead detecting and handling ublk server exit in the
character file release callback. This has several advantages:
- This one place can handle both saturated and unsaturated queues. Thus,
it replaces both preexisting methods of detecting ublk server exit.
- It runs quickly on ublk server exit - there is no 30s delay.
- It starts the process of removing task references in ublk_drv. This is
needed if we want to relax restrictions in the driver like letting
only one thread serve each queue
There is also the disadvantage that the character file release callback
can also be triggered by intentional close of the file, which is a
significant behavior change. Preexisting ublk servers (libublksrv) are
dependent on the ability to open/close the file multiple times. To
address this, only transition to a nosrv state if the file is released
while the ublk device is live. This allows for programs to open/close
the file multiple times during setup. It is still a behavior change if a
ublk server decides to close/reopen the file while the device is LIVE
(i.e. while it is responsible for serving I/O), but that would be highly
unusual. This behavior is in line with what is done by FUSE, which is
very similar to ublk in that a userspace daemon is providing services
traditionally provided by the kernel.
With this change in, the new test (and all other selftests, and all
ublksrv tests) pass:
selftests: ublk: test_generic_06.sh
dev id is 0
dd: error writing '/dev/ublkb0': Input/output error
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes copied, 0.0376731 s, 0.0 kB/s
DEAD
generic_04 : [PASS]

ublk_ch_release() is called after ublk char device is closed, when all
uring_cmd are done, so it is perfect fine to move ublk device reset to
ublk_ch_release() from ublk_ctrl_start_recovery().
This way can avoid to grab the exiting daemon task_struct too long.
However, reset of the following ublk IO flags has to be moved until ublk
io_uring queues are ready:
- ubq->canceling
For requeuing IO in case of ublk_nosrv_dev_should_queue_io() before device
is recovered
- ubq->fail_io
For failing IO in case of UBLK_F_USER_RECOVERY_FAIL_IO before device is
recovered
- ublk_io->flags
For preventing using io->cmd
With this way, recovery is simplified a lot.

Now ublk deals with ublk_nosrv_dev_should_queue_io() by keeping request
queue as quiesced. This way is fragile because queue quiesce crosses syscalls
or process contexts.
Switch to rely on ubq->canceling for dealing with
ublk_nosrv_dev_should_queue_io(), because it has been used for this purpose
during io_uring context exiting, and it can be reused before recovering too.
In ublk_queue_rq(), the request will be added to requeue list without
kicking off requeue in case of ubq->canceling, and finally requests added in
requeue list will be dispatched from either ublk_stop_dev() or
ublk_ctrl_end_recovery().
Meantime we have to move reset of ubq->canceling from ublk_ctrl_start_recovery()
to ublk_ctrl_end_recovery(), when IO handling can be recovered completely.
Then blk_mq_quiesce_queue() and blk_mq_unquiesce_queue() are always used
in same context.

Most uring_cmds issued against ublk character devices are serialized
because each command affects only one queue, and there is an early check
which only allows a single task (the queue's ubq_daemon) to issue
uring_cmds against that queue. However, this mechanism does not work for
FETCH_REQs, since they are expected before ubq_daemon is set. Since
FETCH_REQs are only used at initialization and not in the fast path,
serialize them using the per-ublk-device mutex. This fixes a number of
data races that were previously possible if a badly behaved ublk server
decided to issue multiple FETCH_REQs against the same qid/tag
concurrently.

vfs_iter_{read,write} always perform direct I/O when the file has the
O_DIRECT flag set, which breaks disabling direct I/O using the
LOOP_SET_STATUS / LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctls.
This was recenly reported as a regression, but as far as I can tell
was only uncovered by better checking for block sizes and has been
around since the direct I/O support was added.
Fix this by using the existing aio code that calls the raw read/write
iter methods instead. Note that despite the comments there is no need
for block drivers to ever call flush_dcache_page themselves, and the
call is a left-over from prehistoric times.

The original commit message and the wording "uncork" in the code comment
indicate that it is expected that the suppressed event instances are
automatically sent after unsuppressing.
This is not the case, instead they are discarded.
In effect this means that no "changed" events are emitted on the device
itself by default.
While each discovered partition does trigger a changed event on the
device, devices without partitions don't have any event emitted.
This makes udev miss the device creation and prompted workarounds in
userspace. See the linked util-linux/losetup bug.
Explicitly emit the events and drop the confusingly worded comments.

blk_mq_alloc_disk() already zero-initializes the destination buffer,
making strscpy() sufficient for safely copying the disk's name. The
additional NUL-padding performed by strscpy_pad() is unnecessary.
If the destination buffer has a fixed length, strscpy() automatically
determines its size using sizeof() when the argument is omitted. This
makes the explicit size argument unnecessary.
The source string is also NUL-terminated and meets the __must_be_cstr()
requirement of strscpy().
No functional changes intended.

Pull Rust updates from Miguel Ojeda:
"Toolchain and infrastructure:
- Extract the 'pin-init' API from the 'kernel' crate and make it into
a standalone crate.
In order to do this, the contents are rearranged so that they can
easily be kept in sync with the version maintained out-of-tree that
other projects have started to use too (or plan to, like QEMU).
This will reduce the maintenance burden for Benno, who will now
have his own sub-tree, and will simplify future expected changes
like the move to use 'syn' to simplify the implementation.
- Add '#[test]'-like support based on KUnit.
We already had doctests support based on KUnit, which takes the
examples in our Rust documentation and runs them under KUnit.
Now, we are adding the beginning of the support for "normal" tests,
similar to those the '#[test]' tests in userspace Rust. For
instance:
#[kunit_tests(my_suite)]
mod tests {
#[test]
fn my_test() {
assert_eq!(1 + 1, 2);
}
}
Unlike with doctests, the 'assert*!'s do not map to the KUnit
assertion APIs yet.
- Check Rust signatures at compile time for functions called from C
by name.
In particular, introduce a new '#[export]' macro that can be placed
in the Rust function definition. It will ensure that the function
declaration on the C side matches the signature on the Rust
function:
#[export]
pub unsafe extern "C" fn my_function(a: u8, b: i32) -> usize {
// ...
}
The macro essentially forces the compiler to compare the types of
the actual Rust function and the 'bindgen'-processed C signature.
These cases are rare so far. In the future, we may consider
introducing another tool, 'cbindgen', to generate C headers
automatically. Even then, having these functions explicitly marked
may be a good idea anyway.
- Enable the 'raw_ref_op' Rust feature: it is already stable, and
allows us to use the new '&raw' syntax, avoiding a couple macros.
After everyone has migrated, we will disallow the macros.
- Pass the correct target to 'bindgen' on Usermode Linux.
- Fix 'rusttest' build in macOS.
'kernel' crate:
- New 'hrtimer' module: add support for setting up intrusive timers
without allocating when starting the timer. Add support for
'Pin<Box<_>>', 'Arc<_>', 'Pin<&_>' and 'Pin<&mut _>' as pointer
types for use with timer callbacks. Add support for setting clock
source and timer mode.
- New 'dma' module: add a simple DMA coherent allocator abstraction
and a test sample driver.
- 'list' module: make the linked list 'Cursor' point between
elements, rather than at an element, which is more convenient to us
and allows for cursors to empty lists; and document it with
examples of how to perform common operations with the provided
methods.
- 'str' module: implement a few traits for 'BStr' as well as the
'strip_prefix()' method.
- 'sync' module: add 'Arc::as_ptr'.
- 'alloc' module: add 'Box::into_pin'.
- 'error' module: extend the 'Result' documentation, including a few
examples on different ways of handling errors, a warning about
using methods that may panic, and links to external documentation.
'macros' crate:
- 'module' macro: add the 'authors' key to support multiple authors.
The original key will be kept until everyone has migrated.
Documentation:
- Add error handling sections.
MAINTAINERS:
- Add Danilo Krummrich as reviewer of the Rust "subsystem".
- Add 'RUST [PIN-INIT]' entry with Benno Lossin as maintainer. It has
its own sub-tree.
- Add sub-tree for 'RUST [ALLOC]'.
- Add 'DMA MAPPING HELPERS DEVICE DRIVER API [RUST]' entry with
Abdiel Janulgue as primary maintainer. It will go through the
sub-tree of the 'RUST [ALLOC]' entry.
- Add 'HIGH-RESOLUTION TIMERS [RUST]' entry with Andreas Hindborg as
maintainer. It has its own sub-tree.
And a few other cleanups and improvements"

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 io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the first of the io_uring pull requests for the 6.15 merge
window, there will be others once the net tree has gone in. This
contains:
- Cleanup and unification of cancelation handling across various
request types.
- Improvement for bundles, supporting them both for incrementally
consumed buffers, and for non-multishot requests.
- Enable toggling of using iowait while waiting on io_uring events or
not. Unfortunately this is still tied with CPU frequency boosting
on short waits, as the scheduler side has not been very receptive
to splitting the (useless) iowait stat from the cpufreq implied
boost.
- Add support for kbuf nodes, enabling zero-copy support for the ublk
block driver.
- Various cleanups for resource node handling.
- Series greatly cleaning up the legacy provided (non-ring based)
buffers. For years, we've been pushing the ring provided buffers as
the way to go, and that is what people have been using. Reduce the
complexity and code associated with legacy provided buffers.
- Series cleaning up the compat handling.
- Series improving and cleaning up the recvmsg/sendmsg iovec and msg
handling.
- Series of cleanups for io-wq.
- Start adding a bunch of selftests. The liburing repository
generally carries feature and regression tests for everything, but
at least for ublk initially, we'll try and go the route of having
it in selftests as well. We'll see how this goes, might decide to
migrate more tests this way in the future.
