nvmet-tcp: Don't free SQ on authentication success
Curently after the host sends a REPLACETLSPSK we free the TLS keys as
part of calling nvmet_auth_sq_free() on success. This means when the
host sends a follow up REPLACETLSPSK we return CONCAT_MISMATCH as the
check for !nvmet_queue_tls_keyid(req->sq) fails.
This patch ensures we don't free the TLS key on success as we might need
it again in the future.

nvmet-tcp: Don't error if TLS is enabed on a reset
If the host sends a AUTH_Negotiate Message on the admin queue with

This change only enforces the nvmet_queue_tls_keyid() check if we aren't

md/raid5: skip 2-failure compute when other disk is R5_LOCKED
When skip_copy is enabled on a doubly-degraded RAID6, a device that is
being written to will be in R5_LOCKED state with R5_UPTODATE cleared.
If a new read triggers fetch_block() while the write is still in
flight, the 2-failure compute path may select this locked device as a
compute target because it is not R5_UPTODATE.
Because skip_copy makes the device page point directly to the bio page,
reconstructing data into it might be risky. Also, since the compute
marks the device R5_UPTODATE, it triggers WARN_ON in ops_run_io()
which checks that R5_SkipCopy and R5_UPTODATE are not both set.
This can be reproduced by running small-range concurrent read/write on

blk-integrity: support arbitrary buffer alignment
A bio segment may have partial interval block data with the rest
continuing into the next segments because direct-io data payloads only
need to align in memory to the device's DMA limits.
At the same time, the protection information may also be split in
multiple segments. The most likely way that may happen is if two
requests merge, or if we're directly using the io_uring user metadata.
The generate/verify, however, only ever accessed the first bip_vec.
Further, it may be possible to unalign the protection fields from the
user space buffer, or if there are odd additional opaque bytes in front
or in back of the protection information metadata region.
Change up the iteration to allow spanning multiple segments. This patch
is mostly a re-write of the protection information handling to allow any
arbitrary alignments, so it's probably easier to review the end result
rather than the diff.
Many controllers are not able to handle interval data composed of
multiple segments when PI is used, so this patch introduces a new
integrity limit that a low level driver can set to notify that it is
capable, default to false. The nvme driver is the first one to enable it
in this patch. Everyone else will force DMA alignment to the logical
block size as before to ensure interval data is always aligned within a
single segment.

When a bio goes through the rq_qos infrastructure on a path's request
queue, it gets BIO_QOS_THROTTLED or BIO_QOS_MERGED flags set. These
flags indicate that rq_qos_done_bio() should be called on completion
to update rq_qos accounting.
During path failover in nvme_failover_req(), the bio's bi_bdev is
redirected from the failed path's disk to the multipath head's disk
via bio_set_dev(). However, the BIO_QOS flags are not cleared.
When the bio eventually completes (either successfully via a new path
or with an error via bio_io_error()), rq_qos_done_bio() checks for
these flags and calls __rq_qos_done_bio(q->rq_qos, bio) where q is
obtained from the bio's current bi_bdev - which is now the multipath
head's queue, not the original path's queue.
The multipath head's queue does not have rq_qos enabled (q->rq_qos is
NULL), but the code assumes that if BIO_QOS_* flags are set, q->rq_qos
must be valid.
This breaks when a bio is moved between queues during NVMe multipath
failover, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.

block: allow submitting all zone writes from a single context
In order to maintain sequential write patterns per zone with zoned block
devices, zone write plugging issues only a single write BIO per zone at
any time. This works well but has the side effect that when large
sequential write streams are issued by the user and these streams cross
zone boundaries, the device ends up receiving a discontiguous set of
write commands for different zones. The same also happens when a user
writes simultaneously at high queue depth multiple zones: the device
does not see all sequential writes per zone and receives discontiguous
writes to different zones. While this does not affect the performance of
solid state zoned block devices, when using an SMR HDD, this pattern
change from sequential writes to discontiguous writes to different zones
significantly increases head seek which results in degraded write
throughput.
In order to reduce this seek overhead for rotational media devices,
introduce a per disk zone write plugs kernel thread to issue all write
BIOs to zones. This single zone write issuing context is enabled for
any zoned block device that has a request queue flagged with the new
QUEUE_ZONED_QD1_WRITES flag.
The flag QUEUE_ZONED_QD1_WRITES is visible as the sysfs queue attribute
zoned_qd1_writes for zoned devices. For regular block devices, this
attribute is not visible. For zoned block devices, a user can override
the default value set to force the global write maximum queue depth of
1 for a zoned block device, or clear this attribute to fallback to the
default behavior of zone write plugging which limits writes to QD=1 per
sequential zone.
Writing to a zoned block device flagged with QUEUE_ZONED_QD1_WRITES is
implemented using a list of zone write plugs that have a non-empty BIO
list. Listed zone write plugs are processed by the disk zone write plugs
worker kthread in FIFO order, and all BIOs of a zone write plug are all
processed before switching to the next listed zone write plug. A newly
submitted BIO for a non-FULL zone write plug that is not yet listed
causes the addition of the zone write plug at the end of the disk list
of zone write plugs.
Since the write BIOs queued in a zone write plug BIO list are
necessarilly sequential, for rotational media, using the single zone
write plugs kthread to issue all BIOs maintains a sequential write
pattern and thus reduces seek overhead and improves write throughput.
This processing essentially result in always writing to HDDs at QD=1,
which is not an issue for HDDs operating with write caching enabled.
Performance with write cache disabled is also not degraded thanks to
the efficient write handling of modern SMR HDDs.
A disk list of zone write plugs is defined using the new struct gendisk
zone_wplugs_list, and accesses to this list is protected using the
zone_wplugs_list_lock spinlock. The per disk kthread
(zone_wplugs_worker) code is implemented by the function
disk_zone_wplugs_worker(). A reference on listed zone write plugs is
always held until all BIOs of the zone write plug are processed by the
worker kthread. BIO issuing at QD=1 is driven using a completion
structure (zone_wplugs_worker_bio_done) and calls to blk_io_wait().
With this change, performance when sequentially writing the zones of a
30 TB SMR SATA HDD connected to an AHCI adapter changes as follows
(1MiB direct I/Os, results in MB/s unit):
With the current code (baseline), as the sequential write stream crosses
a zone boundary, higher queue depth creates a gap between the
last IO to the previous zone and the first IOs to the following zones,
causing head seeks and degrading performance. Using the disk zone
write plugs worker thread, this pattern disappears and the maximum
throughput of the drive is maintained, leading to over 100%
improvements in throughput for high queue depth write.
Using 16 fio jobs all writing to randomly chosen zones at QD=32 with 1
MiB direct IOs, write throughput also increases significantly.
Performance gains are even more significant when using an HBA that
limits the maximum size of commands to a small value, e.g. HBAs
controlled with the mpi3mr driver limit commands to a maximum of 1 MiB.
In such case, the write throughput gains are over 40%.

block: fix zone write plug removal
Commit 7b295187287e ("block: Do not remove zone write plugs still in
use") modified disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() to add a check on the
reference count of a zone write plug to prevent removing zone write
plugs from a disk hash table when the plugs are still being referenced
by BIOs or requests in-flight. However, this check does not take into
account that a BIO completion may happen right after its submission by
a zone write plug BIO work, and before the zone write plug BIO work
releases the zone write plug reference count. This situation leads to
disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() returning false as in this case the zone
write plug reference count is at least equal to 3. If the BIO that
completes in such manner transitioned the zone to the FULL condition,
the zone write plug for the FULL zone will remain in the disk hash
table.
Furthermore, relying on a particular value of a zone write plug
reference count to set the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED flag is fragile as
reading the atomic reference count and doing a comparison with some
value is not overall atomic at all.
Address these issues by reworking the reference counting of zone write
plugs so that removing plugs from a disk hash table can be done
directly from disk_put_zone_wplug() when the last reference on a plug
is dropped.
To do so, replace the function disk_remove_zone_wplug() with
disk_mark_zone_wplug_dead(). This new function sets the zone write plug
flag BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEAD (which replaces BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED) and
drops the initial reference on the zone write plug taken when the plug
was added to the disk hash table. This function is called either for
zones that are empty or full, or directly in the case of a forced plug
removal (e.g. when the disk hash table is being destroyed on disk
removal). With this change, disk_should_remove_zone_wplug() is also
removed.
disk_put_zone_wplug() is modified to call the function
disk_free_zone_wplug() to remove a zone write plug from a disk hash
table and free the plug structure (with a call_rcu()), when the last
reference on a zone write plug is dropped. disk_free_zone_wplug()
always checks that the BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEAD flag is set.
In order to avoid having multiple zone write plugs for the same zone in
the disk hash table, disk_get_and_lock_zone_wplug() checked for the
BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_UNHASHED flag. This check is removed and a check for
the new BLK_ZONE_WPLUG_DEAD flag is added to
blk_zone_wplug_handle_write(). With this change, we continue preventing
adding multiple zone write plugs for the same zone and at the same time
re-inforce checks on the user behavior by failing new incoming write
BIOs targeting a zone that is marked as dead. This case can happen only
if the user erroneously issues write BIOs to zones that are full, or to
zones that are currently being reset or finished.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in trace_data_alloc()
On the trace_data_alloc() error path, it can call trigger_data_free()
with a NULL pointer. This used to be a kfree() but was changed to
trigger_data_free() to clean up any partial initialization. The issue
is that trigger_data_free() does not expect a NULL pointer. Have
trigger_data_free() return safely on NULL pointer.
- Fix multiple events on the command line and bootconfig
If multiple events are enabled on the command line separately and not
grouped, only the last event gets enabled. That is:
trace_event=sched_switch trace_event=sched_waking
will only enable sched_waking whereas:
trace_event=sched_switch,sched_waking
will enable both.
The bootconfig makes it even worse as the second way is the more
common method.
The issue is that a temporary buffer is used to store the events to
enable later in boot. Each time the cmdline callback is called, it
overwrites what was previously there.
Have the callback append the next value (delimited by a comma) if the
temporary buffer already has content.
- Fix command line trace_buffer_size if >= 2G
The logic to allocate the trace buffer uses "int" for the size
parameter in the command line code causing overflow issues if more
that 2G is specified.

resolve_btfids: Fix linker flags detection
The "|| echo -lzstd" default makes zstd an unconditional link
dependency of resolve_btfids. On systems where libzstd-dev is not
installed and pkg-config fails, the linker fails:
ld: cannot find -lzstd: No such file or directory
libzstd is a transitive dependency of libelf, so the -lzstd flag is
strictly necessary only for static builds [1].
Remove ZSTD_LIBS variable, and instead set LIBELF_LIBS depending on
whether the build is static or not. Use $(HOSTPKG_CONFIG) as primary
source of the flags list.
Also add a default value for HOSTPKG_CONFIG in case it's not built via
the toplevel Makefile. Pass it from selftests/bpf too.

Pull driver core fix from Danilo Krummrich:
- Revert "driver core: enforce device_lock for driver_match_device()":
When a device is already present in the system and a driver is
registered on the same bus, we iterate over all devices registered on
this bus to see if one of them matches. If we come across an already
bound one where the corresponding driver crashed while holding the
device lock (e.g. in probe()) we can't make any progress anymore.
Thus, revert and clarify that an implementer of struct bus_type must
not expect match() to be called with the device lock held.

====================
bpf: Fix precision backtracking bug with linked registers
Emil Tsalapatis reported a verifier bug hit by the scx_lavd sched_ext
scheduler. The essential part of the verifier log looks as follows:
436: ...
// checkpoint hit for 438: (1d) if r7 == r8 goto ...
frame 3: propagating r2,r7,r8
frame 2: propagating r6
mark_precise: frame3: last_idx ...
mark_precise: frame3: regs=r2,r7,r8 stack= before 436: ...
mark_precise: frame3: regs=r2,r7 stack= before 435: ...
mark_precise: frame3: regs=r2,r7 stack= before 434: (85) call bpf_trace_vprintk#177
verifier bug: backtracking call unexpected regs 84
The log complains that registers r2 and r7 are tracked as precise
while processing the bpf_trace_vprintk() call in precision backtracking.
This can't be right, as r2 is reset by the call and there is nothing
to backtrack it to. The precision propagation is triggered when
a checkpoint is hit at instruction 438, r2 is dead at that instruction.
This happens because of the following sequence of events:
- Instruction 438 is first reached with registers r2 and r7 having
the same id via a path that does not call bpf_trace_vprintk():
- Checkpoint is created at 438.
- The jump at 438 is predicted, hence r7 and registers linked to it
(r2) are propagated as precise, marking r2 and r7 precise in the
checkpoint.
- Instruction 438 is reached a second time with r2 undefined and via
a path that calls bpf_trace_vprintk():
- Checkpoint is hit.
- propagate_precision() picks registers r2 and r7 and propagates
precision marks for those up to the helper call.
The root cause is the fact that states_equal() and
propagate_precision() assume that the precision flag can't be set for a
dead register (as computed by compute_live_registers()).
However, this is not the case when linked registers are at play.
Fix this by accounting for live register flags in
collect_linked_regs().
---
====================
selftests/bpf: add reproducer for spurious precision propagation through calls
Add a test for the scenario described in the previous commit:
an iterator loop with two paths where one ties r2/r7 via
shared scalar id and skips a call, while the other goes
through the call. Precision marks from the linked registers
get spuriously propagated to the call path via
propagate_precision(), hitting "backtracking call unexpected
regs" in backtrack_insn().
