Linus Torvalds bf4afc53b7 Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\<k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Befor this patch :-

The bug is a double kobject_put() on dev->kobj during device cleanup.

Kobject Lifecycle:
  kobject_init_and_add()  sets kobj.kref = 1  (initialization)
  kobject_put()           sets kobj.kref = 0  (should be called once)

* Before this patch:

rnbd_clt_unmap_device()
  rnbd_destroy_sysfs()
    kobject_del(&dev->kobj)                   [remove from sysfs]
    kobject_put(&dev->kobj)                   PUT #1 (WRONG!)
      kref: 1 to 0
      rnbd_dev_release()
        kfree(dev)                            [DEVICE FREED!]

  rnbd_destroy_gen_disk()                     [use-after-free!]

  rnbd_clt_put_dev()
    refcount_dec_and_test(&dev->refcount)
    kobject_put(&dev->kobj)                   PUT #2 (UNDERFLOW!)
      kref: 0 to -1                           [WARNING!]

The first kobject_put() in rnbd_destroy_sysfs() prematurely frees the
device via rnbd_dev_release(), then the second kobject_put() in
rnbd_clt_put_dev() causes refcount underflow.

* After this patch :-

Remove kobject_put() from rnbd_destroy_sysfs(). This function should
only remove sysfs visibility (kobject_del), not manage object lifetime.

Call Graph (FIXED):

rnbd_clt_unmap_device()
  rnbd_destroy_sysfs()
    kobject_del(&dev->kobj)                   [remove from sysfs only]
                                              [kref unchanged: 1]

  rnbd_destroy_gen_disk()                     [device still valid]

  rnbd_clt_put_dev()
    refcount_dec_and_test(&dev->refcount)
    kobject_put(&dev->kobj)                   ONLY PUT (CORRECT!)
      kref: 1 to 0                            [BALANCED]
      rnbd_dev_release()
        kfree(dev)                            [CLEAN DESTRUCTION]

This follows the kernel pattern where sysfs removal (kobject_del) is
separate from object destruction (kobject_put).

Md Haris IqbalandJens Axboe 483cbec342 block/rnbd-proto: Handle PREFLUSH flag properly for IOs
In RNBD client, for a WRITE request of size 0, with only the REQ_PREFLUSH
bit set, while converting from bio_opf to rnbd_opf, we do REQ_OP_WRITE to
RNBD_OP_WRITE, and then check if the rq is flush through function
op_is_flush. That function checks both REQ_PREFLUSH and REQ_FUA flag, and
if any of them is set, the RNBD_F_FUA is set.
On the RNBD server side, while converting the RNBD flags to req flags, if
the RNBD_F_FUA flag is set, we just set the REQ_FUA flag. This means we
have lost the PREFLUSH flag, and added the REQ_FUA flag in its place.

This commits adds a new RNBD_F_PREFLUSH flag, and also adds separate
handling for REQ_PREFLUSH flag. On the server side, if the RNBD_F_PREFLUSH
is present, the REQ_PREFLUSH is added to the bio.

Since it is a change in the wire protocol, bump the minor version of
protocol.
The change is backwards compatible, and does not change the functionality
if either the client or the server is running older/newer versions.
If the client side is running the older version, both REQ_PREFLUSH and
REQ_FUA is converted to RNBD_F_FUA. The server running newer one would
still add only the REQ_FUA flag which is what happens when both client and
server is running the older version.
If the client side is running the newer version, just like before a
RNBD_F_FUA is added, but now a RNBD_F_PREFLUSH is also added to the
rnbd_opf. In case the server is running the older version the
RNBD_F_PREFLUSH is ignored, and only the RNBD_F_FUA is processed.

Marco CrivellariandJens Axboe d7b1cdc910 drivers/block: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users
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 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 adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request the use of
the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release cycle to allow
callers to transition their calls.

Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

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.

All existing users have been updated accordingly.

QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE has been set by rnbd-cnt since the initial
merge.  There is no good reason for a driver to force exact core
delivery, which is tunable for very specific workloads and not a
driver setting.

Christoph HellwigandJens Axboe bd4a633b6f block: move the nonrot flag to queue_limits
Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can
be set atomically with the queue frozen.

Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require
the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the
sysfs interface.

For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new
rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite
this being a behavior change.  There are some other drivers that
unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior
as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is
probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd).

The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the
existing behavior in dm and md.

Christoph HellwigandJens Axboe 1122c0c1cc block: move cache control settings out of queue->flags
Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that the flags
can be set atomically with the device queue frozen.

Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal
(usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer.  Note that we'll
eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the
previous size.

The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which
means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and
max_discard_sectors user limits.

The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which
simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior
change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache
despite setting num_flush_bios to 0.  The I/O path will handle this
gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios
and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those
targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios
should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.
