<id>urn:sha1:7335acd51f6b5f1ac5383003eae3639846e31cc6</id>
<content type='text'>
commit e0c60d0102a5ad3475401e1a2faa3d3623eefce4 upstream.

Commit a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk-&gt;part_tbl") modified
the method to check partition existence in host-aware zoned block
devices from disk_has_partitions() helper function call to empty check
of xarray disk-&gt;part_tbl. However, disk-&gt;part_tbl always has single
entry for disk-&gt;part0 and never becomes empty. This resulted in the
host-aware zoned devices always judged to have partitions, and it made
the sysfs queue/zoned attribute to be "none" instead of "host-aware"
regardless of partition existence in the devices.

This also caused DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock-&gt;magic != lock) for
sdkp-&gt;rev_mutex in scsi layer when the kernel detects host-aware zoned
device. Since block layer handled the host-aware zoned devices as non-
zoned devices, scsi layer did not have chance to initialize the mutex
for zone revalidation. Therefore, the warning was triggered.

To fix the issues, call the helper function disk_has_partitions() in
place of disk-&gt;part_tbl empty check. Since the function was removed with
the commit a33df75c6328, reimplement it to walk through entries in the
xarray disk-&gt;part_tbl.

Fixes: a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk-&gt;part_tbl")

<title>include: remove pagemap.h from blkdev.h</title>

My UEK-derived config has 1030 files depending on pagemap.h before this
change.  Afterwards, just 326 files need to be rebuilt when I touch
pagemap.h.  I think blkdev.h is probably included too widely, but
untangling that dependency is harder and this solves my problem.  x86
allmodconfig builds, but there may be implicit include problems on other
architectures.

bio size can grow up to 4GB when muli-page bvec is enabled.
but sometimes it would lead to inefficient behaviors.
in case of large chunk direct I/O, - 32MB chunk read in user space -
all pages for 32MB would be merged to a bio structure if the pages
physical addresses are contiguous. it makes some delay to submit
until merge complete. bio max size should be limited to a proper size.

When 32MB chunk read with direct I/O option is coming from userspace,
kernel behavior is below now in do_direct_IO() loop. it's timeline.

 | bio merge for 32MB. total 8,192 pages are merged.
 | total elapsed time is over 2ms.
 |------------------ ... -----------------------&gt;|
                                                 | 8,192 pages merged a bio.
                                                 | at this time, first bio submit is done.
                                                 | 1 bio is split to 32 read request and issue.
                                                 |---------------&gt;
                                                  |---------------&gt;
                                                   |---------------&gt;
                                                              ......
                                                                   |---------------&gt;
                                                                    |---------------&gt;|
                          total 19ms elapsed to complete 32MB read done from device. |

If bio max size is limited with 1MB, behavior is changed below.

 | bio merge for 1MB. 256 pages are merged for each bio.
 | total 32 bio will be made.
 | total elapsed time is over 2ms. it's same.
 | but, first bio submit timing is fast. about 100us.
 |---&gt;|---&gt;|---&gt;|---&gt; ... --&gt;|---&gt;|---&gt;|---&gt;|---&gt;|
      | 256 pages merged a bio.
      | at this time, first bio submit is done.
      | and 1 read request is issued for 1 bio.
      |---------------&gt;
           |---------------&gt;
                |---------------&gt;
                                      ......
                                                 |---------------&gt;
                                                  |---------------&gt;|
        total 17ms elapsed to complete 32MB read done from device. |

As a result, read request issue timing is faster if bio max size is limited.
Current kernel behavior with multipage bvec, super large bio can be created.
And it lead to delay first I/O request issue.

Get rid of all the PFN arithmetics and just use an enum for the two
remaining options, and use PageHighMem for the actual bounce decision.

Add a fast path to entirely avoid the call for the common case of a queue
not using the legacy bouncing code.

<title>blk-settings: align max_sectors on "logical_block_size" boundary</title>

<id>urn:sha1:97f433c3601a24d3513d06f575a389a2ca4e11e4</id>
<content type='text'>
We get I/O errors when we run md-raid1 on the top of dm-integrity on the
top of ramdisk.
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xff00, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xff00, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xffff, 0x1
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0xffff, 0x1
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8048, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8147, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8246, 0xff
device-mapper: integrity: Bio not aligned on 8 sectors: 0x8345, 0xbb

The ramdisk device has logical_block_size 512 and max_sectors 255. The
dm-integrity device uses logical_block_size 4096 and it doesn't affect the
"max_sectors" value - thus, it inherits 255 from the ramdisk. So, we have
a device with max_sectors not aligned on logical_block_size.

The md-raid device sees that the underlying leg has max_sectors 255 and it
will split the bios on 255-sector boundary, making the bios unaligned on
logical_block_size.

In order to fix the bug, we round down max_sectors to logical_block_size.

Introduce the internal function blk_queue_clear_zone_settings() to
cleanup all limits and resources related to zoned block devices. This
new function is called from blk_queue_set_zoned() when a disk zoned
model is set to BLK_ZONED_NONE. This particular case can happens when a
partition is created on a host-aware scsi disk.
