All remaining callers of bdget() outside of fs/block_dev.c want to get a
reference to the struct block_device for a given struct hd_struct. Add
a helper just for that and then mark bdget static.

In order to improve consistency and usability in cgroup stat accounting,
we would like to support the root cgroup's io.stat.
Since the root cgroup has processes doing io even if the system has no
explicitly created cgroups, we need to be careful to avoid overhead in
that case. For that reason, the rstat algorithms don't handle the root
cgroup, so just turning the file on wouldn't give correct statistics.
To get around this, we simulate flushing the iostat struct by filling it
out directly from global disk stats. The result is a root cgroup io.stat
file consistent with both /proc/diskstats and io.stat.
Note that in order to collect the disk stats, we needed to iterate over
devices. To facilitate that, we had to change the linkage of a disk_type
to external so that it can be used from blk-cgroup.c to iterate over
disks.

Commit dc9edc44de6c ("block: Fix a blk_exit_rl() regression") merged on
v4.12 moved the work behind blk_release_queue() into a workqueue after a
splat floated around which indicated some work on blk_release_queue()
could sleep in blk_exit_rl(). This splat would be possible when a driver
called blk_put_queue() or blk_cleanup_queue() (which calls blk_put_queue()
as its final call) from an atomic context.
blk_put_queue() decrements the refcount for the request_queue kobject, and
upon reaching 0 blk_release_queue() is called. Although blk_exit_rl() is
now removed through commit db6d99523560 ("block: remove request_list code")
on v5.0, we reserve the right to be able to sleep within
blk_release_queue() context.
The last reference for the request_queue must not be called from atomic
context. *When* the last reference to the request_queue reaches 0 varies,
and so let's take the opportunity to document when that is expected to
happen and also document the context of the related calls as best as
possible so we can avoid future issues, and with the hopes that the
synchronous request_queue removal sticks.
We revert back to synchronous request_queue removal because asynchronous
removal creates a regression with expected userspace interaction with
several drivers. An example is when removing the loopback driver, one
uses ioctls from userspace to do so, but upon return and if successful,
one expects the device to be removed. Likewise if one races to add another
device the new one may not be added as it is still being removed. This was
expected behavior before and it now fails as the device is still present
and busy still. Moving to asynchronous request_queue removal could have
broken many scripts which relied on the removal to have been completed if
there was no error. Document this expectation as well so that this
doesn't regress userspace again.
Using asynchronous request_queue removal however has helped us find
other bugs. In the future we can test what could break with this
arrangement by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE.
While at it, update the docs with the context expectations for the
request_queue / gendisk refcount decrement, and make these
expectations explicit by using might_sleep().

delete_partition() clears the cached last_lookup partition. However the
.last_lookup cache may be overwritten by one IO path after it is cleared
from delete_partition(). Then another IO path may use the cached deleting
partition after hd_struct_free() is called, then use-after-free is triggered
on the cached partition.
Fixes the issue by the following approach:
1) always get the partition's refcount via hd_struct_try_get() before
setting .last_lookup
2) move clearing .last_lookup from delete_partition() to hd_struct_free()
which is the release handle of the partition's percpu-refcount, so that no
IO path can cache deleteing partition via .last_lookup.
It is one candidate approach of Yufen's patch[1] which adds overhead
in fast path by indirect lookup which may introduce one extra cacheline
in IO path. Also this patch relies on percpu-refcount's protection, and
it is easier to understand and verify.

Column "time_in_queue" in diskstats is supposed to show total waiting time
of all requests. I.e. value should be equal to the sum of times from other

Commit b72053072c0b ("block: allow partitions on host aware zone
devices") introduced the helper function disk_has_partitions() to check
if a given disk has valid partitions. However, since this function result
directly depends on the disk partition table length rather than the
actual existence of valid partitions in the table, it returns true even
after all partitions are removed from the disk. For host aware zoned
block devices, this results in zone management support to be kept
disabled even after removing all partitions.
Fix this by changing disk_has_partitions() to walk through the partition
table entries and return true if and only if a valid non-zero size
partition is found.

When elevator_init_mq() is called from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(),
the only information known about the device is the number of hardware
queues as the block device scan by the device driver is not completed
yet for most drivers. The device type and elevator required features
are not set yet, preventing to correctly select the default elevator
most suitable for the device.
This currently affects all multi-queue zoned block devices which default
to the "none" elevator instead of the required "mq-deadline" elevator.
These drives currently include host-managed SMR disks connected to a
smartpqi HBA and null_blk block devices with zoned mode enabled.
Upcoming NVMe Zoned Namespace devices will also be affected.
Fix this by adding the boolean elevator_init argument to
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() to control the execution of
elevator_init_mq(). Two cases exist:
1) elevator_init = false is used for calls to
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() within blk_mq_init_queue(). In this
case, a call to elevator_init_mq() is added to __device_add_disk(),
resulting in the delayed initialization of the queue elevator
after the device driver finished probing the device information. This
effectively allows elevator_init_mq() access to more information
about the device.
2) elevator_init = true preserves the current behavior of initializing
the elevator directly from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(). This case
is used for the special request based DM devices where the device
gendisk is created before the queue initialization and device
information (e.g. queue limits) is already known when the queue
initialization is executed.
Additionally, to make sure that the elevator initialization is never
done while requests are in-flight (there should be none when the device
driver calls device_add_disk()), freeze and quiesce the device request
queue before calling blk_mq_init_sched() in elevator_init_mq().

commit 2da78092dda "block: Fix dev_t minor allocation lifetime"
specifically moved blk_free_devt(dev->devt) call to part_release()
to avoid reallocating device number before the device is fully
shutdown.
However, it can cause use-after-free on gendisk in get_gendisk().
We use md device as example to show the race scenes:
Process1 Worker Process2
md_free
blkdev_open
del_gendisk
add delete_partition_work_fn() to wq
__blkdev_get
get_gendisk
put_disk
disk_release
kfree(disk)
find part from ext_devt_idr
get_disk_and_module(disk)
cause use after free
delete_partition_work_fn
put_device(part)
part_release
remove part from ext_devt_idr
Before <devt, hd_struct pointer> is removed from ext_devt_idr by
delete_partition_work_fn(), we can find the devt and then access
gendisk by hd_struct pointer. But, if we access the gendisk after
it have been freed, it can cause in use-after-freeon gendisk in
get_gendisk().
We fix this by adding a new helper blk_invalidate_devt() in
delete_partition() and del_gendisk(). It replaces hd_struct
pointer in idr with value 'NULL', and deletes the entry from
idr in part_release() as we do now.
Thanks to Jan Kara for providing the solution and more clear comments
for the code.

Drivers now report to the block layer if they support media change
events. If this is not the case, there's no need to allocate the event
structure, and all event handling code can effectively be skipped. This
simplifies code flow in particular for non-removable sd devices.
This effectively reverts commit 75e3f3ee3c64 ("block: always allocate
genhd->ev if check_events is implemented").
The sysfs files for the events are kept in place even if no events are
supported, as user space may rely on them being present. The only
difference is that an error code is now returned if the user tries to
set poll_msecs.

Currently, an empty disk->events field tells the block layer not to
forward media change events to user space. This was done in commit
7c88a168da80 ("block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland")
in order to avoid events from "fringe" drivers to be forwarded to user
space. By doing so, the block layer lost the information which events
were supported by a particular block device, and most importantly,
whether or not a given device supports media change events at all.
Prepare for not interpreting the "events" field this way in the future
any more. This is done by adding an additional field "event_flags" to
struct gendisk, and two flag bits that can be set to have the device
treated like one that had the "events" field set to a non-zero value
before. This applies only to the sd and sr drivers, which are changed to
set the new flags.
The new flags are DISK_EVENT_FLAG_POLL to enforce polling of the device
for synchronous events, and DISK_EVENT_FLAG_UEVENT to tell the
blocklayer to generate udev events from kernel events.
In order to add the event_flags field to struct gendisk, the events
field is converted to an "unsigned short"; it doesn't need to hold
values bigger than 2 anyway.
This patch doesn't change behavior.
