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.

Instances are happier that way and it makes more sense anyway -
the only part of the result that is related to partition we are given
is the start sector, and that has been filled in by the caller.
Everything else is a function of the disk. Only one instance
(DASD) is ever looking at anything other than bdev->bd_disk and
that one is trivial to adjust.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
- Two fixes for aoe which fixes issues dating back to when this driver
was converted to blk-mq
- Fix for ublk, checking for valid queue depth and count values before
setting up a device
* tag 'block-6.16-20250619' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux:
ublk: santizize the arguments from userspace when adding a device
aoe: defer rexmit timer downdev work to workqueue
aoe: clean device rq_list in aoedev_downdev()
When aoe's rexmit_timer() notices that an aoe target fails to respond to
commands for more than aoe_deadsecs, it calls aoedev_downdev() which
cleans the outstanding aoe and block queues. This can involve sleeping,
such as in blk_mq_freeze_queue(), which should not occur in irq context.
This patch defers that aoedev_downdev() call to the aoe device's
workqueue.

An aoe device's rq_list contains accepted block requests that are
waiting to be transmitted to the aoe target. This queue was added as
part of the conversion to blk_mq. However, the queue was not cleaned out
when an aoe device is downed which caused blk_mq_freeze_queue() to sleep
indefinitely waiting for those requests to complete, causing a hang. This
fix cleans out the queue before calling blk_mq_freeze_queue().

When block drivers or the core block code perform allocations with a
frozen queue, this could try to recurse into the block device to
reclaim memory and deadlock. Thus all allocations done by a process
that froze a queue need to be done without __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS.
Instead of tying to track all of them down, force a noio scope as
part of freezing the queue.
Note that nvme is a bit of a mess here due to the non-owner freezes,
and they will be addressed separately.

For fixing CVE-2023-6270, f98364e926 ("aoe: fix the potential
use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts") makes tx() calling dev_put()
instead of doing in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). It avoids that the tx() runs
into use-after-free.
Then Nicolai Stange found more places in aoe have potential use-after-free
problem with tx(). e.g. revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(), probe()
and aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). Those functions also use aoenet_xmit() to push
packet to tx queue. So they should also use dev_hold() to increase the
refcnt of skb->dev.
On the other hand, moving dev_put() to tx() causes that the refcnt of
skb->dev be reduced to a negative value, because corresponding
dev_hold() are not called in revalidate(), aoecmd_ata_rw(), resend(),
probe(), and aoecmd_cfg_rsp(). This patch fixed this issue.

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.

This patch is against CVE-2023-6270. The description of cve is:
A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on
`struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing
between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq`
global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or
potential code execution.
In aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), it always calls dev_put(ifp) when skb initial
code is finished. But the net_device ifp will still be used in
later tx()->dev_queue_xmit() in kthread. Which means that the
dev_put(ifp) should NOT be called in the success path of skb
initial code in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). Otherwise tx() may run into
use-after-free because the net_device is freed.
This patch removed the dev_put(ifp) in the success path in
aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), and added dev_put() after skb xmit in tx().

Move set_capacity() outside of the section procected by (&d->lock).
To avoid possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
[1] lock(&bdev->bd_size_lock);
local_irq_disable();
[2] lock(&d->lock);
[3] lock(&bdev->bd_size_lock);
<Interrupt>
[4] lock(&d->lock);
*** DEADLOCK ***
Where [1](&bdev->bd_size_lock) hold by zram_add()->set_capacity().
[2]lock(&d->lock) hold by aoeblk_gdalloc(). And aoeblk_gdalloc()
is trying to acquire [3](&bdev->bd_size_lock) at set_capacity() call.
In this situation an attempt to acquire [4]lock(&d->lock) from
aoecmd_cfg_rsp() will lead to deadlock.
So the simplest solution is breaking lock dependency
[2](&d->lock) -> [3](&bdev->bd_size_lock) by moving set_capacity()
outside.

process context locking primitives to serialize access to the 64-bit
nr_sectors value. Defer the set_capacity to the already existing
workqueue handler, where it can be merged with the update of the
block device size by using set_capacity_and_notify. As an extra

Drivers shouldn't really mess with the readahead size, as that is a VM
concept. Instead set it based on the optimal I/O size by lifting the
algorithm from the md driver when registering the disk. Also set
bdi->io_pages there as well by applying the same scheme based on
max_sectors. To ensure the limits work well for stacking drivers a
new helper is added to update the readahead limits from the block

Two different callers use two different mutexes for updating the
block device size, which obviously doesn't help to actually protect
against concurrent updates from the different callers. In addition
one of the locks, bd_mutex is rather prone to deadlocks with other
parts of the block stack that use it for high level synchronization.
Switch to using a new spinlock protecting just the size updates, as
that is all we need, and make sure everyone does the update through
the proper helper.
This fixes a bug reported with the nvme revalidating disks during a
hot removal operation, which can currently deadlock on bd_mutex.
