ublk_setup_iod() checks first whether the request is a zoned operation
issued to a device without zoned support and returns BLK_STS_IOERR if
so. However, such a request would already hit the default case in the
subsequent switch statement and fail the ublk_queue_is_zoned() check,
which also results in a return of BLK_STS_IOERR. So remove the redundant
early check for unsupported zone ops.

For ublk servers with many ublk queues, accessing the ublk_queue in
ublk_unmap_io() is a frequent cache miss. Pass to __ublk_complete_rq()
whether the ublk server's data buffer needs to be copied to the request.
In the callers __ublk_fail_req() and ublk_ch_uring_cmd_local(), get the
flags from the ublk_device instead, as its flags have just been read.
In ublk_put_req_ref(), pass false since all the features that require
reference counting disable copying of the data buffer upon completion.

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.

ublk_ch_uring_cmd_local() is a thin wrapper around __ublk_ch_uring_cmd()
that copies the ublksrv_io_cmd from user-mapped memory to the stack
using READ_ONCE(). This ublksrv_io_cmd is passed by pointer to
__ublk_ch_uring_cmd() and __ublk_ch_uring_cmd() is a large function
unlikely to be inlined, so __ublk_ch_uring_cmd() will have to load the
ublksrv_io_cmd fields back from the stack. Inline __ublk_ch_uring_cmd()
into ublk_ch_uring_cmd_local() and load the ublksrv_io_cmd fields into
local variables with READ_ONCE(). This allows the compiler to delay
loading the fields until they are needed and choose whether to store
them in registers or on the stack.

Commit ab03a61c66 ("ublk: have a per-io daemon instead of a per-queue
daemon") allowed each ublk I/O to have an independent daemon task.
However, nr_privileged_daemon is only computed based on whether the last
I/O fetched in each ublk queue has an unprivileged daemon task.
Fix this by checking whether every fetched I/O's daemon is privileged.
Change nr_privileged_daemon from a count of queues to a boolean
indicating whether any I/Os have an unprivileged daemon.

ublk_ch_release currently quiesces the device's request_queue while
setting force_abort/fail_io. This avoids data races by preventing
concurrent reads from the I/O path, but is not strictly needed - at this
point, canceling is already set and guaranteed to be observed by any
concurrently executing I/Os, so they will be handled properly even if
the changes to force_abort/fail_io propagate to the I/O path later.
Remove the quiesce/unquiesce calls from ublk_ch_release. This makes the
writes to force_abort/fail_io concurrent with the reads in the I/O path,
so make the accesses atomic.
Before this change, the call to blk_mq_quiesce_queue was responsible for
most (90%) of the runtime of ublk_ch_release. With that call eliminated,
ublk_ch_release runs much faster. Here is a comparison of the total time
spent in calls to ublk_ch_release when a server handling 128 devices
exits, before and after this change:
before: 1.11s
after: 0.09s

selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface.

When a zoned loop device, or zloop device, is removed, KASAN enabled
kernel reports "BUG KASAN use-after-free" in blk_mq_free_tag_set(). The
BUG happens because zloop_ctl_remove() calls put_disk(), which invokes
zloop_free_disk(). The zloop_free_disk() frees the memory allocated for
the zlo pointer. However, after the memory is freed, zloop_ctl_remove()
calls blk_mq_free_tag_set(&zlo->tag_set), which accesses the freed zlo.
Hence the KASAN use-after-free.
zloop_ctl_remove()
put_disk(zlo->disk)
put_device()
kobject_put()
...
zloop_free_disk()
kvfree(zlo)
blk_mq_free_tag_set(&zlo->tag_set)
To avoid the BUG, move the call to blk_mq_free_tag_set(&zlo->tag_set)
from zloop_ctl_remove() into zloop_free_disk(). This ensures that
the tag_set is freed before the call to kvfree(zlo).

Using device_find_child() to locate a probed virtual-device-port node
causes a device refcount imbalance, as device_find_child() internally
calls get_device() to increment the device’s reference count before
returning its pointer. vdc_port_mpgroup_check() directly returns true
upon finding a matching device without releasing the reference via
put_device(). We should call put_device() to decrement refcount.
As comment of device_find_child() says, 'NOTE: you will need to drop
the reference with put_device() after use'.

```
This patch fixes the issue by using the AIO-specific helpers
`kiocb_start_write()` and `kiocb_end_write()`. These functions are
designed to be used with a `kiocb` and manage write sequencing
correctly for asynchronous I/O without introducing the problematic
lock dependency.
The `kiocb` is already part of the `loop_cmd` struct, so this change
also simplifies the completion function `lo_rw_aio_do_completion()` by
using the `iocb` from the `cmd` struct directly, instead of retrieving
the loop device from the request queue.
