2025-09-10blk-mq: convert to serialize updating nr_requests with update_nr_hwq_lockYu Kuai
request_queue->nr_requests can be changed by: a) switch elevator by updating nr_hw_queues b) switch elevator by elevator sysfs attribute c) configue queue sysfs attribute nr_requests Current lock order is: 1) update_nr_hwq_lock, case a,b 2) freeze_queue 3) elevator_lock, case a,b,c And update nr_requests is seriablized by elevator_lock() already, however, in the case c, we'll have to allocate new sched_tags if nr_requests grow, and do this with elevator_lock held and queue freezed has the risk of deadlock. Hence use update_nr_hwq_lock instead, make it possible to allocate memory if tags grow, meanwhile also prevent nr_requests to be changed concurrently.

2025-09-10ublk: consolidate nr_io_ready and nr_queues_readyCaleb Sander Mateos
ublk_mark_io_ready() tracks whether all the ublk_device's I/Os have been fetched by incrementing ublk_queue's nr_io_ready count and incrementing ublk_device's nr_queues_ready count if the whole queue is ready. Simplify the logic by just tracking the total number of fetched I/Os on each ublk_device. When this count reaches nr_hw_queues * queue_depth, the ublk_device is ready to receive I/O.

2025-09-10block: fix ordering of recursive split IOYu Kuai
Currently, split bio will be chained to original bio, and original bio will be resubmitted to the tail of current->bio_list, waiting for split bio to be issued. However, if split bio get split again, the IO order will be messed up. This problem, on the one hand, will cause performance degradation, especially for mdraid with large IO size; on the other hand, will cause write errors for zoned block devices[1]. For example, in raid456 IO will first be split by max_sector from md_submit_bio(), and then later be split again by chunksize for internal handling: For example, assume max_sectors is 1M, and chunksize is 512k 1) issue a 2M IO: bio issuing: 0+2M current->bio_list: NULL 2) md_submit_bio() split by max_sector: bio issuing: 0+1M current->bio_list: 1M+1M 3) chunk_aligned_read() split by chunksize: bio issuing: 0+512k current->bio_list: 1M+1M -> 512k+512k 4) after first bio issued, __submit_bio_noacct() will contuine issuing next bio: bio issuing: 1M+1M current->bio_list: 512k+512k bio issued: 0+512k 5) chunk_aligned_read() split by chunksize: bio issuing: 1M+512k current->bio_list: 512k+512k -> 1536k+512k bio issued: 0+512k 6) no split afterwards, finally the issue order is: 0+512k -> 1M+512k -> 512k+512k -> 1536k+512k This behaviour will cause large IO read on raid456 endup to be small discontinuous IO in underlying disks. Fix this problem by placing split bio to the head of current->bio_list.

2025-09-09block: add size alignment to bio_iov_iter_get_pagesKeith Busch
The block layer tries to align bio vectors to the block device's logical block size. Some cases don't have a block device, or we may need to align to something larger, which we can't derive it from the queue limits. Have the caller specify what they want, or allow any length alignment if nothing was specified. Since the most common use case relies on the block device's limits, a helper function is provided.

2025-09-09drivers/block: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue usersMarco Crivellari
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. Suggested-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Marco Crivellari <marco.crivellari@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2025-09-08blk-mq: Defer freeing flush queue to SRCU callbackMing Lei
The freeing of the flush queue/request in blk_mq_exit_hctx() can race with tag iterators that may still be accessing it. To prevent a potential use-after-free, the deallocation should be deferred until after a grace period. With this way, we can replace the big tags->lock in tags iterator code path with srcu for solving the issue. This patch introduces an SRCU-based deferred freeing mechanism for the flush queue. The changes include: - Adding a `rcu_head` to `struct blk_flush_queue`. - Creating a new callback function, `blk_free_flush_queue_callback`, to handle the actual freeing. - Replacing the direct call to `blk_free_flush_queue()` in `blk_mq_exit_hctx()` with `call_srcu()`, using the `tags_srcu` instance to ensure synchronization with tag iterators.

2025-09-08blk-mq: Defer freeing of tags page_list to SRCU callbackMing Lei
Tag iterators can race with the freeing of the request pages(tags->page_list), potentially leading to use-after-free issues. Defer the freeing of the page list and the tags structure itself until after an SRCU grace period has passed. This ensures that any concurrent tag iterators have completed before the memory is released. With this way, we can replace the big tags->lock in tags iterator code path with srcu for solving the issue. This is achieved by: - Adding a new `srcu_struct tags_srcu` to `blk_mq_tag_set` to protect tag map iteration. - Adding an `rcu_head` to `struct blk_mq_tags` to be used with `call_srcu`. - Moving the page list freeing logic and the `kfree(tags)` call into a new callback function, `blk_mq_free_tags_callback`. - In `blk_mq_free_tags`, invoking `call_srcu` to schedule the new callback for deferred execution. The read-side protection for the tag iterators will be added in a subsequent patch.
