<content type='text'>
commit 27ba3e8ff3ab86449e63d38a8d623053591e65fa upstream.

When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is disabled, allow using host-aware ZBC disks as
regular disks. In this case, ensure that command completion is correctly
executed by changing sd_zbc_complete() to return good_bytes instead of 0
and causing a hang during device probe (endless retries).

When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is enabled and a host-aware disk is detected to
have partitions, it will be used as a regular disk. In this case, make sure
to not do anything in sd_zbc_revalidate_zones() as that triggers warnings.

Since all these different cases result in subtle settings of the disk queue
zoned model, introduce the block layer helper function
blk_queue_set_zoned() to generically implement setting up the effective
zoned model according to the disk type, the presence of partitions on the
disk and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED configuration.

<title>block: Introduce REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0512a75b98f847c2e9a4b664013424e603e202f7</id>
<content type='text'>
Define REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND to append-write sectors to a zone of a zoned
block device. This is a no-merge write operation.

A zone append write BIO must:
* Target a zoned block device
* Have a sector position indicating the start sector of the target zone
* The target zone must be a sequential write zone
* The BIO must not cross a zone boundary
* The BIO size must not be split to ensure that a single range of LBAs
  is written with a single command.

Implement these checks in generic_make_request_checks() using the
helper function blk_check_zone_append(). To avoid write append BIO
splitting, introduce the new max_zone_append_sectors queue limit
attribute and ensure that a BIO size is always lower than this limit.
Export this new limit through sysfs and check these limits in bio_full().

Also when a LLDD can't dispatch a request to a specific zone, it
will return BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE indicating this request needs to
be delayed, e.g.  because the zone it will be dispatched to is still
write-locked. If this happens set the request aside in a local list
to continue trying dispatching requests such as READ requests or a
WRITE/ZONE_APPEND requests targetting other zones. This way we can
still keep a high queue depth without starving other requests even if
one request can't be served due to zone write-locking.

Finally, make sure that the bio sector position indicates the actual
write position as indicated by the device on completion.

Don't burden the common block code with with specifics of the libata DMA
draining mechanism.  Instead move most of the code to the scsi midlayer.

That also means the nr_phys_segments adjustments in the blk-mq fast path
can go away entirely, given that SCSI never looks at nr_phys_segments
after mapping the request to a scatterlist.

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper.  Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter.  A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.

<title>block: keep bdi-&gt;io_pages in sync with max_sectors_kb for stacked devices</title>

<content type='text'>
Field bdi-&gt;io_pages added in commit 9491ae4aade6 ("mm: don't cap request
size based on read-ahead setting") removes unneeded split of read requests.

Stacked drivers do not call blk_queue_max_hw_sectors(). Instead they set
limits of their devices by blk_set_stacking_limits() + disk_stack_limits().
Field bio-&gt;io_pages stays zero until user set max_sectors_kb via sysfs.

This patch updates io_pages after merging limits in disk_stack_limits().

Commit c6d6e9b0f6b4 ("dm: do not allow readahead to limit IO size") fixed
the same problem for device-mapper devices, this one fixes MD RAIDs.

<id>urn:sha1:ad6bf88a6c19a39fb3b0045d78ea880325dfcf15</id>
<content type='text'>
Logical block size has type unsigned short. That means that it can be at
most 32768. However, there are architectures that can run with 64k pages
(for example arm64) and on these architectures, it may be possible to
create block devices with 64k block size.

For exmaple (run this on an architecture with 64k pages):

Mount will fail with this error because it tries to read the superblock using 2-sector
access:
  device-mapper: writecache: I/O is not aligned, sector 2, size 1024, block size 65536
  EXT4-fs (dm-0): unable to read superblock

This patch changes the logical block size from unsigned short to unsigned
int to avoid the overflow.

<title>block: Introduce elevator features</title>

<id>urn:sha1:68c43f133a754c7bf5cb1018bb16dc0821cc43a1</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce the definition of elevator features through the
elevator_features flags in the elevator_type structure. Each flag can
represent a feature supported by an elevator. The first feature defined
by this patch is support for zoned block device sequential write
constraint with the flag ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE, which is implemented
by the mq-deadline elevator using zone write locking.

Other possible features are IO priorities, write hints, latency targets
or single-LUN dual-actuator disks (for which the elevator could maintain
one LBA ordered list per actuator).

The required_elevator_features field is also added to the request_queue
structure to allow a device driver to specify elevator feature flags
that an elevator must support for the correct operation of the device
(e.g. device drivers for zoned block devices can have the
ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE flag as a required feature).
The helper function blk_queue_required_elevator_features() is
defined for setting this new field.

With these two new fields in place, the elevator functions
elevator_match() and elevator_find() are modified to allow a user to set
only an elevator with a set of features that satisfies the device
required features. Elevators not matching the device requirements are
not shown in the device sysfs queue/scheduler file to prevent their use.

The "none" elevator can always be selected as before.
