block: avoid cpu_hotplug_lock depedency on freeze_lock

2025-08-21T13:11:11Z

A recent lockdep[1] splat observed while running blktest block/005 reveals a potential deadlock caused by the cpu_hotplug_lock dependency on ->freeze_lock. This dependency was introduced by commit 033b667a823e ("block: blk-rq-qos: guard rq-qos helpers by static key"). That change added a static key to avoid fetching q->rq_qos when neither blk-wbt nor blk-iolatency is configured. The static key dynamically patches kernel text to a NOP when disabled, eliminating overhead of fetching q->rq_qos in the I/O hot path. However, enabling a static key at runtime requires acquiring both cpu_hotplug_lock and jump_label_mutex. When this happens after the queue has already been frozen (i.e., while holding ->freeze_lock), it creates a locking dependency from cpu_hotplug_lock to ->freeze_lock, which leads to a potential deadlock reported by lockdep [1]. To resolve this, replace the static key mechanism with q->queue_flags: QUEUE_FLAG_QOS_ENABLED. This flag is evaluated in the fast path before accessing q->rq_qos. If the flag is set, we proceed to fetch q->rq_qos; otherwise, the access is skipped. Since q->queue_flags is commonly accessed in IO hotpath and resides in the first cacheline of struct request_queue, checking it imposes minimal overhead while eliminating the deadlock risk. This change avoids the lockdep splat without introducing performance regressions.

Pull vfs 'protection info' updates from Christian Brauner: "This adds the new FS_IOC_GETLBMD_CAP ioctl() to query metadata and protection info (PI) capabilities. This ioctl returns information about the files integrity profile. This is useful for userspace applications to understand a files end-to-end data protection support and configure the I/O accordingly. For now this interface is only supported by block devices. However the design and placement of this ioctl in generic FS ioctl space allows us to extend it to work over files as well. This maybe useful when filesystems start supporting PI-aware layouts. A new structure struct logical_block_metadata_cap is introduced, which contains the following fields: - lbmd_flags: bitmask of logical block metadata capability flags - lbmd_interval: the amount of data described by each unit of logical block metadata - lbmd_size: size in bytes of the logical block metadata associated with each interval - lbmd_opaque_size: size in bytes of the opaque block tag associated with each interval - lbmd_opaque_offset: offset in bytes of the opaque block tag within the logical block metadata - lbmd_pi_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI tuple associated with each interval - lbmd_pi_offset: offset in bytes of T10 PI tuple within the logical block metadata - lbmd_pi_guard_tag_type: T10 PI guard tag type - lbmd_pi_app_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI application tag - lbmd_pi_ref_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI reference tag - lbmd_pi_storage_tag_size: size in bytes of the T10 PI storage tag The internal logic to fetch the capability is encapsulated in a helper function blk_get_meta_cap(), which uses the blk_integrity profile associated with the device.

Pull fallocate updates from Christian Brauner: "fallocate() currently supports creating preallocated files efficiently. However, on most filesystems fallocate() will preallocate blocks in an unwriten state even if FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is specified. The extent state must later be converted to a written state when the user writes data into this range, which can trigger numerous metadata changes and journal I/O. This may leads to significant write amplification and performance degradation in synchronous write mode. At the moment, the only method to avoid this is to create an empty file and write zero data into it (for example, using 'dd' with a large block size). However, this method is slow and consumes a considerable amount of disk bandwidth. Now that more and more flash-based storage devices are available it is possible to efficiently write zeros to SSDs using the unmap write zeroes command if the devices do not write physical zeroes to the media. For example, if SCSI SSDs support the UMMAP bit or NVMe SSDs support the DEAC bit[1], the write zeroes command does not write actual data to the device, instead, NVMe converts the zeroed range to a deallocated state, which works fast and consumes almost no disk write bandwidth. This series implements the BLK_FEAT_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP feature and BLK_FLAG_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP_DISABLED flag for SCSI, NVMe and device-mapper drivers, and add the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES and STATX_ATTR_WRITE_ZEROES_UNMAP support for ext4 and raw bdev devices. fallocate() is subsequently extended with the FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES flag. FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES zeroes a specified file range in such a way that subsequent writes to that range do not require further changes to the file mapping metadata. This flag is beneficial for subsequent pure overwriting within this range, as it can save on block allocation and, consequently, significant metadata changes" * tag 'vfs-6.17-rc1.fallocate' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: ext4: add FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES support block: add FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES support block: factor out common part in blkdev_fallocate() fs: introduce FALLOC_FL_WRITE_ZEROES to fallocate dm: clear unmap write zeroes limits when disabling write zeroes scsi: sd: set max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors if device supports SD_ZERO_*_UNMAP nvmet: set WZDS and DRB if device enables unmap write zeroes operation nvme: set max_hw_wzeroes_unmap_sectors if device supports DEAC bit block: introduce max_{hw|user}_wzeroes_unmap_sectors to queue limits

In preparation for fixing device mapper zone write handling, introduce the inline helper function bio_needs_zone_write_plugging() to test if a BIO requires handling through zone write plugging using the function blk_zone_plug_bio(). This function returns true for any write (op_is_write(bio) == true) operation directed at a zoned block device using zone write plugging, that is, a block device with a disk that has a zone write plug hash table. This helper allows simplifying the check on entry to blk_zone_plug_bio() and used in to protect calls to it for blk-mq devices and DM devices.
