commit 94a2c3a32b62e868dc1e3d854326745a7f1b8c7a upstream.

We recently got a stack by syzkaller like this:

In softirq context, we call rcu callback function delete_partition_rcu_cb(),
which may allocate memory by kzalloc with GFP_KERNEL flag. If the
allocation cannot be satisfied, it may sleep. However, That is not allowed
in softirq contex.

Although we found this problem on linux 4.4, the latest kernel version
seems to have this problem as well. And it is very similar to the
previous one:
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/9/391

Fix it by using RCU workqueue, which allows sleep.

<title>block: use nanosecond resolution for iostat</title>

Klaus Kusche reported that the I/O busy time in /proc/diskstats was not
updating properly on 4.18. This is because we started using ktime to
track elapsed time, and we convert nanoseconds to jiffies when we update
the partition counter. However, this gets rounded down, so any I/Os that
take less than a jiffy are not accounted for. Previously in this case,
the value of jiffies would sometimes increment while we were doing I/O,
so at least some I/Os were accounted for.

Let's convert the stats to use nanoseconds internally. We still report
milliseconds as before, now more accurately than ever. The value is
still truncated to 32 bits for backwards compatibility.

<content type='text'>
Add tracking of REQ_OP_DISCARD ios to the partition statistics and
append them to the various stat files in /sys as well as
/proc/diskstats.  These are tracked with the same four stats as reads
and writes:

Number of discard ios completed.
Number of discard ios merged
Number of discard sectors completed
Milliseconds spent on discard requests

This is done via adding a new STAT_DISCARD define to genhd.h and then
using it to index that stat field for discard requests.

<title>genhd: Fix BUG in blkdev_open()</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=56c0908c855afbb2bdda17c15d2879949a091ad3'/>
<id>urn:sha1:56c0908c855afbb2bdda17c15d2879949a091ad3</id>
<content type='text'>
When two blkdev_open() calls for a partition race with device removal
and recreation, we can hit BUG_ON(!bd_may_claim(bdev, whole, holder)) in
blkdev_open(). The race can happen as follows:

CPU0				CPU1			CPU2
							del_gendisk()
							  bdev_unhash_inode(part1);

blkdev_open(part1, O_EXCL)	blkdev_open(part1, O_EXCL)
  bdev = bd_acquire()		  bdev = bd_acquire()
  blkdev_get(bdev)
    bd_start_claiming(bdev)
      - finds old inode 'whole'
      bd_prepare_to_claim() -&gt; 0
							  bdev_unhash_inode(whole);
							&lt;device removed&gt;
							&lt;new device under same
							 number created&gt;
				  blkdev_get(bdev);
				    bd_start_claiming(bdev)
				      - finds new inode 'whole'
				      bd_prepare_to_claim()
					- this also succeeds as we have
					  different 'whole' here...
					- bad things happen now as we
					  have two exclusive openers of
					  the same bdev

The problem here is that block device opens can see various intermediate
states while gendisk is shutting down and then being recreated.

We fix the problem by introducing new lookup_sem in gendisk that
synchronizes gendisk deletion with get_gendisk() and furthermore by
making sure that get_gendisk() does not return gendisk that is being (or
has been) deleted. This makes sure that once we ever manage to look up
newly created bdev inode, we are also guaranteed that following
get_gendisk() will either return failure (and we fail open) or it
returns gendisk for the new device and following bdget_disk() will
return new bdev inode (i.e., blkdev_open() follows the path as if it is
completely run after new device is created).

<title>block: allow gendisk's request_queue registration to be deferred</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fa70d2e2c4a0a54ced98260c6a176cc94c876d27</id>
<content type='text'>
Since I can remember DM has forced the block layer to allow the
allocation and initialization of the request_queue to be distinct
operations.  Reason for this is block/genhd.c:add_disk() has requires
that the request_queue (and associated bdi) be tied to the gendisk
before add_disk() is called -- because add_disk() also deals with
exposing the request_queue via blk_register_queue().

DM's dynamic creation of arbitrary device types (and associated
request_queue types) requires the DM device's gendisk be available so
that DM table loads can establish a master/slave relationship with
subordinate devices that are referenced by loaded DM tables -- using
bd_link_disk_holder().  But until these DM tables, and their associated
subordinate devices, are known DM cannot know what type of request_queue
it needs -- nor what its queue_limits should be.

This chicken and egg scenario has created all manner of problems for DM
and, at times, the block layer.

Summary of changes:

- Add device_add_disk_no_queue_reg() and add_disk_no_queue_reg() variant
  that drivers may use to add a disk without also calling
  blk_register_queue().  Driver must call blk_register_queue() once its
  request_queue is fully initialized.

- Return early from blk_unregister_queue() if QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED
  is not set.  It won't be set if driver used add_disk_no_queue_reg()
  but driver encounters an error and must del_gendisk() before calling
  blk_register_queue().

- Export blk_register_queue().

These changes allow DM to use add_disk_no_queue_reg() to anchor its
gendisk as the "master" for master/slave relationships DM must establish
with subordinate devices referenced in DM tables that get loaded.  Once
all "slave" devices for a DM device are known its request_queue can be
properly initialized and then advertised via sysfs -- important
improvement being that no request_queue resource initialization
performed by blk_register_queue() is missed for DM devices anymore.
