blkcg_bio_issue_check is a giant inline function that does three entirely different things. Factor out the blk-cgroup related bio initalization into a new helper, and the open code the sequence in the only caller, relying on the fact that all the actual functionality is stubbed out for non-cgroup builds.

bio_clone_blkg_association is supposed to clone the associatation, but actually ends up doing a search with a tryget. As we know we have a reference on the source cgroup just get an unconditional additional reference to it and call it a day. That also removes the need for a RCU critical section.

bio_uninit is the proper API to clean up a BIO that has been allocated on stack or inside a structure that doesn't come from the BIO allocator. Switch dm to use that instead of bio_disassociate_blkg, which really is an implementation detail. Note that the bio_uninit calls are also moved to the two callers of __send_empty_flush, so that they better pair with the bio_init calls used to initialize them.

Currently blk-mq does not report any event when two requests get merged in the elevator. This then results in difficult to understand sequence of events like: ... 8,0 34 1579 0.608765271 2718 I WS 215023504 + 40 [dbench] 8,0 34 1584 0.609184613 2719 A WS 215023544 + 56 <- (8,4) 2160568 8,0 34 1585 0.609184850 2719 Q WS 215023544 + 56 [dbench] 8,0 34 1586 0.609188524 2719 G WS 215023544 + 56 [dbench] 8,0 3 602 0.609684162 773 D WS 215023504 + 96 [kworker/3:1H] 8,0 34 1591 0.609843593 0 C WS 215023504 + 96 [0] and you can only guess (after quite some headscratching since the above excerpt is intermixed with a lot of other IO) that request 215023544+56 got merged to request 215023504+40.

We were only creating the request_queue debugfs_dir only for make_request block drivers (multiqueue), but never for request-based block drivers. We did this as we were only creating non-blktrace additional debugfs files on that directory for make_request drivers. However, since blktrace *always* creates that directory anyway, we special-case the use of that directory on blktrace. Other than this being an eye-sore, this exposes request-based block drivers to the same debugfs fragile race that used to exist with make_request block drivers where if we start adding files onto that directory we can later run a race with a double removal of dentries on the directory if we don't deal with this carefully on blktrace. Instead, just simplify things by always creating the request_queue debugfs_dir on request_queue registration. Rename the mutex also to reflect the fact that this is used outside of the blktrace context.

We make an assumption that a debugfs directory exists, but since this can fail ensure it exists before allowing blktrace setup to complete. Otherwise we end up stuffing blktrace files on the debugfs root directory. In the worst case scenario this *in theory* can create an eventual panic *iff* in the future a similarly named file is created prior on the debugfs root directory. This theoretical crash can happen due to a recursive removal followed by a specific dentry removal. This doesn't fix any known crash, however I have seen the files go into the main debugfs root directory in cases where the debugfs directory was not created due to other internal bugs with blktrace now fixed. blktrace is also completely useless without this directory, so this ensures to userspace we only setup blktrace if the kernel can stuff files where they are supposed to go into. debugfs directory creations typically aren't checked for, and we have maintainers doing sweep removals of these checks, but since we need this check to ensure proper userspace blktrace functionality we make sure to annotate the justification for the check.

On commit 6ac93117 ("blktrace: use existing disk debugfs directory") merged on v4.12 Omar fixed the original blktrace code for request-based drivers (multiqueue). This however left in place a possible crash, if you happen to abuse blktrace while racing to remove / add a device. We used to use asynchronous removal of the request_queue, and with that the issue was easier to reproduce. Now that we have reverted to synchronous removal of the request_queue, the issue is still possible to reproduce, its however just a bit more difficult. We essentially run two instances of break-blktrace which add/remove a loop device, and setup a blktrace and just never tear the blktrace down. We do this twice in parallel. This is easily reproduced with the script run_0004.sh from break-blktrace [0]. We can end up with two types of panics each reflecting where we race, one a failed blktrace setup: [ 252.426751] debugfs: Directory 'loop0' with parent 'block' already present!

Upon init we always create the same directory which would be needed by blktrace but we only do this for make_request drivers (multiqueue) block drivers. When you race a removal of these devices with a blktrace setup you end up in a situation where the make_request recursive debugfs removal will sweep away the blktrace files and then later blktrace will also try to remove individual dentries which are already NULL. The inverse is also possible and hence the two types of use after frees. We don't create the block debugfs directory on init for these types of block devices: * request-based block driver block devices * every possible partition * scsi-generic And so, this race should in theory only be possible with make_request drivers. We can fix the UAF by simply re-using the debugfs directory for make_request drivers (multiqueue) and only creating the ephemeral directory for the other type of block devices. The new clarifications on relying on the q->blk_trace_mutex *and* also checking for q->blk_trace *prior* to processing a blktrace ensures the debugfs directories are only created if no possible directory name clashes are possible.

Commit dc9edc44 ("block: Fix a blk_exit_rl() regression") merged on v4.12 moved the work behind blk_release_queue() into a workqueue after a splat floated around which indicated some work on blk_release_queue() could sleep in blk_exit_rl(). This splat would be possible when a driver called blk_put_queue() or blk_cleanup_queue() (which calls blk_put_queue() as its final call) from an atomic context. blk_put_queue() decrements the refcount for the request_queue kobject, and upon reaching 0 blk_release_queue() is called. Although blk_exit_rl() is now removed through commit db6d9952 ("block: remove request_list code") on v5.0, we reserve the right to be able to sleep within blk_release_queue() context. The last reference for the request_queue must not be called from atomic context. *When* the last reference to the request_queue reaches 0 varies, and so let's take the opportunity to document when that is expected to happen and also document the context of the related calls as best as possible so we can avoid future issues, and with the hopes that the synchronous request_queue removal sticks. We revert back to synchronous request_queue removal because asynchronous removal creates a regression with expected userspace interaction with several drivers. An example is when removing the loopback driver, one uses ioctls from userspace to do so, but upon return and if successful, one expects the device to be removed. Likewise if one races to add another device the new one may not be added as it is still being removed. This was expected behavior before and it now fails as the device is still present and busy still. Moving to asynchronous request_queue removal could have broken many scripts which relied on the removal to have been completed if there was no error. Document this expectation as well so that this doesn't regress userspace again. Using asynchronous request_queue removal however has helped us find other bugs. In the future we can test what could break with this arrangement by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE. While at it, update the docs with the context expectations for the request_queue / gendisk refcount decrement, and make these expectations explicit by using might_sleep().

Let us clarify the context under which the helpers to increment the refcount for the gendisk and request_queue can be called under. We make this explicit on the places where we may sleep with might_sleep(). We don't address the decrement context yet, as that needs some extra work and fixes, but will be addressed in the next patch.

This is a variant of blk_mq_complete_request_remote that only completes the request if it needs to be bounced to another CPU or a softirq. If the request can be completed locally the function returns false and lets the driver complete it without requring and indirect function call.
