Don't mix the namespace and controller values, and validate the
per-controller limit when probing the controller. This avoid spurious
failures for controllers with namespaces that have different namespaces
with different logical block sizes, or report the per-namespace values
only for some namespaces.
It also fixes a missing queue_limits_cancel_update in an error path by
removing that error path.

The remove_work will proceed with permanently disconnecting on the
initial final path failure if the head shows no paths after the delay.
If a new path connects while the remove_work is pending, and if that new
path happens to disconnect before that remove_work executes, the delayed
removal should reset based on the most recent path disconnect time, but
queue_delayed_work() won't do anything if the work is already pending.
Attempt to cancel the delayed work when a new path connects, and use
mod_delayed_work() in case the remove_work remains pending anyway.

If ublk_get_data() fails, -EIOCBQUEUED is returned and the current command
becomes ASYNC. And the only reason is that mapping data can't move on,
because of no enough pages or pending signal, then the current ublk request
has to be requeued.
Once the request need to be requeued, we have to setup `ublk_io` correctly,
including io->cmd and flags, otherwise the request may not be forwarded to
ublk server successfully.

UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY has a very old comment describing the initial
idea for how zero-copy would be implemented. The actual implementation
added in commit 1f6540e2aabb ("ublk: zc register/unregister bvec") uses
io_uring registered buffers rather than shared memory mapping.
Remove the inaccurate remarks about mapping ublk request memory into the
ublk server's address space and requiring 4K block size. Replace them
with a description of the current zero-copy mechanism.

ublk_queue_cmd_list() dispatches the whole batch list by scheduling task
work via the tail request's io_uring_cmd, this way is fine even though
more than one io_ring_ctx are involved for this batch since it is just
one running context.
However, the task work handler ublk_cmd_list_tw_cb() takes `issue_flags`
of tail uring_cmd's io_ring_ctx for completing all commands. This way is
wrong if any uring_cmd is issued from different io_ring_ctx.
Fixes it by always building batch IOs from same io_ring_ctx and io task
because ublk_dispatch_req() does validate task context, and IO needs to
be aborted in case of running from fallback task work context.
For typical per-queue or per-io daemon implementation, this way shouldn't
make difference from performance viewpoint, because single io_ring_ctx is
taken in each daemon for normal use case.

When aoe's rexmit_timer() notices that an aoe target fails to respond to
commands for more than aoe_deadsecs, it calls aoedev_downdev() which
cleans the outstanding aoe and block queues. This can involve sleeping,
such as in blk_mq_freeze_queue(), which should not occur in irq context.
This patch defers that aoedev_downdev() call to the aoe device's
workqueue.

An aoe device's rq_list contains accepted block requests that are
waiting to be transmitted to the aoe target. This queue was added as
part of the conversion to blk_mq. However, the queue was not cleaned out
when an aoe device is downed which caused blk_mq_freeze_queue() to sleep
indefinitely waiting for those requests to complete, causing a hang. This
fix cleans out the queue before calling blk_mq_freeze_queue().

Currently NVMe uring_cmd completions will complete locally, if they are
polled. This is done because those completions are always invoked from
task context. And while that is true, there's no guarantee that it's
invoked under the right ring context, or even task. If someone does
NVMe passthrough via multiple threads and with a limited number of
poll queues, then ringA may find completions from ringB. For that case,
completing the request may not be sound.
Always just punt the passthrough completions via task_work, which will
redirect the completion, if needed.

Previously, the block layer stored the requests in the plug list in
LIFO order. For this reason, blk_attempt_plug_merge() would check
just the head entry for a back merge attempt, and abort after that
unless requests for multiple queues existed in the plug list. If more
than one request is present in the plug list, this makes the one-shot
back merging less useful than before, as it'll always fail to find a
quick merge candidate.
Use the tail entry for the one-shot merge attempt, which is the last
added request in the list. If that fails, abort immediately unless
there are multiple queues available. If multiple queues are available,
then scan the list. Ideally the latter scan would be a backwards scan
of the list, but as it currently stands, the plug list is singly linked
and hence this isn't easily feasible.

Commit 104d0e2f6222 ("nvme-fabrics: reset admin connection for secure
concatenation") modified nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() to call
nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() twice. The first call prepares for
DH-CHAP negotitation, and the second call is required for secure
concatenation. However, this change triggered BUG KASAN slab-use-after-
free in blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter(). This BUG can be recreated by
repeating the blktests test case nvme/063 a few times [1].
When the BUG happens, nvme_tcp_create_ctrl() fails in the call chain
below:
nvme_tcp_create_ctrl()
nvme_tcp_alloc_ctrl() new=true ... Alloc nvme_tcp_ctrl and admin_tag_set
nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() new=true
nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() new=true ... Succeed
nvme_alloc_admin_tag_set() ... Alloc the tag set for admin_tag_set
nvme_stop_keep_alive()
nvme_tcp_teardown_admin_queue() remove=false
nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() new=false
nvme_tcp_alloc_admin_queue() ... Fail, but do not call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set()
nvme_uninit_ctrl()
nvme_put_ctrl() ... Free up the nvme_tcp_ctrl and admin_tag_set
The first call of nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() succeeds with
new=true argument. The second call fails with new=false argument. This
second call does not call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() on failure, due to
the new=false argument. Then the admin tag set is not removed. However,
nvme_tcp_create_ctrl() assumes that nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() would call
nvme_remove_admin_tag_set(). Then it frees up struct nvme_tcp_ctrl which
has admin_tag_set field. Later on, the timeout handler accesses the
admin_tag_set field and causes the BUG KASAN slab-use-after-free.
To not leave the admin tag set, call nvme_remove_admin_tag_set() when
the second nvme_tcp_configure_admin_queue() call fails. Do not return
from nvme_tcp_setup_ctrl() on failure. Instead, jump to "destroy_admin"
go-to label to call nvme_tcp_teardown_admin_queue() which calls
nvme_remove_admin_tag_set().

Some failure modes are handled poorly by kublk. For example, if ublk_drv
is built as a module but not currently loaded into the kernel, ./kublk
add ... just hangs forever. This happens because in this case (and a few
others), the worker process does not notify its parent (via a write to
the shared eventfd) that it has tried and failed to initialize, so the
parent hangs forever. Fix this by ensuring that we always notify the
parent process of any initialization failure, and have the parent print

- runs some I/O load from a single CPU
- verifies that all the ublk server threads handle some I/O
Before this changeset, this test fails, since I/O issued from one CPU is
always handled by the one ublk server thread. After this changeset, the
test passes.
In the future, the last check above may be strengthened to "verify that
all ublk server threads handle the same amount of I/O." However, this
requires some adjustments/bugfixes to tag allocation, so this work is
postponed to a followup.

Add support in kublk for decoupled ublk_queues and ublk server threads.
kublk now has two modes of operation:
- (preexisting mode) threads and queues are paired 1:1, and each thread
services all the I/Os of one queue
- (new mode) thread and queue counts are independently configurable.
threads service I/Os in a way that balances load across threads even
if load is not balanced over queues.
The default is the preexisting mode. The new mode is activated by
passing the --per_io_tasks flag.

Currently, each ublk server I/O handler thread initializes its own
queue. However, as we move towards decoupled ublk_queues and ublk server
threads, this model does not make sense anymore, as there will no longer
be a concept of a thread having "its own" queue. So lift queue
initialization out of the per-thread ublk_io_handler_fn and into a loop
in ublk_start_daemon (which runs once for each device).
There is a part of ublk_queue_init (ring initialization) which does
actually need to happen on the thread that will use the ring; that is
separated into a separate ublk_thread_init which is still called by each
I/O handler thread.

We currently have a helper ublk_queue_alloc_sqes which the ublk targets
use to allocate SQEs for their own operations. However, as we move
towards decoupled ublk_queues and ublk server threads, this helper does
not make sense anymore. SQEs are allocated from rings, and we will have
one ring per thread to avoid locking. Change the SQE allocation helper
to ublk_io_alloc_sqes. Currently this still allocates SQEs from the io's
queue's ring, but when we fully decouple threads and queues, it will
allocate from the io's thread's ring instead.

Currently, when we process CQEs, we know which ublk_queue we are working
on because we know which ring we are working on, and ublk_queues and
rings are in 1:1 correspondence. However, as we decouple ublk_queues
from ublk server threads, ublk_queues and rings will no longer be in 1:1
correspondence - each ublk server thread will have a ring, and each
thread may issue commands against more than one ublk_queue. So in order
to know which ublk_queue a CQE refers to, plumb that information in the
associated SQE's user_data.

Currently, ublk_drv associates to each hardware queue (hctx) a unique
task (called the queue's ubq_daemon) which is allowed to issue
COMMIT_AND_FETCH commands against the hctx. If any other task attempts
to do so, the command fails immediately with EINVAL. When considered
together with the block layer architecture, the result is that for each
CPU C on the system, there is a unique ublk server thread which is
allowed to handle I/O submitted on CPU C. This can lead to suboptimal
performance under imbalanced load generation. For an extreme example,
suppose all the load is generated on CPUs mapping to a single ublk
server thread. Then that thread may be fully utilized and become the
bottleneck in the system, while other ublk server threads are totally
idle.
This issue can also be addressed directly in the ublk server without
kernel support by having threads dequeue I/Os and pass them around to
ensure even load. But this solution requires inter-thread communication
at least twice for each I/O (submission and completion), which is
generally a bad pattern for performance. The problem gets even worse
with zero copy, as more inter-thread communication would be required to
have the buffer register/unregister calls to come from the correct
thread.
Therefore, address this issue in ublk_drv by allowing each I/O to have
its own daemon task. Two I/Os in the same queue are now allowed to be
serviced by different daemon tasks - this was not possible before.
Imbalanced load can then be balanced across all ublk server threads by
having the ublk server threads issue FETCH_REQs in a round-robin manner.
As a small toy example, consider a system with a single ublk device
having 2 queues, each of depth 4. A ublk server having 4 threads could
issue its FETCH_REQs against this device as follows (where each entry is
the qid,tag pair that the FETCH_REQ targets):
ublk server thread: T0 T1 T2 T3
0,0 0,1 0,2 0,3
1,3 1,0 1,1 1,2
This setup allows for load that is concentrated on one hctx/ublk_queue
to be spread out across all ublk server threads, alleviating the issue
described above.
Add the new UBLK_F_PER_IO_DAEMON feature to ublk_drv, which ublk servers
can use to essentially test for the presence of this change and tailor
their behavior accordingly.

bitmap_startwrite() always return 0, and the caller doesn't check return
value as well, hence change the method to void.
Also rename startwrite/endwrite to start_write/end_write, which is more in

The comments said 'vaule in kB', while the value actually means the
number of write_behind IOs. And since md-bitmap will automatically
adjust the value to max COUNTER_MAX / 2, there is no need to fail
early.
Also move some macros that is only used md-bitmap.c.

file_start_write() and file_end_write() should be added around ->write_iter().
Recently we switch to ->write_iter() from vfs_iter_write(), and the
implied file_start_write() and file_end_write() are lost.
Also we never add them for dio code path, so add them back for covering
both.

Reported an IO hang and unrecoverable error in our testing environment.
After careful research, we found that bch_allocator_thread is stuck,
the call stack is as follows:
[<0>] __switch_to+0xbc/0x108
[<0>] __closure_sync+0x7c/0xbc [bcache]
[<0>] bch_prio_write+0x430/0x448 [bcache]
[<0>] bch_allocator_thread+0xb44/0xb70 [bcache]
[<0>] kthread+0x124/0x130
[<0>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x18
Moreover, the RESERVE_BTREE type bucket slot are empty and journal_full
occurs at the same time.
When the cache disk is first used, the sb.nJournal_buckets defaults to 0.
So, only 8 RESERVE_BTREE type buckets are reserved. If RESERVE_BTREE type
buckets used up or btree_check_reserve() failed when request handle btree
split, the request will be repeatedly retried and wait for alloc thread to
fill in.
After the alloc thread fills the buckets, it will call bch_prio_write().
If journal_full occurs simultaneously at this time, journal_reclaim() and
btree_flush_write() will be called sequentially, journal_write cannot be
completed.
This is a low probability event, we believe that reserve more RESERVE_BTREE
buckets can avoid the worst situation.
