nullblk: Fix cleanup order in null_add_dev() error path

In null_add_dev(), if an error happen after initializing the resources
for a zoned null block device, we must free these resources before
exiting the function. To ensure this, move the out_cleanup_zone label
after out_cleanup_disk as we jump to this latter label if an error
happens after calling null_init_zoned_dev().

null_blk: Delete nullb.{queue_depth, nr_queues}

Since commit 8b631f9cf0b8 ("null_blk: remove the bio based I/O path"),
struct nullb members queue_depth and nr_queues are only ever written, so
delete them.

With that, null_exit_hctx() can also be deleted.

null_blk: remove the bio based I/O path

The bio based I/O path complicates null_blk and also make various
data structures, including the per-command one way bigger than
required for the main request based interface. As the bio-based
path is mostly used by stacking drivers and simple memory based
drivers, and brd is a good example driver for the latter there is
no need to have a bio based path in null_blk. Remove the path
to simplify the driver and make future block layer API changes
simpler by not having to deal with the complex two API setup in
null_blk.

Note that the queue_mode field in struct nullb_device is kept as
that is simpler than having two different places to check the
value and fully open coding the debugfs helpers as the existing
ones won't work without a named struct member.

null_blk has some rather odd capping of the max_hw_sectors value to
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which doesn't make sense - max_hw_sector is the
hardware limit, and BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS despite the confusing name is the
default cap for the max_sectors field used for normal file system I/O.

Remove all the capping, and simply leave it to the block layer or
user to take up or not all of that for file system I/O.

block/null_blk: Fix double blk_mq_start_request() warning

When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NULL_BLK_FAULT_INJECTION is enabled, null_queue_rq()
would return BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE for the request,
which has been marked as MQ_RQ_IN_FLIGHT by blk_mq_start_request().

Then null_queue_rqs() put these requests in the rqlist, return back to
the block layer core, which would try to queue them individually again,
so the warning in blk_mq_start_request() triggered.

Fix it by splitting the null_queue_rq() into two parts: the first is the
preparation of request, the second is the handling of request. We put
the blk_mq_start_request() after the preparation part, which may fail
and return back to the block layer core.

The throttling also belongs to the preparation part, so move it before
blk_mq_start_request(). And change the return type of null_handle_cmd()
to void, since it always return BLK_STS_OK now.

# e1f2760b 18-Sep-2023 Justin Stitt <justinstitt@google.com>

null_blk: replace strncpy with strscpy

`strncpy` is deprecated for use on NUL-terminated destination strings [1].

We should favor a more robust and less ambiguous interface.

We expect that both `nullb->disk_name` and `disk->disk_name` be
NUL-terminated:
| snprintf(nullb->disk_name, sizeof(nullb->disk_name),
| "%s", config_item_name(&dev->group.cg_item));
...
| pr_info("disk %s created\n", nullb->disk_name);

It seems like NUL-padding may be required due to __assign_disk_name()
utilizing a memcpy as opposed to a `str*cpy` api.
| static inline void __assign_disk_name(char *name, struct gendisk *disk)
| {
| if (disk)
| memcpy(name, disk->disk_name, DISK_NAME_LEN);
| else
| memset(name, 0, DISK_NAME_LEN);
| }

Then we go and print it with `__print_disk_name` which wraps `nullb_trace_disk_name()`.
| #define __print_disk_name(name) nullb_trace_disk_name(p, name)

This function obviously expects a NUL-terminated string.
| const char *nullb_trace_disk_name(struct trace_seq *p, char *name)
| {
| const char *ret = trace_seq_buffer_ptr(p);
|
| if (name && *name)
| trace_seq_printf(p, "disk=%s, ", name);
| trace_seq_putc(p, 0);
|
| return ret;
| }

>From the above, we need both 1) a NUL-terminated string and 2) a
NUL-padded string. So, let's use strscpy_pad() as per Kees' suggestion
from v1.

block/null_blk: add queue_rqs() support

Add batched mq_ops.queue_rqs() support in null_blk for testing. The
implementation is much easy since null_blk doesn't have commit_rqs().

We simply handle each request one by one, if errors are encountered,
leave them in the passed in list and return back.

There is about 3.6% improvement in IOPS of fio/t/io_uring on null_blk
with hw_queue_depth=256 on my test VM, from 1.09M to 1.13M.

null_blk: fix poll request timeout handling

When doing io_uring benchmark on /dev/nullb0, it's easy to crash the
kernel if poll requests timeout triggered, as reported by David. [1]

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008
Workqueue: kblockd blk_mq_timeout_work
RIP: 0010:null_timeout_rq+0x4e/0x91

blk_mq_timeout_work+0x95/0x127
process_one_work+0x185/0x263
worker_thread+0x1b5/0x227

This is indeed a race problem between null_timeout_rq() and null_poll().

null_poll() null_timeout_rq()
spin_lock(&nq->poll_lock)
list_splice_init(&nq->poll_list, &list)
spin_unlock(&nq->poll_lock)

while (!list_empty(&list))
req = list_first_entry()
list_del_init()
...
blk_mq_add_to_batch()
// req->rq_next = NULL
spin_lock(&nq->poll_lock)

// rq->queuelist->next == NULL
list_del_init(&rq->queuelist)

spin_unlock(&nq->poll_lock)

Fix these problems by setting requests state to MQ_RQ_COMPLETE under
nq->poll_lock protection, in which null_timeout_rq() can safely detect
this race and early return.

Note this patch just fix the kernel panic when request timeout happen.

block: null_blk: make fault-injection dynamically configurable per device

The null_blk driver has multiple driver-specific fault injection
mechanisms. Each fault injection configuration can only be specified by a
module parameter and cannot be reconfigured without reloading the driver.
Also, each configuration is common to all devices and is initialized every
time a new device is added.

This change adds the following subdirectories for each null_blk device.

/sys/kernel/config/nullb/<disk>/timeout_inject
/sys/kernel/config/nullb/<disk>/requeue_inject
/sys/kernel/config/nullb/<disk>/init_hctx_fault_inject

Each fault injection attribute can be dynamically set per device by a
corresponding file in these directories.

block: null_blk: Fix handling of fake timeout request

When injecting a fake timeout into the null_blk driver using
fail_io_timeout, the request timeout handler does not execute
blk_mq_complete_request(), so the complete callback is never executed
for a timedout request.

The null_blk driver also has a driver-specific fake timeout mechanism
which does not have this problem. Fix the problem with fail_io_timeout
by using the same meachanism as null_blk internal timeout feature, using
the fake_timeout field of null_blk commands.

null_blk: support read-only and offline zone conditions

In zoned mode, zones with write pointers can have conditions "read-only"
or "offline". In read-only condition, zones can not be written. In
offline condition, the zones can be neither written nor read. These
conditions are intended for zones with media failures, then it is
difficult to set those conditions to zones on real devices.

To test handling of zones in the conditions, add a feature to null_blk
to set up zones in read-only or offline condition. Add new configuration
attributes "zone_readonly" and "zone_offline". Write a sector to the
attribute files to specify the target zone to set the zone conditions.
For example, following command lines do it:

echo 0 > nullb1/zone_readonly
echo 524288 > nullb1/zone_offline

When the specified zones are already in read-only or offline condition,
normal empty condition is restored to the zones. These condition changes
can be done only after the null_blk device get powered, since status
area of each zone is not yet allocated before power-on.

Also improve zone condition checks to inhibit all commands for zones in
offline conditions. In same manner, inhibit write and zone management
commands for zones in read-only condition.

block: null_blk: Fix null_zone_write()

The bio and rq fields of struct nullb_cmd are now overlapping in a

NULL_Q_BIO queue mode. null_zone_write() use such broken test to set the
sector position of a zone append write in the command bio or request.
When the null_blk device uses the NULL_Q_MQ queue mode,
null_zone_write() wrongly end up setting the bio sector position,
resulting in the command request to be broken and random crashes
following.

Fix this by testing the device queue mode directly.

# 49c3b926 19-Apr-2022 Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@opensource.wdc.com>

block: null_blk: Improve device creation with configfs

Currently, the directory name used to create a nullb device through
sysfs is not used as the device name, potentially causing headaches for
users if devices are already created through the modprobe operation
withe the nr_device module parameter not set to 0. E.g. a user can do
"mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0" to create a nullb device even
though /dev/nullb0 was already created by modprobe. In this case, the
configfs nullb device will be named nullb1, causing confusion for the
user.

Simplify this by using the configfs directory name as the nullb device
name, always, unless another nullb device is already using the same
name. E.g. if modprobe created nullb0, then:

$ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0': File
exists

will be reported to the user.

To implement this, the function null_find_dev_by_name() is added to
check for the existence of a nullb device with the name used for a new
configfs device directory. nullb_group_make_item() uses this new
function to check if the directory name can be used as the disk name.
Finally, null_add_dev() is modified to use the device config item name
as the disk name for a new nullb device created using configfs.
The naming of devices created though modprobe remains unchanged.

Of note is that it is possible for a user to create through configfs a
nullb device with the same name as an existing device. E.g.

$ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/null

will successfully create the nullb device named "null" but this block
device will however not appear under /dev/ since /dev/null already
exists.

Follow the pattern that we have in bio_alloc() to set the structure
members in the structure allocation function in alloc_cmd() and pass
bio to initialize newly allocated cmd->bio member.

Follow the pattern in copy_to_nullb() to use result of one function call
(null_cache_active()) to be used as a parameter to another function call
(null_insert_page()), use result of alloc_cmd() as a first parameter to

null_blk: cast command status to integer

kernel test robot reports that sparse now triggers a warning on null_blk:

because blk_mq_add_to_batch() takes an integer instead of a blk_status_t.
Just cast this to an integer to silence it, null_blk is the odd one out
here since the command status is the "right" type. If we change the
function type, then we'll have do that for other callers too (existing and
future ones).

null_blk: Fix handling of submit_queues and poll_queues attributes

Commit 0a593fbbc245 ("null_blk: poll queue support") introduced the poll
queue feature to null_blk. After this change, null_blk device has both
submit queues and poll queues, and null_map_queues() callback maps the
both queues for corresponding hardware contexts. The commit also added
the device configuration attribute 'poll_queues' in same manner as the
existing attribute 'submit_queues'. These attributes allow to modify the
numbers of queues. However, when the new values are stored to these
attributes, the values are just handled only for the corresponding
queue. When number of submit_queue is updated, number of poll_queue is
not counted, or vice versa. This caused inconsistent number of queues
and queue mapping and resulted in null-ptr-dereference. This failure was
observed in blktests block/029 and block/030.

To avoid the inconsistency, fix the attribute updates to care both
submit_queues and poll_queues. Introduce the helper function
nullb_update_nr_hw_queues() to handle stores to the both two attributes.
Add poll_queues field to the struct nullb_device to track the number in
same manner as submit_queues. Add two more fields prev_submit_queues and
prev_poll_queues to keep the previous values before change. In case the
block layer failed to update the nr_hw_queues, refer the previous values
in null_map_queues() to map queues in same manner as before change.

Also add poll_queues value checks in nullb_update_nr_hw_queues() and
null_validate_conf(). They ensure the poll_queues value of each device
is within the range from 1 to module parameter value of poll_queues.

null_blk: poll queue support

There's currently no way to experiment with polled IO with null_blk,
which seems like an oversight. This patch adds support for polled IO.
We keep a list of issued IOs on submit, and then process that list
when mq_ops->poll() is invoked.

A new parameter is added, poll_queues. It defaults to 1 like the
submit queues, meaning we'll have 1 poll queue available.

block: switch polling to be bio based

Replace the blk_poll interface that requires the caller to keep a queue
and cookie from the submissions with polling based on the bio.

Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages:

- the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c
- the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie
separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues
- keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially
support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers
- a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can
be removed entirely.

null_blk: fix command timeout completion handling

Memory backed or zoned null block devices may generate actual request
timeout errors due to the submission path being blocked on memory
allocation or zone locking. Unlike fake timeouts or injected timeouts,
the request submission path will call blk_mq_complete_request() or
blk_mq_end_request() for these real timeout errors, causing a double
completion and use after free situation as the block layer timeout
handler executes blk_mq_rq_timed_out() and __blk_mq_free_request() in
blk_mq_check_expired(). This problem often triggers a NULL pointer
dereference such as:

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000050

This problem very often triggers when running the full btrfs xfstests
on a memory-backed zoned null block device in a VM with limited amount
of memory.

Avoid this by executing blk_mq_complete_request() in null_timeout_rq()
only for commands that are marked for a fake timeout completion using
the fake_timeout boolean in struct null_cmd. For timeout errors injected
through debugfs, the timeout handler will execute
blk_mq_complete_request()i as before. This is safe as the submission
path does not execute complete requests in this case.

In null_timeout_rq(), also make sure to set the command error field to
BLK_STS_TIMEOUT and to propagate this error through to the request
completion.
