Commit 0a593fbbc2 ("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.

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.

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.

We never checked for errors on add_disk() as this function
returned void. Now that this is fixed, use the shiny new
error handling. The actual cleanup in case of error is
already handled by the caller of null_gendisk_register().

The error handling on a nullb->disk allocation currently jumps to
out_cleanup_disk that calls blk_cleanup_disk with a null pointer causing
a null pointer dereference issue. Fix this by jumping to out_cleanup_tags
instead.

This will enable changing the virtual boundary of null blk devices. For
now, null blk devices didn't have any restriction on the scatter/gather
elements received from the block layer. Add a module parameter and a
configfs option that will control the virtual boundary. This will
enable testing the efficiency of the block layer bounce buffer in case
a suitable application will send discontiguous IO to the given device.
Initial testing with patched FIO showed the following results (64 jobs,
128 iodepth, 1 nullb device):
IO size READ (virt=false) READ (virt=true) Write (virt=false) Write (virt=true)

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:

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.
