Now that we open block devices as files we need to deal with the
realities that closing is a deferred operation. An operation on the
block device such as e.g., freeze, thaw, or removal that runs
concurrently with umount, tries to acquire a stable reference on the
holder. The holder might already be gone though. Make that reliable by
grabbing a passive reference to the holder during bdev_open() and
releasing it during bdev_release().

Add two new helpers to allow opening block devices as files.
This is not the final infrastructure. This still opens the block device
before opening a struct a file. Until we have removed all references to
struct bdev_handle we can't switch the order:
* Introduce blk_to_file_flags() to translate from block specific to
flags usable to pen a new file.
* Introduce bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}().
* Introduce temporary sb_bdev_handle() helper to retrieve a struct
bdev_handle from a block device file and update places that directly
reference struct bdev_handle to rely on it.
* Don't count block device openes against the number of open files. A
bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}() file is never installed into any
file descriptor table.
One idea that came to mind was to use kernel_tmpfile_open() which
would require us to pass a path and it would then call do_dentry_open()
going through the regular fops->open::blkdev_open() path. But then we're
back to the problem of routing block specific flags such as
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES through the open path and would have to waste
FMODE_* flags every time we add a new one. With this we can avoid using
a flag bit and we have more leeway in how we open block devices from
bdev_open_by_{dev,path}().

Mark the task as having a cached timestamp when set assign it, so we
can efficiently check if it needs updating post being scheduled back in.
This covers both the actual schedule out case, which would've flushed
the plug, and the preemption case which doesn't touch the plugged
requests (for many reasons, one of them being then we'd need to have
preemption disabled around plug state manipulation).

Querying the current time is the most costly thing we do in the block
layer per IO, and depending on kernel config settings, we may do it
many times per IO.
None of the callers actually need nsec granularity. Take advantage of
that by caching the current time in the plug, with the assumption here
being that any time checking will be temporally close enough that the
slight loss of precision doesn't matter.
If the block plug gets flushed, eg on preempt or schedule out, then
we invalidate the cached clock.
On a basic peak IOPS test case with iostats enabled, this changes
the performance from:
IOPS=108.41M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31
IOPS=108.43M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=108.29M, BW=52.88GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32
IOPS=108.35M, BW=52.91GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=108.42M, BW=52.94GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31
IOPS=108.40M, BW=52.93GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=108.31M, BW=52.89GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
to
IOPS=118.79M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32
IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/31
IOPS=118.80M, BW=58.01GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=118.78M, BW=58.00GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32
IOPS=118.69M, BW=57.95GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=118.62M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31
IOPS=118.63M, BW=57.92GiB/s, IOS/call=31/32
which is more than a 9% improvement in performance. Looking at perf diff,
we can see a huge reduction in time overhead:
10.55% -9.88% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] read_tsc
1.31% -1.22% [kernel.vmlinux] [k] ktime_get
Note that since this relies on blk_plug for the caching, it's only
applicable to the issue side. But this is where most of the time calls
happen anyway. On the completion side, cached time stamping is done with
struct io_comp patch, as long as the driver supports it.
It's also worth noting that the above testing doesn't enable any of the
higher cost CPU items on the block layer side, like wbt, cgroups,
iocost, etc, which all would add additional time querying and hence
overhead. IOW, results would likely look even better in comparison with
those enabled, as distros would do.

Pull vfs super updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super work for this cycle including the long-awaited
series by Jan to make it possible to prevent writing to mounted block
devices:
- Writing to mounted devices is dangerous and can lead to filesystem
corruption as well as crashes. Furthermore syzbot comes with more
and more involved examples how to corrupt block device under a
mounted filesystem leading to kernel crashes and reports we can do
nothing about. Add tracking of writers to each block device and a
kernel cmdline argument which controls whether other writeable
opens to block devices open with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES flag are
allowed.
Note that this effectively only prevents modification of the
particular block device's page cache by other writers. The actual
device content can still be modified by other means - e.g. by
issuing direct scsi commands, by doing writes through devices lower
in the storage stack (e.g. in case loop devices, DM, or MD are
involved) etc. But blocking direct modifications of the block
device page cache is enough to give filesystems a chance to perform
data validation when loading data from the underlying storage and
thus prevent kernel crashes.
Syzbot can use this cmdline argument option to avoid uninteresting
crashes. Also users whose userspace setup does not need writing to
mounted block devices can set this option for hardening. We expect
that this will be interesting to quite a few workloads.
Btrfs is currently opted out of this because they still haven't
merged patches we require for this to work from three kernel
releases ago.
- Reimplement block device freezing and thawing as holder operations
on the block device.
This allows us to extend block device freezing to all devices
associated with a superblock and not just the main device. It also
allows us to remove get_active_super() and thus another function
that scans the global list of superblocks.
Freezing via additional block devices only works if the filesystem
chooses to use @fs_holder_ops for these additional devices as well.
That currently only includes ext4 and xfs.
Earlier releases switched get_tree_bdev() and mount_bdev() to use
@fs_holder_ops. The remaining nilfs2 open-coded version of
mount_bdev() has been converted to rely on @fs_holder_ops as well.
So block device freezing for the main block device will continue to
work as before.
There should be no regressions in functionality. The only special
case is btrfs where block device freezing for the main block device
never worked because sb->s_bdev isn't set. Block device freezing
for btrfs can be fixed once they can switch to @fs_holder_ops but
that can happen whenever they're ready"

When zones were first added the SCSI and ATA specs, two different
models were supported (in addition to the drive managed one that
is invisible to the host):
- host managed where non-conventional zones there is strict requirement
to write at the write pointer, or else an error is returned
- host aware where a write point is maintained if writes always happen
at it, otherwise it is left in an under-defined state and the
sequential write preferred zones behave like conventional zones
(probably very badly performing ones, though)
Not surprisingly this lukewarm model didn't prove to be very useful and
was finally removed from the ZBC and SBC specs (NVMe never implemented
it). Due to to the easily disappearing write pointer host software
could never rely on the write pointer to actually be useful for say
recovery.
Fortunately only a few HDD prototypes shipped using this model which
never made it to mass production. Drop the support before it is too
late. Note that any such host aware prototype HDD can still be used
with Linux as we'll now treat it as a conventional HDD.

It's clearly been a while since someone looked at this, so I gave it a
quick shot. There are few issues in here:
- Random bundling of members that are mostly read-only and often written
- Random holes that need not be there
This moves the most frequently used bits into cacheline 1 and 2, with
the 2nd one being more write intensive than the first one, which is
basically read-only.
Outside of making this work a bit more efficiently, it also reduces the
size of struct request_queue for my test setup from 864 bytes (spanning
14 cachelines!) to 832 bytes and 13 cachelines.

We have bdev_mark_dead() etc and we're going to move block device
freezing to holder ops in the next patch. Make the naming consistent:
* freeze_bdev() -> bdev_freeze()
* thaw_bdev() -> bdev_thaw()
Also document the return code.

Convert blkdev_open() to use bdev_open_by_dev(). To be able to propagate
handle from blkdev_open() to blkdev_release() we need to stop using
existence of file->private_data to determine exclusive block device
opens. Use bdev_handle->mode for this purpose since file->f_flags
isn't usable for this (O_EXCL is cleared from the flags during open).

Create struct bdev_handle that contains all parameters that need to be
passed to blkdev_put() and provide bdev_open_* functions that return
this structure instead of plain bdev pointer. This will eventually allow
us to pass one more argument to blkdev_put() (renamed to bdev_release())
without too much hassle.

Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull superblock updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the super rework that was ready for this cycle. The
first part changes the order of how we open block devices and allocate
superblocks, contains various cleanups, simplifications, and a new
mechanism to wait on superblock state changes.
This unblocks work to ultimately limit the number of writers to a
block device. Jan has already scheduled follow-up work that will be
ready for v6.7 and allows us to restrict the number of writers to a
given block device. That series builds on this work right here.
The second part contains filesystem freezing updates.
Overview:
The generic superblock changes are rougly organized as follows
(ignoring additional minor cleanups):
(1) Removal of the bd_super member from struct block_device.
This was a very odd back pointer to struct super_block with
unclear rules. For all relevant places we have other means to get
the same information so just get rid of this.
(2) Simplify rules for superblock cleanup.
Roughly, everything that is allocated during fs_context
initialization and that's stored in fs_context->s_fs_info needs
to be cleaned up by the fs_context->free() implementation before
the superblock allocation function has been called successfully.
After sget_fc() returned fs_context->s_fs_info has been
transferred to sb->s_fs_info at which point sb->kill_sb() if
fully responsible for cleanup. Adhering to these rules means that
cleanup of sb->s_fs_info in fill_super() is to be avoided as it's
brittle and inconsistent.
Cleanup shouldn't be duplicated between sb->put_super() as
sb->put_super() is only called if sb->s_root has been set aka
when the filesystem has been successfully born (SB_BORN). That
complexity should be avoided.
This also means that block devices are to be closed in
sb->kill_sb() instead of sb->put_super(). More details in the
lower section.
(3) Make it possible to lookup or create a superblock before opening
block devices
There's a subtle dependency on (2) as some filesystems did rely
on fill_super() to be called in order to correctly clean up
sb->s_fs_info. All these filesystems have been fixed.
(4) Switch most filesystem to follow the same logic as the generic
mount code now does as outlined in (3).
(5) Use the superblock as the holder of the block device. We can now
easily go back from block device to owning superblock.
(6) Export and extend the generic fs_holder_ops and use them as
holder ops everywhere and remove the filesystem specific holder
ops.
(7) Call from the block layer up into the filesystem layer when the
block device is removed, allowing to shut down the filesystem
without risk of deadlocks.
(8) Get rid of get_super().
We can now easily go back from the block device to owning
superblock and can call up from the block layer into the
filesystem layer when the device is removed. So no need to wade
through all registered superblock to find the owning superblock
anymore"

...
BLKFLSBUF is a historic ioctl that is called on a file handle to a
block device and syncs either the file system mounted on that block
device if there is one, or otherwise the just the data on the block
device.
Replace the get_super based syncing with a holder operation to remove
the last usage of get_super, and to also support syncing the file system
if the block device is not the main block device stored in s_dev.

Combine the newly merged bdev_mark_dead helper with the existing
mark_dead holder operation so that all operations that invalidate
a device that is dead or being removed now go through the holder
ops. This allows file systems to explicitly shutdown either ASAP
(for a surprise removal) or after writing back data (for an orderly
removal), and do so not only for the main device.

We currently have two interfaces that take a block_devices and the find
a mounted file systems to flush or invaldidate data on it. Both are a
bit problematic because they only work for the "main" block devices
that is used as s_dev for the super_block, and because they don't call
into the file system at all.
Merge the two into a new bdev_mark_dead helper that does both the
syncing and invalidation and which is properly documented. This is
in preparation of merging the functionality into the ->mark_dead
holder operation so that it will work on additional block devices
used by a file systems and give us a single entry point for invalidation
of dead devices or media.
Note that a single standalone fsync_bdev call for an obscure ioctl
remains for now, but that one will also be deal with in a bit.

Currently the write_cache attribute allows enabling the QUEUE_FLAG_WC
flag on devices that never claimed the capability.
Fix that by adding a QUEUE_FLAG_HW_WC flag that is set by
blk_queue_write_cache and guards re-enabling the cache through sysfs.
Note that any rescan that calls blk_queue_write_cache will still
re-enable the write cache as in the current code.
