git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks Pull kthread updates from Frederic Weisbecker: "The kthread code provides an infrastructure which manages the preferred affinity of unbound kthreads (node or custom cpumask) against housekeeping (CPU isolation) constraints and CPU hotplug events. One crucial missing piece is the handling of cpuset: when an isolated partition is created, deleted, or its CPUs updated, all the unbound kthreads in the top cpuset become indifferently affine to _all_ the non-isolated CPUs, possibly breaking their preferred affinity along the way. Solve this with performing the kthreads affinity update from cpuset to the kthreads consolidated relevant code instead so that preferred affinities are honoured and applied against the updated cpuset isolated partitions. The dispatch of the new isolated cpumasks to timers, workqueues and kthreads is performed by housekeeping, as per the nice Tejun's suggestion. As a welcome side effect, HK_TYPE_DOMAIN then integrates both the set from boot defined domain isolation (through isolcpus=) and cpuset isolated partitions. Housekeeping cpumasks are now modifiable with a specific RCU based synchronization.

2026-02-03block: Protect against concurrent isolated cpuset changeFrederic Weisbecker
The block subsystem prevents running the workqueue to isolated CPUs, including those defined by cpuset isolated partitions. Since HK_TYPE_DOMAIN will soon contain both and be subject to runtime modifications, synchronize against housekeeping using the relevant lock. For full support of cpuset changes, the block subsystem may need to propagate changes to isolated cpumask through the workqueue in the future.

2026-01-22blk-mq: use BLK_POLL_ONESHOT for synchronous poll completionMing Lei
blk_execute_rq() with polling is used in kernel code paths such as NVMe controller connect. The aggressive spinning in blk_hctx_poll() can prevent the completion task from getting a chance to run, causing a lockup. The spinning with cpu_relax() doesn't yield CPU, so need_resched() only becomes true on timer tick. This causes unnecessary spinning while the completion task is already waiting to run. Before commit f22ecf9c14c1, the loop would exit early because task_is_running() was always true. After that commit removed the check, the loop now spins until need_resched(). Fix this by using BLK_POLL_ONESHOT in blk_rq_poll_completion(). This causes blk_hctx_poll() to poll once and return immediately, letting the outer loop's cond_resched() yield CPU so the completion task can run.

2026-01-20mm/block/fs: remove laptop_modeJohannes Weiner
Laptop mode was introduced to save battery, by delaying and consolidating writes and thereby maximize the time rotating hard drives wouldn't have to spin. Luckily, rotating hard drives, with their high spin-up times and power draw, are a thing of the past for battery-powered devices. Reclaim has also since changed to not write single filesystem pages anymore, and regular filesystem writeback is lumpy by design. The juice doesn't appear worth the squeeze anymore. The footprint of the feature is small, but nevertheless it's a complicating factor in mm, block, filesystems. Developers don't think about it, and it likely hasn't been tested with new reclaim and writeback changes in years. Let's sunset it. Keep the sysctl with a deprecation warning around for a few more cycles, but remove all functionality behind it.

2026-01-20block: pass io_comp_batch to rq_end_io_fn callbackMing Lei
Add a third parameter 'const struct io_comp_batch *' to the rq_end_io_fn callback signature. This allows end_io handlers to access the completion batch context when requests are completed via blk_mq_end_request_batch(). The io_comp_batch is passed from blk_mq_end_request_batch(), while NULL is passed from __blk_mq_end_request() and blk_mq_put_rq_ref() which don't have batch context. This infrastructure change enables drivers to detect whether they're being called from a batched completion path (like iopoll) and access additional context stored in the io_comp_batch.

blk_hctx_poll() always checks if the task is running or not, and returns 1 if the task is running. This is a leftover from when polled IO was purely for synchronous IO, and doesn't make sense anymore when polled IO is purely asynchronous. Similarly, marking the task as TASK_RUNNING is also superflous, as the very much has to be running to enter the function in the first place. It looks like there has been this judgment for historical reasons, and in very early versions of this function the user would set the process state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

2025-12-09block: Use RCU in blk_mq_[un]quiesce_tagset() instead of set->tag_list_lockMohamed Khalfella
blk_mq_{add,del}_queue_tag_set() functions add and remove queues from tagset, the functions make sure that tagset and queues are marked as shared when two or more queues are attached to the same tagset. Initially a tagset starts as unshared and when the number of added queues reaches two, blk_mq_add_queue_tag_set() marks it as shared along with all the queues attached to it. When the number of attached queues drops to 1 blk_mq_del_queue_tag_set() need to mark both the tagset and the remaining queues as unshared. Both functions need to freeze current queues in tagset before setting on unsetting BLK_MQ_F_TAG_QUEUE_SHARED flag. While doing so, both functions hold set->tag_list_lock mutex, which makes sense as we do not want queues to be added or deleted in the process. This used to work fine until commit 98d81f0df70c ("nvme: use blk_mq_[un]quiesce_tagset") made the nvme driver quiesce tagset instead of quiscing individual queues. blk_mq_quiesce_tagset() does the job and quiesce the queues in set->tag_list while holding set->tag_list_lock also. This results in deadlock between two threads with these stacktraces: __schedule+0x47c/0xbb0 ? timerqueue_add+0x66/0xb0 schedule+0x1c/0xa0 schedule_preempt_disabled+0xa/0x10 __mutex_lock.constprop.0+0x271/0x600 blk_mq_quiesce_tagset+0x25/0xc0 nvme_dev_disable+0x9c/0x250 nvme_timeout+0x1fc/0x520 blk_mq_handle_expired+0x5c/0x90 bt_iter+0x7e/0x90 blk_mq_queue_tag_busy_iter+0x27e/0x550 ? __blk_mq_complete_request_remote+0x10/0x10 ? __blk_mq_complete_request_remote+0x10/0x10 ? __call_rcu_common.constprop.0+0x1c0/0x210 blk_mq_timeout_work+0x12d/0x170 process_one_work+0x12e/0x2d0 worker_thread+0x288/0x3a0 ? rescuer_thread+0x480/0x480 kthread+0xb8/0xe0 ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80 ret_from_fork+0x2d/0x50 ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80 ret_from_fork_asm+0x11/0x20 __schedule+0x47c/0xbb0 ? xas_find+0x161/0x1a0 schedule+0x1c/0xa0 blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait+0x3d/0x70 ? destroy_sched_domains_rcu+0x30/0x30 blk_mq_update_tag_set_shared+0x44/0x80 blk_mq_exit_queue+0x141/0x150 del_gendisk+0x25a/0x2d0 nvme_ns_remove+0xc9/0x170 nvme_remove_namespaces+0xc7/0x100 nvme_remove+0x62/0x150 pci_device_remove+0x23/0x60 device_release_driver_internal+0x159/0x200 unbind_store+0x99/0xa0 kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x112/0x1e0 vfs_write+0x2b1/0x3d0 ksys_write+0x4e/0xb0 do_syscall_64+0x5b/0x160 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53 The top stacktrace is showing nvme_timeout() called to handle nvme command timeout. timeout handler is trying to disable the controller and as a first step, it needs to blk_mq_quiesce_tagset() to tell blk-mq not to call queue callback handlers. The thread is stuck waiting for set->tag_list_lock as it tries to walk the queues in set->tag_list. The lock is held by the second thread in the bottom stack which is waiting for one of queues to be frozen. The queue usage counter will drop to zero after nvme_timeout() finishes, and this will not happen because the thread will wait for this mutex forever.

2025-11-13block: move elevator tags into struct elevator_resourcesNilay Shroff
This patch introduces a new structure, struct elevator_resources, to group together all elevator-related resources that share the same lifetime. As a first step, this change moves the elevator tag pointer from struct elv_change_ctx into the new struct elevator_resources. Additionally, rename blk_mq_alloc_sched_tags_batch() and blk_mq_free_sched_tags_batch() to blk_mq_alloc_sched_res_batch() and blk_mq_free_sched_res_batch(), respectively. Introduce two new wrapper helpers, blk_mq_alloc_sched_res() and blk_mq_free_sched_res(), around blk_mq_alloc_sched_tags() and blk_mq_free_sched_tags(). These changes pave the way for consolidating the allocation and freeing of elevator-specific resources into common helper functions. This refactoring improves encapsulation and prepares the code for future extensions, allowing additional elevator-specific data to be added to struct elevator_resources without cluttering struct elv_change_ctx. Subsequent patches will extend struct elevator_resources to include other elevator-related data.

2025-11-13block: unify elevator tags and type xarrays into struct elv_change_ctxNilay Shroff
Currently, the nr_hw_queues update path manages two disjoint xarrays — one for elevator tags and another for elevator type — both used during elevator switching. Maintaining these two parallel structures for the same purpose adds unnecessary complexity and potential for mismatched state. This patch unifies both xarrays into a single structure, struct elv_change_ctx, which holds all per-queue elevator change context. A single xarray, named elv_tbl, now maps each queue (q->id) in a tagset to its corresponding elv_change_ctx entry, encapsulating the elevator tags, type and name references. This unification simplifies the code, improves maintainability, and clarifies ownership of per-queue elevator state.

The blk-mq dma iterator has an optimization for requests that align to the device's iommu merge boundary. This boundary may be larger than the device's virtual boundary, but the code had been depending on that queue limit to know ahead of time if the request is guaranteed to align to that optimization. Rather than rely on that queue limit, which many devices may not report, save the lowest set bit of any boundary gap between each segment in the bio while checking the segments. The request stores the value for merging and quickly checking per io if the request can use iova optimizations.

Commit 5989bfe6ac6b ("block: restore two stage elevator switch while running nr_hw_queue update") reintroduced a lockdep warning by calling blk_mq_freeze_queue_nomemsave() before switching the I/O scheduler. The function blk_mq_elv_switch_none() calls elevator_change_done(). Running this while the queue is frozen causes a lockdep warning. Fix this by reordering the operations: first, switch the I/O scheduler to 'none', and then freeze the queue. This ensures that elevator_change_done() is not called on an already frozen queue. And this way is safe because elevator_set_none() does freeze queue before switching to none. Also we still have to rely on blk_mq_elv_switch_back() for switching back, and it has to cover unfrozen queue case.

The elevator switch code would first exit old elevator (elevator_exit) and then switches to the new elevator. The elevator_exit loops through each hctx and invokes the elevator’s per-hctx exit method ->exit_hctx(), which releases resources allocated during ->init_hctx(). This memleak manifests when we reduce the num of h/w queues - for example, when the initial update sets the number of queues to X, and a later update reduces it to Y, where Y < X. In this case, we'd loose the access to old hctxs while we get to elevator exit code because __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs would have already released the old hctxs. As we don't now have any reference left to the old hctxs, we don't have any way to free the scheduler resources (which are allocate in ->init_hctx()) and kmemleak complains about it. This issue was caused due to the commit 596dce110b7d ("block: simplify elevator reattachment for updating nr_hw_queues"). That change unified the two-stage elevator teardown and reattachment into a single call that occurs after __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() has already freed the hctxs. This patch restores the previous two-stage elevator switch logic during nr_hw_queues updates. First, the elevator is switched to 'none', which ensures all scheduler resources are properly freed. Then, the hardware contexts (hctxs) are reallocated, and the software-to-hardware queue mappings are updated. Finally, the original elevator is reattached. This sequence prevents loss of references to old hctxs and avoids the scheduler resource leaks reported by kmemleak.

2025-07-15block: split blk_zone_update_request_bio into two functionsJohannes Thumshirn
blk_zone_update_request_bio() does two things. First it checks if the request to be completed was written via ZONE APPEND and if yes it then updates the sector to the one that the data was written to. This is small enough to be an inline function. But upcoming changes adding a tracepoint don't work if the function is inlined. Split the function into two, the first is blk_req_bio_is_zone_append() checking if the sector needs to be updated. This can still be an inline function. The second is blk_zone_append_update_request_bio() doing the sector update.

2025-06-30block: Introduce bio_needs_zone_write_plugging()Damien Le Moal
In preparation for fixing device mapper zone write handling, introduce the inline helper function bio_needs_zone_write_plugging() to test if a BIO requires handling through zone write plugging using the function blk_zone_plug_bio(). This function returns true for any write (op_is_write(bio) == true) operation directed at a zoned block device using zone write plugging, that is, a block device with a disk that has a zone write plug hash table. This helper allows simplifying the check on entry to blk_zone_plug_bio() and used in to protect calls to it for blk-mq devices and DM devices.

2025-05-12block: unfreeze queue if realloc tag set fails during nr_hw_queues updateNilay Shroff
In __blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), the current sequence involves: 1. unregistering sysfs/debugfs attributes 2. freeze the queue 3. reallocating the tag set 4. updating the queue map 5. reallocating hardware contexts 6. updating the elevator (which unfreeze the queue again) 7. re-register sysfs/debugfs attributes If tag set reallocation fails at step 3, the function skips steps 4–6 and proceeds directly to step 7, re-registering the sysfs/debugfs attributes without unfreezing the queue first. This is incorrect and can lead to a system hang or lockdep splat, as the queue remains frozen and is never properly unfrozen. This patch addresses the issue by explicitly unfreezing the queue before re-registering the sysfs/debugfs attributes in the event of a tag set reallocation failure.

Move elv_register[unregister]_queue out of ->elevator_lock & queue freezing, so we can kill many lockdep warnings. elv_register[unregister]_queue() is serialized, and just dealing with sysfs/ debugfs things, no need to be done with queue frozen: - when it is called from adding disk, elevator switch isn't possible because ->queue_kobj isn't added yet - when it is called from deleting disk, disable_elv_switch() is responsible for preventing new elevator switch and draining old elevator switch. - when it is called from blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues(), adding/removing disk and elevator switch can't be allowed or in-progress With this change, elevator's ->exit() is called before calling elv_unregister_queue, then user may call into ->show()/store() of elevator's sysfs attributes, and we have covered this issue by adding `ELEVATOR_FLAG_DYNG`. For blk-mq debugfs, hctx->sched_tags is always checked with ->elevator_lock by debugfs code, meantime hctx->sched_tags is updated with ->elevator_lock, so there isn't such issue.
