commit 1cfd0ddd82232804e03f3023f6a58b50dfef0574 upstream.

Since "block: support large requests in blk_rq_map_user_iov" we
started to call it with partially drained iter; that works fine
on the write side, but reads create a copy of iter for completion
time.  And that needs to take the possibility of -&gt;iov_iter != 0
into account...

commit 2b04e8f6bbb196cab4b232af0f8d48ff2c7a8058 upstream.

we need to take care of failure exit as well - pages already
in bio should be dropped by analogue of bio_unmap_pages(),
since their refcounts had been bumped only once per reference
in bio.

commit 95d78c28b5a85bacbc29b8dba7c04babb9b0d467 upstream.

bio_map_user_iov and bio_unmap_user do unbalanced pages refcounting if
IO vector has small consecutive buffers belonging to the same page.
bio_add_pc_page merges them into one, but the page reference is never
dropped.

<title>block: call bio_uninit in bio_endio</title>

bio_free isn't a good place to free cgroup info. There are a
lot of cases bio is allocated in special way (for example, in stack) and
never gets called by bio_put hence bio_free, we are leaking memory. This
patch moves the free to bio endio, which should be called anyway. The
bio_uninit call in bio_free is kept, in case the bio never gets called
bio endio.

This assumes -&gt;bi_end_io() doesn't access cgroup info, which seems true
in my audit.

This along with Christoph's integrity patch should fix the memory leak
issue.

bio_integrity_trim inherent it's interface from bio_trim and accept
offset and size, but this API is error prone because data offset
must always be insync with bio's data offset. That is why we have
integrity update hook in bio_advance()

So only meaningful values are: offset == 0, sectors == bio_sectors(bio)
Let's just remove them completely.

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge
  round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some
  core cleanups.

  Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph
  already sent out.

  This pull request contains:

   - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the
     block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using
     different schemes for different places.

   - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO
     scheduler interactions in blk-mq.

   - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle
     and do bounce buffering in the block layer.

   - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support
     we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO
     hangs or stalls.

   - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization
     differences across types of devices.

   - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return
     failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking.

   - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to
     that of the underlying device.

   - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with
     lightnvm, particular around pblk.

   - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with
     NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement
     on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write
     amplification.

   - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for
     stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues.

   - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature
     side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew.

   - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set
     support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we
     don't really need them.

   - Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place"

<title>block: provide bio_uninit() free freeing integrity/task associations</title>

Wen reports significant memory leaks with DIF and O_DIRECT:

"With nvme devive + T10 enabled, On a system it has 256GB and started
logging /proc/meminfo &amp; /proc/slabinfo for every minute and in an hour
it increased by 15968128 kB or ~15+GB.. Approximately 256 MB / minute
leaking.

/proc/meminfo | grep SUnreclaim...

SUnreclaim:      6752128 kB
SUnreclaim:      6874880 kB
SUnreclaim:      7238080 kB
....
SUnreclaim:     22307264 kB
SUnreclaim:     22485888 kB
SUnreclaim:     22720256 kB

When testcases with T10 enabled call into __blkdev_direct_IO_simple,
code doesn't free memory allocated by bio_integrity_alloc. The patch
fixes the issue. HTX has been run with +60 hours without failure."

Since __blkdev_direct_IO_simple() allocates the bio on the stack, it
doesn't go through the regular bio free. This means that any ancillary
data allocated with the bio through the stack is not freed. Hence, we
can leak the integrity data associated with the bio, if the device is
using DIF/DIX.

Fix this by providing a bio_uninit() and export it, so that we can use
it to free this data. Note that this is a minimal fix for this issue.
Any current user of bio's that are allocated outside of
bio_alloc_bioset() suffers from this issue, most notably some drivers.
We will fix those in a more comprehensive patch for 4.13. This also
means that the commit marked as being fixed by this isn't the real
culprit, it's just the most obvious one out there.

<content type='text'>
No functional changes in this patch, we just use up some holes
in the bio and request structures to define a write hint that
we psas down the stack.

Ensure that we don't merge requests that have different life time
hints assigned to them, and that we inherit the write hint when
cloning a bio.
