Pull block updates from Jens Axboe: - Support for batch request processing for ublk, improving the efficiency of the kernel/ublk server communication. This can yield nice 7-12% performance improvements - Support for integrity data for ublk - Various other ublk improvements and additions, including a ton of selftests additions and updated - Move the handling of blk-crypto software fallback from below the block layer to above it. This reduces the complexity of dealing with bio splitting - Series fixing a number of potential deadlocks in blk-mq related to the queue usage counter and writeback throttling and rq-qos debugfs handling - Add an async_depth queue attribute, to resolve a performance regression that's been around for a qhilw related to the scheduler depth handling - Only use task_work for IOPOLL completions on NVMe, if it is necessary to do so. An earlier fix for an issue resulted in all these completions being punted to task_work, to guarantee that completions were only run for a given io_uring ring when it was local to that ring. With the new changes, we can detect if it's necessary to use task_work or not, and avoid it if possible. - rnbd fixes: - Fix refcount underflow in device unmap path - Handle PREFLUSH and NOUNMAP flags properly in protocol - Fix server-side bi_size for special IOs - Zero response buffer before use - Fix trace format for flags - Add .release to rnbd_dev_ktype - MD pull requests via Yu Kuai - Fix raid5_run() to return error when log_init() fails - Fix IO hang with degraded array with llbitmap - Fix percpu_ref not resurrected on suspend timeout in llbitmap - Fix GPF in write_page caused by resize race - Fix NULL pointer dereference in process_metadata_update - Fix hang when stopping arrays with metadata through dm-raid - Fix any_working flag handling in raid10_sync_request - Refactor sync/recovery code path, improve error handling for badblocks, and remove unused recovery_disabled field - Consolidate mddev boolean fields into mddev_flags - Use mempool to allocate stripe_request_ctx and make sure max_sectors is not less than io_opt in raid5 - Fix return value of mddev_trylock - Fix memory leak in raid1_run() - Add Li Nan as mdraid reviewer - Move phys_vec definitions to the kernel types, mostly in preparation for some VFIO and RDMA changes - Improve the speed for secure erase for some devices - Various little rust updates - Various other minor fixes, improvements, and cleanups * tag 'for-7.0/block-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: (162 commits) blk-mq: ABI/sysfs-block: fix docs build warnings selftests: ublk: organize test directories by test ID block: decouple secure erase size limit from discard size limit block: remove redundant kill_bdev() call in set_blocksize() blk-mq: add documentation for new queue attribute async_dpeth block, bfq: convert to use request_queue->async_depth mq-deadline: covert to use request_queue->async_depth kyber: covert to use request_queue->async_depth blk-mq: add a new queue sysfs attribute async_depth blk-mq: factor out a helper blk_mq_limit_depth() blk-mq-sched: unify elevators checking for async requests block: convert nr_requests to unsigned int block: don't use strcpy to copy blockdev name blk-mq-debugfs: warn about possible deadlock blk-mq-debugfs: add missing debugfs_mutex in blk_mq_debugfs_register_hctxs() blk-mq-debugfs: remove blk_mq_debugfs_unregister_rqos() blk-mq-debugfs: make blk_mq_debugfs_register_rqos() static blk-rq-qos: fix possible debugfs_mutex deadlock blk-mq-debugfs: factor out a helper to register debugfs for all rq_qos blk-wbt: fix possible deadlock to nest pcpu_alloc_mutex under q_usage_counter ...

selftests: ublk: organize test directories by test ID

2026-02-05T03:46:44Z

Set UBLK_TEST_DIR to ${TMPDIR:-./ublktest-dir}/${TID}.XXXXXX to create per-test subdirectories organized by test ID. This makes it easier to identify and debug specific test runs. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

selftests: ublk: improve I/O ordering test with bpftrace

2026-01-31T21:56:28Z

Remove test_generic_01.sh since block layer may reorder I/O, making the test prone to false positives. Apply the improvements to test_generic_02.sh instead, which supposes for covering ublk dispatch io order. Rework test_generic_02 to verify that ublk dispatch doesn't reorder I/O by comparing request start order with completion order using bpftrace. The bpftrace script now: - Tracks each request's start sequence number in a map keyed by sector - On completion, verifies the request's start order matches expected completion order - Reports any out-of-order completions detected The test script: - Wait bpftrace BEGIN code block is run - Pins fio to CPU 0 for deterministic behavior - Uses block_io_start and block_rq_complete tracepoints - Checks bpftrace output for reordering errors Reported-and-tested-by: Alexander Atanasov Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

selftests: ublk: reorganize tests into integrity and recover groups

2026-01-31T21:56:28Z

Move integrity-focused tests into new 'integrity' group: - test_null_04.sh -> test_integrity_01.sh - test_loop_08.sh -> test_integrity_02.sh Move recovery-focused tests into new 'recover' group: - test_generic_04.sh -> test_recover_01.sh - test_generic_05.sh -> test_recover_02.sh - test_generic_11.sh -> test_recover_03.sh - test_generic_14.sh -> test_recover_04.sh Update Makefile to reflect the reorganization.

selftests: ublk: increase timeouts for parallel test execution

2026-01-31T21:56:28Z

When running tests in parallel with high JOBS count (e.g., JOBS=64), the existing timeouts can be insufficient due to system load: - Increase state wait loops from 20/50 to 100 iterations in _recover_ublk_dev(), __ublk_quiesce_dev(), and __ublk_kill_daemon() to handle slower state transitions under heavy load - Add --timeout=20 to udevadm settle calls to prevent indefinite hangs when udev event queue is overwhelmed by rapid device creation/deletion Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

selftests: ublk: add _ublk_sleep helper for parallel execution

2026-01-31T21:56:28Z

Add _ublk_sleep() helper function that uses different sleep times depending on whether tests run in parallel or sequential mode. Usage: _ublk_sleep Export JOBS variable from Makefile so test scripts can detect parallel execution, and use _ublk_sleep in test_part_02.sh to handle the partition scan delay (1s normal, 5s parallel).

selftests: ublk: add group-based test targets

2026-01-31T21:56:28Z

Add convenient Makefile targets for running specific test groups: - run_generic, run_batch, run_null, run_loop, run_stripe, run_stress, etc. - run_all for running all tests Test groups are auto-detected from TEST_PROGS using pattern matching (test__.sh -> group), and targets are generated dynamically using define/eval templates. Supports parallel execution via JOBS variable: - JOBS=1 (default): sequential with kselftest TAP output - JOBS>1: parallel execution with xargs -P Usage examples: make run_null # Sequential execution make run_stress JOBS=4 # Parallel with 4 jobs make run_all JOBS=8 # Run all tests with 8 parallel jobs With JOBS=8, running time of `make run_all` is reduced to 2m2s from 6m5s in my test VM.

selftests: ublk: track created devices for per-test cleanup

2026-01-31T21:56:28Z

Track device IDs in UBLK_DEVS array when created. Update _cleanup_test() to only delete devices created by this test instead of using 'del -a' which removes all devices. This prepares for running tests concurrently where each test should only clean up its own devices. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

selftests: ublk: add _ublk_del_dev helper function

2026-01-31T21:56:28Z

Add _ublk_del_dev() to delete a specific ublk device by ID and use it in all test scripts instead of calling UBLK_PROG directly. Also remove unused _remove_ublk_devices() function. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
