bio_uninit is the proper API to clean up a BIO that has been allocated
on stack or inside a structure that doesn't come from the BIO allocator.
Switch dm to use that instead of bio_disassociate_blkg, which really is
an implementation detail. Note that the bio_uninit calls are also moved
to the two callers of __send_empty_flush, so that they better pair with
the bio_init calls used to initialize them.

Currently blk-mq does not report any event when two requests get merged

We were only creating the request_queue debugfs_dir only
for make_request block drivers (multiqueue), but never for
request-based block drivers. We did this as we were only
creating non-blktrace additional debugfs files on that directory
for make_request drivers. However, since blktrace *always* creates
that directory anyway, we special-case the use of that directory
on blktrace. Other than this being an eye-sore, this exposes
request-based block drivers to the same debugfs fragile
race that used to exist with make_request block drivers
where if we start adding files onto that directory we can later
run a race with a double removal of dentries on the directory
if we don't deal with this carefully on blktrace.
Instead, just simplify things by always creating the request_queue
debugfs_dir on request_queue registration. Rename the mutex also to
reflect the fact that this is used outside of the blktrace context.

We make an assumption that a debugfs directory exists, but since
this can fail ensure it exists before allowing blktrace setup to
complete. Otherwise we end up stuffing blktrace files on the debugfs
root directory. In the worst case scenario this *in theory* can create
an eventual panic *iff* in the future a similarly named file is created
prior on the debugfs root directory. This theoretical crash can happen
due to a recursive removal followed by a specific dentry removal.
This doesn't fix any known crash, however I have seen the files
go into the main debugfs root directory in cases where the debugfs
directory was not created due to other internal bugs with blktrace
now fixed.
blktrace is also completely useless without this directory, so
this ensures to userspace we only setup blktrace if the kernel
can stuff files where they are supposed to go into.
debugfs directory creations typically aren't checked for, and we have
maintainers doing sweep removals of these checks, but since we need this
check to ensure proper userspace blktrace functionality we make sure
to annotate the justification for the check.

On commit 6ac93117ab ("blktrace: use existing disk debugfs directory")
merged on v4.12 Omar fixed the original blktrace code for request-based
drivers (multiqueue). This however left in place a possible crash, if you
happen to abuse blktrace while racing to remove / add a device.
We used to use asynchronous removal of the request_queue, and with that
the issue was easier to reproduce. Now that we have reverted to
synchronous removal of the request_queue, the issue is still possible to
reproduce, its however just a bit more difficult.
We essentially run two instances of break-blktrace which add/remove
a loop device, and setup a blktrace and just never tear the blktrace
down. We do this twice in parallel. This is easily reproduced with the
script run_0004.sh from break-blktrace [0].
We can end up with two types of panics each reflecting where we

The common theme here is:
debugfs: Directory 'loop0' with parent 'block' already present
This crash happens because of how blktrace uses the debugfs directory
where it places its files. Upon init we always create the same directory
which would be needed by blktrace but we only do this for make_request
drivers (multiqueue) block drivers. When you race a removal of these
devices with a blktrace setup you end up in a situation where the
make_request recursive debugfs removal will sweep away the blktrace
files and then later blktrace will also try to remove individual
dentries which are already NULL. The inverse is also possible and hence
the two types of use after frees.
We don't create the block debugfs directory on init for these types of
block devices:
* request-based block driver block devices
* every possible partition
* scsi-generic
And so, this race should in theory only be possible with make_request
drivers.
We can fix the UAF by simply re-using the debugfs directory for
make_request drivers (multiqueue) and only creating the ephemeral
directory for the other type of block devices. The new clarifications
on relying on the q->blk_trace_mutex *and* also checking for q->blk_trace
*prior* to processing a blktrace ensures the debugfs directories are
only created if no possible directory name clashes are possible.
This goes tested with:
o nvme partitions
o ISCSI with tgt, and blktracing against scsi-generic with:
o block
o tape
o cdrom
o media changer
o blktests
This patch is part of the work which disputes the severity of
CVE-2019-19770 which shows this issue is not a core debugfs issue, but
a misuse of debugfs within blktace.

Commit dc9edc44de ("block: Fix a blk_exit_rl() regression") merged on
v4.12 moved the work behind blk_release_queue() into a workqueue after a
splat floated around which indicated some work on blk_release_queue()
could sleep in blk_exit_rl(). This splat would be possible when a driver
called blk_put_queue() or blk_cleanup_queue() (which calls blk_put_queue()
as its final call) from an atomic context.
blk_put_queue() decrements the refcount for the request_queue kobject, and
upon reaching 0 blk_release_queue() is called. Although blk_exit_rl() is
now removed through commit db6d995235 ("block: remove request_list code")
on v5.0, we reserve the right to be able to sleep within
blk_release_queue() context.
The last reference for the request_queue must not be called from atomic
context. *When* the last reference to the request_queue reaches 0 varies,
and so let's take the opportunity to document when that is expected to
happen and also document the context of the related calls as best as
possible so we can avoid future issues, and with the hopes that the
synchronous request_queue removal sticks.
We revert back to synchronous request_queue removal because asynchronous
removal creates a regression with expected userspace interaction with
several drivers. An example is when removing the loopback driver, one
uses ioctls from userspace to do so, but upon return and if successful,
one expects the device to be removed. Likewise if one races to add another
device the new one may not be added as it is still being removed. This was
expected behavior before and it now fails as the device is still present
and busy still. Moving to asynchronous request_queue removal could have
broken many scripts which relied on the removal to have been completed if
there was no error. Document this expectation as well so that this
doesn't regress userspace again.
Using asynchronous request_queue removal however has helped us find
other bugs. In the future we can test what could break with this
arrangement by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE.
While at it, update the docs with the context expectations for the
request_queue / gendisk refcount decrement, and make these
expectations explicit by using might_sleep().

This is a variant of blk_mq_complete_request_remote that only completes
the request if it needs to be bounced to another CPU or a softirq. If
the request can be completed locally the function returns false and lets
the driver complete it without requring and indirect function call.

We don't really care if we get migrated during the I/O completion.

Move the call to blk_should_fake_timeout out of blk_mq_complete_request
and into the drivers, skipping call sites that are obvious error
handlers, and remove the now superflous blk_mq_force_complete_rq helper.
This ensures we don't keep injecting errors into completions that just
terminate the Linux request after the hardware has been reset or the
command has been aborted.

This userspace program includes UAPI headers exported to usr/include/.
'make headers' always works for the target architecture (i.e. the same
architecture as the kernel), so the sample program should be built for
the target as well. Kbuild now supports 'userprogs' for that.
I also guarded the CONFIG option by 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because
$(CC) may not provide libc.

This reverts commit e0b250b57d,
which broke build systems that need to install files to a certain
path, but do not set INSTALL_MOD_PATH when invoking 'make install'.
$ make INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/destdir install
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/lib/modules/5.8.0-rc1+/’: Permission denied
Makefile:1342: recipe for target '_builtin_inst_' failed
make: *** [_builtin_inst_] Error 1
While modules.builtin is useful also for CONFIG_MODULES=n, this change
in the behavior is quite unexpected. Maybe "make modules_install"
can install modules.builtin irrespective of CONFIG_MODULES as Jonas
originally suggested.
Anyway, that commit should be reverted ASAP.

'These patches are tied to specific features that were committed to
customers in upcoming distros releases (RHEL and SLES) whose
time-lines are tied to 5.8 kernel release.
Being able to track the health of an nvdimm is critical for our
customers that are running workloads leveraging papr-scm nvdimms.
Missing the 5.8 kernel would mean missing the distro timelines and
shifting forward the availability of this feature in distro kernels
by at least 6 months'
Summary:
- Fix the visibility of the region 'align' attribute.
The new unit tests for region alignment handling caught a corner
case where the alignment cannot be specified if the region is
converted from static to dynamic provisioning at runtime.
- Add support for device health retrieval for the persistent memory
supported by the papr_scm driver.
This includes both the standard sysfs "health flags" that the nfit
persistent memory driver publishes and a mechanism for the ndctl
tool to retrieve a health-command payload"
