Merge tag 'for-7.0/block-20260206' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux
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

selftests: ublk: support arbitrary threads/queues combination
Enable flexible thread-to-queue mapping in batch I/O mode to support arbitrary combinations of threads and queues, improving resource utilization and scalability.
Key improvements: - Support N:M thread-to-queue mapping (previously limited to 1:1) - Dynamic buffer allocation based on actual queue assignment per thread - Thread-safe queue preparation with spinlock protection - Intelligent buffer index calculation for multi-queue scenarios - Enhanced validation for thread/queue combination constraints
Implementation details: - Add q_thread_map matrix to track queue-to-thread assignments - Dynamic allocation of commit and fetch buffers per thread - Round-robin queue assignment algorithm for load balancing - Per-queue spinlock to prevent race conditions during prep - Updated buffer index calculation using queue position within thread
This enables efficient configurations like: - Any other N:M combinations for optimal resource matching
Testing: - Added test_batch_02.sh: 4 threads vs 1 queue - Added test_batch_03.sh: 1 thread vs 4 queues - Validates correctness across different mapping scenarios

selftests: ublk: handle UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS
Add support for UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS to enable efficient batch fetching of I/O commands using multishot io_uring operations.
Key improvements: - Implement multishot UBLK_U_IO_FETCH_IO_CMDS for continuous command fetching - Add fetch buffer management with page-aligned, mlocked buffers - Process fetched I/O command tags from kernel-provided buffers - Integrate fetch operations with existing batch I/O infrastructure - Significantly reduce uring_cmd issuing overhead through batching
The implementation uses two fetch buffers per thread with automatic requeuing to maintain continuous I/O command flow. Each fetch operation retrieves multiple command tags in a single syscall, dramatically improving performance compared to individual command fetching.
Technical details: - Fetch buffers are page-aligned and mlocked for optimal performance - Uses IORING_URING_CMD_MULTISHOT for continuous operation - Automatic buffer management and requeuing on completion - Enhanced CQE handling for fetch command completions

selftests: ublk: handle UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS
Implement UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS to enable efficient batched completion of I/O operations in the batch I/O framework.
This completes the batch I/O infrastructure by adding the commit phase that notifies the kernel about completed I/O operations:
Key features: - Batch multiple I/O completions into single UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS - Dynamic commit buffer allocation and management per thread - Automatic commit buffer preparation before processing events - Commit buffer submission after processing completed I/Os - Integration with existing completion workflows
Implementation details: - ublk_batch_prep_commit() allocates and initializes commit buffers - ublk_batch_complete_io() adds completed I/Os to current batch - ublk_batch_commit_io_cmds() submits batched completions to kernel - Modified ublk_process_io() to handle batch commit lifecycle - Enhanced ublk_complete_io() to route to batch or legacy completion
The commit buffer stores completion information (tag, result, buffer details) for multiple I/Os, then submits them all at once, significantly reducing syscall overhead compared to individual I/O completions.

selftests: ublk: handle UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS
Implement support for UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS in the batch I/O framework:
- Add batch command initialization and setup functions - Implement prep command queueing with proper buffer management - Add command completion handling for prep and commit commands - Integrate batch I/O setup into thread initialization - Update CQE handling to support batch commands
The implementation uses the previously established buffer management infrastructure to queue UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS commands. Commands are prepared in the first thread context and use commit buffers for efficient command batching.
Key changes: - ublk_batch_queue_prep_io_cmds() prepares I/O command batches - ublk_batch_compl_cmd() handles batch command completions - Modified thread setup to use batch operations when enabled - Enhanced buffer index calculation for batch mode

selftests: ublk: add batch buffer management infrastructure
Add the foundational infrastructure for UBLK_F_BATCH_IO buffer management including:
- Allocator utility functions for small sized per-thread allocation - Batch buffer allocation and deallocation functions - Buffer index management for commit buffers - Thread state management for batch I/O mode - Buffer size calculation based on device features
This prepares the groundwork for handling batch I/O commands by establishing the buffer management layer needed for UBLK_U_IO_PREP_IO_CMDS and UBLK_U_IO_COMMIT_IO_CMDS operations.
The allocator uses CPU sets for efficient per-thread buffer tracking, and commit buffers are pre-allocated with 2 buffers per thread to handle overlapping command operations.
