The nr_active counter continues to increase over time which causes the
blk_mq_get_tag to hang until the thread is rescheduled to a different
core despite there are still tags available.

The scsi driver function sd_read_block_characteristics() always calls
disk_set_zoned() to a disk zoned model correctly, in case the device
model changed. This is done even for regular disks to set the zoned
model to BLK_ZONED_NONE and free any zone related resources if the drive
previously was zoned.

This behavior significantly impact the time it takes to revalidate disks
on a large system as the call to disk_clear_zone_settings() done from
disk_set_zoned() for the BLK_ZONED_NONE case results in the device
request queued to be frozen, even if there are no zone resources to
free.

Avoid this overhead for non-zoned devices by not calling
disk_clear_zone_settings() in disk_set_zoned() if the device model
was already set to BLK_ZONED_NONE, which is always the case for regular
devices.

<title>block: make bio_check_eod work for zero sized devices</title>

<id>3eb96946f0be6bf447cbdf219aba22bc42672f92</id>
<content type='text'>
Since the dawn of time bio_check_eod has a check for a non-zero size of
the device.  This doesn't really make any sense as we never want to send
I/O to a device that's been set to zero size, or never moved out of that.

I am a bit surprised we haven't caught this for a long time, but the
removal of the extra validation inside of zram caused syzbot to trip
over this issue recently.  I've added a Fixes tag for that commit, but
the issue really goes back way before git history.

<title>block: fix bio-cache for passthru IO</title>

commit &lt;8af870aa5b847&gt; ("block: enable bio caching use for passthru IO")
introduced bio-cache for passthru IO. In case when nr_vecs are greater
than BIO_INLINE_VECS, bio and bvecs are allocated from mempool (instead
of percpu cache) and REQ_ALLOC_CACHE is cleared. This causes the side
effect of not freeing bio/bvecs into mempool on completion.

This patch lets the passthru IO fallback to allocation using bio_kmalloc
when nr_vecs are greater than BIO_INLINE_VECS. The corresponding bio
is freed during call to blk_mq_map_bio_put during completion.

<title>block: Deny writable memory mapping if block is read-only</title>

User should not be able to write block device if it is read-only at
block level (e.g force_ro attribute). This is ensured in the regular
fops write operation (blkdev_write_iter) but not when writing via
user mapping (mmap), allowing user to actually write a read-only
block device via a PROT_WRITE mapping.

Example: This can lead to integrity issue of eMMC boot partition
(e.g mmcblk0boot0) which is read-only by default.

To fix this issue, simply deny shared writable mapping if the block
is readonly.

Note: Block remains writable if switch to read-only is performed
after the initial mapping, but this is expected behavior according
to commit a32e236eb93e ("Partially revert "block: fail op_is_write()
requests to read-only partitions"")'.

 - MD pull request via Song:
      - Improve raid5 sequential IO performance on spinning disks, which
        fixes a regression since v6.0 (Jan Kara)
      - Fix bitmap offset types, which fixes an issue introduced in this
        merge window (Jonathan Derrick)

 - Cleanup of hweight type used for cgroup writeback (Maxim)

 - Fix a regression with the "has_submit_bio" changes across partitions
   (Ming)

 - Cleanup of QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM clearing.

   We used to set this flag on queues non blk-mq queues, and hence some
   drivers clear it unconditionally. Since all of these have since been
   converted to true blk-mq drivers, drop the useless clear as the bit
   is not set (Chaitanya)

 - Fix the flags being set in a bio for a flush for drbd (Christoph)

 - Cleanup and deduplication of the code handling setting block device
   capacity (Damien)

 - Fix for ublk handling IO timeouts (Ming)

 - Fix for a regression in blk-cgroup teardown (Tao)

 - NBD documentation and code fixes (Eric)

Kernel hang in blkg_destroy_all() when total blkg greater than
BLKG_DESTROY_BATCH_SIZE, because of not removing destroyed blkg in
blkg_list. So the size of blkg_list is same after destroying a
batch of blkg, and the infinite 'restart' occurs.

Since blkg should stay on the queue list until blkg_free_workfn(),
skip destroyed blkg when restart a new round, which will solve this
kernel hang issue and satisfy the previous will to restart.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the large set of driver core changes for 6.4-rc1.

  Once again, a busy development cycle, with lots of changes happening
  in the driver core in the quest to be able to move "struct bus" and
  "struct class" into read-only memory, a task now complete with these
  changes.

  This will make the future rust interactions with the driver core more
  "provably correct" as well as providing more obvious lifetime rules
  for all busses and classes in the kernel.

  The changes required for this did touch many individual classes and
  busses as many callbacks were changed to take const * parameters
  instead. All of these changes have been submitted to the various
  subsystem maintainers, giving them plenty of time to review, and most
  of them actually did so.

  Other than those changes, included in here are a small set of other
  things:

   - kobject logging improvements

   - cacheinfo improvements and updates

   - obligatory fw_devlink updates and fixes

   - documentation updates

   - device property cleanups and const * changes

   - firwmare loader dependency fixes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
  problems"

* tag 'driver-core-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core: (120 commits)
  device property: make device_property functions take const device *
  driver core: update comments in device_rename()
  driver core: Don't require dynamic_debug for initcall_debug probe timing
  firmware_loader: rework crypto dependencies
  firmware_loader: Strip off \n from customized path
  zram: fix up permission for the hot_add sysfs file
  cacheinfo: Add use_arch[|_cache]_info field/function
  arch_topology: Remove early cacheinfo error message if -ENOENT
  cacheinfo: Check cache properties are present in DT
  cacheinfo: Check sib_leaf in cache_leaves_are_shared()
