null_blk: don't cap max_hw_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS

[ Upstream commit 9a9525de865410047fa962867b4fcd33943b206f ]

null_blk has some rather odd capping of the max_hw_sectors value to
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which doesn't make sense - max_hw_sector is the
hardware limit, and BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS despite the confusing name is the
default cap for the max_sectors field used for normal file system I/O.

Remove all the capping, and simply leave it to the block layer or
user to take up or not all of that for file system I/O.

BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008

This is indeed a race problem between null_timeout_rq() and null_poll().

null_poll() null_timeout_rq()
spin_lock(&nq->poll_lock)
list_splice_init(&nq->poll_list, &list)
spin_unlock(&nq->poll_lock)

while (!list_empty(&list))
req = list_first_entry()
list_del_init()
...
blk_mq_add_to_batch()
// req->rq_next = NULL
spin_lock(&nq->poll_lock)

// rq->queuelist->next == NULL
list_del_init(&rq->queuelist)

spin_unlock(&nq->poll_lock)

Fix these problems by setting requests state to MQ_RQ_COMPLETE under
nq->poll_lock protection, in which null_timeout_rq() can safely detect
this race and early return.

Note this patch just fix the kernel panic when request timeout happen.

block: null_blk: make fault-injection dynamically configurable per device

The null_blk driver has multiple driver-specific fault injection
mechanisms. Each fault injection configuration can only be specified by a
module parameter and cannot be reconfigured without reloading the driver.
Also, each configuration is common to all devices and is initialized every
time a new device is added.

This change adds the following subdirectories for each null_blk device.

/sys/kernel/config/nullb/<disk>/timeout_inject
/sys/kernel/config/nullb/<disk>/requeue_inject
/sys/kernel/config/nullb/<disk>/init_hctx_fault_inject

Each fault injection attribute can be dynamically set per device by a
corresponding file in these directories.

When injecting a fake timeout into the null_blk driver using

for a timedout request.

The null_blk driver also has a driver-specific fake timeout mechanism
which does not have this problem. Fix the problem with fail_io_timeout
by using the same meachanism as null_blk internal timeout feature, using
the fake_timeout field of null_blk commands.

null_blk: support read-only and offline zone conditions

In zoned mode, zones with write pointers can have conditions "read-only"
or "offline". In read-only condition, zones can not be written. In
offline condition, the zones can be neither written nor read. These
conditions are intended for zones with media failures, then it is
difficult to set those conditions to zones on real devices.

To test handling of zones in the conditions, add a feature to null_blk
to set up zones in read-only or offline condition. Add new configuration
attributes "zone_readonly" and "zone_offline". Write a sector to the
attribute files to specify the target zone to set the zone conditions.
For example, following command lines do it:

echo 0 > nullb1/zone_readonly
echo 524288 > nullb1/zone_offline

When the specified zones are already in read-only or offline condition,
normal empty condition is restored to the zones. These condition changes
can be done only after the null_blk device get powered, since status
area of each zone is not yet allocated before power-on.

Also improve zone condition checks to inhibit all commands for zones in
offline conditions. In same manner, inhibit write and zone management
commands for zones in read-only condition.

blk-mq: Drop blk_mq_ops.timeout 'reserved' arg

With new API blk_mq_is_reserved_rq() we can tell if a request is from
the reserved pool, so stop passing 'reserved' arg. There is actually
only a single user of that arg for all the callback implementations, which
can use blk_mq_is_reserved_rq() instead.

This will also allow us to stop passing the same 'reserved' around the
blk-mq iter functions next.

block: remove blk_cleanup_disk

blk_cleanup_disk is nothing but a trivial wrapper for put_disk now,
so remove it.

block: null_blk: Fix null_zone_write()

The bio and rq fields of struct nullb_cmd are now overlapping in a
union. So we cannot use a test on ->bio being non-NULL to detect the
NULL_Q_BIO queue mode.

block: null_blk: Fix null_zone_write()

The bio and rq fields of struct nullb_cmd are now overlapping in a
union. So we cannot use a test on ->bio being non-NULL to detect the
NULL_Q_BIO queue mode. null_zone_write() use such broken test to set the
sector position of a zone append write in the command bio or request.
When the null_blk device uses the NULL_Q_MQ queue mode,
null_zone_write() wrongly end up setting the bio sector position,
resulting in the command request to be broken and random crashes
following.

Fix this by testing the device queue mode directly.

block: null_blk: Improve device creation with configfs

Currently, the directory name used to create a nullb device through
sysfs is not used as the device name, potentially causing headaches for
users if devices are already created through the modprobe operation
withe the nr_device module parameter not set to 0. E.g. a user can do
"mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0" to create a nullb device even
though /dev/nullb0 was already created by modprobe. In this case, the
configfs nullb device will be named nullb1, causing confusion for the
user.

Simplify this by using the configfs directory name as the nullb device
name, always, unless another nullb device is already using the same
name. E.g. if modprobe created nullb0, then:

$ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0
mkdir: cannot create directory '/sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0': File
exists

will be reported to the user.

To implement this, the function null_find_dev_by_name() is added to
check for the existence of a nullb device with the name used for a new
configfs device directory. nullb_group_make_item() uses this new
function to check if the directory name can be used as the disk name.
Finally, null_add_dev() is modified to use the device config item name
as the disk name for a new nullb device created using configfs.
The naming of devices created though modprobe remains unchanged.

Of note is that it is possible for a user to create through configfs a
nullb device with the same name as an existing device. E.g.

$ mkdir /sys/kernel/config/nullb/null

will successfully create the nullb device named "null" but this block
device will however not appear under /dev/ since /dev/null already
exists.
