- Add support for a lockless bitmap.
A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.
By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.
- Switch ->getgeo() and ->bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
than struct block_device.
- Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.
The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
`kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
to support the same use as the removed logic.
- floppy arch cleanups
- Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands
- Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
setups.

- Fix a few issues around atomic writes
- Improve DMA interation for integrity requests
- Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
constraints.

Some ublk selftests have strange behavior when fio is not installed.
While most tests behave correctly (run if they don't need fio, or skip
if they need fio), the following tests have different behavior:
- test_null_01, test_null_02, test_generic_01, test_generic_02, and
test_generic_12 try to run fio without checking if it exists first,
and fail on any failure of the fio command (including "fio command
not found"). So these tests fail when they should skip.
- test_stress_05 runs fio without checking if it exists first, but
doesn't fail on fio command failure. This test passes, but that pass
is misleading as the test doesn't do anything useful without fio
installed. So this test passes when it should skip.
Fix these issues by adding _have_program fio checks to the top of all of
these tests.

Add a test that verifies that the currently running kernel does not
report support for any features that are unrecognized by kublk. This
should catch cases where features are added without updating kublk's
feat_map accordingly, which has happened multiple times in the past (see
[1], [2]).
Note that this new test may fail if the test suite is older than the
kernel, and the newer kernel contains a newly introduced feature. I
believe this is not a use case we currently care about - we only care
about newer test suites passing on older kernels.

Simplify the definition of feat_map by introducing a helper macro
FEAT_NAME to avoid having to type the feature name twice. As a side
effect, this changes the names in the feature list to be the full macro
name instead of the abbreviated names that were used before, but this is
a good change for clarity.
Using the full feature macro names ruins the alignment of the output, so
change the output format to put each feature's hex value before its
name, as this is easier to align nicely. The output now looks as
follows:
root# ./kublk features
ublk_drv features: 0x7fff

Add a new command line option --no_ublk_fixed_fd that excludes the ublk
control device (/dev/ublkcN) from io_uring's registered files array.
When this option is used, only backing files are registered starting
from index 1, while the ublk control device is accessed using its raw
file descriptor.
Add ublk_get_registered_fd() helper function that returns the appropriate
file descriptor for use with io_uring operations.
Key optimizations implemented:
- Cache UBLKS_Q_NO_UBLK_FIXED_FD flag in ublk_queue.flags to avoid
reading dev->no_ublk_fixed_fd in fast path
- Cache ublk char device fd in ublk_queue.ublk_fd for fast access
- Update ublk_get_registered_fd() to use ublk_queue * parameter
- Update io_uring_prep_buf_register/unregister() to use ublk_queue *
- Replace ublk_device * access with ublk_queue * access in fast paths
Also pass --no_ublk_fixed_fd to test_stress_04.sh for covering
plain ublk char device mode.

'struct thread' is task local structure, and the related code will become
more readable if we pass it via parameter.
Meantime pass 'ublk_thread *' to ublk_io_alloc_sqes(), and this way is
natural since we use per-thread io_uring for handling IO.
More importantly it helps much for removing the current ubq_daemon or

Some failure modes are handled poorly by kublk. For example, if ublk_drv
is built as a module but not currently loaded into the kernel, ./kublk
add ... just hangs forever. This happens because in this case (and a few
others), the worker process does not notify its parent (via a write to
the shared eventfd) that it has tried and failed to initialize, so the
parent hangs forever. Fix this by ensuring that we always notify the
parent process of any initialization failure, and have the parent print
a (not very descriptive) log line when this happens.

Add a new test_stress_06 for the per io daemons feature. This is just a

amounts of nthreads. This test is able to reproduce a panic which was
caught manually during development [1]; in the current version of this
patch set, it passes.
Note that this commit also makes all stress tests using the
run_io_and_remove helper more stressful by additionally exercising the
batch submit (queue_rqs) path.

Add a new test test_generic_12 which:
- sets up a ublk server with per_io_tasks and a different number of ublk
server threads and ublk_queues. This is possible now that these
objects are decoupled
- runs some I/O load from a single CPU
- verifies that all the ublk server threads handle some I/O
Before this changeset, this test fails, since I/O issued from one CPU is
always handled by the one ublk server thread. After this changeset, the
test passes.
In the future, the last check above may be strengthened to "verify that
all ublk server threads handle the same amount of I/O." However, this
requires some adjustments/bugfixes to tag allocation, so this work is
postponed to a followup.

Add support in kublk for decoupled ublk_queues and ublk server threads.
kublk now has two modes of operation:
- (preexisting mode) threads and queues are paired 1:1, and each thread
services all the I/Os of one queue
- (new mode) thread and queue counts are independently configurable.
threads service I/Os in a way that balances load across threads even
if load is not balanced over queues.
The default is the preexisting mode. The new mode is activated by
passing the --per_io_tasks flag.

Towards the goal of decoupling ublk_queues from ublk server threads,
move resources/data that should be per-thread rather than per-queue out
of ublk_queue and into a new struct ublk_thread.

Currently, each ublk server I/O handler thread initializes its own
queue. However, as we move towards decoupled ublk_queues and ublk server
threads, this model does not make sense anymore, as there will no longer
be a concept of a thread having "its own" queue. So lift queue
initialization out of the per-thread ublk_io_handler_fn and into a loop
in ublk_start_daemon (which runs once for each device).
There is a part of ublk_queue_init (ring initialization) which does
actually need to happen on the thread that will use the ring; that is
separated into a separate ublk_thread_init which is still called by each
I/O handler thread.

We currently have a helper ublk_queue_alloc_sqes which the ublk targets
use to allocate SQEs for their own operations. However, as we move
towards decoupled ublk_queues and ublk server threads, this helper does
not make sense anymore. SQEs are allocated from rings, and we will have
one ring per thread to avoid locking. Change the SQE allocation helper
to ublk_io_alloc_sqes. Currently this still allocates SQEs from the io's
queue's ring, but when we fully decouple threads and queues, it will
allocate from the io's thread's ring instead.

Currently, when we process CQEs, we know which ublk_queue we are working
on because we know which ring we are working on, and ublk_queues and
rings are in 1:1 correspondence. However, as we decouple ublk_queues
from ublk server threads, ublk_queues and rings will no longer be in 1:1
correspondence - each ublk server thread will have a ring, and each
thread may issue commands against more than one ublk_queue. So in order
to know which ublk_queue a CQE refers to, plumb that information in the
associated SQE's user_data.

__run_io_and_remove() is used in several stress tests for running heavy
IO vs. removing device meantime.
However, sequential `readwrite` is taken in the fio script, which isn't
correct, we should take random IO for saturating ublk device.
Also turns out '--num_jobs=4' isn't stressful enough, so change it to
'--num_jobs=$(nproc)'.
Finally we don't cover single queue test in `test_stress_02.sh`, so add
single queue test which can trigger request tag recycling easier.
With above change the issue in #1 can be reproduced reliably in stress_02.sh.

Building kublk currently fails (with a "could not find linux/ublk_cmd.h"
error message) if kernel headers are not installed in a system-global
location (i.e. somewhere in the compiler's default include search path).
This failure is unnecessary, as make kselftest installs kernel headers
in the build tree - kublk's build just isn't looking for them properly.
There is an include path in kublk's CFLAGS which is probably intended to
find the kernel headers installed in the build tree; fix it so that it
can actually find them.
This introduces some macro redefinition issues between glibc-provided
headers and kernel headers; fix those by eliminating one include in
kublk.

Compiler warnings can catch bugs at compile time; thus, heeding them is
usually a good idea. Turn warnings into errors by default for the kublk
build so that anyone making changes is forced to heed them. Compiler
warnings can also sometimes produce annoying false positives, so provide
a flag WERROR that the developer can use as follows to have the build
and selftests run go through even if there are warnings:
make WERROR=0 TARGETS=ublk kselftest

Some distributions, such as centos stream 9, still have a version of
coreutils which does not yet support the %Hr and %Lr formats for stat(1)
[1, 2]. Running ublk selftests on these distributions results in the
following error in tests that use the _get_disk_dev_t helper:
line 23: ?r: syntax error: operand expected (error token is "?r")
To better accommodate older distributions, rewrite _get_disk_dev_t to
use the much older %t and %T formats for stat instead.
