Currently, we have only a one area per zcrx instance, and struct
io_zcrx_ifq stores a single pointer. To prepare for adding more areas,
replace it with an array of areas.
We'll be creating them at runtime, and the array is protected by 3
locks: ->pp_lock, ->alloc_lock and ->rq.lock. It takes all of them when
switching arrays, and readers should hold either of them.

io_zcrx_ring_refill() caps the loop by mixing the max number of
allocated netmems and the number of available RQEs together, which
caps the number of entries to process the pp cache size. As a result,
when niovs are heavily fragmented, the refilling logic allocates only a
small number of niovs per call on average and sometimes even none.
Keep a separate counter for the number of processed RQ entries, which is
capped by a roughly calculated from the page size value to keep the
cache full. And separately break if it allocates enough niovs.

create_worker_cb() reserves an io-wq worker slot only after its
task-work callback runs. If the callback is canceled before then,
io_worker_cancel_cb() still decrements acct->nr_workers. When an
existing worker retires with its creation callback pending, that
worker has already decremented the same account's worker count.
The resulting undercount permits worker creation beyond the account's
configured limit. On an AST2600 OpenBMC system, an unchanged sensor
daemon reached 4,291 threads with the original kernel. With an
equivalent downstream fix, 25 passive samples under its normal
workload showed 6-9 threads.
Decrement nr_workers only when the canceled callback is not
create_worker_cb(). Continuation callbacks still release their reserved
slot, and both callback types retain the existing running-count,
reference-count, and create-state cleanup.

Disks created via blk_mq_alloc_disk_for_queue() (e.g. SCSI SD disks)
do not have GD_OWNS_QUEUE set. Currently __blk_mark_disk_dead() only
sets QUEUE_FLAG_DYING when GD_OWNS_QUEUE is set, so for such disks
blk_queue_enter() and __bio_queue_enter() cannot detect the dying
state via blk_queue_dying() and remain blocked waiting for I/O that
will never complete after surprise removal.
blk_mark_disk_dead() is the explicit "surprise removal" API -- the
caller has already decided the disk is dead. Setting QUEUE_FLAG_DYING
unconditionally here is appropriate: any in-flight I/O from other
threads should get -ENODEV immediately from blk_queue_enter()
regardless of GD_OWNS_QUEUE ownership.
For disks that already have GD_OWNS_QUEUE set, __blk_mark_disk_dead()
will set the flag again which is harmless.

blk_cgroup_congested() walks the current task's blkcg ancestor chain on
every readahead decision and, once swap is in use, on every anonymous and
shmem folio allocation. The answer is almost always "no", but finding that
out costs two loads per level on two cold cache lines, plus an out-of-line
kthread_blkcg() and an RCU read-side pair. On a fleet profile of hosts
running containers with 5-10 level hierarchies it costs about as much as
all of mutex_lock(), 99.4% of it under __folio_throttle_swaprate().
Gate the walk on a global count of blkcgs with a non-zero
congestion_count. The counter only moves on the 0 <-> 1 transitions of
each blkcg's congestion_count, so the extra atomic stays in the throttle
arm/disarm paths and never appears in steady state. When something is
throttled the counter is non-zero and the walk runs as before.

iocg_kick_delay() turns sufficiently large debt into an explicit
block-cgroup delay with blkcg_set_delay(), setting blkg->use_delay to
-1 and incrementing blkcg->congestion_count. Clearing it again depends
on iocg_kick_delay() running from the period timer, the waitq timer or
the issue path.
ioc_pd_free() removes the iocg from active_iocgs and cancels its waitq
timer, and no further bios can arrive, so once it has run nothing is
left which can reduce the debt and clear the delay. The blkcg stays
marked congested for the rest of its life.
blk_cgroup_congested() then returns true for every task in that cgroup
and its descendants: page_cache_sync_ra() cuts readahead to a single
page, page_cache_async_ra() skips it altogether, and
__folio_throttle_swaprate() takes swap_avail_lock and schedules a
throttle on anonymous folio allocation.
Clear it explicitly, after the list removal and the synchronous
hrtimer_cancel() so that neither timer processing nor an I/O path can
re-arm it. The free callback can also see policy data which was never
attached to a blkg, hence the pd->blkg check.

io.latency can throttle a group which has no latency target of its own.
When a sibling misses its target, check_scale_change() scales down its
peers, and a peer that reaches queue depth one gets blkcg_use_delay()
called on it on every further scale-down, even with min_lat_nsec == 0.
iolatency_pd_offline() resets the target through
iolatency_set_min_lat_nsec(), which clears the delay only on a nonzero
to zero transition, so it never clears such a peer. Freeing the policy
data then leaves blkg->use_delay set and blkcg->congestion_count
elevated with nothing left that can drop it.
blk_cgroup_congested() then returns true for every task in that cgroup
and its descendants for as long as the cgroup lives: page_cache_sync_ra()
cuts readahead to a single page, page_cache_async_ra() skips it
altogether, and __folio_throttle_swaprate() takes swap_avail_lock and
schedules a throttle on anonymous folio allocation.
Clear the delay in iolatency_pd_free(). By then bio-held blkg
references have drained, or the queue is frozen for policy
deactivation, so check_scale_change() cannot re-arm it. The free
callback can also see policy data which was never attached to a blkg,
hence the pd->blkg check.

The attribute store methods generated with NULLB_DEVICE_ATTR() refuse to
change the configuration of a live device by testing
NULLB_DEV_FL_CONFIGURED, but that flag is only set by
nullb_device_power_store() after null_add_dev() has returned, and the
store methods take no lock at all. configfs only serializes writes to
the same open file (buffer->mutex), so a write to any attribute can run
concurrently with null_add_dev() and change the device configuration
while it is being used.
null_add_dev() reads the configuration several times, e.g. dev->zoned is
read once to set up the queue limits and once to initialize the zone
resources:
CPU0: echo 1 > nullb0/power CPU1: echo 1 > nullb0/zoned
nullb_device_power_store()
mutex_lock(&lock)
null_add_dev()
if (dev->zoned) -> false
/* no BLK_FEAT_ZONED */ nullb_device_zoned_store()
test_bit(FL_CONFIGURED) -> 0
dev->zoned = true
blk_mq_alloc_disk()
/* queue is not zoned */
if (nullb->dev->zoned) -> true
null_register_zoned_dev()
blk_revalidate_disk_zones()
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is then called for a queue that does not
have BLK_FEAT_ZONED set, which triggers its WARN_ON_ONCE() and fails the
device setup with -EIO:
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 322 at block/blk-zoned.c:2357 blk_revalidate_disk_zones+0x4c/0x560
Clearing dev->zoned in the same window is worse: the queue is created
with BLK_FEAT_ZONED but the zone resources are never initialized, so
add_disk() succeeds for a zoned disk that has no zones. And a store that
lands after the last dev->zoned test leaves dev->zoned set while
dev->zones is still NULL, which null_process_zoned_cmd() dereferences on
the first write.
Fix this by taking the global lock, which nullb_device_power_store()
already holds across null_add_dev() and null_del_dev(), around both the
NULLB_DEV_FL_CONFIGURED test and the update of the device configuration.
The submit_queues and poll_queues apply callbacks are now called with
that lock held, so remove the locking they did themselves.
Since the store methods can run as soon as configfs_register_subsystem()
returns, that is, before null_init() gets to mutex_init(&lock), also
initialize the lock statically with DEFINE_MUTEX().

The _show callback in the NULLB_DEVICE_ATTR macro reads dev->NAME and the
_store path writes it. configfs does not serialize accesses across separate
open file descriptions (buffer->mutex is per-fd), and _show takes no lock,
so a concurrent read and write on the same attribute is a data race. The
_show readers also race against writes to these fields that run after the
configfs item becomes visible, e.g. in nullb_update_nr_hw_queues().
All of those writers now run under the file-scope lock: _store takes it
unconditionally, and the setup-side writers run under power_store() which
holds the same lock. The only remaining unsynchronized accesses are the
plain reads in _show. Rather than annotating every field with
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() across files, simply take the file-scope lock in
_show (and in power_show) as well. This closes the remaining _show-vs-write
data races with a single lock and keeps the writers as plain assignments.
configfs attribute access is not on the I/O hot path, so taking the mutex
in _show is acceptable from a performance standpoint. The dev fields
written in null_alloc_dev() and dev->power in nullb_group_drop_item() need
no locking: the former runs from .make_group before the item is published,
and the latter is serialized by configfs frag_sem/frag_dead against
attribute show/store.

The NULLB_DEVICE_ATTR _store takes no lock: apply_fn attributes
(submit_queues, poll_queues) get dev->NAME written again after apply_fn
returns, outside its lock; APPLY=NULL attributes are entirely lockless.
configfs only serializes stores per-open-file, so concurrent stores on
separate fds race.
For apply_fn attributes, once one store's apply_fn has reconfigured the
hardware, a second (losing) store can still overwrite dev->NAME
afterwards. This leaves dev->submit_queues out of sync with the live
queue count, which is later caught by the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
null_map_queues().
For !apply_fn attributes, power_store()'s null_add_dev() validates and
builds the device under "lock" but only sets CONFIGURED afterwards. A store
slipping in during this window can change a field mid-setup -- for example,
zone_nr_conv can be pushed above nr_zones after it has already been
clamped, leading to an out-of-bounds dev->zones[] access.
Take "lock" in the macro around the apply_fn call, the CONFIGURED test and
the field write, and move it out of nullb_apply_submit_queues()/
nullb_apply_poll_queues() so both paths are covered once. This serializes
stores with power_store's setup and with each other.

When shared_tags is enabled, null_setup_tagset() makes the device use the
global tag_set, whose driver_data stays NULL. null_map_queues() therefore
falls back to the module-wide g_submit_queues/g_poll_queues instead of any
per-device value.
Resizing submit_queues or poll_queues via configfs on such a device calls
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() on the shared set, shrinking
set->nr_hw_queues. __blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs() only grows the
q->queue_hw_ctx[] allocation, so on shrink it merely exits and NULLs the
now-excess hctx slots. null_map_queues(), however, keeps mapping CPUs with
the unchanged g_submit_queues/g_poll_queues, so mq_map[] ends up pointing
at those NULLed hctx slots. blk_mq_map_swqueue() then dereferences the NULL
hctx (hctx->cpumask), crashing the kernel:

null_init_zoned_dev() allocates dev->zones when a zoned device is powered
on, but null_del_dev() never frees it on power-off; dev->zones is only
freed later in null_free_dev(), when the configfs directory is removed. If
the device is powered off and then on again, null_init_zoned_dev()
allocates a new array and overwrites the dev->zones pointer, leaking the
previous allocation each power cycle.
Free dev->zones in null_del_dev() via null_free_zoned_dev() to solve it.
And calling null_free_zoned_dev() in null_free_dev() is no longer necessary
because every caller already invokes null_del_dev() first: via
nullb_group_drop_item() before nullb_device_release(), in the
null_add_dev() error path of null_create_dev(), and in null_destroy_dev().
Remove the redundant call.
And take &lock around zone_cond_store() in the two store wrappers to
serialize dev->zones check-and-deref against its alloc/free, which already
run under &lock. The reason there was no problem before is that only
nullb_device_release() or null_exit() frees the dev->zones, which
guarantees that subsequent users won't access the configfs interface.

If shared_tags is enabled, null_setup_tagset() allocates the global tag_set
via null_init_global_tag_set(). If device creation later fails, err_dev
destroys the default devices and calls unregister_blkdev(), but never frees
the global tag_set. Since module init failed, null_exit() is never invoked,
so the global tag_set's tags and maps are permanently leaked.
Free the global tag_set in err_dev, matching null_exit() which does
if (tag_set.ops) blk_mq_free_tag_set(&tag_set).

In null_exit(), unregister_blkdev() is called before the null_blk instances
are destroyed, which is inconsistent with the cleanup order in null_init().
Move it after null_destroy_dev() so that teardown happens in the reverse

Additionally, the err_dev path destroys all devices on nullb_list while
configfs is still registered. If a racing mkdir() + poweron puts a user
device on the list, null_destroy_dev()->null_free_dev() kfrees the user
device's nullb_device but /sys/kernel/config/nullb/<name> is still
reachable. Any userspace access to the item will trigger a UAF.
For simplicity, move configfs_register_subsystem() to the end to solve
the problems above.

io_req_local_work_add() signals the CQ ring eventfd inline when it is the
one to push the first entry onto ->work_list. For DEFER_TASKRUN rings that
add is frequently done from a waitqueue wakeup handler, where an
arbitrary waitqueue lock is held.
eventfd_signal_mask() only refuses to recurse when current->in_eventfd
is set, but that bit is set by eventfd_signal_mask() itself. If the wake
chain starts somewhere else, signal goes out inline and can feed back
into epoll.
Add IOU_F_TWQ_IN_WAKE, set it on the task_work add done from the three
waitqueue callbacks, and use it to force io_eventfd_signal() down the
existing call_rcu_hurry() deferral instead of signaling inline.

futex_hash_allocate() allocates mm->futex.phash.ref without any locking.
Commit d9b05321e2 ("futex: Move futex_hash_free() back to __mmput()")
moved the allocation here and assumed that the process has just a single
thread at this point.
Commit ee9dce4436 ("futex: Drop CLONE_THREAD requirement for private
default hash alloc") widened need_futex_hash_allocate_default() to cover
any CLONE_VM clone, but left out vfork because the parent is suspended and
cannot race.
That no longer holds once vfork is nested. If a vfork child calls vfork
again and is then killed with SIGKILL, the parent is released from its
vfork wait and runs concurrently with the grandchild in the same mm.
Neither of them went through futex_hash_allocate_default().
When both call prctl(PR_FUTEX_HASH, PR_FUTEX_HASH_SET_SLOTS) at the same
time, each one sees mm->futex.phash.ref as NULL and stores its own percpu
counter. Only the last store survives. The counter stored first is no
longer reachable from the mm, so the references on it are not seen by
__futex_ref_atomic_end(). A private hash that still has references is then
considered dead and freed, and a task that still holds one of its buckets
writes into freed memory in futex_q_lock().
Store the counter once with cmpxchg() and let the loser free_percpu() its
own. The initial reference has to be taken before the store, otherwise
another task can install a private hash while the counter is still 0.

The check for private futexes whether the waiter's mm, which is stored in
the futex_key and copied into the pi_state, is the same as the owner's mm
is not sufficient for exec(). exec() has a gap where the mm check fails to
give the correct answer:
exec()
...
exec_release_mm()
futex_exec_release()
tsk::futex::exit_state = EXITING;
cleanup_robust_list();
1) tsk::futex::exit_state = OK;
...
old_mm = tsk::mm;
2) tsk::mm = ->mm;
Between #1 and #2 the check for the mm is wrong as that mm is about to be
swapped out and eventually freed.
Plug this gap by:
1) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_DEAD in
futex_exec_release()
2) Setting tsk::futex::exit_state to FUTEX_STATE_OK after
the mm has been switched.
From a futex point of view the task is dead after it finished the robust
list cleanup up to the point where it sets the state to OK again.
