Bitmap offset is allowed to be negative, indicating that bitmap precedes
metadata. Change the type back from sector_t to loff_t to satisfy
conditionals and calculations.

Commit 7e55c60acfbb ("md/raid5: Pivot raid5_make_request()") changed the
order in which requests for underlying disks are created. Since for
large sequential IO adding of requests frequently races with md_raid5
thread submitting bios to underlying disks, this results in a change in
IO pattern because intermediate states of new order of request creation
result in more smaller discontiguous requests. For RAID5 on top of three
rotational disks our performance testing revealed this results in
regression in write throughput:

iozone -a -s 131072000 -y 4 -q 8 -i 0 -i 1 -R

before 7e55c60acfbb:
              KB  reclen   write rewrite    read    reread
       131072000       4  493670  525964   524575   513384
       131072000       8  540467  532880   512028   513703

after 7e55c60acfbb:
              KB  reclen   write rewrite    read    reread
       131072000       4  421785  456184   531278   509248
       131072000       8  459283  456354   528449   543834

To reduce the amount of discontiguous requests we can start generating
requests with the stripe with the lowest chunk offset as that has the
best chance of being adjacent to IO queued previously. This improves the
performance to:
              KB  reclen   write rewrite    read    reread
       131072000       4  497682  506317   518043   514559
       131072000       8  514048  501886   506453   504319

restoring big part of the regression.

Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain:
 "This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the
  rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which
  incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration
  process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been
  soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3.

  I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's
  feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves
  instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since
  when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end
  up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve
  saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring
  the end element being empty, and just have our registration process
  rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls
  would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and
  maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0].
  Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations
  also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use
  recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories.

  And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into
  this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are
  deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove
  them:

   - register_sysctl_table()
   - register_sysctl_paths()

  During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport
  register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of
  this merge window.

  Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this
  pull request goes with a few example of how to do this.

  As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of
  these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these
  changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot.

  The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it
  gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the
  generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes.

  Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths()
  does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport
  you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've
  just kept the stragglers after rc3"

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Split dm-bufio's rw_semaphore and rbtree. Offers improvements to
   dm-bufio's locking to allow increased concurrent IO -- particularly
   for read access for buffers already in dm-bufio's cache.

 - Also split dm-bio-prison-v1's spinlock and rbtree with comparable aim
   at improving concurrent IO (for the DM thinp target).

 - Both the dm-bufio and dm-bio-prison-v1 scaling of the number of locks
   and rbtrees used are managed by dm_num_hash_locks(). And the hash
   function used by both is dm_hash_locks_index().

 - Allow DM targets to require DISCARD, WRITE_ZEROES and SECURE_ERASE to
   be split at the target specified boundary (in terms of
   max_discard_sectors, max_write_zeroes_sectors and
   max_secure_erase_sectors respectively).

 - DM verity error handling fix for check_at_most_once on FEC.

 - Update DM verity target to emit audit events on verification failure
   and more.

 - DM core -&gt;io_hints improvements needed in support of new discard
   support that is added to the DM "zero" and "error" targets.

 - Fix missing kmem_cache_destroy() call in initialization error path of
   both the DM integrity and DM clone targets.

 - A couple fixes for DM flakey, also add "error_reads" feature.

 - Fix DM core's resume to not lock FS when the DM map is NULL;
   otherwise initial table load can race with FS mount that takes
   superblock's -&gt;s_umount rw_semaphore.

 - Various small improvements to both DM core and DM targets.

QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM is not set before we clear it for "null_blk",
"brd", "nbd", "zram", and "bcache" since by default we don't set
"QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM" to MQ ops.

Remove dead clear of QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in above listed drivers.

Commit fa247089de99 ("dm: requeue IO if mapping table not yet available")
added a detection of whether the mapping table is available in the IO
submission process. If the mapping table is unavailable, it returns
BLK_STS_RESOURCE and requeues the IO.
This can lead to the following deadlock problem:

dm create                                      mount
ioctl(DM_DEV_CREATE_CMD)
ioctl(DM_TABLE_LOAD_CMD)
                               do_mount
                                vfs_get_tree
                                 ext4_get_tree
                                  get_tree_bdev
                                   sget_fc
                                    alloc_super
                                     // got &amp;s-&gt;s_umount
                                     down_write_nested(&amp;s-&gt;s_umount, ...);
                                   ext4_fill_super
                                    ext4_load_super
                                     ext4_read_bh
                                      submit_bio
                                      // submit and wait io end
ioctl(DM_DEV_SUSPEND_CMD)
dev_suspend
 do_resume
  dm_suspend
   __dm_suspend
    lock_fs
     freeze_bdev
      get_active_super
       grab_super
        // wait for &amp;s-&gt;s_umount
        down_write(&amp;s-&gt;s_umount);
  dm_swap_table
   __bind
    // set md-&gt;map(can't get here)

IO will be continuously requeued while holding the lock since mapping
table is NULL. At the same time, mapping table won't be set since the
lock is not available.
Like request-based DM, bio-based DM also has the same problem.

It's not proper to just abort IO if the mapping table not available.
So clear DM_SKIP_LOCKFS_FLAG when the mapping table is NULL, this
allows the DM table to be loaded and the IO submitted upon resume.

<title>dm flakey: add an "error_reads" option</title>

dm-flakey returns error on reads if no other argument is specified.
This commit simplifies associated logic while formalizing an
"error_reads" argument and an ERROR_READS flag.

If no argument is specified, set ERROR_READS flag so that it behaves
just like before this commit.
