Merge tag 'for-7.1/block-20260411' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linuxPull block updates from Jens Axboe: - Add shared memory zero-copy I/O support for ublk, bypassing per-I/O copies between kernel and userspace by matching registered buffer PFNs at I/O time. Includes selftests. - Refactor bio integrity to support filesystem initiated integrity operations and arbitrary buffer alignment. - Clean up bio allocation, splitting bio_alloc_bioset() into clear fast and slow paths. Add bio_await() and bio_submit_or_kill() helpers, unify synchronous bi_end_io callbacks. - Fix zone write plug refcount handling and plug removal races. Add support for serializing zone writes at QD=1 for rotational zoned devices, yielding significant throughput improvements. - Add SED-OPAL ioctls for Single User Mode management and a STACK_RESET command. - Add io_uring passthrough (uring_cmd) support to the BSG layer. - Replace pp_buf in partition scanning with struct seq_buf. - zloop improvements and cleanups. - drbd genl cleanup, switching to pre_doit/post_doit. - NVMe pull request via Keith: - Fabrics authentication updates - Enhanced block queue limits support - Workqueue usage updates - A new write zeroes device quirk - Tagset cleanup fix for loop device - MD pull requests via Yu Kuai: - Fix raid5 soft lockup in retry_aligned_read() - Fix raid10 deadlock with check operation and nowait requests - Fix raid1 overlapping writes on writemostly disks - Fix sysfs deadlock on array_state=clear - Proactive RAID-5 parity building with llbitmap, with write_zeroes_unmap optimization for initial sync - Fix llbitmap barrier ordering, rdev skipping, and bitmap_ops version mismatch fallback - Fix bcache use-after-free and uninitialized closure - Validate raid5 journal metadata payload size - Various cleanups - Various other fixes, improvements, and cleanups* tag 'for-7.1/block-20260411' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/axboe/linux: (146 commits) ublk: fix tautological comparison warning in ublk_ctrl_reg_buf scsi: bsg: fix buffer overflow in scsi_bsg_uring_cmd() block: refactor blkdev_zone_mgmt_ioctl MAINTAINERS: update ublk driver maintainer email Documentation: ublk: address review comments for SHMEM_ZC docs ublk: allow buffer registration before device is started ublk: replace xarray with IDA for shmem buffer index allocation ublk: simplify PFN range loop in __ublk_ctrl_reg_buf ublk: verify all pages in multi-page bvec fall within registered range ublk: widen ublk_shmem_buf_reg.len to __u64 for 4GB buffer support xfs: use bio_await in xfs_zone_gc_reset_sync block: add a bio_submit_or_kill helper block: factor out a bio_await helper block: unify the synchronous bi_end_io callbacks xfs: fix number of GC bvecs selftests/ublk: add read-only buffer registration test selftests/ublk: add filesystem fio verify test for shmem_zc selftests/ublk: add hugetlbfs shmem_zc test for loop target selftests/ublk: add shared memory zero-copy test selftests/ublk: add UBLK_F_SHMEM_ZC support for loop target ...

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 01:48:44 +0100

block: partitions: Replace pp_buf with struct seq_bufIn preparation for removing the strlcat API[1], replace the char *pp_bufwith a struct seq_buf, which tracks the current write position andremaining space internally. This allows for:- Direct use of seq_buf_printf() in place of snprintf()+strlcat() pairs, eliminating local tmp buffers throughout.- Adjacent strlcat() calls that build strings piece-by-piece (e.g., strlcat("["); strlcat(name); strlcat("]")) to be collapsed into single seq_buf_printf() calls.- Simpler call sites: seq_buf_puts() takes only the buffer and string, with no need to pass PAGE_SIZE at every call.The backing buffer allocation is unchanged (__get_free_page), and theoutput path uses seq_buf_str() to NUL-terminate before passing toprintk().Link: https://github.com/KSPP/linux/issues/370 [1]Cc: Andy Shevchenko Cc: Josh Law Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Reviewed-by: Josh Law Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260321004840.work.670-kees@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe List of files: /linux/block/partitions/of.c

2e3a191e89f951b8cb3a7a0365d4d949cbf9599a - block: add support for partition table defined in OF

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 00:11:45 +0200

block: add support for partition table defined in OFAdd support for partition table defined in Device Tree. Similar to howit's done with MTD, add support for defining a fixed partition table indevice tree.A common scenario for this is fixed block (eMMC) embedded devices thathave no MBR or GPT partition table to save storage space. Bootloaderaccess the block device with absolute address of data.This is to complete the functionality with an equivalent implementationwith providing partition table with bootargs, for case where the booargscan't be modified and tweaking the Device Tree is the only solution tohave an usabe partition table.The implementation follow the fixed-partitions parser used on MTDdevices where a "partitions" node is expected to be declared with"fixed-partitions" compatible in the OF node of the disk device(mmc-card for eMMC for example) and each child node declare a labeland a reg with offset and size. If label is not declared, the node nameis used as fallback. Eventually is also possible to declare the read-onlyproperty to flag the partition as read-only.Signed-off-by: Christian Marangi Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20241002221306.4403-6-ansuelsmth@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe List of files: /linux/block/partitions/of.c
