cfq caches the associated cfqq's for a given cic. The cache needs to
be flushed if the cic's ioprio or blkcg has changed. It is currently
done by requiring the changing action to set the respective
ICQ_*_CHANGED bit in the icq and testing it from cfq_set_request(),
which involves iterating through all the affected icqs.
All cfq wants to know is whether ioprio and/or blkcg have changed
since the last flush and can be easily achieved by just remembering
the current ioprio and blkcg ID in cic.
This patch adds cic->{ioprio|blkcg_id}, updates all ioprio users to
use the remembered value instead, and updates cfq_set_request() path
such that, instead of using icq_get_changed(), the current values are
compared against the remembered ones and trigger appropriate flush
action if not. Condition tests are moved inside both _changed
functions which are now named check_ioprio_changed() and
check_blkcg_changed().
ioprio.h::task_ioprio*() can't be used anymore and replaced with
open-coded IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE case in cfq_async_queue_prio().

blkiocg_reset_stats() implements stat reset for blkio.reset_stats
cgroupfs file. This feature is very unconventional and something
which shouldn't have been merged. It's only useful when there's only
one user or tool looking at the stats. As soon as multiple users
and/or tools are involved, it becomes useless as resetting disrupts
other usages. There are very good reasons why all other stats expect
readers to read values at the start and end of a period and subtract
to determine delta over the period.
The implementation is rather complex - some fields shouldn't be
cleared and it saves some fields, resets whole and restores for some
reason. Reset of percpu stats is also racy. The comment points to
64bit store atomicity for the reason but even without that stores for
zero can simply race with other CPUs doing RMW and get clobbered.
Simplify reset by
* Clear selectively instead of resetting and restoring.
* Grouping debug stat fields to be reset and using memset() over them.

Current per cpu stat allocation assumes GFP_KERNEL allocation flag. But in
IO path there are times when we want GFP_NOIO semantics. As there is no
way to pass the allocation flags to alloc_percpu(), this patch delays the
allocation of stats using a worker thread.
v2-> tejun suggested following changes. Changed the patch accordingly.
- move alloc_node location in structure
- reduce the size of names of some of the fields
- Reduce the scope of locking of alloc_list_lock
- Simplified stat_alloc_fn() by allocating stats for all
policies in one go and then assigning these to a group.
v3 -> Andrew suggested to put some comments in the code. Also raised
concerns about trying to allocate infinitely in case of allocation
failure. I have changed the logic to sleep for 10ms before retrying.
That should take care of non-preemptible UP kernels.
v4 -> Tejun had more suggestions.
- drop list_for_each_entry_all()
- instead of msleep() use queue_delayed_work()
- Some cleanups realted to more compact coding.
v5-> tejun suggested more cleanups leading to more compact code.

- Minor comment update.
- This also fixes suspicious RCU usage warning caused by invoking
cgroup_path() from blkg_alloc() without holding RCU read lock.

IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context
and cgroup of %current. Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need
to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup
limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly.
For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a
delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task
which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block
cgroup. This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up
in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio
together impossible.
Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is
getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs). As both io_context and
cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to
manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios.
This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the
specified bio with %current. The bio will record the associated ioc
and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones
regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio. bio
release puts the associated ioc and blkcg.
It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself
because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making
ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about.
elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being
allocated for is available to the elevator.
This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet. Further patches will
implement the support.

blkgs are chained from both blkcgs and request_queues and thus
subjected to two locks - blkcg->lock and q->queue_lock. As both blkcg
and q can go away anytime, locking during removal is tricky. It's
currently solved by wrapping removal inside RCU, which makes the
synchronization complex. There are three locks to worry about - the
outer RCU, q lock and blkcg lock, and it leads to nasty subtle
complications like conditional synchronize_rcu() on queue exit paths.
For all other paths, blkcg lock is naturally nested inside q lock and
the only exception is blkcg removal path, which is a very cold path
and can be implemented as clumsy but conceptually-simple reverse
double lock dancing.
This patch updates blkg removal path such that blkgs are removed while
holding both q and blkcg locks, which is trivial for request queue
exit path - blkg_destroy_all(). The blkcg removal path,
blkiocg_pre_destroy(), implements reverse double lock dancing
essentially identical to ioc_release_fn().
This simplifies blkg locking - no half-dead blkgs to worry about. Now
unnecessary RCU annotations will be removed by the next patch.

Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination. This is
unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used
duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management
of blkgs.
This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all
policies. blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper.
This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into
blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering.
As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and
policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot
down during elvswitch and bypass. This patch adds blkg_root_update()
to update root blkg in place on policy change. This is hacky and racy
but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking
simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs.

Both pointed out by Vivek.

cfq_exit_queue(). This also is closer to what will be done with

blkg->dev is dev_t recording the device number of the block device for

This is redundant to begin with. A blkg is an association between a
cgroup and a request_queue and it of course is possible to reach
request_queue from blkg and synchronization conventions are in place
for safe q dereferencing, so this shouldn't be necessary from the
beginning. Furthermore, it's initialized by sscanf()ing the device
name of backing_dev_info. The mind boggles.
Anyways, if blkg is visible under rcu lock, we *know* that the
associated request_queue hasn't gone away yet and its bdi is
registered and alive - blkg can't be created for request_queue which
hasn't been fully initialized and it can't go away before blkg is

blkcg is very peculiar in that it allows setting and remembering
configurations for non-existent devices by maintaining separate data
structures for configuration.
This behavior is completely out of the usual norms and outright
confusing; furthermore, it uses dev_t number to match the
configuration to devices, which is unpredictable to begin with and
becomes completely unuseable if EXT_DEVT is fully used.
It is wholely unnecessary - we already have fully functional userland
mechanism to program devices being hotplugged which has full access to
device identification, connection topology and filesystem information.
Add a new struct blkio_group_conf which contains all blkcg
configurations to blkio_group and let blkio_group, which can be
created iff the associated device exists and is removed when the
associated device goes away, carry all configurations.
Note that, after this patch, all newly created blkg's will always have
the default configuration (unlimited for throttling and blkcg's weight
for propio).

intiailizes it. Note that initialization of blkg proper, including
percpu stats, is responsibility of blk-cgroup proper.
Note that default config (weight, bps...) initialization is done
from this method; otherwise, we end up violating locking order
between blkcg and q locks via blkcg_get_CONF() functions.
* blkio_link_group_fn() is called under queue_lock and responsible for
linking the blkg to the queue. blkcg side is handled by blk-cgroup
proper.
* The common blkg creation function is named blkg_lookup_create() and
blkiocg_lookup_group() is renamed to blkg_lookup() for consistency.

This patch temporarily restricts one policy per plid and adds
blkio_policy[] array which indexes registered policy types by plid.
Both the restriction and blkio_policy[] array are transitional and
will be removed once API cleanup is complete.

blkgio_group is association between a block cgroup and a queue for a

Elevator switch may involve changes to blkcg policies. Implement
shoot down of blkio_groups.
Combined with the previous bypass updates, the end goal is updating
blkcg core such that it can ensure that blkcg's being affected become
quiescent and don't have any per-blkg data hanging around before
commencing any policy updates. Until queues are made aware of the
policies that applies to them, as an interim step, all per-policy blkg
data will be shot down.
* blk-throtl doesn't need this change as it can't be disabled for a
live queue; however, update it anyway as the scheduled blkg
unification requires this behavior change. This means that
blk-throtl configuration will be unnecessarily lost over elevator
switch. This oddity will be removed after blkcg learns to associate
individual policies with request_queues.
* blk-throtl dosen't shoot down root_tg. This is to ease transition.
Unified blkg will always have persistent root group and not shooting
down root_tg for now eases transition to that point by avoiding
having to update td->root_tg and is safe as blk-throtl can never be
disabled
-v2: Vivek pointed out that group list is not guaranteed to be empty
on return from clear function if it raced cgroup removal and
lost. Fix it by waiting a bit and retrying. This kludge will
soon be removed once locking is updated such that blkg is never
in limbo state between blkcg and request_queue locks.
blk-throtl no longer shoots down root_tg to avoid breaking
td->root_tg.
Also, Nest queue_lock inside blkio_list_lock not the other way
around to avoid introduce possible deadlock via blkcg lock.
-v3: blkcg_clear_queue() repositioned and renamed to
blkg_destroy_all() to increase consistency with later changes.
cfq_clear_queue() updated to check q->elevator before
dereferencing it to avoid NULL dereference on not fully
initialized queues (used by later change).

Elevator switch tries hard to keep as much as context until new
elevator is ready so that it can revert to the original state if
initializing the new elevator fails for some reason. Unfortunately,
with more auxiliary contexts to manage, this makes elevator init and
exit paths too complex and fragile.
This patch makes elevator_switch() unregister the current elevator and
flush icq's before start initializing the new one. As we still keep
the old elevator itself, the only difference is that we lose icq's on
rare occassions of switching failure, which isn't critical at all.
Note that this makes explicit elevator parameter to
elevator_init_queue() and __elv_register_queue() unnecessary as they
always can use the current elevator.
This patch enables block cgroup cleanups.

Block cgroup core can be built as module; however, it isn't too useful

This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events
polling. The polling is done by a work routine queued on the
system_nrt_wq workqueue. Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the
polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition.
Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't
a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can
lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.
The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant,
freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

Extended VBLKs (those larger than the preset VBLK size) are divided
into fragments, each with its own VBLK header. Our LDM implementation
generally assumes that each VBLK is contiguous in memory, so these
fragments must be assembled before further processing.
Currently the reassembly seems to be done quite wrongly - no VBLK
header is copied into the contiguous buffer, and the length of the
header is subtracted twice from each fragment. Also the total
length of the reassembled VBLK is calculated incorrectly.

While updating locking, b2efa05265 "block, cfq: unlink
cfq_io_context's immediately" moved elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation
from exit_io_context() to the final ioc put. While this doesn't cause
catastrophic failure, it effectively removes task exit notification to
elevator and cause noticeable IO performance degradation with CFQ.
On task exit, CFQ used to immediately expire the slice if it was being
used by the exiting task as no more IO would be issued by the task;
however, after b2efa05265, the notification is lost and disk could sit
idle needlessly, leading to noticeable IO performance degradation for
certain workloads.
This patch renames ioc_exit_icq() to ioc_destroy_icq(), separates
elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation into ioc_exit_icq() and invokes it
from exit_io_context(). ICQ_EXITED flag is added to avoid invoking
the callback more than once for the same icq.
Walking icq_list from ioc side and invoking elevator callback requires
reverse double locking. This may be better implemented using RCU;
unfortunately, using RCU isn't trivial. e.g. RCU protection would
need to cover request_queue and queue_lock switch on cleanup makes
grabbing queue_lock from RCU unsafe. Reverse double locking should
do, at least for now.

Plug merge calls two elevator callbacks outside queue lock -
elevator_allow_merge_fn() and elevator_bio_merged_fn(). Although
attempt_plug_merge() suggests that elevator is guaranteed to be there
through the existing request on the plug list, nothing prevents plug
merge from calling into dying or initializing elevator.
For regular merges, bypass ensures elvpriv count to reach zero, which
in turn prevents merges as all !ELVPRIV requests get REQ_SOFTBARRIER
from forced back insertion. Plug merge doesn't check ELVPRIV, and, as
the requests haven't gone through elevator insertion yet, it doesn't
have SOFTBARRIER set allowing merges on a bypassed queue.
This, for example, leads to the following crash during elevator
switch.

There are multiple ways to fix this including making plug merge check
ELVPRIV; however,
* Calling into elevator outside queue lock is confusing and
error-prone.
* Requests on plug list aren't known to the elevator. They aren't on
the elevator yet, so there's no elevator specific state to update.
* Given the nature of plug merges - collecting bio's for the same
purpose from the same issuer - elevator specific restrictions aren't
applicable.
So, simply don't call into elevator methods from plug merge by moving
elv_bio_merged() from bio_attempt_*_merge() to blk_queue_bio(), and
using blk_try_merge() in attempt_plug_merge().
This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from
plug merge.
Note that this makes per-cgroup merged stats skip plug merging.

test. blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the

elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls
elv_iosched_allow_merge(). elv_try_merge() is removed and the two
callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by
blk_try_merge(). While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return

put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because
trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
preemption count.
While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which
are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion
thread can be applied later.

The argument is not used at all, and it's not necessary, because
a specific callback handler of course knows which subsys it
belongs to.
Now only ->pupulate() takes this argument, because the handlers of
this callback always call cgroup_add_file()/cgroup_add_files().
So we reduce a few lines of code, though the shrinking of object size
is minimal.

Linux allows executing the SG_IO ioctl on a partition or LVM volume, and
will pass the command to the underlying block device. This is
well-known, but it is also a large security problem when (via Unix
permissions, ACLs, SELinux or a combination thereof) a program or user
needs to be granted access only to part of the disk.
This patch lets partitions forward a small set of harmless ioctls;
others are logged with printk so that we can see which ioctls are
actually sent. In my tests only CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY actually occurred.
Of course it was being sent to a (partition on a) hard disk, so it would
have failed with ENOTTY and the patch isn't changing anything in
practice. Still, I'm treating it specially to avoid spamming the logs.
In principle, this restriction should include programs running with
CAP_SYS_RAWIO. If for example I let a program access /dev/sda2 and
/dev/sdb, it still should not be able to read/write outside the
boundaries of /dev/sda2 independent of the capabilities. However, for
now programs with CAP_SYS_RAWIO will still be allowed to send the
ioctls. Their actions will still be logged.
This patch does not affect the non-libata IDE driver. That driver
however already tests for bd != bd->bd_contains before issuing some
ioctl; it could be restricted further to forbid these ioctls even for
programs running with CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_RAWIO.

Stacking driver queue limits are typically bounded exclusively by the
capabilities of the low level devices, not by the stacking driver
itself.
This patch introduces blk_set_stacking_limits() which has more liberal
metrics than the default queue limits function. This allows us to
inherit topology parameters from bottom devices without manually
tweaking the default limits in each driver prior to calling the stacking
function.
Since there is now a clear distinction between stacking and low-level
devices, blk_set_default_limits() has been modified to carry the more
conservative values that we used to manually set in
blk_queue_make_request().

We're doing some odd things there, which already messes up various users
(see the net/socket.c code that this removes), and it was going to add
yet more crud to the block layer because of the incorrect error code
translation.
ENOIOCTLCMD is not an error return that should be returned to user mode
from the "ioctl()" system call, but it should *not* be translated as
EINVAL ("Invalid argument"). It should be translated as ENOTTY
("Inappropriate ioctl for device").
That EINVAL confusion has apparently so permeated some code that the
block layer actually checks for it, which is sad. We continue to do so
for now, but add a big comment about how wrong that is, and we should
remove it entirely eventually. In the meantime, this tries to keep the
changes localized to just the EINVAL -> ENOTTY fix, and removing code
that makes it harder to do the right thing.

Commit 5e081591 "block: warn if tag is greater than real_max_depth"
cleaned up blk_queue_end_tag() to warn when the tag is truly invalid
(greater than real_max_depth). However, it changed behavior in the tag <
max_depth case to not end the request. Leading to triggering of
BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq)) in the request completion path:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=132204370518629&w=2
In order to allow blk_queue_resize_tags() to shrink the tag space
blk_queue_end_tag() must always complete tags with a value less than
real_max_depth regardless of the current max_depth. The comment about
"handling the shrink case" seems to be what prompted changes in this
space, so remove it and BUG on all invalid tags (made even simpler by
Matthew's suggestion to use an unsigned compare).

While fixing io_context creation / task exit race condition,
6e736be7f2 "block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and
fix race on alloction" also prevented an exiting (%PF_EXITING) task
from creating its own io_context. This is incorrect as exit path may
issue IOs, e.g. from exit_files(), and if those IOs are the first ones
issued by the task, io_context needs to be created to process the IOs.
Combined with the existing problem of io_context / io_cq creation
failure having the possibility of stalling IO, this problem results in
deterministic full IO lockup with certain workloads.
Fix it by allowing io_context creation regardless of %PF_EXITING for
%current.

Now block layer knows everything necessary to create and associate
icq's with requests. Move ioc_create_icq() to blk-ioc.c and update
get_request() such that, if elevator_type->icq_size is set, requests
are automatically associated with their matching icq's before
elv_set_request(). io_context reference is also managed by block core
on request alloc/free.
* Only ioprio/cgroup changed handling remains from cfq_get_cic().
Collapsed into cfq_set_request().
* This removes queue kicking on icq allocation failure (for now). As
icq allocation failure is rare and the only effect of queue kicking
achieved was possibily accelerating queue processing, this change
shouldn't be noticeable.
There is a larger underlying problem. Unlike request allocation,
icq allocation is not guaranteed to succeed eventually after
retries. The number of icq is unbound and thus mempool can't be the
solution either. This effectively adds allocation dependency on
memory free path and thus possibility of deadlock.
This usually wouldn't happen because icq allocation is not a hot
path and, even when the condition triggers, it's highly unlikely
that none of the writeback workers already has icq.
However, this is still possible especially if elevator is being
switched under high memory pressure, so we better get it fixed.
Probably the only solution is just bypassing elevator and appending
to dispatch queue on any elevator allocation failure.
* Comment added to explain how icq's are managed and synchronized.
This completes cleanup of io_context interface.

Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and

Currently io_context and cfq logics are mixed without clear boundary.

cfq_io_context represents association between an io_context and a

contains fields which are useful only to cfq.
This patch takes out generic part and put it into io_cq (io
context-queue) and the rest into cfq_io_cq (cic moniker remains the
same) which contains io_cq. The following changes are made together.
* cfq_ttime and cfq_io_cq now live in cfq-iosched.c.

When called under queue_lock, current_io_context() triggers lockdep
warning if it hits allocation path. This is because io_context

cic is association between io_context and request_queue. A cic is
linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one
goes away. As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a
bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the
other.
Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU.
ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are
also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without
grabbing lock.
This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely
fragile convolution. e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too

The only real hot path here is cic lookup during request
initialization and avoiding extra locking requires very confined use
of RCU. This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue
perform double-locking and unlink immediately.
* From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside
queue_lock. It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks
cic_list and unlink it.
* From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock
order. ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the
matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing.
Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is
optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is
by far the most common case. If the ioc accessed multiple devices,
it tries with trylock. In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it
falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue.
Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far*
simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any
meaningful overhead.
This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics. Future patches
will trim them.

* cfq_cic_lookup() may be called without queue_lock and multiple tasks
can execute it simultaneously for the same shared ioc. Nothing
prevents them racing each other and trying to drop the same dead cic
entry multiple times.
* smp_wmb() in cfq_exit_cic() doesn't really do anything and nothing
prevents cfq_cic_lookup() seeing stale cic->key. This usually
doesn't blow up because by the time cic is exited, all requests have
been drained and new requests are terminated before going through
elevator. However, it can still be triggered by plug merge path
which doesn't grab queue_lock and thus can't check DEAD state
reliably.
This patch updates lookup locking such that,
* Lookup is always performed under queue_lock. This doesn't add any
more locking. The only issue is cfq_allow_merge() which can be
called from plug merge path without holding any lock. For now, this
is worked around by using cic of the request to merge into, which is
guaranteed to have the same ioc. For longer term, I think it would
be best to separate out plug merge method from regular one.
* Spurious ioc->lock locking around cic lookup hint assignment
dropped.

cfq_get_io_context() would fail if multiple tasks race to insert cic's
for the same association. This patch restructures
cfq_get_io_context() such that slow path insertion race is handled
properly.
Note that the restructuring also makes cfq_get_io_context() called
under queue_lock and performs both ioc and cfqd insertions while
holding both ioc and queue locks. This is part of on-going locking
tightening and will be used to simplify synchronization rules.

ioprio/cgroup change was handled by marking the changed state in ioc
and, on the following access to the ioc, performing RCU-protected
iteration through all cic's grabbing the matching queue_lock.
This patch moves the changed state to each cic. When ioprio or cgroup
changes, the respective bit is set on all cic's of the ioc and when
each of those cic (not ioc) is accessed, change is applied for that
specific ioc-queue pair.
This also fixes the following two race conditions between setting and
clearing of changed states.
* Missing barrier between assign/load of ioprio and ioprio_changed
allowed applying old ioprio.
* Change requests could happen between application of change and
clearing of changed variables.

Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two
places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio(). The former is
always called from local task while the latter can be called from
different task. The synchornization between them are peculiar and
dubious.
* current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it
saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and
assignment is complete. It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and
assignment.
* set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does
smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if
(ioc)". Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter
is not a dependent load of the former. ie, if ioc itself were being
dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho)
but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is
noop.
As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock()
protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two.
Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating
its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's.
Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new
ioc after exit_io_context() is finished.
ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex. The only hot path
is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve
given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is
alive. All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all
other task sub structures without impacting anything.
This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional.
* alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context(). This is
the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task.
On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which
should be put using put_io_context() afterwards.
* The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when
creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with
get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock().
* get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the
caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit
%current one).
* PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once
exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc
acquisition functions return %NULL.
* All users are updated. Most are trivial but
smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a
bit of explanation. I suppose the original intention was to ensure
ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new
io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked
because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install.
There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another
patch.
* While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node
specification.

cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc
issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST
sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps:
step 1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step 2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not
linked with a cic for the device
step 3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in
cfq_alloc_io_context()
step 4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step 5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the
same ioc
step 6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in
cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a
cic for the device yet
step 7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
step 8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it
step 9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel
message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7.
step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait()
The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the
device.
When cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST, it means ioc has already linked with cic.
So when cfq_cic_link() return -EEXIST, retry cfq_cic_lookup().

This reverts commit a72c5e5eb7.
The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be
used during logging although actual usage hasn't been committed yet.
This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to
follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot
of problems.
It is much worse than netif renames because it doesn't rename the
actual device but just adds conveninence name which isn't used
universally or enforced. Everything internal including device lookup
and sysfs still uses the internal name and nothing prevents two
devices from using conflicting alias - ie. sda can have sdb as its
alias.
This has been nacked by people working on device driver core, block
layer and kernel-userland interface and shouldn't have been
upstreamed. Revert it.

This is because bdev holds on to disk but disk doesn't pin the
associated queue. If a SCSI device is removed while the device is
still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release.
When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already
gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up
dereferencing already freed bdi.
Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated
queue is very unusual and error-prone.
Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and
put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are
put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are
complete.

A dm-multipath user reported[1] a problem when trying to boot
a kernel with commit 4853abaae7
(block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring
flush flags) applied. It turns out that an empty flush request
can be sent into blk_insert_flush. When the BUG_ON was fixed
to allow for this, I/O on the underlying device would stall. The
reason is that blk_insert_cloned_request does not kick the queue.
In the aforementioned commit, I had added a special case to
kick the queue if data was sent down but the queue flags did
not require a flush. A better solution is to push the queue
kick up into blk_insert_cloned_request.
This patch, along with a follow-on which fixes the BUG_ON, fixes
the issue reported.

A user reported a regression due to commit
4853abaae7 (block: fix flush
machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags).
Part of the problem is that blk_insert_flush required a
single bio be attached to the request. In reality, having
no attached bio is also a valid case, as can be observed with
an empty flush.

bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but
it is broken.
Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the
discussions lately pretty obviously broken. The only thing keeping
it serves is creating more confusion and possibly more bugs."
And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine
with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the
only ones that can toggle the setting anyway".
So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu
from a bio.

request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime
management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer
expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no
new one will.
This is fundamentally broken. The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer)
doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before
calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any
guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a
reference.
With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the
following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with
in-flight IOs.

This happens because blk_queue_cleanup() destroys the queue and
elevator whether IOs are in progress or not and DEAD tests are
sprinkled in the request processing path without proper
synchronization.
Similar problem exists for blk-throtl. On queue cleanup, blk-throtl
is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not. Depending on
timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks
which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state.
The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between
shutdown and release. Shutdown drains all currently pending requests,
marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now
unnecessary part of the queue. Even after shutdown is complete,
reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue
although they will be immmediately failed. The rest of teardown
happens on release.
This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup()
behave as proper shutdown.
* QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and
queue_lock.
* Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed.
This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die
after the check.
* blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is
now called during cleanup.
* blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock,
drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is
released.

attempt_plug_merge() accesses elevator without holding queue_lock and

be valid because it's accessed iff the plugged list has requests and
elevator is never exited with live requests, so as long as the

blk_throtl_bio() and throtl_get_tg() have rather unusual interface.
* throtl_get_tg() returns pointer to a valid tg or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV),
and drops queue_lock in the latter case. Different locking context
depending on return value is error-prone and DEAD state is scheduled
to be protected by queue_lock anyway. Move DEAD check inside
queue_lock and return valid tg or NULL.
* blk_throtl_bio() indicates return status both with its return value
and in/out param **@bio. The former is used to indicate whether
queue is found to be dead during throtl processing. The latter
whether the bio is throttled.
There's no point in returning DEAD check result from
blk_throtl_bio(). The queue can die after blk_throtl_bio() is
finished but before make_request_fn() grabs queue lock.
Make it take *@bio instead and return boolean result indicating
whether the request is throttled or not.

blk_get/put_queue() in scsi_cmd_ioctl() and throtl_get_tg() are
completely bogus. The caller must have a reference to the queue on
entry and taking an extra reference doesn't change anything.
For scsi_cmd_ioctl(), the only effect is that it ends up checking
QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD on entry; however, this is bogus as queue can die
right after blk_get_queue(). Dead queue should be and is handled in
request issue path (it's somewhat broken now but that's a separate
problem and doesn't affect this one much).
throtl_get_tg() incorrectly assumes that q is rcu freed. Also, it
doesn't check return value of blk_get_queue(). If the queue is
already dead, it ends up doing an extra put.
Drop them.

A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is
physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up
some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for
in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the
destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining
references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any
externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free
up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(),

Example:

Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can

such behavior).
This patch adds GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which suppresses partition scan
regardless of the number of possible partitions. disk_partitionable()
is renamed to disk_part_scan_enabled() as suppressing partition scan
doesn't imply the device can't be partitioned using
BLKPG_ADD/DEL_PARTITION calls from userland. show_partition() now
directly tests disk_max_parts() to maintain backward-compatibility.

Commit ae1b153962, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA). The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:
static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
struct request *rq;
while (1) {
- while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+ if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
- if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
- (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
- return rq;
- rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
- if (rq)
- return rq;
+ return rq;
}
Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:
struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
REQ_FUA);
unsigned skip = 0;
...
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
if (!has_fua)
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
return rq;
}
So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).
Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.
The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.
In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.
I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.

This patch reverts commit 35ae66e0a09ab70ed(block: Make rq_affinity = 1
work as expected). The purpose is to avoid an unnecessary IPI.
Let's take an example. My test box has cpu 0-7, one socket. Say request is
added from CPU 1, blk_complete_request() occurs at CPU 7. Without the reverted
patch, softirq will be done at CPU 7. With it, an IPI will be directed to CPU
0, and softirq will be done at CPU 0. In this case, doing softirq at CPU 0 and
CPU 7 have no difference from cache sharing point view and we can avoid an
ipi if doing it in CPU 7.
An immediate concern is this is just like QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, but actually
not. blk_complete_request() is running in interrupt handler, and currently
I/O controller doesn't support multiple interrupts (I checked several LSI
cards and AHCI), so only one CPU can run blk_complete_request(). This is
still quite different as QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE.
Since only one CPU runs softirq, the only difference with below patch is
softirq not always runs at the first CPU of a group.

blk_insert_flush has the following check:
/*
* If there's data but flush is not necessary, the request can be
* processed directly without going through flush machinery. Queue
* for normal execution.
*/
if ((policy & REQ_FSEQ_DATA) &&
!(policy & (REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH))) {
list_add_tail(&rq->queuelist, &q->queue_head);
return;
}
However, blk_flush_policy will not return with policy set to only
REQ_FSEQ_DATA:
static unsigned int blk_flush_policy(unsigned int fflags, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int policy = 0;
if (fflags & REQ_FLUSH) {
if (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH)
policy |= REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH;
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq))
policy |= REQ_FSEQ_DATA;
if (!(fflags & REQ_FUA) && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA))
policy |= REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH;
}
return policy;
}
Notice that REQ_FSEQ_DATA is only set if REQ_FLUSH is set. Fix this
mismatch by moving the setting of REQ_FSEQ_DATA outside of the REQ_FLUSH
check.
Tejun notes:
Hmmm... yes, this can become a correctness issue if (and only if)
blk_queue_flush() is called to change q->flush_flags while requests
are in-flight; otherwise, requests wouldn't reach the function at all.
Also, I think it would be a generally good idea to always set
FSEQ_DATA if the request has data.

Commit 5757a6d76c introduced a new rq_affinity = 2 so as to make
the request completed in the __make_request cpu. But it makes the
old rq_affinity = 1 not work any more. The root cause is that
if the 'cpu' and 'req->cpu' is in the same group and cpu != req->cpu,
ccpu will be the same as group_cpu, so the completion will be
excuted in the 'cpu' not 'group_cpu'.
This patch fix problem by simpling removing group_cpu and the codes
are more explicit now. If ccpu == cpu, we complete in cpu, otherwise
we raise_blk_irq to ccpu.

init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.
Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.
The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.
init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
init_fault_attr_dentries().

Remove the (unsigned long long) cast in diskstats_show() and adjusts the

diskstats_show() uses part_stat_read() to get the stats, which either
accesses the specified field in the struct disk_stats directly (non SMP)
or sums up the per CPU values in a variable of the same type as the field,
so in any case the result will have the same type and range as the
specified field which for all disk_stats entries is unsigned long
Also, for unsigned long ranges the output of %lu should be identical to
the one of %llu, so no change in the actual proc entry contents.

FQ keeps track of number of groups which are linked on blkcg->blkg_list.
This is useful to avoid races between queue exit and cgroup exit code
paths. So if at the request queue exit time linked group count is not
zero, that means there are some group out there which is yet to be
deleted under rcu read period and queue exit code should wait for
on rcu period.
In my previous patch I forgot to decrease the number of group count.
So in current form, we nr_blkcg_linked_grps is always non-zero and
we will always wait one rcu period (if BLK_CGROUP=y). The side effect
of this is that it can increase boot time. I am surprised, nobody
complained so far.

Some systems benefit from completions always being steered to the strict

blk_cpu_to_group() attempts by default. This is because the first
CPU in the group mask ends up being completely overloaded with work,
while the others (including the original submitter) has power left
to spare.
Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control
file. This is identical to the scheme used for the nomerges file,
where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on.

USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in
scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is
hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper
device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD
followed by attempted unmount.
The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of
the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long
gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the
same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the
upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the
current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be
sent to a dead queue.

When I test fio script with big I/O depth, I found the total throughput drops
compared to some relative small I/O depth. The reason is the thread accumulates
big requests in its plug list and causes some delays (surely this depends
on CPU speed).
I thought we'd better have a threshold for requests. When a threshold reaches,
this means there is no request merge and queue lock contention isn't severe
when pushing per-task requests to queue, so the main advantages of blk plug
don't exist. We can force a plug list flush in this case.
With this, my test throughput actually increases and almost equals to small
I/O depth. Another side effect is irq off time decreases in blk_flush_plug_list()
for big I/O depth.

reduce lock contention to me. But I'm open here, 32 is ok in my test too.

Due to the recently identified overflow in read_capacity_16() it was
possible for max_discard_sectors to be zero but still have discards
enabled on the associated device's queue.
Eliminate the possibility for blkdev_issue_discard to infinitely loop.
Interestingly this issue wasn't identified until a device, whose
discard_granularity was 0 due to read_capacity_16 overflow, was consumed
by blk_stack_limits() to construct limits for a higher-level DM
multipath device. The multipath device's resulting limits never had the
discard limits stacked because blk_stack_limits() will only do so if
the bottom device's discard_granularity != 0. This resulted in the
multipath device's limits.max_discard_sectors being 0.

Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point. It has
two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating
that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states
and proceed to generate more events. Secondly, it's passed on to
device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has
been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device.
The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different
mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY
to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be
used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage. Among other
things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can.
This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for
MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers. disk_check_events() is renamed to
disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush
which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the
next ->check_events() invocation.
This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from
userland - e.g. with eject(1).
Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly
complex. disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint
can be boolean @flush.
