8824f62246 blk-mq: fail the request in case issue failure
Inside blk_mq_try_issue_list_directly(), if the request is issued as
failed, we shouldn't try to do it again, otherwise the warning in
blk_mq_start_request() will be triggered. This change is aligned to
behaviour of other ways of request issue & dispatch.

bdca3c87fb block: Track DISCARD statistics and output them in stat and diskstat
Add tracking of REQ_OP_DISCARD ios to the partition statistics and
append them to the various stat files in /sys as well as
/proc/diskstats.  These are tracked with the same four stats as reads
and writes:

Number of discard ios completed.
Number of discard ios merged
Number of discard sectors completed
Milliseconds spent on discard requests

This is done via adding a new STAT_DISCARD define to genhd.h and then
using it to index that stat field for discard requests.

ddcf35d397 block: Add and use op_stat_group() for indexing disk_stat fields.
Add and use a new op_stat_group() function for indexing partition stat
fields rather than indexing them by rq_data_dir() or bio_data_dir().
This function works similarly to op_is_sync() in that it takes the
request::cmd_flags or bio::bi_opf flags and determines which stats
should et updated.

In addition, the second parameter to generic_start_io_acct() and
generic_end_io_acct() is now a REQ_OP rather than simply a read or
write bit and it uses op_stat_group() on the parameter to determine
the stat group.

Note that the partition in_flight counts are not part of the per-cpu
statistics and as such are not indexed via this function.  It's now
indexed by op_is_write().

tj: Refreshed on top of v4.17.  Updated to pass around REQ_OP.

3f289dcb4b block: make bdev_ops->rw_page() take a REQ_OP instead of bool
c11f0c0b5b ("block/mm: make bdev_ops->rw_page() take a bool for
read/write") replaced @op with boolean @is_write, which limited the
amount of information going into ->rw_page() and more importantly
page_endio(), which removed the need to expose block internals to mm.

Unfortunately, we want to track discards separately and @is_write
isn't enough information.  This patch updates bdev_ops->rw_page() to
take REQ_OP instead but leaves page_endio() to take bool @is_write.
This allows the block part of operations to have enough information
while not leaking it to mm.

6ce3dd6eec blk-mq: issue directly if hw queue isn't busy in case of 'none'
In case of 'none' io scheduler, when hw queue isn't busy, it isn't
necessary to enqueue request to sw queue and dequeue it from
sw queue because request may be submitted to hw queue asap without
extra cost, meantime there shouldn't be much request in sw queue,
and we don't need to worry about effect on IO merge.

There are still some single hw queue SCSI HBAs(HPSA, megaraid_sas, ...)
which may connect high performance devices, so 'none' is often required
for obtaining good performance.

This patch improves IOPS and decreases CPU unilization on megaraid_sas,
per Kashyap's test.

71e9690b59 blk-iolatency: truncate our current time
In our longer tests we noticed that some boxes would degrade to the
point of uselessness.  This is because we truncate the current time when
saving it in our bio, but I was using the raw current time to subtract
from.  So once the box had been up a certain amount of time it would
appear as if our IO's were taking several years to complete.  Fix this
by truncating the current time so it matches the issue time.  Verified
this worked by running with this patch for a week on our test tier.

ffc03fb7a5 lightnvm: pblk: handle case when mw_cunits equals to 0
Some devices can expose mw_cunits equal to 0, it can cause the
creation of too small write buffer and cause performance to drop
on write workloads.

Additionally, write buffer size must cover write data requirements,
such as WS_MIN and MW_CUNITS - it must be greater than or equal to
the larger one multiplied by the number of PUs. However, for
performance reasons, use the WS_OPT value to calculation instead of
WS_MIN.

Because the place where buffer size is calculated was changed, this
patch also removes pgs_in_buffer filed in pblk structure.

28519c891c bsg: remove read/write support
The code poses a security risk due to user memory access in ->release
and had an API that can't be used reliably.  As far as we know it was
never used for real, but if that turns out wrong we'll have to revert
this commit and come up with a band aid.

Jann Horn did look software archives for users of this interface,
and the only users found were example code in sg3_utils, and optional
support in an optional module of the tgt user space iscsi target,
which looks like a proof of concept extension of the /dev/sg
read/write support.

Tony Battersby chimes in that the code is basically unsafe to use in
general:

  The read/write interface on /dev/bsg is impossible to use safely
  because the list of completed commands is per-device (bd->done_list)
  rather than per-fd like it is with /dev/sg.  So if program A and
  program B are both using the write/read interface on the same bsg
  device, then their command responses will get mixed up, and program
  A will read() some command results from program B and vice versa.
  So no, I don't use read/write on /dev/bsg.  From a security standpoint,
  it should definitely be fixed or removed.

d706751215 block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller
Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our
use case.  The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is
not work conserving.  This patch introduces io.latency.  You provide a
latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to
make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets.  This makes use of
the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff.  There are
a few differences from wbt

 - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to
   the actual io.
 - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to.
 - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window.  This is because writes can
   be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of
   other workloads on our protected workload.
 - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that
   we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to.  Only at
   throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth.
 - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial
   delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy
   workloads.

In testing this has worked out relatively well.  Protected workloads
will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing
normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if
they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO).

Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where
we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and
everything else in another group.  We see slightly higher requests per
second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable
RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier.

Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group.
Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box
to die and not recover at all.  With these patches we see slight RPS
drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and
things recover within seconds.

67b42d0bf7 rq-qos: introduce dio_bio callback
wbt cares only about request completion time, but controllers may need
information that is on the bio itself, so add a done_bio callback for
rq-qos so things like blk-iolatency can use it to have the bio when it
completes.

c1c80384c8 block: remove external dependency on wbt_flags
We don't really need to save this stuff in the core block code, we can
just pass the bio back into the helpers later on to derive the same
flags and update the rq->wbt_flags appropriately.

blkcg-qos is going to do essentially what wbt does, only on a cgroup
basis.  Break out the common code that will be shared between blkcg-qos
and wbt into blk-rq-qos.* so they can both utilize the same

2cf855837b memcontrol: schedule throttling if we are congested
Memory allocations can induce swapping via kswapd or direct reclaim.  If
we are having IO done for us by kswapd and don't actually go into direct
reclaim we may never get scheduled for throttling.  So instead check to
see if our cgroup is congested, and if so schedule the throttling.
Before we return to user space the throttling stuff will only throttle
if we actually required it.

d09d8df3a2 blkcg: add generic throttling mechanism
Since IO can be issued from literally anywhere it's almost impossible to
do throttling without having some sort of adverse effect somewhere else
in the system because of locking or other dependencies.  The best way to
solve this is to do the throttling when we know we aren't holding any
other kernel resources.  Do this by tracking throttling in a per-blkg
basis, and if we require throttling flag the task that it needs to check
before it returns to user space and possibly sleep there.

This is to address the case where a process is doing work that is
generating IO that can't be throttled, whether that is directly with a
lot of REQ_META IO, or indirectly by allocating so much memory that it
is swamping the disk with REQ_SWAP.  We can't use task_add_work as we
don't want to induce a memory allocation in the IO path, so simply
saving the request queue in the task and flagging it to do the
notify_resume thing achieves the same result without the overhead of a
memory allocation.

For backcharging we need to know who the page belongs to when swapping
it out.  We don't worry about things that do ->rw_page (zram etc) at the
moment, we're only worried about pages that actually go to a block
device.

0d1e0c7cd5 blk: introduce REQ_SWAP
Just like REQ_META, it's important to know the IO coming down is swap
in order to guard against potential IO priority inversion issues with
cgroups.  Add REQ_SWAP and use it for all swap IO, and add it to our
bio_issue_as_root_blkg helper.

903d23f0a3 blk-cgroup: allow controllers to output their own stats
blk-iolatency has a few stats that it would like to print out, and
instead of adding a bunch of crap to the generic code just provide a
helper so that controllers can add stuff to the stat line if they want
to.

Hide it behind a boot option since it changes the output of io.stat from
normal, and these stats are only interesting to developers.

c7c98fd376 block: introduce bio_issue_as_root_blkg
Instead of forcing all file systems to get the right context on their
bio's, simply check for REQ_META to see if we need to issue as the root
blkg.  We don't want to force all bio's to have the root blkg associated
with them if REQ_META is set, as some controllers (blk-iolatency) need
to know who the originating cgroup is so it can backcharge them for the
work they are doing.  This helper will make sure that the controllers do
the proper thing wrt the IO priority and backcharging.

08e18eab0c block: add bi_blkg to the bio for cgroups
Currently io.low uses a bi_cg_private to stash its private data for the
blkg, however other blkcg policies may want to use this as well.  Since
we can get the private data out of the blkg, move this to bi_blkg in the
bio and make it generic, then we can use bio_associate_blkg() to attach
the blkg to the bio.

Theoretically we could simply replace the bi_css with this since we can
get to all the same information from the blkg, however you have to
lookup the blkg, so for example wbc_init_bio() would have to lookup and
possibly allocate the blkg for the css it was trying to attach to the
bio.  This could be problematic and result in us either not attaching
the css at all to the bio, or falling back to the root blkcg if we are
unable to allocate the corresponding blkg.

So for now do this, and in the future if possible we could just replace
the bi_css with bi_blkg and update the helpers to do the correct
translation.

6e76871730 blk-mq: dequeue request one by one from sw queue if hctx is busy
It won't be efficient to dequeue request one by one from sw queue,
but we have to do that when queue is busy for better merge performance.

This patch takes the Exponential Weighted Moving Average(EWMA) to figure
out if queue is busy, then only dequeue request one by one from sw queue
when queue is busy.
