One hard problem adding .low limit is to detect idle cgroup. If one
cgroup doesn't dispatch enough IO against its low limit, we must have a
mechanism to determine if other cgroups dispatch more IO. We added the
think time detection mechanism before, but it doesn't work for all
workloads. Here we add a latency based approach.
We already have mechanism to calculate latency threshold for each IO
size. For every IO dispatched from a cgorup, we compare its latency
against its threshold and record the info. If most IO latency is below
threshold (in the code I use 75%), the cgroup could be treated idle and
other cgroups can dispatch more IO.
Currently this latency target check is only for SSD as we can't
calcualte the latency target for hard disk. And this is only for cgroup
leaf node so far.

User configures latency target, but the latency threshold for each
request size isn't fixed. For a SSD, the IO latency highly depends on
request size. To calculate latency threshold, we sample some data, eg,
average latency for request size 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k .. 1M. The latency
threshold of each request size will be the sample latency (I'll call it
base latency) plus latency target. For example, the base latency for
request size 4k is 80us and user configures latency target 60us. The 4k
latency threshold will be 80 + 60 = 140us.
To sample data, we calculate the order base 2 of rounded up IO sectors.
If the IO size is bigger than 1M, it will be accounted as 1M. Since the
calculation does round up, the base latency will be slightly smaller
than actual value. Also if there isn't any IO dispatched for a specific
IO size, we will use the base latency of smaller IO size for this IO
size.
But we shouldn't sample data at any time. The base latency is supposed
to be latency where disk isn't congested, because we use latency
threshold to schedule IOs between cgroups. If disk is congested, the
latency is higher, using it for scheduling is meaningless. Hence we only
do the sampling when block throttling is in the LOW limit, with
assumption disk isn't congested in such state. If the assumption isn't
true, eg, low limit is too high, calculated latency threshold will be
higher.
Hard disk is completely different. Latency depends on spindle seek
instead of request size. Currently this feature is SSD only, we probably
can use a fixed threshold like 4ms for hard disk though.

Currently there is no way to know the request size when the request is
finished. Next patch will need this info. We could add extra field to

Here we introduce per-cgroup latency target. The target determines how a
cgroup can afford latency increasement. We will use the target latency
to calculate a threshold and use it to schedule IO for cgroups. If a
cgroup's bandwidth is below its low limit but its average latency is
below the threshold, other cgroups can safely dispatch more IO even
their bandwidth is higher than their low limits. On the other hand, if
the first cgroup's latency is higher than the threshold, other cgroups
are throttled to their low limits. So the target latency determines how
we efficiently utilize free disk resource without sacifice of worload's
IO latency.
For example, assume 4k IO average latency is 50us when disk isn't
congested. A cgroup sets the target latency to 30us. Then the cgroup can
accept 50+30=80us IO latency. If the cgroupt's average IO latency is
90us and its bandwidth is below low limit, other cgroups are throttled
to their low limit. If the cgroup's average IO latency is 60us, other
cgroups are allowed to dispatch more IO. When other cgroups dispatch
more IO, the first cgroup's IO latency will increase. If it increases to
81us, we then throttle other cgroups.
User will configure the interface in this way:
echo "8:16 rbps=2097152 wbps=max latency=100 idle=200" > io.low
latency is in microsecond unit
By default, latency target is 0, which means to guarantee IO latency.

A cgroup gets assigned a low limit, but the cgroup could never dispatch
enough IO to cross the low limit. In such case, the queue state machine
will remain in LIMIT_LOW state and all other cgroups will be throttled
according to low limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should
treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to lower state.
We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of
cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the
cgroup is below its low limit. This isn't what we want. A more
complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_LOW. But
when queue gets upgraded to lower state, other cgroups could dispatch
more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below
its low limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue
should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is
to detect if cgroup is truely idle.
Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This
patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please
note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload
with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg,
not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16.
Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the
idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle.
We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by
default 1ms for SSD and 100ms for HD). The idea is think time above the
threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer
think time is ok.
The patch (and the latter patches) uses 'unsigned long' to track time.
We convert 'ns' to 'us' with 'ns >> 10'. This is fast but loses
precision, should not a big deal.

When cgroups all reach low limit, cgroups can dispatch more IO. This
could make some cgroups dispatch more IO but others not, and even some
cgroups could dispatch less IO than their low limit. For example, cg1
low limit 10MB/s, cg2 limit 80MB/s, assume disk maximum bandwidth is
120M/s for the workload. Their bps could something like this:
cg1/cg2 bps: T1: 10/80 -> T2: 60/60 -> T3: 10/80
At T1, all cgroups reach low limit, so they can dispatch more IO later.
Then cg1 dispatch more IO and cg2 has no room to dispatch enough IO. At
T2, cg2 only dispatches 60M/s. Since We detect cg2 dispatches less IO
than its low limit 80M/s, we downgrade the queue from LIMIT_MAX to
LIMIT_LOW, then all cgroups are throttled to their low limit (T3). cg2
will have bandwidth below its low limit at most time.
The big problem here is we don't know the maximum bandwidth of the
workload, so we can't make smart decision to avoid the situation. This
patch makes cgroup bandwidth change smooth. After disk upgrades from
LIMIT_LOW to LIMIT_MAX, we don't allow cgroups use all bandwidth upto
their max limit immediately. Their bandwidth limit will be increased
gradually to avoid above situation. So above example will became
something like:
cg1/cg2 bps: 10/80 -> 15/105 -> 20/100 -> 25/95 -> 30/90 -> 35/85 -> 40/80
-> 45/75 -> 22/98
In this way cgroups bandwidth will be above their limit in majority
time, this still doesn't fully utilize disk bandwidth, but that's
something we pay for sharing.
Scale up is linear. The limit scales up 1/2 .low limit every
throtl_slice after upgrade. The scale up will stop if the adjusted limit
hits .max limit. Scale down is exponential. We cut the scale value half
if a cgroup doesn't hit its .low limit. If the scale becomes 0, we then
fully downgrade the queue to LIMIT_LOW state.
Note this doesn't completely avoid cgroup running under its low limit.
The best way to guarantee cgroup doesn't run under its limit is to set
max limit. For example, if we set cg1 max limit to 40, cg2 will never
run under its low limit.

cgroup could be assigned a limit, but doesn't dispatch enough IO, eg the
cgroup is idle. When this happens, the cgroup doesn't hit its limit, so
we can't move the state machine to higher level and all cgroups will be
throttled to their lower limit, so we waste bandwidth. Detecting idle
cgroup is hard. This patch handles a simple case, a cgroup doesn't
dispatch any IO. We ignore such cgroup's limit, so other cgroups can use
the bandwidth.
Please note this will be replaced with a more sophisticated algorithm
later, but this demonstrates the idea how we handle idle cgroups, so I

throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. It's called slice
internally but it really is a time window blk-throttling samples data.
blk-throttling will make decision based on the samplings. An example is
bandwidth measurement. A cgroup's bandwidth is measured in the time
interval of throtl_slice.
A small throtl_slice meanse cgroups have smoother throughput but burn
more CPUs. It has 100ms default value, which is not appropriate for all
disks. A fast SSD can dispatch a lot of IOs in 100ms. This patch makes
it tunable.

cgroup could be throttled to a limit but when all cgroups cross high
limit, queue enters a higher state and so the group should be throttled
to a higher limit. It's possible the cgroup is sleeping because of
throttle and other cgroups don't dispatch IO any more. In this case,
nobody can trigger current downgrade/upgrade logic. To fix this issue,
we could either set up a timer to wakeup the cgroup if other cgroups are
idle or make sure this cgroup doesn't sleep too long. Setting up a timer
means we must change the timer very frequently. This patch chooses the
latter. Making cgroup sleep time not too big wouldn't change cgroup
bps/iops, but could make it wakeup more frequently, which isn't a big
issue because throtl_slice * 8 is already quite big.

When queue is in LIMIT_LOW state and all cgroups with low limit cross
the bps/iops limitation, we will upgrade queue's state to
LIMIT_MAX. To determine if a cgroup exceeds its limitation, we check if
the cgroup has pending request. Since cgroup is throttled according to
the limit, pending request means the cgroup reaches the limit.
If a cgroup has limit set for both read and write, we consider the
combination of them for upgrade. The reason is read IO and write IO can
interfere with each other. If we do the upgrade based in one direction
IO, the other direction IO could be severly harmed.
For a cgroup hierarchy, there are two cases. Children has lower low
limit than parent. Parent's low limit is meaningless. If children's
bps/iops cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state. The other case is
children has higher low limit than parent. Children's low limit is
meaningless. As long as parent's bps/iops (which is a sum of childrens
bps/iops) cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state.

Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the
statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree
users:
1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of
statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every
window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows,
wbt doesn't see every I/O.
2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending
on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also
unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid
polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the
previous full window.
This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users
register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of
the statistics from the window during which the callback was active.
Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both
currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further
subdivide based on request size.
The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu
stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the
I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified
considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the
statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics.
wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem
mentioned above is fixed.
For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous
window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling
heuristic to use.
Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue,
this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those,
we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
To avoid recursion on the kernel stack when stacked block devices
are in use, generic_make_request() will, when called recursively,
queue new requests for later handling. They will be handled when the
make_request_fn for the current bio completes.
If any bios are submitted by a make_request_fn, these will ultimately
be handled seqeuntially. If the handling of one of those generates
further requests, they will be added to the end of the queue.
This strict first-in-first-out behaviour can lead to deadlocks in
various ways, normally because a request might need to wait for a
previous request to the same device to complete. This can happen when
they share a mempool, and can happen due to interdependencies
particular to the device. Both md and dm have examples where this happens.
These deadlocks can be erradicated by more selective ordering of bios.
Specifically by handling them in depth-first order. That is: when the
handling of one bio generates one or more further bios, they are
handled immediately after the parent, before any siblings of the
parent. That way, when generic_make_request() calls make_request_fn
for some particular device, we can be certain that all previously
submited requests for that device have been completely handled and are
not waiting for anything in the queue of requests maintained in
generic_make_request().
An easy way to achieve this would be to use a last-in-first-out stack
instead of a queue. However this will change the order of consecutive
bios submitted by a make_request_fn, which could have unexpected consequences.
Instead we take a slightly more complex approach.
A fresh queue is created for each call to a make_request_fn. After it completes,
any bios for a different device are placed on the front of the main queue, followed
by any bios for the same device, followed by all bios that were already on
the queue before the make_request_fn was called.
This provides the depth-first approach without reordering bios on the same level.
This, by itself, it not enough to remove all deadlocks. It just makes
it possible for drivers to take the extra step required themselves.
To avoid deadlocks, drivers must never risk waiting for a request
after submitting one to generic_make_request. This includes never
allocing from a mempool twice in the one call to a make_request_fn.
A common pattern in drivers is to call bio_split() in a loop, handling
the first part and then looping around to possibly split the next part.
Instead, a driver that finds it needs to split a bio should queue
(with generic_make_request) the second part, handle the first part,
and then return. The new code in generic_make_request will ensure the
requests to underlying bios are processed first, then the second bio
that was split off. If it splits again, the same process happens. In
each case one bio will be completely handled before the next one is attempted.
With this is place, it should be possible to disable the
punt_bios_to_recover() recovery thread for many block devices, and
eventually it may be possible to remove it completely.

This reverts commit 0dba1314d4. It causes
leaking of device numbers for SCSI when SCSI registers multiple gendisks
for one request_queue in succession. It can be easily reproduced using
Omar's script [1] on kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
Furthermore the protection provided by this commit is not needed anymore
as the problem it was fixing got also fixed by commit 165a5e22fa
"block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()".

Commit 165a5e22fa "block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()"
added disk->queue dereference to del_gendisk(). Although del_gendisk()
is not supposed to be called without disk->queue valid and
blk_unregister_queue() warns in that case, this change will make it oops
instead. Return to the old more robust behavior of just warning when
del_gendisk() gets called for gendisk with disk->queue being NULL.

Currently from kobject view, both q->mq_kobj and ctx->kobj can
be released during one cycle of blk_mq_register_dev() and
blk_mq_unregister_dev(). Actually, sw queue's lifetime is
same with its request queue's, which is covered by request_queue->kobj.
So we don't need to call kobject_put() for the two kinds of
kobject in __blk_mq_unregister_dev(), instead we do that
in release handler of request queue.

Commit 6cd18e711d "block: destroy bdi before blockdev is
unregistered." moved bdi unregistration (at that time through
bdi_destroy()) from blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() because
it needs to happen before blk_unregister_region() call in del_gendisk()
for MD. SCSI though will free up the device number from sd_remove()
called through a maze of callbacks from device_del() in
__scsi_remove_device() before blk_cleanup_queue() and thus similar races
as described in 6cd18e711d can happen for SCSI as well as reported by
Omar [1].
Moving bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk() works for MD and fixes the
problem for SCSI since del_gendisk() gets called from sd_remove() before
freeing the device number.
This also makes device_add_disk() (calling bdi_register_owner()) more
symmetric with del_gendisk().

When drivers are called with a request in blk-mq, blk-mq flags the
state such that the driver knows if this is the last request in
this call chain or not. The driver can then use that information
to defer kicking off IO until bd->last is true. However, with blk-mq
and scheduling, we need to allocate a driver tag for a request before
it can be issued. If we fail to allocate such a tag, we could end up
in the situation where the last request issued did not have
bd->last == true set. This can then cause a driver hang.
This fixes a hang with virtio-blk, which uses bd->last as a hint
on whether to kick the queue or not.

For legacy scheduling, we always call ioc_exit_icq() with both the

scheduling, since the queue lock isn't what we use in the scheduler.
And since we don't need the queue lock held for ioc exit there,
don't grab it and leave any extra locking up to the blk-mq scheduler.

In blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests(), we call blk_mq_sched_mark_restart()
after we dispatch requests left over on our hardware queue dispatch
list. This is so we'll go back and dispatch requests from the scheduler.
In this case, it's only necessary to restart the hardware queue that we
are running; there's no reason to run other hardware queues just because
we are using shared tags.
So, split out blk_mq_sched_mark_restart() into two operations, one for
just the hardware queue and one for the whole request queue. The core
code only needs the hctx variant, but I/O schedulers will want to use
both.
This also requires adjusting blk_mq_sched_restart_queues() to always
check the queue restart flag, not just when using shared tags.

Commit 50e1dab86a ("blk-mq-sched: fix starvation for multiple hardware
queues and shared tags") fixed one starvation issue for shared tags.
However, we can still get into a situation where we fail to allocate a
tag because all tags are allocated but we don't have any pending
requests on any hardware queue.
One solution for this would be to restart all queues that share a tag
map, but that really sucks. Ideally, we could just block and wait for a
tag, but that isn't always possible from blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list().
However, we can still use the struct sbitmap_queue wait queues with a
custom callback instead of blocking. This has a few benefits:
1. It avoids iterating over all hardware queues when completing an I/O,
which the current restart code has to do.
2. It benefits from the existing rolling wakeup code.
3. It avoids punting to another thread just to have it block.

During an error on a comannd, ex: user provides wrong pw to unlock

propagate the original error to userland instead of the result of
the session termination, which is almost always a success.

Move bdev_unhash_inode() after invalidate_partition() as
invalidate_partition() looks up bdev and it cannot find the right bdev
inode after bdev_unhash_inode() is called. Thus invalidate_partition()
would not invalidate page cache of the previously used bdev. Also use
part_devt() when calling bdev_unhash_inode() instead of manually
creating the device number.

Merge tag 'for-4.11/linus-merge-signed' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
- blk-mq scheduling framework from me and Omar, with a port of the
deadline scheduler for this framework. A port of BFQ from Paolo is in
the works, and should be ready for 4.12.
- Various fixups and improvements to the above scheduling framework
from Omar, Paolo, Bart, me, others.
- Cleanup of the exported sysfs blk-mq data into debugfs, from Omar.
This allows us to export more information that helps debug hangs or
performance issues, without cluttering or abusing the sysfs API.
- Fixes for the sbitmap code, the scalable bitmap code that was
migrated from blk-mq, from Omar.
- Removal of the BLOCK_PC support in struct request, and refactoring of
carrying SCSI payloads in the block layer. This cleans up the code
nicely, and enables us to kill the SCSI specific parts of struct
request, shrinking it down nicely. From Christoph mainly, with help
from Hannes.
- Support for ranged discard requests and discard merging, also from
Christoph.
- Support for OPAL in the block layer, and for NVMe as well. Mainly
from Scott Bauer, with fixes/updates from various others folks.
- Error code fixup for gdrom from Christophe.
- cciss pci irq allocation cleanup from Christoph.
- Making the cdrom device operations read only, from Kees Cook.
- Fixes for duplicate bdi registrations and bdi/queue life time
problems from Jan and Dan.
- Set of fixes and updates for lightnvm, from Matias and Javier.
- A few fixes for nbd from Josef, using idr to name devices and a
workqueue deadlock fix on receive. Also marks Josef as the current
maintainer of nbd.
- Fix from Josef, overwriting queue settings when the number of
hardware queues is updated for a blk-mq device.
- NVMe fix from Keith, ensuring that we don't repeatedly mark and IO
aborted, if we didn't end up aborting it.
- SG gap merging fix from Ming Lei for block.
- Loop fix also from Ming, fixing a race and crash between setting loop
status and IO.
- Two block race fixes from Tahsin, fixing request list iteration and
fixing a race between device registration and udev device add
notifiations.
- Double free fix from cgroup writeback, from Tejun.
- Another double free fix in blkcg, from Hou Tao.
- Partition overflow fix for EFI from Alden Tondettar.

Insted of bloating the containing structure with it all the time this
allocates struct opal_dev dynamically. Additionally this allows moving
the definition of struct opal_dev into sed-opal.c. For this a new
private data field is added to it that is passed to the send/receive
callback. After that a lot of internals can be made private as well.

For blk-mq with scheduling, we can potentially end up with ALL
driver tags assigned and sitting on the flush queues. If we
defer because of an inlfight data request, then we can deadlock
if that data request doesn't already have a tag assigned.
This fixes a deadlock with running the xfs/297 xfstest, where
thousands of syncs can cause the drive queue to stall.

Usually we don't ask the scheduler for work, if we already have
leftovers on the dispatch list. This is done to leave work on
the scheduler side for as long as possible, for proper merging.
But if we do have work leftover but didn't dispatch anything,
then we should ask the scheduler since we could potentially
issue requests from that.

When a new disk shows up, sysfs queue directory is created before elevator
is registered. This allows a user to attempt a scheduler switch even though
the initial registration hasn't completed yet.
In one scenario, blk_register_queue() calls elv_register_queue() and
right before cfq_registered_queue() is called, another process executes
elevator_switch() and replaces q->elevator with deadline scheduler. When
cfq_registered_queue() executes it interprets e->elevator_data as struct
cfq_data even though it is actually struct deadline_data.
Grab q->sysfs_lock in blk_register_queue() to synchronize with sysfs
callers.
