54d5329d42 blk-mq-sched: fix crash in switch error path
In elevator_switch(), if blk_mq_init_sched() fails, we attempt to fall
back to the original scheduler. However, at this point, we've already
torn down the original scheduler's tags, so this causes a crash. Doing
the fallback like the legacy elevator path is much harder for mq, so fix
it by just falling back to none, instead.

7b36a7189f block: don't call ioc_exit_icq() with the queue lock held for blk-mq
For legacy scheduling, we always call ioc_exit_icq() with both the
ioc and queue lock held. This poses a problem for blk-mq with
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.

b410aff2bd block: do not allow updates through sysfs until registration completes
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.

1e739730c5 block: optionally merge discontiguous discard bios into a single request
Add a new merge strategy that merges discard bios into a request until the
maximum number of discard ranges (or the maximum discard size) is reached
from the plug merging code.  I/O scheduler merging is not wired up yet
but might also be useful, although not for fast devices like NVMe which
are the only user for now.

Note that for now we don't support limiting the size of each discard range,
but if needed that can be added later.

80c6b15732 blk-mq-sched: (un)register elevator when (un)registering queue
I noticed that when booting with a default blk-mq I/O scheduler, the
/sys/block/*/queue/iosched directory was missing. However, switching
after boot did create the directory. This is because we skip the initial
elevator register/unregister when we don't have a ->request_fn(), but we
should still do it for the ->mq_ops case.

36869cb93d Merge branch 'for-4.10/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
  release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
  always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
  reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
  probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
  for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.

  The major parts of this pull request is:

   - Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
     private implementation instead of using the pig that is
     fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.

   - Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
     by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
     writeback queue throttling code.

   - Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
     that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.

   - Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
     side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
     scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.

   - Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
     and Shaun.

   - Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.

   - Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
     which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
     Christoph.

   - A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
     stopping and starting in blk-mq.

   - Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.

   - Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.

   - Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.

   - A bunch of fixes from a whole slew of people, too many to name

9491ae4aad mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting
We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw
128K requests at the device level.  Turns out it is read-ahead capping
the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting.  This
doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they
should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the
underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command.

This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages.  This is the soft max IO
size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here.
Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size,
and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the
device side.  The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the
application asks for a huge read.  With this patch, the kernel behaves
like the application expects.

The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command,

zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in
sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one

64f1c21e86 blk-mq: make the polling code adaptive
The previous commit introduced the hybrid sleep/poll mode. Take
that one step further, and use the completion latencies to
automatically sleep for half the mean completion time. This is
a good approximation.

This changes the 'io_poll_delay' sysfs file a bit to expose the
various options. Depending on the value, the polling code will
behave differently:

-1	Never enter hybrid sleep mode
 0	Use half of the completion mean for the sleep delay
>0	Use this specific value as the sleep delay

06426adf07 blk-mq: implement hybrid poll mode for sync O_DIRECT
This patch enables a hybrid polling mode. Instead of polling after IO
submission, we can induce an artificial delay, and then poll after that.
For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, we
can sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then do our polling. This still puts
a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening
after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid
scheme, we can achieve big latency reductions while still using the same
(or less) amount of CPU.

87760e5eef block: hook up writeback throttling
Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot
more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity.
Background writeback should be, by definition, background
activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time
means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads,
which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that
we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence
of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback,
unless someone is waiting for it.

The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the
CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors
the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that
window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a
given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth
is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike
CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we
simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that
scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a
close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the
windows where we get good behavior.

Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This
happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive
scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window.
When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's
stable state of a zero scale count.

The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency
target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and
75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables
blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting.

We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have
a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup
on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with
that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will
rely on CFQ doing that for us.

cf43e6be86 block: add scalable completion tracking of requests
For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For
blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then
sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device
state.

The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows.

Add sysfs files to display the stats.

The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel
users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue
flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of
the stats files, that is something we could add as well.

Add the zoned queue limit to indicate the zoning model of a block device.
Defined values are 0 (BLK_ZONED_NONE) for regular block devices,
1 (BLK_ZONED_HA) for host-aware zone block devices and 2 (BLK_ZONED_HM)

model is not defined here since these block devices do not provide any
command for accessing zone information. Drive managed model devices will
be reported as BLK_ZONED_NONE.

The helper functions blk_queue_zoned_model and bdev_zoned_model return
the zoned limit and the functions blk_queue_is_zoned and bdev_is_zoned
return a boolean for callers to test if a block device is zoned.

The zoned attribute is also exported as a string to applications via

BLK_ZONED_HM as "host-managed".

09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

ca369d51b3 block/sd: Fix device-imposed transfer length limits
Commit 4f258a4634 ("sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests")
had the unfortunate side-effect of removing an implicit clamp to
BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS for REQ_TYPE_FS requests in the block layer
code. This caused problems for some SMR drives.

Debugging this issue revealed a few problems with the existing
infrastructure since the block layer didn't know how to deal with
device-imposed limits, only limits set by the I/O controller.

 - Introduce a new queue limit, max_dev_sectors, which is used by the
   ULD to signal the maximum sectors for a REQ_TYPE_FS request.

 - Ensure that max_dev_sectors is correctly stacked and taken into
   account when overriding max_sectors through sysfs.

 - Rework sd_read_block_limits() so it saves the max_xfer and opt_xfer
   values for later processing.

 - In sd_revalidate() set the queue's max_dev_sectors based on the
   MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value in the Block Limits VPD. If this value
   is not reported, fall back to a cap based on the CDB TRANSFER LENGTH
   field size.

 - In sd_revalidate(), use OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH from the Block Limits
   VPD--if reported and sane--to signal the preferred device transfer
   size for FS requests. Otherwise use BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

 - blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() is no longer used and can be removed.

the cookie that blk-mq passes back, which enables the block layer
to pass this cookie to the driver to spin for a specific request.

This will be combined with request latency tracking, so we can make

benchmark purposes, we add a sysfs file that controls whether polling
is enabled or not.

3ef28e83ab block: generic request_queue reference counting
Allow pmem, and other synchronous/bio-based block drivers, to fallback
on a per-cpu reference count managed by the core for tracking queue
live/dead state.

The existing per-cpu reference count for the blk_mq case is promoted to
be used in all block i/o scenarios.  This involves initializing it by
default, waiting for it to drop to zero at exit, and holding a live
reference over the invocation of q->make_request_fn() in
generic_make_request().  The blk_mq code continues to take its own
reference per blk_mq request and retains the ability to freeze the
queue, but the check that the queue is frozen is moved to
generic_make_request().

This fixes crash signatures like the following:

b02176f30c block: don't release bdi while request_queue has live references
bdi's are initialized in two steps, bdi_init() and bdi_register(), but
destroyed in a single step by bdi_destroy() which, for a bdi embedded
in a request_queue, is called during blk_cleanup_queue() which makes
the queue invisible and starts the draining of remaining usages.

A request_queue's user can access the congestion state of the embedded
bdi as long as it holds a reference to the queue.  As such, it may
access the congested state of a queue which finished
blk_cleanup_queue() but hasn't reached blk_release_queue() yet.
Because the congested state was embedded in backing_dev_info which in
turn is embedded in request_queue, accessing the congested state after
bdi_destroy() was called was fine.  The bdi was destroyed but the
memory region for the congested state remained accessible till the
queue got released.

a13f35e871 ("writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in
bdi_writeback") changed the situation.  Now, the root congested state
which is expected to be pinned while request_queue remains accessible
is separately reference counted and the base ref is put during
bdi_destroy().  This means that the root congested state may go away
prematurely while the queue is between bdi_dstroy() and
blk_cleanup_queue(), which was detected by Andrey's KASAN tests.

The root cause of this problem is that bdi doesn't distinguish the two
steps of destruction, unregistration and release, and now the root
congested state actually requires a separate release step.  To fix the
issue, this patch separates out bdi_unregister() and bdi_exit() from
bdi_destroy().  bdi_unregister() is called from blk_cleanup_queue()
and bdi_exit() from blk_release_queue().  bdi_destroy() is now just a
simple wrapper calling the two steps back-to-back.

While at it, the prototype of bdi_destroy() is moved right below
bdi_setup_and_register() so that the counterpart operations are
located together.

54efd50bfd block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios
The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.

But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them.  In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.

We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.

Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:

 * nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
 * axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
 * simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
 * brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
 * mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
 * loop_make_request
 * null_queue_bio
 * bcache's make_request fns

Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

0034af0365 block: make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable
Lots of devices support huge discard sizes these days. Depending
on how the device handles them internally, huge discards can
introduce massive latencies (hundreds of msec) on the device side.

We have a sysfs file, discard_max_bytes, that advertises the max
hardware supported discard size. Make this writeable, and split
the settings into a soft and hard limit. This can be set from
'discard_granularity' and up to the hardware limit.

Add a new sysfs file, 'discard_max_hw_bytes', that shows the hw
set limit.

66114cad64 writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h
With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

6cd18e711d block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.
Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
	blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors);
call in del_gendisk().

Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call.  In particular, the 'bdi'.

Since:
commit c4db59d31e
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
    fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info

moved the
   device_unregister(bdi->dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().

The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains

> [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
> [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'

We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.

Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk().  As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

The kobject memory inside blk-mq hctx/ctx shouldn't have been freed
before the kobject is released because driver core can access it freely
before its release.

We can't do that in all ctx/hctx/mq_kobj's release handler because
it can be run before blk_cleanup_queue().

Given mq_kobj shouldn't have been introduced, this patch simply moves
mq's release into blk_release_queue().

45a9c9d909 blk-mq: Fix a use-after-free
blk-mq users are allowed to free the memory request_queue.tag_set
points at after blk_cleanup_queue() has finished but before
blk_release_queue() has started. This can happen e.g. in the SCSI
core. The SCSI core namely embeds the tag_set structure in a SCSI
host structure. The SCSI host structure is freed by
scsi_host_dev_release(). This function is called after
blk_cleanup_queue() finished but can be called before
blk_release_queue().

This means that it is not safe to access request_queue.tag_set from
inside blk_release_queue(). Hence remove the blk_sync_queue() call
from blk_release_queue(). This call is not necessary - outstanding
requests must have finished before blk_release_queue() is
called. Additionally, move the blk_mq_free_queue() call from
blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() to avoid that struct
request_queue.tag_set gets accessed after it has been freed.

This patch avoids that the following kernel oops can be triggered
when deleting a SCSI host for which scsi-mq was enabled:

f70ced0917 blk-mq: support per-distpatch_queue flush machinery
This patch supports to run one single flush machinery for
each blk-mq dispatch queue, so that:

- current init_request and exit_request callbacks can
cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of
initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed

- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue

In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync,
iodepth=64, numjobs=4, bs=4K), it is observed that througput gets
increased a lot over my test environment:
	- throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk
	- throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image

The multi virtqueue feature isn't merged to QEMU yet, and patches for
the feature can be found in below tree:

	git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/qemu.git  	v2.1.0-mq.4

And simply passing 'num_queues=4 vectors=5' should be enough to
enable multi queue(quad queue) feature for QEMU virtio-blk.

17497acbdc blk-mq, percpu_ref: start q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode
blk-mq uses percpu_ref for its usage counter which tracks the number
of in-flight commands and used to synchronously drain the queue on
freeze.  percpu_ref shutdown takes measureable wallclock time as it
involves a sched RCU grace period.  This means that draining a blk-mq
takes measureable wallclock time.  One would think that this shouldn't
matter as queue shutdown should be a rare event which takes place
asynchronously w.r.t. userland.

Unfortunately, SCSI probing involves synchronously setting up and then
tearing down a lot of request_queues back-to-back for non-existent
LUNs.  This means that SCSI probing may take above ten seconds when
scsi-mq is used.

This is also the reason why request_queues start in bypass mode which
is ended on blk_register_queue() as shutting down a fully functional
queue also involves a RCU grace period and the queues for non-existent
SCSI devices never reach registration.

blk-mq basically needs to do the same thing - start the mq in a
degraded mode which is faster to shut down and then make it fully
functional only after the queue reaches registration.  percpu_ref
recently grew facilities to force atomic operation until explicitly
switched to percpu mode, which can be used for this purpose.  This
patch makes blk-mq initialize q->mq_usage_counter in atomic mode and
switch it to percpu mode only once blk_register_queue() is reached.

Note that this issue was previously worked around by 0a30288da1
("blk-mq, percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during
probe") for v3.17.  The temp fix was reverted in preparation of adding
persistent atomic mode to percpu_ref by 9eca80461a ("Revert "blk-mq,
percpu_ref: implement a kludge for SCSI blk-mq stall during probe"").
This patch and the prerequisite percpu_ref changes will be merged
during v3.18 devel cycle.

df35c7c912 Block: fix unbalanced bypass-disable in blk_register_queue
When a queue is registered, the block layer turns off the bypass
setting (because bypass is enabled when the queue is created).  This
doesn't work well for queues that are unregistered and then registered
again; we get a WARNING because of the unbalanced calls to
blk_queue_bypass_end().

This patch fixes the problem by making blk_register_queue() call
blk_queue_bypass_end() only the first time the queue is registered.

776687bce4 block, blk-mq: draining can't be skipped even if bypass_depth was non-zero
Currently, both blk_queue_bypass_start() and blk_mq_freeze_queue()
skip queue draining if bypass_depth was already above zero.  The
assumption is that the one which bumped the bypass_depth should have
performed draining already; however, there's nothing which prevents a
new instance of bypassing/freezing from starting before the previous
one finishes draining.  The current code may allow the later
bypassing/freezing instances to complete while there still are
in-flight requests which haven't finished draining.

Fix it by draining regardless of bypass_depth.  We still skip draining
from blk_queue_bypass_start() while the queue is initializing to avoid
introducing excessive delays during boot.  INIT_DONE setting is moved
above the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() so that bypassing attempts
can't slip inbetween.

its allocation and free inside blk-mq, and don't
allocate it for legacy queue device.

e3a2b3f931 blk-mq: allow changing of queue depth through sysfs
For request_fn based devices, the block layer exports a 'nr_requests'
file through sysfs to allow adjusting of queue depth on the fly.
Currently this returns -EINVAL for blk-mq, since it's not wired up.
Wire this up for blk-mq, so that it now also always dynamic
adjustments of the allowed queue depth for any given block device
managed by blk-mq.

18741986a4 blk-mq: rework flush sequencing logic
Witch to using a preallocated flush_rq for blk-mq similar to what's done
with the old request path.  This allows us to set up the request properly
with a tag from the actually allowed range and ->rq_disk as needed by
some drivers.  To make life easier we also switch to dynamic allocation
of ->flush_rq for the old path.

This effectively reverts most of

    "blk-mq: fix for flush deadlock"

and

    "blk-mq: Don't reserve a tag for flush request"
