f46ec84b5a blk-iocost: don't ignore vrate_min on QD contention
ioc_adjust_base_vrate() ignored vrate_min when rq_wait_pct indicates that
there is QD contention. The reasoning was that QD depletion always reliably
indicates device saturation and thus it's safe to override user specified
vrate_min. However, this sometimes leads to unnecessary throttling,
especially on really fast devices, because vrate adjustments have delays and
inertia. It also confuses users because the behavior violates the explicitly
specified configuration.

This patch drops the special case handling so that vrate_min is always
applied.

d16baa3f14 blk-iocost: fix NULL iocg deref from racing against initialization
When initializing iocost for a queue, its rqos should be registered before
the blkcg policy is activated to allow policy data initiailization to lookup
the associated ioc. This unfortunately means that the rqos methods can be
called on bios before iocgs are attached to all existing blkgs.

While the race is theoretically possible on ioc_rqos_throttle(), it mostly
happened in ioc_rqos_merge() due to the difference in how they lookup ioc.
The former determines it from the passed in @rqos and then bails before
dereferencing iocg if the looked up ioc is disabled, which most likely is
the case if initialization is still in progress. The latter looked up ioc by
dereferencing the possibly NULL iocg making it a lot more prone to actually
triggering the bug.

* Make ioc_rqos_merge() use the same method as ioc_rqos_throttle() to look
  up ioc for consistency.

* Make ioc_rqos_throttle() and ioc_rqos_merge() test for NULL iocg before
  dereferencing it.

* Explain the danger of NULL iocgs in blk_iocost_init().

22ae8ce8b8 block: simplify bdev/disk lookup in blkdev_get
To simplify block device lookup and a few other upcoming areas, make sure
that we always have a struct block_device available for each disk and
each partition, and only find existing block devices in bdget.  The only
downside of this is that each device and partition uses a little more
memory.  The upside will be that a lot of code can be simplified.

With that all we need to look up the block device is to lookup the inode
and do a few sanity checks on the gendisk, instead of the separate lookup
for the gendisk.  For blk-cgroup which wants to access a gendisk without
opening it, a new blkdev_{get,put}_no_open low-level interface is added
to replace the previous get_gendisk use.

Note that the change to look up block device directly instead of the two
step lookup using struct gendisk causes a subtile change in behavior:
accessing a non-existing partition on an existing block device can now
cause a call to request_module.  That call is harmless, and in practice
no recent system will access these nodes as they aren't created by udev
and static /dev/ setups are unusual.

bec02dbbaf iocost: consider iocgs with active delays for debt forgiveness
An iocg may have 0 debt but non-zero delay. The current debt forgiveness
logic doesn't act on such iocgs. This can lead to unexpected behaviors - an
iocg with a little bit of debt will have its delay canceled through debt
forgiveness but one w/o any debt but active delay will have to wait out
until its delay decays out.

This patch updates the debt handling logic so that it treats delays the same
as debts. If either debt or delay is active, debt forgiveness logic kicks in
and acts on both the same way.

Also, avoid turning the debt and delay directly to zero as that can confuse
state transitions.

c7af2a003a iocost: reimplement debt forgiveness using average usage
Debt forgiveness logic was counting the number of consecutive !busy periods
as the trigger condition. While this usually works, it can easily be thrown
off by temporary fluctuations especially on configurations w/ short periods.

This patch reimplements debt forgiveness so that:

* Use the average usage over the forgiveness period instead of counting
  consecutive periods.

* Debt is reduced at around the target rate (1/2 every 100ms) regardless of
  ioc period duration.

* Usage threshold is raised to 50%. Combined with the preceding changes and
  the switch to average usage, this makes debt forgivness a lot more
  effective at reducing the amount of unnecessary idleness.

* Constants are renamed with DFGV_ prefix.

33a1fe6d82 iocost: replace nr_shortages cond in ioc_forgive_debts() with busy_level one
Debt reduction was blocked if any iocg was short on budget in the past
period to avoid reducing debts while some iocgs are saturated. However, this
ends up unnecessarily blocking debt reduction due to temporary local
imbalances when the device is generally being underutilized, while also
failing to block when the underlying device is overwhelmed and the usage
becomes low from high latency.

Given that debt accumulation mostly happens with swapout bursts which can
significantly deteriorate the underlying device's latency response, the
current logic is not great.

Let's replace it with ioc->busy_level based condition so that we block debt
reduction when the underlying device is being saturated. ioc_forgive_debts()
call is moved after busy_level determination.

aa67db24b6 iocost: fix infinite loop bug in adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost()
adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() is responsible for reducing the amount of
donated weights dynamically in period as the budget runs low. Because we
don't want to do full donation calculation in period, we keep latching up
inuse by INUSE_ADJ_STEP_PCT of the active weight of the cgroup until the
resulting hweight_inuse is satisfactory.

Unfortunately, the adj_step calculation was reading the active weight before
acquiring ioc->lock. Because the current thread could have lost race to
activate the iocg to another thread before entering this function, it may
read the active weight as zero before acquiring ioc->lock. When this
happens, the adj_step is calculated as zero and the incremental adjustment
loop becomes an infinite one.

Fix it by fetching the active weight after acquiring ioc->lock.

When an iocg accumulates too much vtime or gets deactivated, we throw away
some vtime, which lowers the overall device utilization. As the exact amount
which is being thrown away is known, we can compensate by accelerating the
vrate accordingly so that the extra vtime generated in the current period
matches what got lost.

dda1315f18 blk-iocost: halve debts if device stays idle
A low weight iocg can amass a large amount of debt, for example, when
anonymous memory gets reclaimed aggressively. If the system has a lot of
memory paired with a slow IO device, the debt can span multiple seconds or
more. If there are no other subsequent IO issuers, the in-debt iocg may end
up blocked paying its debt while the IO device is idle.

This patch implements a mechanism to protect against such pathological
cases. If the device has been sufficiently idle for a substantial amount of
time, the debts are halved. The criteria are on the conservative side as we
want to resolve the rare extreme cases without impacting regular operation
by forgiving debts too readily.

5160a5a53c blk-iocost: implement delay adjustment hysteresis
Curently, iocost syncs the delay duration to the outstanding debt amount,
which seemed enough to protect the system from anon memory hogs. However,
that was mostly because the delay calcuation was using hweight_inuse which
quickly converges towards zero under debt for delay duration calculation,
often pusnishing debtors overly harshly for longer than deserved.

The previous patch fixed the delay calcuation and now the protection against
anonymous memory hogs isn't enough because the effect of delay is indirect
and non-linear and a huge amount of future debt can accumulate abruptly
while unthrottled.

This patch implements delay hysteresis so that delay is decayed
exponentially over time instead of getting cleared immediately as debt is
paid off. While the overall behavior is similar to the blk-cgroup
implementation used by blk-iolatency, a lot of the details are different and
due to the empirical nature of the mechanism, it's challenging to adapt the
mechanism for one controller without negatively impacting the other.

As the delay is gradually decayed now, there's no point in running it from
its own hrtimer. Periodic updates are now performed from ioc_timer_fn() and
the dedicated hrtimer is removed.

c421a3eb2e blk-iocost: revamp debt handling
Debt handling had several issues.

* How much inuse a debtor carries wasn't clearly defined. inuse would be
  driven down over time from not issuing IOs but it'd be better to clamp it
  to minimum immediately once in debt.

* How much can be paid off was determined by hweight_inuse. As inuse was
  driven down, the payment amount would fall together regardless of the
  debtor's active weight. This means that the debtors were punished harshly.

* ioc_rqos_merge() wasn't calling blkcg_schedule_throttle() after
  iocg_kick_delay().

This patch revamps debt handling so that

* Debt handling owns inuse for iocgs in debt and keeps them at zero.

* Payment amount is determined by hweight_active. This is more deterministic
  and safer than hweight_inuse but still far from ideal in that it doesn't
  factor in possible donations from other iocgs for debt payments. This
  likely needs further improvements in the future.

* iocg_rqos_merge() now calls blkcg_schedule_throttle() as necessary.

b0853ab4a2 blk-iocost: revamp in-period donation snapbacks
When the margin drops below the minimum on a donating iocg, donation is
immediately canceled in full. There are a couple shortcomings with the
current behavior.

* It's abrupt. A small temporary budget deficit can lead to a wide swing in
  weight allocation and a large surplus.

* It's open coded in the issue path but not implemented for the merge path.
  A series of merges at a low inuse can make the iocg incur debts and stall
  incorrectly.

This patch reimplements in-period donation snapbacks so that

* inuse adjustment and cost calculations are factored into
  adjust_inuse_and_calc_cost() which is called from both the issue and merge
  paths.

* Snapbacks are more gradual. It occurs in quarter steps.

* A snapback triggers if the margin goes below the low threshold and is
  lower than the budget at the time of the last adjustment.

* For the above, __propagate_weights() stores the margin in
  iocg->saved_margin. Move iocg->last_inuse storing together into
  __propagate_weights() for consistency.

* Full snapback is guaranteed when there are waiters.

* With precise donation and gradual snapbacks, inuse adjustments are now a
  lot more effective and the value of scaling inuse on weight changes isn't
  clear. Removed inuse scaling from weight_update().

f1de2439ec blk-iocost: revamp donation amount determination
iocost has various safety nets to combat inuse adjustment calculation
inaccuracies. With Andy's method implemented in transfer_surpluses(), inuse
adjustment calculations are now accurate and we can make donation amount
determinations accurate too.

* Stop keeping track of past usage history and using the maximum. Act on the
  immediate usage information.

* Remove donation constraints defined by SURPLUS_* constants. Donate
  whatever isn't used.

* Determine the donation amount so that the iocg will end up with
  MARGIN_TARGET_PCT budget at the end of the coming period assuming the same
  usage as the previous period. TARGET is set at 50% of period, which is the
  previous maximum. This provides smooth convergence for most repetitive IO
  patterns.

* Apply donation logic early at 20% budget. There's no risk in doing so as
  the calculation is based on the delta between the current budget and the
  target budget at the end of the coming period.

* Remove preemptive iocg activation for zero cost IOs. As donation can reach
  near zero now, the mere activation doesn't provide any protection anymore.
  In the unlikely case that this becomes a problem, the right solution is
  assigning appropriate costs for such IOs.

This significantly improves the donation determination logic while also
simplifying it. Now all donations are immediate, exact and smooth.

e08d02aa5f blk-iocost: implement Andy's method for donation weight updates
iocost implements work conservation by reducing iocg->inuse and propagating
the adjustment upwards proportionally. However, while I knew the target
absolute hierarchical proportion - adjusted hweight_inuse, I couldn't figure
out how to determine the iocg->inuse adjustment to achieve that and
approximated the adjustment by scaling iocg->inuse using the proportion of
the needed hweight_inuse changes.

When nested, these scalings aren't accurate even when adjusting a single
node as the donating node also receives the benefit of the donated portion.
When multiple nodes are donating as they often do, they can be wildly wrong.

iocost employed various safety nets to combat the inaccuracies. There are
ample buffers in determining how much to donate, the adjustments are
conservative and gradual. While it can achieve a reasonable level of work
conservation in simple scenarios, the inaccuracies can easily add up leading
to significant loss of total work. This in turn makes it difficult to
closely cap vrate as vrate adjustment is needed to compensate for the loss
of work. The combination of inaccurate donation calculations and vrate
adjustments can lead to wide fluctuations and clunky overall behaviors.

Andy Newell devised a method to calculate the needed ->inuse updates to
achieve the target hweight_inuse's. The method is compatible with the
proportional inuse adjustment propagation which allows all hot path
operations to be local to each iocg.

To roughly summarize, Andy's method divides the tree into donating and
non-donating parts, calculates global donation rate which is used to
determine the target hweight_inuse for each node, and then derives per-level
proportions. There's non-trivial amount of math involved. Please refer to
the following pdfs for detailed descriptions.

93f7d2db80 blk-iocost: restructure surplus donation logic
The way the surplus donation logic is structured isn't great. There are two
separate paths for starting/increasing donations and decreasing them making
the logic harder to follow and is prone to unnecessary behavior differences.

In preparation for improved donation handling, this patch restructures the
code so that

* All donors - new, increasing and decreasing - are funneled through the
  same code path.

* The target donation calculation is factored into hweight_after_donation()
  which is called once from the same spot for all possible donors.

* Actual inuse adjustment is factored into trasnfer_surpluses().

This change introduces a few behavior differences - e.g. donation amount
reduction now uses the max usage of the recent three periods just like new
and increasing donations, and inuse now gets adjusted upwards the same way
it gets downwards. These differences are unlikely to have severely negative
implications and the whole logic will be revamped soon.

This patch also removes two tracepoints. The existing TPs don't quite fit
the new implementation. A later patch will update and reinstate them.

clamped between 1 and WEIGHT_ONE and WEIGHT_ONE is also used to signal
saturation regardless of the current hierarchical inuse weight.

flushing employ the same method as cgroup rstat on the active iocg's and the
only hot path overhead is preemption toggling and adding to a percpu
counter.

da437b95db blk-iocost: grab ioc->lock for debt handling
Currently, debt handling requires only iocg->waitq.lock. In the future, we
want to adjust and propagate inuse changes depending on debt status. Let's
grab ioc->lock in debt handling paths in preparation.

* Because ioc->lock nests outside iocg->waitq.lock, the decision to grab
  ioc->lock needs to be made before entering the critical sections.

* Add and use iocg_[un]lock() which handles the conditional double locking.

* Add @pay_debt to iocg_kick_waitq() so that debt payment happens only when
  the caller grabbed both locks.

This patch is prepatory and the comments contain references to future
changes.

7ca5b2e60b blk-iocost: streamline vtime margin and timer slack handling
The margin handling was pretty inconsistent.

* ioc->margin_us and ioc->inuse_margin_vtime were used as vtime margin
  thresholds. However, the two are in different units with the former
  requiring conversion to vtime on use.

* iocg_kick_waitq() was using a quarter of WAITQ_TIMER_MARGIN_PCT of
  period_us as the timer slack - ~1.2%. While iocg_kick_delay() was using a
  quarter of ioc->margin_us - ~12.5%. There aren't strong reasons to use
  different values for the two.

This patch cleans up margin and timer slack handling:

* vtime margins are now recorded in ioc->margins.{min, max} on period
  duration changes and used consistently.

* Timer slack is now 1% of period_us and recorded in ioc->timer_slack_ns and
  used consistently for iocg_kick_waitq() and iocg_kick_delay().

The only functional change is shortening of timer slack. No meaningful
visible change is expected.

7b84b49e38 blk-iocost: make iocg_kick_waitq() call iocg_kick_delay() after paying debt
iocg_kick_waitq() is the function which pays debt and iocg_kick_delay()
updates the actual delay status accordingly. If iocg_kick_delay() is not
called after iocg_kick_delay() updated debt, unnecessarily large delays can
be applied temporarily.

Let's make sure such conditions don't occur by making iocg_kick_waitq()
always call iocg_kick_delay() after paying debt.

97d052ea3f A set of locking fixes and updates:
- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in various
     situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to validate that
     the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
 
   - The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
     above fallout.
 
     seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
     serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict per
     CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep cannot
     validate that the lock is held.
 
     This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
     sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
     initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
     writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored and
     write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that the
     lock is held.
 
     Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
     required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API is
     unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help of
     _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has been
     moved up.
 
     Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs which
     have been addressed already independent of this.
 
     While generaly useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
     kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if the
     writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to the well
     known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by storing the
     associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the seqcount and
     changing the reader side to block on the lock when a reader detects

67b7b641ca iocost: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock
A sequence counter write side critical section must be protected by some
form of locking to serialize writers. A plain seqcount_t does not
contain the information of which lock must be held when entering a write
side critical section.

Use the new seqcount_spinlock_t data type, which allows to associate a
spinlock with the sequence counter. This enables lockdep to verify that
the spinlock used for writer serialization is held when the write side
critical section is entered.

If lockdep is disabled this lock association is compiled out and has
neither storage size nor runtime overhead.

81ca627a93 iocost: don't let vrate run wild while there's no saturation signal
When the QoS targets are met and nothing is being throttled, there's
no way to tell how saturated the underlying device is - it could be
almost entirely idle, at the cusp of saturation or anywhere inbetween.
Given that there's no information, it's best to keep vrate as-is in
this state.  Before 7cd806a9a9 ("iocost: improve nr_lagging
handling"), this was the case - if the device isn't missing QoS
targets and nothing is being throttled, busy_level was reset to zero.

While fixing nr_lagging handling, 7cd806a9a9 ("iocost: improve
nr_lagging handling") broke this.  Now, while the device is hitting
QoS targets and nothing is being throttled, vrate keeps getting
adjusted according to the existing busy_level.

This led to vrate keeping climing till it hits max when there's an IO
issuer with limited request concurrency if the vrate started low.
vrate starts getting adjusted upwards until the issuer can issue IOs
w/o being throttled.  From then on, QoS targets keeps getting met and
nothing on the system needs throttling and vrate keeps getting
increased due to the existing busy_level.

This patch makes the following changes to the busy_level logic.

* Reset busy_level if nr_shortages is zero to avoid the above
  scenario.

* Make non-zero nr_lagging block lowering nr_level but still clear
  positive busy_level if there's clear non-saturation signal - QoS
  targets are met and nr_shortages is non-zero.  nr_lagging's role is
  preventing adjusting vrate upwards while there are long-running
  commands and it shouldn't keep busy_level positive while there's
  clear non-saturation signal.

* Restructure code for clarity and add comments.
