69948b070e blkcg: separate out tg_conf_updated() from tg_set_conf()
tg_set_conf() is largely consisted of parsing and setting the new
config and the follow-up application and propagation.  This patch
separates out the latter part into tg_conf_updated().  This will be
used to implement interface for the unified hierarchy.

36aa9e5f59 blkcg: move body parsing from blkg_conf_prep() to its callers
Currently, blkg_conf_prep() expects input to be of the following form

 MAJ:MIN NUM

and reads the NUM part into blkg_conf_ctx->v.  This is quite
restrictive and gets in the way in implementing blkcg interface for
the unified hierarchy.  This patch updates blkg_conf_prep() so that it
expects

 MAJ:MIN BODY_STR

where BODY_STR is an arbitrary string.  blkg_conf_ctx->v is replaced
with ->body which is a char pointer pointing to the start of BODY_STR.
Parsing of the body is moved to blkg_conf_prep()'s callers.

To allow using, for example, strsep() on blkg_conf_ctx->val, it is a
non-const pointer and to accommodate that const is dropped from @input
too.

This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

880f50e228 blkcg: mark existing cftypes as legacy
blkcg is about to grow interface for the unified hierarchy.  Add
legacy to existing cftypes.

* blkcg_policy->cftypes -> blkcg_policy->legacy_cftypes
* blk-cgroup.c:blkcg_files -> blkcg_legacy_files
* cfq-iosched.c:cfq_blkcg_files -> cfq_blkcg_legacy_files
* blk-throttle.c:throtl_files -> throtl_legacy_files

Pure renames.  No functional change.

c165b3e3c7 blkcg: rename subsystem name from blkio to io
blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the
largest.  In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has
multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number
of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have
been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and
non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs.

Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions
don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can
contain processes.  cgroups is going through a major interface
revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental
usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface
doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the
interface.

As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem
name from "blkio" to "io".  This is more concise, matches the other
two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as
blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an
actual block device is involved or not.

As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland
visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported
as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during
boot.  On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

3a7faeada2 blkcg: reduce stack usage of blkg_rwstat_recursive_sum()
The recent percpu conversion of blkg_rwstat triggered the following
warning in certain configurations.

 block/blk-cgroup.c:654:1: warning: the frame size of 1360 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes

This is because blkg_rwstat now contains four percpu_counter which can
be pretty big depending on debug options although it shouldn't be a
problem in production configs.  This patch removes one of the two
local blkg_rwstat variables used by blkg_rwstat_recursive_sum() to
reduce stack usage.

702747cabe blkcg: remove cfqg_stats->sectors
cfq_stats->sectors is a blkg_stat which keeps track of the total
number of sectors serviced; however, this can be trivially calculated
from blkcg_gq->stat_bytes.  The only thing necessary is adding up
READs and WRITEs and then dividing by sector size.

Remove cfqg_stats->sectors and make cfq print "sectors" and
"sectors_recursive" from stat_bytes.

While this is a bit more code, it removes duplicate stat allocations
and updates and ensures that the reported stats stay in tune with each
other.

77ea733884 blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gq
Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of
io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats.  While keeping track of them
separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much
sense otherwise.  Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while
cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative.

This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq),
removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let
them print from the common blkg counters.  The common counters are
incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check().

The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has
blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it
has never been used for a given blkg.  The only times when the outputs
would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly
or elevators are switched back and forth.  Those are quite exceptional
operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters.

v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly.

v2: Account IOs during bio issues instead of request completions so
    that bio-based drivers can be handled the same way.

24bdb8ef06 blkcg: make blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu
blkcg_[rw]stat are used as stat counters for blkcg policies.  It isn't
per-cpu by itself and blk-throttle makes it per-cpu by wrapping around
it.  This patch makes blkcg_[rw]stat per-cpu and drop the ad-hoc
per-cpu wrapping in blk-throttle.

* blkg_[rw]stat->cnt is replaced with cpu_cnt which is struct
  percpu_counter.  This makes syncp unnecessary as remote accesses are
  handled by percpu_counter itself.

* blkg_[rw]stat_init() can now fail due to percpu allocation failure
  and thus are updated to return int.

* percpu_counters need explicit freeing.  blkg_[rw]stat_exit() added.

* As blkg_rwstat->cpu_cnt[] can't be read directly anymore, reading
  and summing results are stored in ->aux_cnt[] instead.

* Custom per-cpu stat implementation in blk-throttle is removed.

This makes all blkcg stat counters per-cpu without complicating policy
implmentations.

e6269c4454 blkcg: add blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt and replace cfq_group->dead_stats with it
cgroup stats are local to each cgroup and doesn't propagate to
ancestors by default.  When recursive stats are necessary, the sum is
calculated over all the descendants.  This initially was for backward
compatibility to support both group-local and recursive stats but this
mode of operation makes general sense as stat update is much hotter
thafn reporting those stats.

This however ends up losing recursive stats when a child is removed.
To work around this, cfq-iosched adds its stats to its parent
cfq_group->dead_stats which is summed up together when calculating
recursive stats.

It's planned that the core stats will be moved to blkcg_gq, so we want
to move the mechanism for keeping track of the stats of dead children
from cfq to blkcg core.  This patch adds blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt which
are atomic64_t's keeping track of auxiliary counts which are excluded
when reading local counts but included for recursive.

blkg_[rw]stat_merge() which were used by cfq to implement dead_stats
are replaced by blkg_[rw]stat_add_aux(), and cfq now forwards stats of
a dead cgroup to the aux counts of parent->stats instead of separate
->dead_stats.

This will also help making blkg_[rw]stats per-cpu.

ae11889636 blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()
blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
different policies.  Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.

This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
generic_make_request_checks().  blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
only function which tries to create missing blkg's.  The subsequent
policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
missing falls back to the root.

* blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg.  It uses blkg_lookup()
  instead of blkg_lookup_create().

* blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
  read locked and blkg already looked up.  Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
  throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.

* cfq is similarly updated.  cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
  cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().

This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
retries under memory pressure.  In addition, this provides a common
bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
performed.

v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and
    !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING.

c9589f03e4 blk-throttle: improve queue bypass handling
If a queue is bypassing, all blkcg policies should become noops but
blk-throttle wasn't.  It only became noop if the queue was dying.
While this wouldn't lead to an oops as falling back to the root blkg
is safe in this case, this can be a bit surprising - a bypassing queue
could still be applying throttle limits.

Fix it by removing blk_queue_dying() test in throtl_lookup_create_tg()
and testing blk_queue_bypass() in blk_throtl_bio() and bypassing
before doing anything else.

24f290466f blkcg: inline [__]blkg_lookup()
blkg_lookup() checks whether the target queue is bypassing and, if
not, calls __blkg_lookup() which first checks the lookup hint and then

e4a9bde958 blkcg: replace blkcg_policy->cpd_size with ->cpd_alloc/free_fn() methods
Each active policy has a cpd (blkcg_policy_data) on each blkcg.  The
cpd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could request to
allocate extra space at the end by setting blkcg_policy->cpd_size
larger than the size of cpd.

This is a bit unusual but blkg (blkcg_gq) policy data used to be
handled this way too so it made sense to be consistent; however, blkg
policy data switched to alloc/free callbacks.

This patch makes similar changes to cpd handling.
blkcg_policy->cpd_alloc/free_fn() are added to replace ->cpd_size.  As
cpd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a
larger area which embeds cpd at the beginning.

As ->cpd_alloc_fn() may be able to perform all necessary
initializations, this patch makes ->cpd_init_fn() optional.

a9520cd6f2 blkcg: make blkcg_policy methods take a pointer to blkcg_policy_data
The newly added ->pd_alloc_fn() and ->pd_free_fn() deal with pd
(blkg_policy_data) while the older ones use blkg (blkcg_gq).  As using
blkg doesn't make sense for ->pd_alloc_fn() and after allocation pd
can always be mapped to blkg and given that these are policy-specific
methods, it makes sense to converge on pd.

This patch makes all methods deal with pd instead of blkg.  Most
conversions are trivial.  In blk-cgroup.c, a couple method invocation
sites now test whether pd exists instead of policy state for
consistency.  This shouldn't cause any behavioral differences.

4fb72036fb blk-throttle: remove asynchrnous percpu stats allocation mechanism

Now that percpu allocator can handle gfp_mask and blkg_policy_data
alloc / free are handled by policy methods, the ad-hoc asynchronous

tg_stats_alloc_fn().  Rit it out.

001bea73e7 blkcg: replace blkcg_policy->pd_size with ->pd_alloc/free_fn() methods
A blkg (blkcg_gq) represents the relationship between a cgroup and
request_queue.  Each active policy has a pd (blkg_policy_data) on each
blkg.  The pd's were allocated by blkcg core and each policy could
request to allocate extra space at the end by setting
blkcg_policy->pd_size larger than the size of pd.

This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error
handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way;
however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can
be allocated without blocking.

This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn()
and pd_free_fn() - which are used to allocate and release pd for a
given policy.  As pd allocation is now done from policy side, it can
simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning.  This
change makes ->pd_size pointless.  Removed.

4c55f4f9ad blkcg: restructure blkg_policy_data allocation in blkcg_activate_policy()
When a policy gets activated, it needs to allocate and install its
policy data on all existing blkg's (blkcg_gq's).  Because blkg
iteration is protected by a spinlock, it currently counts the total
number of blkg's in the system, allocates the matching number of
policy data on a list and installs them during a single iteration.

This can be simplified by using speculative GFP_NOWAIT allocations
while iterating and falling back to a preallocated policy data on
failure.  If the preallocated one has already been consumed, it
releases the lock, preallocate with GFP_KERNEL and then restarts the
iteration.  This can be a bit more expensive than before but policy
activation is a very cold path and shouldn't matter.

registration path will add policy data; otherwise, the alloc path
will.  The free path isn't never invoked for root csses.

60a837077e cfq-iosched: charge async IOs to the appropriate blkcg's instead of the root
Up until now, all async IOs were queued to async queues which are
shared across the whole request_queue, which means that blkcg resource
control is completely void on async IOs including all writeback IOs.
It was done this way because writeback didn't support writeback and
there was no way of telling which writeback IO belonged to which
cgroup; however, writeback recently became cgroup aware and writeback
bio's are sent down properly tagged with the blkcg's to charge them
against.

This patch makes async cfq_queues per-cfq_cgroup instead of
per-cfq_data so that each async IO is charged to the blkcg that it was
tagged for instead of unconditionally attributing it to root.

* cfq_data->async_cfqq and ->async_idle_cfqq are moved to cfq_group
  and alloc / destroy paths are updated accordingly.

* cfq_link_cfqq_cfqg() no longer overrides @cfqg to root for async

d4aad7ff04 cfq-iosched: fold cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue()
cfq_find_alloc_queue() checks whether a queue actually needs to be
allocated, which is unnecessary as its sole caller, cfq_get_queue(),
only calls it if so.  Also, the oom queue fallback logic is scattered
between cfq_get_queue() and cfq_find_alloc_queue().  There really
isn't much going on in the latter and things can be made simpler by
folding it into cfq_get_queue().

This patch collapses cfq_find_alloc_queue() into cfq_get_queue().  The
change is fairly straight-forward with one exception - async_cfqq is
now initialized to NULL and the "!is_sync" test in the last if
conditional is replaced with "async_cfqq" test.  This is because gcc
(5.1.1) gets confused for some reason and warns that async_cfqq may be
used uninitialized otherwise.  Oh well, the code isn't necessarily
worse this way.

This patch doesn't cause any functional difference.

v2: Updated to reflect GFP_ATOMIC -> GPF_NOWAIT.

322731ed0d cfq-iosched: move cfq_group determination from cfq_find_alloc_queue() to cfq_get_queue()
This is necessary for making async cfq_cgroups per-cfq_group instead
of per-cfq_data.  While this change makes cfq_get_queue() perform RCU
locking and look up cfq_group even when it reuses async queue, the
extra overhead is extremely unlikely to be noticeable given that this
is already sitting behind cic->cfqq[] cache and the overall cost of
cfq operation.

2da8de0bb7 cfq-iosched: remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue()
Even when allocations fail, cfq_find_alloc_queue() always returns a
valid cfq_queue by falling back to the oom cfq_queue.  As such, there
isn't much point in taking @gfp_mask and trying "harder" if __GFP_WAIT
is set.  GFP_NOWAIT allocations don't fail often and even when they do
the degraded behavior is acceptable and temporary.

After all, the only reason get_request(), which ultimately determines
the gfp_mask, cares about __GFP_WAIT is to guarantee request
allocation, assuming IO forward progress, for callers which are
willing to wait.  There's no reason for cfq_find_alloc_queue() to
behave differently on __GFP_WAIT when it already has a fallback
mechanism.

Remove @gfp_mask from cfq_find_alloc_queue() and propagate the changes
to its callers.  This simplifies the function quite a bit and will
help making async queues per-cfq_group.

d93a11f1cd blkcg, cfq-iosched: use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC for non-critical allocations
blkcg performs several allocations to track IOs per cgroup and enforce
resource control.  Most of these allocations are performed lazily on
demand in the IO path and thus can't involve reclaim path.  Currently,
these allocations use GFP_ATOMIC; however, blkcg can gracefully deal
with occassional failures of these allocations by punting IOs to the
root cgroup and there's no reason to reach into the emergency reserve.

This patch replaces GFP_ATOMIC with GFP_NOWAIT for the following
allocations.

* bdi_writeback_congested and blkcg_gq allocations in blkg_create().

* radix tree node allocations for blkcg->blkg_tree.

* cfq_queue allocation on ioprio changes.

bce6133b09 cfq-iosched: fix oom cfq_queue ref leak in cfq_set_request()
If the cfq_queue cached in cfq_io_cq is the oom one, cfq_set_request()
replaces it by invoking cfq_get_queue() again without putting the oom
queue leaking the reference it was holding.  While oom queues are not
released through reference counting, they're still reference counted
and this can theoretically lead to the reference count overflowing and
incorrectly invoke the usual release path on it.

Fix it by making cfq_set_request() put the ref it was holding.

95e5d6f626 cfq-iosched: fix async oom queue handling
Async cfqq's (cfq_queue's) are shared across cfq_data.  When
cfq_get_queue() obtains a new queue from cfq_find_alloc_queue(), it
stashes the pointer in cfq_data and reuses it from then on; however,
the function doesn't consider that cfq_find_alloc_queue() may return
the oom_cfqq under memory pressure and installs the returned queue
unconditionally.

If the oom_cfqq is installed as an async cfqq, cfq_set_request() will
continue calling cfq_get_queue() hoping to replace it with a proper
queue; however, cfq_get_queue() will keep returning the cached queue
for the slot - the oom_cfqq.

Fix it by skipping caching if the queue is the oom one.

installation if *async_cfqq was already non-NULL.  This is needlessly
complicated with different tests examining the same condition.

This fixes a data corruption bug when using discard on top of MD linear,
raid0 and raid10 personalities.

Commit 20d0189b10 "block: Introduce new bio_split()" permits sharing
the bio_vec between the two resulting bios. That is fine for read/write
requests where the bio_vec is immutable. For discards, however, we need
to be able to attach a payload and update the bio_vec so the page can
get mapped to a scatterlist entry. Therefore the bio_vec can not be
shared when splitting discards and we must do a full clone.

06b285bd11 blkcg: fix blkcg_policy_data allocation bug
e48453c386 ("block, cgroup: implement policy-specific per-blkcg
data") updated per-blkcg policy data to be dynamically allocated.
When a policy is registered, its policy data aren't created.  Instead,
when the policy is activated on a queue, the policy data are allocated
if there are blkg's (blkcg_gq's) which are attached to a given blkcg.
This is buggy.  Consider the following scenario.

1. A blkcg is created.  No blkg's attached yet.

2. The policy is registered.  No policy data is allocated.

3. The policy is activated on a queue.  As the above blkcg doesn't
   have any blkg's, it won't allocate the matching blkcg_policy_data.

4. An IO is issued from the blkcg and blkg is created and the blkcg
   still doesn't have the matching policy data allocated.

With cfq-iosched, this leads to an oops.

It also doesn't free policy data on policy unregistration assuming
that freeing of all policy data on blkcg destruction should take care
of it; however, this also is incorrect.

1. A blkcg has policy data.

2. The policy gets unregistered but the policy data remains.

3. Another policy gets registered on the same slot.

4. Later, the new policy tries to allocate policy data on the previous
   blkcg but the slot is already occupied and gets skipped.  The
   policy ends up operating on the policy data of the previous policy.

There's no reason to manage blkcg_policy_data lazily.  The reason we
do lazy allocation of blkg's is that the number of all possible blkg's
is the product of cgroups and block devices which can reach a
surprising level.  blkcg_policy_data is contrained by the number of
cgroups and shouldn't be a problem.

This patch makes blkcg_policy_data to be allocated for all existing
blkcg's on policy registration and freed on unregistration and removes
blkcg_policy_data handling from policy [de]activation paths.  This
makes that blkcg_policy_data are created and removed with the policy
they belong to and fixes the above described problems.

838f13bf4b blkcg: allow blkcg_pol_mutex to be grabbed from cgroup [file] methods
blkcg_pol_mutex primarily protects the blkcg_policy array.  It also
protects cgroup file type [un]registration during policy addition /
removal.  This puts blkcg_pol_mutex outside cgroup internal
synchronization and in turn makes it impossible to grab from blkcg's
cgroup methods as that leads to cyclic dependency.

Another problematic dependency arising from this is through cgroup
interface file deactivation.  Removing a cftype requires removing all
files of the type which in turn involves draining all on-going
invocations of the file methods.  This means that an interface file
implementation can't grab blkcg_pol_mutex as draining can lead to AA
deadlock.

blkcg_reset_stats() is already in this situation.  It currently
trylocks blkcg_pol_mutex and then unwinds and retries the whole
operation on failure, which is cumbersome at best.  It has a lengthy
comment explaining how cgroup internal synchronization is involved and
expected to be updated but as explained above this doesn't need cgroup
internal locking to deadlock.  It's a self-contained AA deadlock.

The described circular dependencies can be easily broken by moving
cftype [un]registration out of blkcg_pol_mutex and protect them with
an outer mutex.  This patch introduces blkcg_pol_register_mutex which
wraps entire policy [un]registration including cftype operations and
shrinks blkcg_pol_mutex critical section.  This also makes the trylock
dancing in blkcg_reset_stats() unnecessary.  Removed.

This patch is necessary for the following blkcg_policy_data allocation
bug fixes.

bb8bd38b9a bio integrity: do not assume bio_integrity_pool exists if bioset exists
bio_integrity_alloc() and bio_integrity_free() assume that if a bio was
allocated from a bioset that that bioset also had its bio_integrity_pool
allocated using bioset_integrity_create().  This is a very bad
assumption given that bioset_create() and bioset_integrity_create() are
completely disjoint.  Not all callers of bioset_create() have been
trained to also call bioset_integrity_create() -- and they may not care
to be.

Fix this by falling back to kmalloc'ing 'struct bio_integrity_payload'
rather than force all bioset consumers to (wastefully) preallocate a
bio_integrity_pool that they very likely won't actually need (given the
niche nature of the current block integrity support).

Otherwise, a NULL pointer "Kernel BUG" with a trace like the following

this change should not be pushed to mainline yet.

Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent
data corruption problem:
  https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-May/msg00229.html

And the new version still depends on LLDDs to always complete requests
to the end when error happens, while block API doesn't enforce such a
requirement. If the assumption is ever broken, the inconsistency between
request and bio (e.g. rq->__sector and rq->bio) will cause silent data
corruption:
