Tejun Heo ff9ea32381 block, bdi: an active gendisk always has a request_queue associated with it
bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the
specified block_device.  blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of
bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device.

All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including
blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return
NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires
the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk.
Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated
with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can
blk_get_backing_dev_info().

Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and
remove NULL handling from all the callers.

Joe Lawrence a492f07545 block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios
The blk_get_request function may fail in low-memory conditions or during
device removal (even if __GFP_WAIT is set). To distinguish between these
errors, modify the blk_get_request call stack to return the appropriate
ERR_PTR. Verify that all callers check the return status and consider
IS_ERR instead of a simple NULL pointer check.

For consistency, make a similar change to the blk_mq_alloc_request leg
of blk_get_request.  It may fail if the queue is dead, or the caller was
unwilling to wait.

Tony Battersby 6f4a16266f scsi-mq: fix requests that use a separate CDB buffer
This patch fixes code such as the following with scsi-mq enabled:

    rq = blk_get_request(...);
    blk_rq_set_block_pc(rq);

    rq->cmd = my_cmd_buffer; /* separate CDB buffer */

    blk_execute_rq_nowait(...);

Code like this appears in e.g. sg_start_req() in drivers/scsi/sg.c (for
large CDBs only).  Without this patch, scsi_mq_prep_fn() will set
rq->cmd back to rq->__cmd, causing the wrong CDB to be sent to the device.

Tejun Heo 780db2071a blk-mq: decouble blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing
blk_mq freezing is entangled with generic bypassing which bypasses
blkcg and io scheduler and lets IO requests fall through the block
layer to the drivers in FIFO order.  This allows forward progress on
IOs with the advanced features disabled so that those features can be
configured or altered without worrying about stalling IO which may
lead to deadlock through memory allocation.

However, generic bypassing doesn't quite fit blk-mq.  blk-mq currently
doesn't make use of blkcg or ioscheds and it maps bypssing to
freezing, which blocks request processing and drains all the in-flight
ones.  This causes problems as bypassing assumes that request
processing is online.  blk-mq works around this by conditionally
allowing request processing for the problem case - during queue
initialization.

Another weirdity is that except for during queue cleanup, bypassing
started on the generic side prevents blk-mq from processing new
requests but doesn't drain the in-flight ones.  This shouldn't break
anything but again highlights that something isn't quite right here.

The root cause is conflating blk-mq freezing and generic bypassing
which are two different mechanisms.  The only intersecting purpose
that they serve is during queue cleanup.  Let's properly separate
blk-mq freezing from generic bypassing and simply use it where
necessary.

* request_queue->mq_freeze_depth is added and
  blk_mq_[un]freeze_queue() now operate on this counter instead of
  ->bypass_depth.  The replacement for QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS isn't added
  but the counter is tested directly.  This will be further updated by
  later changes.

* blk_mq_drain_queue() is dropped and "__" prefix is dropped from
  blk_mq_freeze_queue().  Queue cleanup path now calls
  blk_mq_freeze_queue() directly.

* blk_queue_enter()'s fast path condition is simplified to simply
  check @q->mq_freeze_depth.  Previously, the condition was

	!blk_queue_dying(q) &&
	    (!blk_queue_bypass(q) || !blk_queue_init_done(q))

  mq_freeze_depth is incremented right after dying is set and
  blk_queue_init_done() exception isn't necessary as blk-mq doesn't
  start frozen, which only leaves the blk_queue_bypass() test which
  can be replaced by @q->mq_freeze_depth test.

This change simplifies the code and reduces confusion in the area.

Tejun Heo 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.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A smaller collection of fixes for the block core that would be nice to
  have in -rc2.  This pull request contains:

   - Fixes for races in the wait/wakeup logic used in blk-mq from
     Alexander.  No issues have been observed, but it is definitely a
     bit flakey currently.  Alternatively, we may drop the cyclic
     wakeups going forward, but that needs more testing.

   - Some cleanups from Christoph.

   - Fix for an oops in null_blk if queue_mode=1 and softirq completions
     are used.  From me.

   - A fix for a regression caused by the chunk size setting.  It
     inadvertently used max_hw_sectors instead of max_sectors, which is
     incorrect, and causes hangs on btrfs multi-disk setups (where hw
     sectors apparently isn't set).  From me.

   - Removal of WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT in the kblockd creation.  This was a
     recent addition as well, but it actually breaks blk-mq which relies
     on strict scheduling.  If the workqueue power_efficient mode is
     turned on, this breaks blk-mq.  From Matias.

Matias Bjørling 28747fcd22 block: remove WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT from kblockd
blk-mq issues async requests through kblockd. To issue a work request on
a specific CPU, kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on is used. However, the
specific CPU choice may not be honored, if the power_efficient option
for workqueues is set. blk-mq requires that we have strict per-cpu
scheduling, so it wont work properly if kblockd is marked
POWER_EFFICIENT and power_efficient is set.

Remove the kblockd WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT flag to prevent this behavior.
This essentially reverts part of commit 695588f945, which added
the WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT marker to kblockd.

Martin bisected and found this to be the problem patch;

	commit 6d113398dc
	Author: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>
	Date:   Mon Feb 24 16:39:54 2014 +0100

	    block: Stop abusing rq->csd.list in blk-softirq

and the problem was immediately apparent. The patch states that
it is safe to reuse queuelist at completion time, since it is
no longer used. However, that is not true if a device is using
block enabled tagging. If that is the case, then the queuelist
is reused to keep track of busy tags. If a device also ended
up using softirq completions, we'd reuse ->queuelist for the
IPI handling while block tagging was still using it. Boom.

Fix this by adding a new ipi_list list head, and share the
memory used with the request hash table. The hash table is
never used after the request is moved to the dispatch list,
which happens long before any potential completion of the
request. Add a new request bit for this, so we don't have
cases that check rq->hash while it could potentially have
been reused for the IPI completion.

Mike Snitzer 7982e90c3a block: fix q->flush_rq NULL pointer crash on dm-mpath flush
Commit 1874198 ("blk-mq: rework flush sequencing logic") switched
->flush_rq from being an embedded member of the request_queue structure
to being dynamically allocated in blk_init_queue_node().

Request-based DM multipath doesn't use blk_init_queue_node(), instead it
uses blk_alloc_queue_node() + blk_init_allocated_queue().  Because
commit 1874198 placed the dynamic allocation of ->flush_rq in
blk_init_queue_node() any flush issued to a dm-mpath device would crash
with a NULL pointer, e.g.:

Fix this by moving the ->flush_rq allocation from blk_init_queue_node()
to blk_init_allocated_queue().  blk_init_queue_node() also calls
blk_init_allocated_queue() so this change is functionality equivalent
for all blk_init_queue_node() callers.

Roman Pen af5040da01 blktrace: fix accounting of partially completed requests
trace_block_rq_complete does not take into account that request can
be partially completed, so we can get the following incorrect output
of blkparser:

  C   R 232 + 240 [0]
  C   R 240 + 232 [0]
  C   R 248 + 224 [0]
  C   R 256 + 216 [0]

but should be:

  C   R 232 + 8 [0]
  C   R 240 + 8 [0]
  C   R 248 + 8 [0]
  C   R 256 + 8 [0]

Also, the whole output summary statistics of completed requests and
final throughput will be incorrect.

This patch takes into account real completion size of the request and
fixes wrong completion accounting.

Christoph Hellwig 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"

Alireza Haghdoost 23779fbc99 block: Enable sysfs nomerge control for I/O requests in the plug list
This patch enables the sysfs to control I/O request merge
functionality in the plug list. While this control has been
implemented for the request queue, it was dismissed in the plug list.
Therefore, block layer merges requests together (or attempt to merge)
even if the merge capability was disable using sysfs nomerge parameter
value 2.

This limitation is directly affects functionality of io_submit()
system call. The system call enables user to submit a bunch of IO
requests from user space using struct iocb **ios input argument.
However, the unconditioned merging functionality in the plug list
potentially merges these requests together down the road. Therefore,
there is no way to distinguish between an application sending bunch of
sequential IOs and an application sending one big IO. Ultimately, all
requests generated by the former app merge within the plug list
together and looks similar to the second app.

While the merging functionality is a desirable feature to improve the
performance of IO subsystem for some applications, it is not useful
for other application like ours at all.

This is caused by a race between md device initialization by multipathd and
shell script to switch the scheduler using sysfs.

 - multipathd:
   SyS_ioctl -> do_vfs_ioctl -> dm_ctl_ioctl -> ctl_ioctl -> table_load
   -> dm_setup_md_queue -> blk_init_allocated_queue -> elevator_init
    q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, e); // not yet initialized

 - sh -c 'echo deadline > /sys/$DEVPATH/queue/scheduler':
   elevator_switch (in the call trace above)
    struct elevator_queue *old = q->elevator;
    q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, new_e);
    elevator_exit(old);                 // lockup! (*)

 - multipathd: (cont.)
    err = e->ops.elevator_init_fn(q);   // init fails; q->elevator is modified

(*) When del_timer_sync() is called, lock_timer_base() will loop infinitely
while timer->base == NULL. In this case, as timer will never initialized,
it results in lockup.

This patch introduces acquisition of q->sysfs_lock around elevator_init()
into blk_init_allocated_queue(), to provide mutual exclusion between
initialization of the q->scheduler and switching of the scheduler.

This should fix this bugzilla:

 RSP <ffff881057eefd60>

The RIP is this line:
        BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq));

After digging through the code, I think there may be a race between the
request completion and the timer handler running.

A timer is started for each request put on the device's queue (see
blk_start_request->blk_add_timer).  If the request does not complete
before the timer expires, the timer handler (blk_rq_timed_out_timer)
will mark the request complete atomically:

static inline int blk_mark_rq_complete(struct request *rq)
{
        return test_and_set_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE, &rq->atomic_flags);
}

and then call blk_rq_timed_out.  The latter function will call
scsi_times_out, which will return one of BLK_EH_HANDLED,
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER or BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED.  If BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER is
returned, blk_clear_rq_complete is called, and blk_add_timer is again
called to simply wait longer for the request to complete.

Now, if the request happens to complete while this is going on, what
happens?  Given that we know the completion handler will bail if it
finds the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE bit set, we need to focus on the completion
handler running after that bit is cleared.  So, from the above
paragraph, after the call to blk_clear_rq_complete.  If the completion
sets REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE before the BUG_ON in blk_add_timer, we go boom
there (I haven't seen this in the cores).  Next, if we get the
completion before the call to list_add_tail, then the timer will
eventually fire for an old req, which may either be freed or reallocated
(there is evidence that this might be the case).  Finally, if the
completion comes in *after* the addition to the timeout list, I think
it's harmless.  The request will be removed from the timeout list,
req_atom_complete will be set, and all will be well.

This will only actually explain the coredumps *IF* the request
structure was freed, reallocated *and* queued before the error handler
thread had a chance to process it.  That is possible, but it may make
sense to keep digging for another race.  I think that if this is what
was happening, we would see other instances of this problem showing up
as null pointer or garbage pointer dereferences, for example when the
request structure was not re-used.  It looks like we actually do run
into that situation in other reports.

This patch moves the BUG_ON(test_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE,
&req->atomic_flags)); from blk_add_timer to the only caller that could
trip over it (blk_start_request).  It then inverts the calls to
blk_clear_rq_complete and blk_add_timer in blk_rq_timed_out to address
the race.  I've boot tested this patch, but nothing more.

Christoph Hellwig 3228f48be2 blk-mq: fix for flush deadlock
The flush state machine takes in a struct request, which then is
submitted multiple times to the underling driver.  The old block code
requeses the same request for each of those, so it does not have an
issue with tapping into the request pool.  The new one on the other hand
allocates a new request for each of the actualy steps of the flush
sequence. If have already allocated all of the tags for IO, we will
fail allocating the flush request.

Set aside a reserved request just for flushes.

Jens Axboe 320ae51fee blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism
Linux currently has two models for block devices:

- The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
  request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
  functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
  management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.

- The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
  block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
  driver generally have to manage everything themselves.

With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
per device.

The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
that the shared approach solved.

This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.

blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:

- Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
  be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
  to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
  tags, to enable cache hot reuse.

- Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
  basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
  if a request happens to fail.

- Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
  submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
  desired location.

- Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
  to associate a request structure with some driver private
  command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
  and then any request handed to the driver will have the
  required size of memory associated with it.

- Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
  gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
  sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
  increases bandwidth.

For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
devices (as it was originally intended).

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
  custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
  changes necessary at this point.

  The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
  per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
  param whose default can be configured via a config option.  This leads
  to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
  bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
  certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
  big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.

  This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
  perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
  them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
  less effective.

  Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
  configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
  automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
  workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
  configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

transport errors in SCSI. And the 'steal lock' function maps
roughly to a reservation error. So we should be returning the
appropriate error codes when completing a request.

Aaron Lu c60855cdb9 blkpm: avoid sleep when holding queue lock
In blk_post_runtime_resume, an autosuspend request will be initiated for
the device. Since we are holding the queue lock, we can't sleep and thus
we should use the async version to initiate an autosuspend, i.e.
pm_request_suspend instead of pm_runtime_suspend, which might sleep.

Viresh Kumar 695588f945 block: queue work on power efficient wq
Block layer uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency
of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.

This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.

This reverts commit 3a366e614d.

Wanlong Gao reports that it causes a kernel panic on his machine several
minutes after boot. Reverting it removes the panic.

Jens says:
 "It's not quite clear why that is yet, so I think we should just revert
  the commit for 3.9 final (which I'm assuming is pretty close).

  The wifi is crap at the LSF hotel, so sending this email instead of

Kent Overstreet f79ea41614 block: Refactor blk_update_request()
Converts it to use bio_advance(), simplifying it quite a bit in the
process.

Note that req_bio_endio() now always calls bio_advance() - which means
it always loops over the biovec, not just on partial completions. Don't
expect it to affect performance, but worth noting.

Tested it by forcing partial updates, and dumping before and after on
various bio/bvec fields when doing a partial update.

Darrick J. Wong ffecfd1a72 block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during write
This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without
needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling
schemes of jbd2.  The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot
page contents instead of waiting.

For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking
(which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and
setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock
dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude.  If we're
going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the
complaints about high latency will likely return.  We might as well
centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

Tejun Heo 3a366e614d block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint
bio completion didn't kick block_bio_complete TP.  Only dm was
explicitly triggering the TP on IO completion.  This makes
block_bio_complete TP useless for tracers which want to know about
bios, and all other bio based drivers skip generating blktrace
completion events.

This patch makes all bio completions via bio_endio() generate
block_bio_complete TP.

* Explicit trace_block_bio_complete() invocation removed from dm and
  the trace point is unexported.

* @rq dropped from trace_block_bio_complete().  bios may fly around
  w/o queue associated.  Verifying and accessing the assocaited queue
  belongs to TP probes.

* blktrace now gets both request and bio completions.  Make it ignore
  bio completions if request completion path is happening.

This makes all bio based drivers generate blktrace completion events
properly and makes the block_bio_complete TP actually useful.

v2: With this change, block_bio_complete TP could be invoked on sg
    commands which have bio's with %NULL bi_bdev.  Update TP
    assignment code to check whether bio->bi_bdev is %NULL before
    dereferencing.

Some request_fn implementations, e.g. scsi_request_fn(), unlock

executing request_fn for the same queue simultaneously. Keep
track of the number of active request_fn calls and make sure that
blk_cleanup_queue() waits until all active request_fn invocations
have finished. A block driver may start cleaning up resources
needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished,
so blk_cleanup_queue() must wait for all outstanding request_fn

Running a queue must continue after it has been marked dying until
it has been marked dead. So the function blk_run_queue_async() must
not schedule delayed work after blk_cleanup_queue() has marked a queue
dead. Hence add a test for that queue state in blk_run_queue_async()
and make sure that queue_unplugged() invokes that function with the
queue lock held. This avoids that the queue state can change after
it has been tested and before mod_delayed_work() is invoked. Drop
the queue dying test in queue_unplugged() since it is now
superfluous: __blk_run_queue() already tests whether or not the
queue is dead.

Because the bio order is:

The bio(7493144) first and bio(7493120) later.So the subsequent
bios will be divided into two parts.
When flushing plug-list,because elv_attempt_insert_merge only support
backmerge,not supporting frontmerge.
So rq[7493120 + 24] can't merge with rq[7493144 + 104].

From my test,i found those situation can count 25% in our system.
Using this patch, there is no this situation.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

A queue newly allocated with blk_alloc_queue_node() has only
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set.  For request-based drivers,

initial bypass is still in effect.

Tejun Heo 749fefe677 block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of blk_init_allocated_queue()
b82d4b197c ("blkcg: make request_queue bypassing on allocation") made
request_queues bypassed on allocation to avoid switching on and off
bypass mode on a queue being initialized.  Some drivers allocate and
then destroy a lot of queues without fully initializing them and
incurring bypass latency overhead on each of them could add upto
significant overhead.

Unfortunately, blk_init_allocated_queue() is never used by queues of
bio-based drivers, which means that all bio-based driver queues are in
bypass mode even after initialization and registration complete
successfully.

Due to the limited way request_queues are used by bio drivers, this
problem is hidden pretty well but it shows up when blk-throttle is
used in combination with a bio-based driver.  Trying to configure
(echoing to cgroupfs file) blk-throttle for a bio-based driver hangs
indefinitely in blkg_conf_prep() waiting for bypass mode to end.

This patch moves the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() call from
blk_init_allocated_queue() to blk_register_queue() which is called for
any userland-visible queues regardless of its type.

I believe this is correct because I don't think there is any block
driver which needs or wants working elevator and blk-cgroup on a queue
which isn't visible to userland.  If there are such users, we need a
different solution.

Yi Zou 37d7b34f05 block: rate-limit the error message from failing commands
When performing a cable pull test w/ active stress I/O using fio over
a dual port Intel 82599 FCoE CNA, w/ 256LUNs on one port and about 32LUNs
on the other, it is observed that the system becomes not usable due to
scsi-ml being busy printing the error messages for all the failing commands.
I don't believe this problem is specific to FCoE and these commands are
anyway failing due to link being down (DID_NO_CONNECT), just rate-limit
the messages here to solve this issue.

v2->v1: use __ratelimit() as Tomas Henzl mentioned as the proper way for
rate-limit per function. However, in this case, the failed i/o gets to
blk_end_request_err() and then blk_update_request(), which also has to
be rate-limited, as added in the v2 of this patch.

Tejun Heo a051661ca6 blkcg: implement per-blkg request allocation
Currently, request_queue has one request_list to allocate requests
from regardless of blkcg of the IO being issued.  When the unified
request pool is used up, cfq proportional IO limits become meaningless
- whoever grabs the next request being freed wins the race regardless
of the configured weights.

This can be easily demonstrated by creating a blkio cgroup w/ very low
weight, put a program which can issue a lot of random direct IOs there
and running a sequential IO from a different cgroup.  As soon as the
request pool is used up, the sequential IO bandwidth crashes.

This patch implements per-blkg request_list.  Each blkg has its own
request_list and any IO allocates its request from the matching blkg
making blkcgs completely isolated in terms of request allocation.

* Root blkcg uses the request_list embedded in each request_queue,
  which was renamed to @q->root_rl from @q->rq.  While making blkcg rl
  handling a bit harier, this enables avoiding most overhead for root
  blkcg.

* Queue fullness is properly per request_list but bdi isn't blkcg
  aware yet, so congestion state currently just follows the root
  blkcg.  As writeback isn't aware of blkcg yet, this works okay for
  async congestion but readahead may get the wrong signals.  It's
  better than blkcg completely collapsing with shared request_list but
  needs to be improved with future changes.

* After this change, each block cgroup gets a full request pool making
  resource consumption of each cgroup higher.  This makes allowing
  non-root users to create cgroups less desirable; however, note that
  allowing non-root users to directly manage cgroups is already
  severely broken regardless of this patch - each block cgroup
  consumes kernel memory and skews IO weight (IO weights are not
  hierarchical).

v2: queue-sysfs.txt updated and patch description udpated as suggested
    by Vivek.

v3: blk_get_rl() wasn't checking error return from
    blkg_lookup_create() and may cause oops on lookup failure.  Fix it
    by falling back to root_rl on blkg lookup failures.  This problem
    was spotted by Rakesh Iyer <rni@google.com>.

v4: Updated to accomodate 458f27a982 "block: Avoid missed wakeup in
    request waitqueue".  blk_drain_queue() now wakes up waiters on all
    blkg->rl on the target queue.

Request allocation is about to be made per-blkg meaning that there'll
be multiple request lists.

* Make queue full state per request_list.  blk_*queue_full() functions
  are renamed to blk_*rl_full() and takes @rl instead of @q.

* Rename blk_init_free_list() to blk_init_rl() and make it take @rl
  instead of @q.  Also add @gfp_mask parameter.

* Add blk_exit_rl() instead of destroying rl directly from
  blk_release_queue().

* Add request_list->q and make request alloc/free functions -
  blk_free_request(), [__]freed_request(), __get_request() - take @rl
  instead of @q.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

Block layer very lazy allocation of ioc.  It waits until the moment
ioc is absolutely necessary; unfortunately, that time could be inside
queue lock and __get_request() performs unlock - try alloc - retry

Just allocate it up-front on entry to block layer.  We're not saving

Tejun Heo a06e05e6af block: refactor get_request[_wait]()
Currently, there are two request allocation functions - get_request()
and get_request_wait().  The former tries to allocate a request once
and the latter keeps retrying until it succeeds.  The latter wraps the
former and keeps retrying until allocation succeeds.

The combination of two functions deliver fallible non-wait allocation,
fallible wait allocation and unfailing wait allocation.  However,
given that forward progress is guaranteed, fallible wait allocation
isn't all that useful and in fact nobody uses it.

This patch simplifies the interface as follows.

* get_request() is renamed to __get_request() and is only used by the
  wrapper function.

* get_request_wait() is renamed to get_request().  It now takes
  @gfp_mask and retries iff it contains %__GFP_WAIT.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change and is to prepare
for further updates to request allocation path.

Asias He 5e5cfac0c6 block: Mitigate lock unbalance caused by lock switching
Commit 777eb1bf15 disconnects externally
supplied queue_lock before blk_drain_queue(). Switching the lock would
introduce lock unbalance because theads which have taken the external
lock might unlock the internal lock in the during the queue drain. This
patch mitigate this by disconnecting the lock after the queue draining
since queue draining makes a lot of request_queue users go away.

However, please note, this patch only makes the problem less likely to
happen. Anyone who still holds a ref might try to issue a new request on
a dead queue after the blk_cleanup_queue() finishes draining, the lock
unbalance might still happen in this case.

Asias He 458f27a982 block: Avoid missed wakeup in request waitqueue
After hot-unplug a stressed disk, I found that rl->wait[] is not empty
while rl->count[] is empty and there are theads still sleeping on
get_request after the queue cleanup. With simple debug code, I found
there are exactly nr_sleep - nr_wakeup of theads in D state. So there
are missed wakeup.

  $ dmesg | grep nr_sleep
  [   52.917115] ---> nr_sleep=1046, nr_wakeup=873, delta=173
  $ vmstat 1
  1 173  0 712640  24292  96172 0 0  0  0  419  757  0  0  0 100  0

To quote Tejun:

  Ah, okay, freed_request() wakes up single waiter with the assumption
  that after the wakeup there will at least be one successful allocation
  which in turn will continue the wakeup chain until the wait list is
  empty - ie. waiter wakeup is dependent on successful request
  allocation happening after each wakeup.  With queue marked dead, any
  woken up waiter fails the allocation path, so the wakeup chaining is
  lost and we're left with hung waiters. What we need is wake_up_all()
  after drain completion.

This patch fixes the missed wakeup by waking up all the theads which
are sleeping on wait queue after queue drain.

Tejun Heo aaf7c68068 block: fix elvpriv allocation failure handling
Request allocation is mempool backed to guarantee forward progress
under memory pressure; unfortunately, this property got broken while
adding elvpriv data.  Failures during elvpriv allocation, including
ioc and icq creation failures, currently make get_request() fail as
whole.  There's no forward progress guarantee for these allocations -
they may fail indefinitely under memory pressure stalling IO and
deadlocking the system.

This patch updates get_request() such that elvpriv allocation failure
doesn't make the whole function fail.  If elvpriv allocation fails,
the allocation is degraded into !ELVPRIV.  This will force the request
to ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK disturbing scheduling but elvpriv alloc
failures should be rare (nothing is per-request) and anything is
better than deadlocking.

Tejun Heo b82d4b197c blkcg: make request_queue bypassing on allocation
With the previous change to guarantee bypass visiblity for RCU read
lock regions, entering bypass mode involves non-trivial overhead and
future changes are scheduled to make use of bypass mode during init
path.  Combined it may end up adding noticeable delay during boot.

This patch makes request_queue start its life in bypass mode, which is
ended on queue init completion at the end of
blk_init_allocated_queue(), and updates blk_queue_bypass_start() such
that draining and RCU synchronization are performed only when the
queue actually enters bypass mode.

This avoids unnecessarily switching in and out of bypass mode during
init avoiding the overhead and any nasty surprises which may step from
leaving bypass mode on half-initialized queues.

The boot time overhead was pointed out by Vivek.

Shaohua Li 1b2e19f17e block: make auto block plug flush threshold per-disk based
We do auto block plug flush to reduce latency, the threshold is 16
requests. This works well if the task is accessing one or two drives.
The problem is if the task is accessing a raid 0 device and the raid
disk number is big, say 8 or 16, 16/8 = 2 or 16/16=1, we will have
heavy lock contention.

This patch makes the threshold per-disk based. The latency should be
still ok accessing one or two drives. The setup with application
accessing a lot of drives in the meantime uaually is big machine,
avoiding lock contention is more important, because any contention

Tejun Heo 852c788f83 block: implement bio_associate_current()
IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context
and cgroup of %current.  Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need
to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup
limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly.

For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a
delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task
which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block
cgroup.  This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up
in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio
together impossible.

Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is
getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs).  As both io_context and
cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to
manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios.

This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the
specified bio with %current.  The bio will record the associated ioc
and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones
regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio.  bio
release puts the associated ioc and blkcg.

It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself
because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making
ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about.

elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being
allocated for is available to the elevator.

This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet.  Further patches will
implement the support.

Tejun Heo e8989fae38 blkcg: unify blkg's for blkcg policies
Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination.  This is
unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used
duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management
of blkgs.

This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all
policies.  blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper.
This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into
blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering.

As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and
policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot
down during elvswitch and bypass.  This patch adds blkg_root_update()
to update root blkg in place on policy change.  This is hacky and racy
but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking
simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs.

-v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc()
     comment wasn't updated according to the function change.  Fixed.
     Both pointed out by Vivek.

-v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for
     all policies.  This freed root pd during elvswitch before the
     last queue finished exiting and led to oops.  Directly invoke
     update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from
     cfq_exit_queue().  This also is closer to what will be done with
     proper in-place blkg update.  Reported by Vivek.

Tejun Heo f51b802c17 blkcg: use the usual get blkg path for root blkio_group
For root blkg, blk_throtl_init() was using throtl_alloc_tg()
explicitly and cfq_init_queue() was manually initializing embedded
cfqd->root_group, adding unnecessarily different code paths to blkg
handling.

Make both use the usual blkio_group get functions - throtl_get_tg()
and cfq_get_cfqg() - for the root blkio_group too.  Note that
blk_throtl_init() callsite is pushed downwards in
blk_alloc_queue_node() so that @q is sufficiently initialized for
throtl_get_tg().

This simplifies root blkg handling noticeably for cfq and will allow
further modularization of blkcg API.

-v2: Vivek pointed out that using cfq_get_cfqg() won't work if
     CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED is disabled.  Fix it by factoring out
     initialization of base part of cfqg into cfq_init_cfqg_base() and
     alloc/init/free explicitly if !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

q->elevator doesn't exist; however, bio based drivers don't have
elevator initialized but can still use blk-throttle.  This patch moves
q->elevator test inside blk_drain_queue() such that only
elv_drain_elevator() is skipped if !q->elevator.

-v2: loop can have registered queue which has NULL request_fn.  Make
     sure we don't call into __blk_run_queue() in such cases.

Tejun Heo 07c2bd3735 block: don't call elevator callbacks for plug merges
Plug merge calls two elevator callbacks outside queue lock -
elevator_allow_merge_fn() and elevator_bio_merged_fn().  Although
attempt_plug_merge() suggests that elevator is guaranteed to be there
through the existing request on the plug list, nothing prevents plug
merge from calling into dying or initializing elevator.

For regular merges, bypass ensures elvpriv count to reach zero, which
in turn prevents merges as all !ELVPRIV requests get REQ_SOFTBARRIER
from forced back insertion.  Plug merge doesn't check ELVPRIV, and, as
the requests haven't gone through elevator insertion yet, it doesn't
have SOFTBARRIER set allowing merges on a bypassed queue.

This, for example, leads to the following crash during elevator
switch.

There are multiple ways to fix this including making plug merge check
ELVPRIV; however,

* Calling into elevator outside queue lock is confusing and
  error-prone.

* Requests on plug list aren't known to the elevator.  They aren't on
  the elevator yet, so there's no elevator specific state to update.

* Given the nature of plug merges - collecting bio's for the same
  purpose from the same issuer - elevator specific restrictions aren't
  applicable.

So, simply don't call into elevator methods from plug merge by moving
elv_bio_merged() from bio_attempt_*_merge() to blk_queue_bio(), and
using blk_try_merge() in attempt_plug_merge().

This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from
plug merge.

Note that this makes per-cgroup merged stats skip plug merging.

Tejun Heo 050c8ea80e block: separate out blk_rq_merge_ok() and blk_try_merge() from elevator functions
blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility
test.  blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the
caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously.

elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls
elv_iosched_allow_merge().  elv_try_merge() is removed and the two
callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by
blk_try_merge().  While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return
bool.

This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any
behavior change.

This is based on Jens' patch to skip elevator_allow_merge_fn() from
plug merge.

Tejun Heo 11a3122f6c block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()
put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
deferring ioc release to workqueue.  It was also broken on UP because
trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
preemption count.

While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
optimization.  Strip it out.  If there turns out to be workloads which
are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion
thread can be applied later.

Once a queue is quiesced, it's not supposed to have any elvpriv data or
icq's, and elevator switching depends on that.  Request alloc path
followed the rule for elvpriv data but forgot apply it to icq's
leading to the following crash during elevator switch. Fix it by not
allocating icq's if ELVPRIV is not set for the request.

Tejun Heo f1f8cc9465 block, cfq: move icq creation and rq->elv.icq association to block core
Now block layer knows everything necessary to create and associate
icq's with requests.  Move ioc_create_icq() to blk-ioc.c and update
get_request() such that, if elevator_type->icq_size is set, requests
are automatically associated with their matching icq's before
elv_set_request().  io_context reference is also managed by block core
on request alloc/free.

* Only ioprio/cgroup changed handling remains from cfq_get_cic().
  Collapsed into cfq_set_request().

* This removes queue kicking on icq allocation failure (for now).  As
  icq allocation failure is rare and the only effect of queue kicking
  achieved was possibily accelerating queue processing, this change
  shouldn't be noticeable.

  There is a larger underlying problem.  Unlike request allocation,
  icq allocation is not guaranteed to succeed eventually after
  retries.  The number of icq is unbound and thus mempool can't be the
  solution either.  This effectively adds allocation dependency on
  memory free path and thus possibility of deadlock.

  This usually wouldn't happen because icq allocation is not a hot
  path and, even when the condition triggers, it's highly unlikely
  that none of the writeback workers already has icq.

  However, this is still possible especially if elevator is being
  switched under high memory pressure, so we better get it fixed.
  Probably the only solution is just bypassing elevator and appending
  to dispatch queue on any elevator allocation failure.

* Comment added to explain how icq's are managed and synchronized.

This completes cleanup of io_context interface.

Tejun Heo f2dbd76a0a block, cfq: replace current_io_context() with create_io_context()
When called under queue_lock, current_io_context() triggers lockdep
warning if it hits allocation path.  This is because io_context
installation is protected by task_lock which is not IRQ safe, so it
triggers irq-unsafe-lock -> irq -> irq-safe-lock -> irq-unsafe-lock
deadlock warning.

Given the restriction, accessor + creator rolled into one doesn't work
too well.  Drop current_io_context() and let the users access
task->io_context directly inside queue_lock combined with explicit
creation using create_io_context().

Future ioc updates will further consolidate ioc access and the create
interface will be unexported.

While at it, relocate ioc internal interface declarations in blk.h and
add section comments before and after.

The only user left for blk_insert_request() is sx8 and it can be
trivially switched to use blk_execute_rq_nowait() - special requests
aren't included in io stat and sx8 doesn't use block layer tagging.
Switch sx8 and kill blk_insert_requeset().

This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

Only compile tested.

Mike Snitzer 5151412dd4 block: initialize request_queue's numa node during
struct request_queue is allocated with __GFP_ZERO so its "node" field is
zero before initialization.  This causes an oops if node 0 is offline in
the page allocator because its zonelists are not initialized.  From Dave
Young's dmesg:

and __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xb5 translates to a NULL pointer on
zonelist->_zonerefs.

The fix is to initialize q->node at the time of allocation so the correct
node is passed to the slab allocator later.

Since blk_init_allocated_queue_node() is no longer needed, merge it with
blk_init_allocated_queue().

Jeff Moyer e67b77c791 blk-flush: move the queue kick into
A dm-multipath user reported[1] a problem when trying to boot
a kernel with commit 4853abaae7
(block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring
flush flags) applied.  It turns out that an empty flush request
can be sent into blk_insert_flush.  When the BUG_ON was fixed
to allow for this, I/O on the underlying device would stall.  The
reason is that blk_insert_cloned_request does not kick the queue.
In the aforementioned commit, I had added a special case to
kick the queue if data was sent down but the queue flags did
not require a flush.  A better solution is to push the queue
kick up into blk_insert_cloned_request.

This patch, along with a follow-on which fixes the BUG_ON, fixes
the issue reported.

Tao Ma 9562ad9ab3 block: Remove the control of complete cpu from bio.
bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but
it is broken.

Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the
discussions lately pretty obviously broken.  The only thing keeping
it serves is creating more confusion and possibly more bugs."

And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine
with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the
only ones that can toggle the setting anyway".

So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu

Tejun Heo c9a929dde3 block: fix request_queue lifetime handling by making blk_queue_cleanup() properly shutdown
request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime
management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer
expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no
new one will.

This is fundamentally broken.  The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer)
doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before
calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any
guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a
reference.

With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the
following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with
in-flight IOs.

This happens because blk_queue_cleanup() destroys the queue and
elevator whether IOs are in progress or not and DEAD tests are
sprinkled in the request processing path without proper
synchronization.

Similar problem exists for blk-throtl.  On queue cleanup, blk-throtl
is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not.  Depending on
timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks
which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state.

The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between
shutdown and release.  Shutdown drains all currently pending requests,
marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now
unnecessary part of the queue.  Even after shutdown is complete,
reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue
although they will be immmediately failed.  The rest of teardown
happens on release.

This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup()
behave as proper shutdown.

* QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and
  queue_lock.

* Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed.
  This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die
  after the check.

* blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is
  now called during cleanup.

* blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock,
  drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is
  released.

attempt_plug_merge() accesses elevator without holding queue_lock and
may call into ->elevator_bio_merge_fn().  The elvator is guaranteed to
be valid because it's accessed iff the plugged list has requests and
elevator is never exited with live requests, so as long as the
elevator method can deal with unlocked access, this is safe.

Tejun Heo da8303c63b block: make get_request[_wait]() fail if queue is dead
Currently get_request[_wait]() allocates request whether queue is dead
or not.  This patch makes get_request[_wait]() return NULL if @q is
dead.  blk_queue_bio() is updated to fail the submitted bio if request
allocation fails.  While at it, add docbook comments for
get_request[_wait]().

Note that the current code has rather unclear (there are spurious DEAD
tests scattered around) assumption that the owner of a queue
guarantees that no request travels block layer if the queue is dead
and this patch in itself doesn't change much; however, this will allow
fixing the broken assumption in the next patch.

Tejun Heo bc16a4f933 block: reorganize throtl_get_tg() and blk_throtl_bio()
blk_throtl_bio() and throtl_get_tg() have rather unusual interface.

* throtl_get_tg() returns pointer to a valid tg or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV),
  and drops queue_lock in the latter case.  Different locking context
  depending on return value is error-prone and DEAD state is scheduled
  to be protected by queue_lock anyway.  Move DEAD check inside
  queue_lock and return valid tg or NULL.

* blk_throtl_bio() indicates return status both with its return value
  and in/out param **@bio.  The former is used to indicate whether
  queue is found to be dead during throtl processing.  The latter
  whether the bio is throttled.

  There's no point in returning DEAD check result from
  blk_throtl_bio().  The queue can die after blk_throtl_bio() is
  finished but before make_request_fn() grabs queue lock.

  Make it take *@bio instead and return boolean result indicating
  whether the request is throttled or not.

Hannes Reinecke 777eb1bf15 block: Free queue resources at blk_release_queue()
A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is
physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up
some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for
in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the
destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining
references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any
externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free
up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(),
