This reverts commit 5f1b670d0b.
Justification for revert as reported in this dm-devel post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-June/msg00160.html
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Firstly, Christoph has a newer version of the patch that fixes silent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:

Now that bdi layer can handle per-blkcg bdi_writeback_congested state,
blk_{set|clear}_congested() can propagate non-root blkcg congestion
state to them.
This can be easily achieved by disabling the root_rl tests in
blk_{set|clear}_congested(). Note that we still need those tests when
!CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK as otherwise we'll end up flipping root blkcg
wb's congestion state for events happening on other blkcgs.

blk_{set|clear}_queue_congested() take @q and set or clear,
respectively, the congestion state of its bdi's root wb. Because bdi
used to be able to handle congestion state only on the root wb, the
callers of those functions tested whether the congestion is on the
root blkcg and skipped if not.
This is cumbersome and makes implementation of per cgroup
bdi_writeback congestion state propagation difficult. This patch
renames blk_{set|clear}_queue_congested() to
blk_{set|clear}_congested(), and makes them take request_list instead
of request_queue and test whether the specified request_list is the
root one before updating bdi_writeback congestion state. This makes
the tests in the callers unnecessary and simplifies them.
As there are no external users of these functions, the definitions are
moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to block/blk-core.c.
This patch doesn't introduce any noticeable behavior difference.

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi. To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.
This patch moves bdi->state into wb.
* enum bdi_state is renamed to wb_state and the prefix of all enums is
changed from BDI_ to WB_.
* Explicit zeroing of bdi->state is removed without adding zeoring of
wb->state as the whole data structure is zeroed on init anyway.
* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
uses of bdi->state are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.state
introducing no behavior changes.

Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent
to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory.
This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio
to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone
requests similar to bios in a flush sequence. With this change I/O
errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which
can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original
request.
I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support,
and it survives path failures during I/O nicely.

Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors);
call in del_gendisk().
Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call. In particular, the 'bdi'.
Since:
commit c4db59d31e
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
moved the
device_unregister(bdi->dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().
The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains
> [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
> [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'
We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.
Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk(). As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

blk_init_rl() allocates a mempool using mempool_create_node() with node
local memory. This only allocates the mempool and element list locally
to the requeue queue node.
What we really want to do is allocate the request itself local to the
queue. To do this, we need our own alloc and free functions that will
allocate from request_cachep and pass the request queue node in to prefer
node local memory.

blk_mq_alloc_request() may establish REQ_MQ_INFLIGHT in addition to
incrementing the hctx->nr_active count. Any cmd_flags that are
established in the newly allocated clone request must be preserved in
addition to the cmd_flags that are later copied over from the original
request as part of blk_rq_prep_clone().
Otherwise, if REQ_MQ_INFLIGHT isn't set in the clone request the
hctx->nr_active count won't get decremented via blk_mq_free_request().
The only consumer of blk_rq_prep_clone() is request-based DM, which uses
blk_rq_init() prior to calling blk_rq_prep_clone() for the non-blk-mq
case. Given the cloned request's cmd_flags will be 0 it is safe to OR
them with the original request's cmd_flags for both the non-blk-mq and

This time we have some more new material than we used to have during
the last couple of development cycles.
The most important part of it to me is the introduction of a unified
interface for accessing device properties provided by platform
firmware. It works with Device Trees and ACPI in a uniform way and
drivers using it need not worry about where the properties come
from as long as the platform firmware (either DT or ACPI) makes
them available. It covers both devices and "bare" device node
objects without struct device representation as that turns out to
be necessary in some cases. This has been in the works for quite
a few months (and development cycles) and has been approved by
all of the relevant maintainers.
On top of that, some drivers are switched over to the new interface
(at25, leds-gpio, gpio_keys_polled) and some additional changes are
made to the core GPIO subsystem to allow device drivers to manipulate
GPIOs in the "canonical" way on platforms that provide GPIO information
in their ACPI tables, but don't assign names to GPIO lines (in which
case the driver needs to do that on the basis of what it knows about
the device in question). That also has been approved by the GPIO
core maintainers and the rfkill driver is now going to use it.
Second is support for hardware P-states in the intel_pstate driver.
It uses CPUID to detect whether or not the feature is supported by
the processor in which case it will be enabled by default. However,
it can be disabled entirely from the kernel command line if necessary.
Next is support for a platform firmware interface based on ACPI
operation regions used by the PMIC (Power Management Integrated
Circuit) chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR platforms.
That interface is used for manipulating power resources and for
thermal management: sensor temperature reporting, trip point setting
and so on.
Also the ACPI core is now going to support the _DEP configuration
information in a limited way. Basically, _DEP it supposed to reflect
off-the-hierarchy dependencies between devices which may be very
indirect, like when AML for one device accesses locations in an
operation region handled by another device's driver (usually, the
device depended on this way is a serial bus or GPIO controller).
The support added this time is sufficient to make the ACPI battery
driver work on Asus T100A, but it is general enough to be able to
cover some other use cases in the future.
Finally, we have a new cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor.
In addition to the above, there are fixes and cleanups all over the
place as usual and a traditional ACPICA update to a recent upstream
release.
As far as the fixes go, the ACPI LPSS (Low-power Subsystem) driver
for Intel platforms should be able to handle power management of
the DMA engine correctly, the cpufreq-dt driver should interact
with the thermal subsystem in a better way and the ACPI backlight
driver should handle some more corner cases, among other things.
On top of the ACPICA update there are fixes for race conditions
in the ACPICA's interrupt handling code which might lead to some
random and strange looking failures on some systems.
In the cleanups department the most visible part is the series
of commits targeted at getting rid of the CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME
configuration option. That was triggered by a discussion
regarding the generic power domains code during which we realized
that trying to support certain combinations of PM config options
was painful and not really worth it, because nobody would use them
in production anyway. For this reason, we decided to make
CONFIG_PM_SLEEP select CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and that lead to the
conclusion that the latter became redundant and CONFIG_PM could
be used instead of it. The material here makes that replacement
in a major part of the tree, but there will be at least one more
batch of that in the second part of the merge window.
Specifics:
- Support for retrieving device properties information from ACPI
_DSD device configuration objects and a unified device properties
interface for device drivers (and subsystems) on top of that.
As stated above, this works with Device Trees and ACPI and allows
device drivers to be written in a platform firmware (DT or ACPI)
agnostic way. The at25, leds-gpio and gpio_keys_polled drivers
are now going to use this new interface and the GPIO subsystem
is additionally modified to allow device drivers to assign names
to GPIO resources returned by ACPI _CRS objects (in case _DSD is
not present or does not provide the expected data). The changes
in this set are mostly from Mika Westerberg, Rafael J Wysocki,
Aaron Lu, and Darren Hart with some fixes from others (Fabio Estevam,
Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Support for Hardware Managed Performance States (HWP) as described
in Volume 3, section 14.4, of the Intel SDM in the intel_pstate
driver. CPUID is used to detect whether or not the feature is
supported by the processor. If supported, it will be enabled
automatically unless the intel_pstate=no_hwp switch is present in
the kernel command line. From Dirk Brandewie.
- New Intel Broadwell-H ID for intel_pstate (Dirk Brandewie).
- Support for firmware interface based on ACPI operation regions
used by the PMIC chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR
platforms for power resource control and thermal management
(Aaron Lu).
- Limited support for retrieving off-the-hierarchy dependencies
between devices from ACPI _DEP device configuration objects
and deferred probing support for the ACPI battery driver based
on the _DEP information to make that driver work on Asus T100A
(Lan Tianyu).
- New cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor (Kelvin Cheung).
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20141107 which only affects
tools (Bob Moore).
- Fixes for race conditions in the ACPICA's interrupt handling
code and in the ACPI code related to system suspend and resume
(Lv Zheng and Rafael J Wysocki).
- ACPI core fix for an RCU-related issue in the ioremap() regions
management code that slowed down significantly after CPUs had
been allowed to enter idle states even if they'd had RCU callbakcs
queued and triggered some problems in certain proprietary graphics
driver (and elsewhere). The fix replaces synchronize_rcu() in
that code with synchronize_rcu_expedited() which makes the issue
go away. From Konstantin Khlebnikov.
- ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver fix to handle power
management of the DMA engine included into the LPSS correctly.
The problem is that the DMA engine doesn't have ACPI PM support
of its own and it simply is turned off when the last LPSS device
having ACPI PM support goes into D3cold. To work around that,
the PM domain used by the ACPI LPSS driver is redesigned so at
least one device with ACPI PM support will be on as long as the
DMA engine is in use. From Andy Shevchenko.
- ACPI backlight driver fix to avoid using it on "Win8-compatible"
systems where it doesn't work and where it was used by default by
mistake (Aaron Lu).
- Assorted minor ACPI core fixes and cleanups from Tomasz Nowicki,
Sudeep Holla, Huang Rui, Hanjun Guo, Fabian Frederick, and
Ashwin Chaugule (mostly related to the upcoming ARM64 support).
- Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) power capping driver
fixes and improvements including new processor IDs (Jacob Pan).
- Generic power domains modification to power up domains after
attaching devices to them to meet the expectations of device

Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"This time we have some more new material than we used to have during
the last couple of development cycles.
The most important part of it to me is the introduction of a unified
interface for accessing device properties provided by platform
firmware. It works with Device Trees and ACPI in a uniform way and
drivers using it need not worry about where the properties come from
as long as the platform firmware (either DT or ACPI) makes them
available. It covers both devices and "bare" device node objects
without struct device representation as that turns out to be necessary
in some cases. This has been in the works for quite a few months (and
development cycles) and has been approved by all of the relevant
maintainers.
On top of that, some drivers are switched over to the new interface
(at25, leds-gpio, gpio_keys_polled) and some additional changes are
made to the core GPIO subsystem to allow device drivers to manipulate
GPIOs in the "canonical" way on platforms that provide GPIO
information in their ACPI tables, but don't assign names to GPIO lines
(in which case the driver needs to do that on the basis of what it
knows about the device in question). That also has been approved by
the GPIO core maintainers and the rfkill driver is now going to use
it.
Second is support for hardware P-states in the intel_pstate driver.
It uses CPUID to detect whether or not the feature is supported by the
processor in which case it will be enabled by default. However, it
can be disabled entirely from the kernel command line if necessary.
Next is support for a platform firmware interface based on ACPI
operation regions used by the PMIC (Power Management Integrated
Circuit) chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR platforms.
That interface is used for manipulating power resources and for
thermal management: sensor temperature reporting, trip point setting
and so on.
Also the ACPI core is now going to support the _DEP configuration
information in a limited way. Basically, _DEP it supposed to reflect
off-the-hierarchy dependencies between devices which may be very
indirect, like when AML for one device accesses locations in an
operation region handled by another device's driver (usually, the
device depended on this way is a serial bus or GPIO controller). The
support added this time is sufficient to make the ACPI battery driver
work on Asus T100A, but it is general enough to be able to cover some
other use cases in the future.
Finally, we have a new cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor.
In addition to the above, there are fixes and cleanups all over the
place as usual and a traditional ACPICA update to a recent upstream
release.
As far as the fixes go, the ACPI LPSS (Low-power Subsystem) driver for
Intel platforms should be able to handle power management of the DMA
engine correctly, the cpufreq-dt driver should interact with the
thermal subsystem in a better way and the ACPI backlight driver should
handle some more corner cases, among other things.
On top of the ACPICA update there are fixes for race conditions in the
ACPICA's interrupt handling code which might lead to some random and
strange looking failures on some systems.
In the cleanups department the most visible part is the series of
commits targeted at getting rid of the CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME configuration
option. That was triggered by a discussion regarding the generic
power domains code during which we realized that trying to support
certain combinations of PM config options was painful and not really
worth it, because nobody would use them in production anyway. For
this reason, we decided to make CONFIG_PM_SLEEP select
CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME and that lead to the conclusion that the latter
became redundant and CONFIG_PM could be used instead of it. The
material here makes that replacement in a major part of the tree, but
there will be at least one more batch of that in the second part of
the merge window.
Specifics:
- Support for retrieving device properties information from ACPI _DSD
device configuration objects and a unified device properties
interface for device drivers (and subsystems) on top of that. As
stated above, this works with Device Trees and ACPI and allows
device drivers to be written in a platform firmware (DT or ACPI)
agnostic way. The at25, leds-gpio and gpio_keys_polled drivers are
now going to use this new interface and the GPIO subsystem is
additionally modified to allow device drivers to assign names to
GPIO resources returned by ACPI _CRS objects (in case _DSD is not
present or does not provide the expected data). The changes in
this set are mostly from Mika Westerberg, Rafael J Wysocki, Aaron
Lu, and Darren Hart with some fixes from others (Fabio Estevam,
Geert Uytterhoeven).
- Support for Hardware Managed Performance States (HWP) as described
in Volume 3, section 14.4, of the Intel SDM in the intel_pstate
driver. CPUID is used to detect whether or not the feature is
supported by the processor. If supported, it will be enabled
automatically unless the intel_pstate=no_hwp switch is present in
the kernel command line. From Dirk Brandewie.
- New Intel Broadwell-H ID for intel_pstate (Dirk Brandewie).
- Support for firmware interface based on ACPI operation regions used
by the PMIC chips on the Intel Baytrail-T and Baytrail-T-CR
platforms for power resource control and thermal management (Aaron
Lu).
- Limited support for retrieving off-the-hierarchy dependencies
between devices from ACPI _DEP device configuration objects and
deferred probing support for the ACPI battery driver based on the
_DEP information to make that driver work on Asus T100A (Lan
Tianyu).
- New cpufreq driver for the Loongson1B processor (Kelvin Cheung).
- ACPICA update to upstream revision 20141107 which only affects
tools (Bob Moore).
- Fixes for race conditions in the ACPICA's interrupt handling code
and in the ACPI code related to system suspend and resume (Lv Zheng
and Rafael J Wysocki).
- ACPI core fix for an RCU-related issue in the ioremap() regions
management code that slowed down significantly after CPUs had been
allowed to enter idle states even if they'd had RCU callbakcs
queued and triggered some problems in certain proprietary graphics
driver (and elsewhere). The fix replaces synchronize_rcu() in that
code with synchronize_rcu_expedited() which makes the issue go
away. From Konstantin Khlebnikov.
- ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver fix to handle power
management of the DMA engine included into the LPSS correctly. The
problem is that the DMA engine doesn't have ACPI PM support of its
own and it simply is turned off when the last LPSS device having
ACPI PM support goes into D3cold. To work around that, the PM
domain used by the ACPI LPSS driver is redesigned so at least one
device with ACPI PM support will be on as long as the DMA engine is
in use. From Andy Shevchenko.
- ACPI backlight driver fix to avoid using it on "Win8-compatible"
systems where it doesn't work and where it was used by default by
mistake (Aaron Lu).
- Assorted minor ACPI core fixes and cleanups from Tomasz Nowicki,
Sudeep Holla, Huang Rui, Hanjun Guo, Fabian Frederick, and Ashwin
Chaugule (mostly related to the upcoming ARM64 support).

attaching devices to them to meet the expectations of device

blk-mq users are allowed to free the memory request_queue.tag_set
points at after blk_cleanup_queue() has finished but before
blk_release_queue() has started. This can happen e.g. in the SCSI
core. The SCSI core namely embeds the tag_set structure in a SCSI
host structure. The SCSI host structure is freed by
scsi_host_dev_release(). This function is called after
blk_cleanup_queue() finished but can be called before
blk_release_queue().
This means that it is not safe to access request_queue.tag_set from
inside blk_release_queue(). Hence remove the blk_sync_queue() call
from blk_release_queue(). This call is not necessary - outstanding
requests must have finished before blk_release_queue() is
called. Additionally, move the blk_mq_free_queue() call from
blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() to avoid that struct
request_queue.tag_set gets accessed after it has been freed.
This patch avoids that the following kernel oops can be triggered
when deleting a SCSI host for which scsi-mq was enabled:

Currently scsi piggy backs on the block layer to define the concept
of a tagged command. But we want to be able to have block-level host-wide
tags assigned even for untagged commands like the initial INQUIRY, so add
a new SCSI-level flag for commands that are tagged at the scsi level, so
that even commands without that set can have tags assigned to them. Note
that this alredy is the case for the blk-mq code path, and this just lets
the old path catch up with it.
We also set this flag based upon sdev->simple_tags instead of the block
queue flag, so that it is entirely independent of the block layer tagging,
and thus always correct even if a driver doesn't use block level tagging
yet.
Also remove the old blk_rq_tagged; it was only used by SCSI drivers, and
removing it forces them to look for the proper replacement.

- flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue
In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync,

- throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk
- throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image

rq->cmd back to rq->__cmd, causing the wrong CDB to be sent to the device.

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.

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.

"A smaller collection of fixes for the block core that would be nice to

- Fixes for races in the wait/wakeup logic used in blk-mq from
Alexander. No issues have been observed, but it is definitely a

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

This reference count has been around since before git history, but the only
place where it's used is in blk_execute_rq, and ther it is entirely useless
as it is incremented before submitting the request and decremented in the

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."

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to

Converts it to use bio_advance(), simplifying it quite a bit in the

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

If device is suspended or is suspending and the request is not a
PM request, resume the device.
When the last request finishes:
Call pm_runtime_mark_last_busy().
When pick a request:
If device is resuming/suspending, then only PM request is allowed
to go.

Pull block IO core bits from Jens Axboe:
"Below are the core block IO bits for 3.9. It was delayed a few days
since my workstation kept crashing every 2-8h after pulling it into
current -git, but turns out it is a bug in the new pstate code (divide
by zero, will report separately). In any case, it contains:
- The big cfq/blkcg update from Tejun and and Vivek.
- Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun.
- Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug
flushing.
- _io() variants of the wait_for_completion() interface, using
io_schedule() instead of schedule() to contribute to io wait
properly.
- Various little fixes.
You'll get two trivial merge conflicts, which should be easy enough to
fix up"

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.

bio_{front|back}_merge tracepoints report a bio merging into an
existing request but didn't specify which request the bio is being
merged into. Add @req to it. This makes it impossible to share the
event template with block_bio_queue - split it out.
@req isn't used or exported to userland at this point and there is no
userland visible behavior change. Later changes will make use of the

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.

In commit 975927b942c932,it add blk_rq_pos to sort rq when flushing.
Although this commit was used for the situation which blk_plug handled
multi devices on the same time like md device.
I think there must be some situations like this but only single
device.
So remove the should_sort judgement.
Because the parameter should_sort is only for this purpose,it can delete
should_sort from blk_plug.

Some request_fn implementations, e.g. scsi_request_fn(), unlock
the queue lock internally. This may result in multiple threads
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
invocations to finish.

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.

A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its
request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn
must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important
when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress.
As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in
parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after
scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but
before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.

QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is used to indicate that queuing new requests must

during the queue draining phase it is still safe to invoke the

flag.

8,16 0 6641 2.453639842 2579 G W 7493120 + 8 [md0_raid5]
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.

blk_init_allocated_queue() is called and q->queue_flags is overwritten
with QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT which doesn't include BYPASS even though the
initial bypass is still in effect.

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.

The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same
block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a
single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device
writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O.
This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The
blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block
drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to
efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc.

bio_is_rw() is used in place of bio_has_data() a few places. This is

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

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>.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Currently, specific policy implementations are responsible for
maintaining list and number of blkgs. This duplicates code
unnecessarily, and hinders factoring common code and providing blkcg
API with better defined semantics.
After this patch, request_queue hosts list heads and counters and blkg
has list nodes for both policies. This patch only relocates the
necessary fields and the next patch will actually move management code
into blkcg core.
Note that request_queue->blkg_list[] and ->nr_blkgs[] are hardcoded to
have 2 elements. This is to avoid include dependency and will be
removed by the next patch.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

Currently block core calls directly into blk-throttle for init, drain

will add logic common to blkcg policies to the functions.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
from a bio.

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.
Explain the sync rules around attempt_plug_merge() and drop the
unnecessary @tsk parameter.

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.

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.

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(),

Thus spake Andrew Morton:
"And I have the usual maintainability whine. If someone comes up to
vmscan.c and sees it calling blk_start_plug(), how are they supposed to
work out why that call is there? They go look at the blk_start_plug()
definition and it is undocumented. I think we can do better than this?"

Move all the checks performed on a bio into a new helper, and call it as
soon as bio is submitted even if it is a re-submission from ->make_request.
We explicitly mark the new helper as beeing non-inlined as the stack
usage for printing the block device name in the failure case is quite
high and this a patch where we have to be extremely conservative about
stack usage.

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.
Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.

Cleaning up the code a little bit. attempt_plug_merge() traverses the plug
list anyway, we can do the request counting there, so stack size is reduced
a little bit.
The motivation here is I suspect if we should count the requests for each
queue (task could handle multiple disks in the meantime), but my test doesn't
show it's worthy doing. If somebody proves we should do it, below change
will make that more easier.

Commit ae1b153962, block: reimplement
FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
storage (in our case, an HP EVA). The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out
that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
The above commit changed that behavior:
static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
{
struct request *rq;
while (1) {
- while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
+ if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
- if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
- (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
- return rq;
- rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
- if (rq)
- return rq;
+ return rq;
}
Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:
struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
{
unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
REQ_FUA);
unsigned skip = 0;
...
if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
if (!has_fua)
rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
return rq;
}
So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
&& rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).
Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead,
__elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
support flush or fua.
The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
make it function as designed.
In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua
had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.
I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are
appreciated.

Jeff

init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.
Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.
The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.
init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
init_fault_attr_dentries().
