Vivek Goyal b4627321e1 cfq-iosched: Fix a gcc 4.5 warning and put some comments
- Andi encountedred following warning with gcc 4.5

  linux/block/cfq-iosched.c: In function ‘cfq_dispatch_requests’:
  linux/block/cfq-iosched.c:2156:3: warning: array subscript is above array
  bounds

- Warning happens due to following code.

  slice = group_slice * count /
		max_t(unsigned, cfqg->busy_queues_avg[cfqd->serving_prio],
		cfq_group_busy_queues_wl(cfqd->serving_prio, cfqd, cfqg));

  gcc is complaining about cfqg->busy_queues_avg[] being indexed by CFQ
  prio classes (RT, BE and IDLE) while the array size is only 2.

- At run time, we never access cfqg->busy_queues_avg[IDLE] and return from
  function before this code hits.

- To fix warning increase the array size though it will remain unused. This
  patch also puts some comments to clarify some of the confusions.

- I have taken Jens's patch and modified it a bit.

- Compile tested with gcc 4.4 and boot tested. I don't have gcc 4.5
  running, Andi can you please test it with gcc 4.5 to make sure it
  worked.

Vivek Goyal fe0714377e blkio: Recalculate the throttled bio dispatch time upon throttle limit change
o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and
  the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group.

o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling.
  Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount
  a disk can wait for a very long time.

o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if
  user increases the read limit later.

o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate
  the bio dispatch time according to new limits.

o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake
  up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some
  variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to
  make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of
  memory barrier code especially will help.

The problem here is that we don't have bdi->dev information available when
thread does some IO.  Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it
crashes.

This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root
group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't
hit this piece of code.

Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of
device in blk_group.  Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device
information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes
in from same group.

Corrado Zoccolo 749ef9f842 cfq: improve fsync performance for small files
Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is
lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between
the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit.

Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing
small files and fsync-ing them is starved.

This patch fixes the two problems by:
- marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE
  flag set,
- force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle
  tree.

Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated
 to journal commits in the noidle tree allows:
- switching between them without idling,
- fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only
  after the noidle tree expires its slice.

Vivek Goyal 02b35081fc cfq-iosched: Do group share accounting in IOPS when slice_idle=0
o Implement another CFQ mode where we charge group in terms of number
  of requests dispatched instead of measuring the time. Measuring in terms
  of time is not possible when we are driving deeper queue depths and there
  are requests from multiple cfq queues in the request queue.

o This mode currently gets activated if one sets slice_idle=0 and associated
  disk supports NCQ. Again the idea is that on an NCQ disk with idling disabled
  most of the queues will dispatch 1 or more requests and then cfq queue
  expiry happens and we don't have a way to measure time. So start providing
  fairness in terms of IOPS.

o Currently IOPS mode works only with cfq group scheduling. CFQ is following
  different scheduling algorithms for queue and group scheduling. These IOPS
  stats are used only for group scheduling hence in non-croup mode nothing
  should change.

o For CFQ group scheduling one can disable slice idling so that we don't idle
  on queue and drive deeper request queue depths (achieving better throughput),
  at the same time group idle is enabled so one should get service
  differentiation among groups.

Christoph Hellwig 7b6d91daee block: unify flags for struct bio and struct request
Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver.  There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests:  BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

Jeff Moyer c10b61f091 cfq: Don't allow queue merges for queues that have no process references
Hi,

A user reported a kernel bug when running a particular program that did
the following:

created 32 threads
- each thread took a mutex, grabbed a global offset, added a buffer size
  to that offset, released the lock
- read from the given offset in the file
- created a new thread to do the same
- exited

The result is that cfq's close cooperator logic would trigger, as the
threads were issuing I/O within the mean seek distance of one another.
This workload managed to routinely trigger a use after free bug when
walking the list of merge candidates for a particular cfqq
(cfqq->new_cfqq).  The logic used for merging queues looks like this:

static void cfq_setup_merge(struct cfq_queue *cfqq, struct cfq_queue *new_cfqq)
{
	int process_refs, new_process_refs;
	struct cfq_queue *__cfqq;

	/* Avoid a circular list and skip interim queue merges */
	while ((__cfqq = new_cfqq->new_cfqq)) {
		if (__cfqq == cfqq)
			return;
		new_cfqq = __cfqq;
	}

	process_refs = cfqq_process_refs(cfqq);
	/*
	 * If the process for the cfqq has gone away, there is no
	 * sense in merging the queues.
	 */
	if (process_refs == 0)
		return;

	/*
	 * Merge in the direction of the lesser amount of work.
	 */
	new_process_refs = cfqq_process_refs(new_cfqq);
	if (new_process_refs >= process_refs) {
		cfqq->new_cfqq = new_cfqq;
		atomic_add(process_refs, &new_cfqq->ref);
	} else {
		new_cfqq->new_cfqq = cfqq;
		atomic_add(new_process_refs, &cfqq->ref);
	}
}

When a merge candidate is found, we add the process references for the
queue with less references to the queue with more.  The actual merging
of queues happens when a new request is issued for a given cfqq.  In the
case of the test program, it only does a single pread call to read in
1MB, so the actual merge never happens.

Normally, this is fine, as when the queue exits, we simply drop the
references we took on the other cfqqs in the merge chain:

	/*
	 * If this queue was scheduled to merge with another queue, be
	 * sure to drop the reference taken on that queue (and others in
	 * the merge chain).  See cfq_setup_merge and cfq_merge_cfqqs.
	 */
	__cfqq = cfqq->new_cfqq;
	while (__cfqq) {
		if (__cfqq == cfqq) {
			WARN(1, "cfqq->new_cfqq loop detected\n");
			break;
		}
		next = __cfqq->new_cfqq;
		cfq_put_queue(__cfqq);
		__cfqq = next;
	}

However, there is a hole in this logic.  Consider the following (and
keep in mind that each I/O keeps a reference to the cfqq):

q1->new_cfqq = q2   // q2 now has 2 process references
q3->new_cfqq = q2   // q2 now has 3 process references

// the process associated with q2 exits
// q2 now has 2 process references

// queue 1 exits, drops its reference on q2
// q2 now has 1 process reference

// q3 exits, so has 0 process references, and hence drops its references
// to q2, which leaves q2 also with 0 process references

q4 comes along and wants to merge with q3

q3->new_cfqq still points at q2!  We follow that link and end up at an
already freed cfqq.

So, the fix is to not follow a merge chain if the top-most queue does
not have a process reference, otherwise any queue in the chain could be
already freed.  I also changed the logic to disallow merging with a
queue that does not have any process references.  Previously, we did
this check for one of the merge candidates, but not the other.  That
doesn't really make sense.

Without the attached patch, my system would BUG within a couple of
seconds of running the reproducer program.  With the patch applied, my
system ran the program for over an hour without issues.

This addresses the following bugzilla:
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16217

Thanks a ton to Phil Carns for providing the bug report and an excellent
reproducer.

Konstantin Khlebnikov 80b15c7389 cfq-iosched: compact io_context radix_tree
Use small consequent indexes as radix tree keys instead of sparse cfqd address.

This change will reduce radix tree depth from 11 (6 for 32-bit hosts)
to 1 if host have <=64 disks under cfq control, or to 0 if there only one disk.
So, this patch save 10*560 bytes for each process (5*296 for 32-bit hosts)

For each cfqd allocate cic index from ida.
To unlink dead cic from tree without cfqd access store index into ->key.
(bit 0 -- dead mark, bits 1..30 -- index: ida produce id in range 0..2^31-1)

Konstantin Khlebnikov bca4b914b5 cfq-iosched: remove dead_key from cfq_io_context
Remove ->dead_key field from cfq_io_context to shrink its size to 128 bytes.
(64 bytes for 32-bit hosts)

Use lower bit in ->key as dead-mark, instead of moving key to separate field.
After this for dead cfq_io_context we got cic->key != cfqd automatically.
Thus, io_context's last-hit cache should work without changing.

Now to check ->key for non-dead state compare it with cfqd,
instead of checking ->key for non-null value as it was before.

Plus remove obsolete race protection in cfq_cic_lookup.
This race gone after v2.6.24-1728-g4ac845a

Vivek Goyal dcf097b247 blk-cgroup: Fix RCU correctness warning in cfq_init_queue()
It is necessary to be in an RCU read-side critical section when invoking
css_id(), so this patch adds one to blkiocg_add_blkio_group().  This is
actually a false positive, because this is called at initialization time
and hence always refers to the root cgroup, which cannot go away.

Vivek Goyal afc24d49c1 blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangement
This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues.

o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from
  "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception.
  Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from
  there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers.

o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED.

  This option currently does two things.

  - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace
  - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat
    files in cgroup.

  If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use
  if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to
  also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of
  all the additional debug stat files which is not desired.

  Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under
  CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

  This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all
  the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which
  can be enabled through config menu.

Vivek Goyal e5ff082e8a blkio: Fix another BUG_ON() crash due to cfqq movement across groups
o Once in a while, I was hitting a BUG_ON() in blkio code. empty_time was
  assuming that upon slice expiry, group can't be marked empty already (except
  forced dispatch).

  But this assumption is broken if cfqq can move (group_isolation=0) across
  groups after receiving a request.

  I think most likely in this case we got a request in a cfqq and accounted
  the rq in one group, later while adding the cfqq to tree, we moved the queue
  to a different group which was already marked empty and after dispatch from
  slice we found group already marked empty and raised alarm.

  This patch does not error out if group is already marked empty. This can
  introduce some empty_time stat error only in case of group_isolation=0. This
  is better than crashing. In case of group_isolation=1 we should still get
  same stats as before this patch.

Vivek Goyal 7f1dc8a2d2 blkio: Fix blkio crash during rq stat update
blkio + cfq was crashing even when two sequential readers were put in two
separate cgroups (group_isolation=0).

The reason being that cfqq can migrate across groups based on its being
sync-noidle or not, it can happen that at request insertion time, cfqq
belonged to one cfqg and at request dispatch time, it belonged to root
group. In this case request stats per cgroup can go wrong and it also runs
into BUG_ON().

This patch implements rq stashing away a cfq group pointer and not relying
on cfqq->cfqg pointer alone for rq stat accounting.

Gui Jianfeng 34d0f179d6 io-controller: Add a new interface "weight_device" for IO-Controller
Currently, IO Controller makes use of blkio.weight to assign weight for
all devices. Here a new user interface "blkio.weight_device" is introduced to
assign different weights for different devices. blkio.weight becomes the
default value for devices which are not configured by "blkio.weight_device"

You can use the following format to assigned specific weight for a given
device:
#echo "major:minor weight" > blkio.weight_device

major:minor represents device number.

And you can remove weight for a given device as following:
#echo "major:minor 0" > blkio.weight_device

V1->V2 changes:
- use user interface "weight_device" instead of "policy" suggested by Vivek
- rename some struct suggested by Vivek
- rebase to 2.6-block "for-linus" branch
- remove an useless list_empty check pointed out by Li Zefan
- some trivial typo fix

V2->V3 changes:
- Move policy_*_node() functions up to get rid of forward declarations
- rename related functions by adding prefix "blkio_"

Divyesh Shah 3440c49f5c cfq-iosched: Fix the incorrect timeslice accounting with forced_dispatch
When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched,
it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue.
However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in
using stale values for computing slice_used.
This patch fixes it by calling activate queue before flushing reuqests from
each queue.

This is useful mostly for barrier requests because when the iosched is changing
it really doesnt matter if we have incorrect accounting since we're going to
break down all structures anyway.

We also now expire the current timeslice before moving on with the dispatch
to accurately account slice used for that cfqq.

Divyesh Shah 812df48d12 blkio: Add more debug-only per-cgroup stats
1) group_wait_time - This is the amount of time the cgroup had to wait to get a
  timeslice for one of its queues from when it became busy, i.e., went from 0
  to 1 request queued. This is different from the io_wait_time which is the
  cumulative total of the amount of time spent by each IO in that cgroup waiting
  in the scheduler queue. This stat is a great way to find out any jobs in the
  fleet that are being starved or waiting for longer than what is expected (due
  to an IO controller bug or any other issue).
2) empty_time - This is the amount of time a cgroup spends w/o any pending
   requests. This stat is useful when a job does not seem to be able to use its
   assigned disk share by helping check if that is happening due to an IO
   controller bug or because the job is not submitting enough IOs.
3) idle_time - This is the amount of time spent by the IO scheduler idling
   for a given cgroup in anticipation of a better request than the exising ones
   from other queues/cgroups.

All these stats are recorded using start and stop events. When reading these
stats, we do not add the delta between the current time and the last start time
if we're between the start and stop events. We avoid doing this to make sure
that these numbers are always monotonically increasing when read. Since we're
using sched_clock() which may use the tsc as its source, it may induce some
inconsistency (due to tsc resync across cpus) if we included the current delta.

These stats are useful for getting a feel for the queue depth of the cgroup,
i.e., how filled up its queues are at a given instant and over the existence of
the cgroup. This ability is useful when debugging problems in the wild as it
helps understand the application's IO pattern w/o having to read through the
userspace code (coz its tedious or just not available) or w/o the ability
to run blktrace (since you may not have root access and/or not want to disturb

This includes both the number of bios merged into requests belonging to this
cgroup as well as the number of requests merged together.
In the past, we've observed different merging behavior across upstream kernels,
some by design some actual bugs. This stat helps a lot in debugging such
problems when applications report decreased throughput with a new kernel
version.

This needed adding an extra elevator function to capture bios being merged as I
did not want to pollute elevator code with blkiocg knowledge and hence needed
the accounting invocation to come from CFQ.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Divyesh Shah 39c01b219f cfq-iosched: Do not merge queues of BE and IDLE classes
Even if they are found to be co-operating.

The prio_trees do not have any IDLE cfqqs on them. cfq_close_cooperator()
is called from cfq_select_queue() and cfq_completed_request(). The latter
ensures that the close cooperator code does not get invoked if the current
cfqq is of class IDLE but the former doesn't seem to have any such checks.
So an IDLE cfqq may get merged with a BE cfqq from the same group which
should be avoided.

The reason is cfqq_close() can't find close cooperator. Restoring

Corrado Zoccolo 3dde36ddea cfq-iosched: rework seeky detection
Current seeky detection is based on average seek lenght.
This is suboptimal, since the average will not distinguish between:
* a process doing medium sized seeks
* a process doing some sequential requests interleaved with larger seeks
and even a medium seek can take lot of time, if the requested sector
happens to be behind the disk head in the rotation (50% probability).

Therefore, we change the seeky queue detection to work as follows:
* each request can be classified as sequential if it is very close to
  the current head position, i.e. it is likely in the disk cache (disks
  usually read more data than requested, and put it in cache for
  subsequent reads). Otherwise, the request is classified as seeky.
* an history window of the last 32 requests is kept, storing the
  classification result.
* A queue is marked as seeky if more than 1/8 of the last 32 requests
  were seeky.

This patch fixes a regression reported by Yanmin, on mmap 64k random
reads.

Gui Jianfeng 024f906616 cfq: Remove useless css reference get
There's no need to take css reference here, for the caller
has already called rcu_read_lock() to prevent cgroup from
being removed.

Richard Kennedy c4081ba5c9 cfq: reorder cfq_queue removing padding on 64bit
This removes 8 bytes of padding from struct cfq_queue on 64 bit builds,
shrinking it's size to 256 bytes, so fitting into 1 fewer cachelines and
allowing 1 more object/slab in it's kmem_cache.
