Without this patch all DM devices will default to BLK_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE
(65536) even if the underlying device(s) have a larger value -- this is
due to blk_stack_limits() using min_not_zero() when stacking the
max_segment_size limit.

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:

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
__get_cpu_var(y)++

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.

For blk-mq, if a driver has requested per-request payload data
to carry command structures, they are stuffed into req->special.
For an old style request based driver, req->special is used
for the same purpose but indicates that a per-driver request
structure has been prepared for the request already. So for the
old style driver, we do not merge such requests.
As most/all blk-mq drivers will use the payload feature, and
since we have no problem merging on these, make this check
dependent on whether it's a blk-mq enabled driver or not.

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.

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

However, we may run into these "bad sizes" in the real world if someone

Matt found that commit 27a7c64217 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The
reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk
partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
other than these.

With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.
We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.
Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

One of the biggest problems with GPT is compatibility with older, non-GPT
systems. The problem is addressed by creating hybrid mbrs, an extension,
or variant, of the traditional protective mbr. This contains, apart from
the 0xEE partition, up three additional primary partitions that point to
the same space marked by up to three GPT partitions. The result is that
legacy OSs can see the three required MBR partitions and at the same time
ignore the GPT-aware partitions that protect the GPT structures.
While hybrid MBRs are hacks, workarounds and simply not part of the GPT
standard, they do exist and we have no way around them. For instance, by
default, OSX creates a hybrid scheme when using multi-OS booting.
In order for Linux to properly discover protective MBRs, it must be made
aware of devices that have hybrid MBRs. No functionality is changed by
this patch, just a debug message informing the user of the MBR scheme that
is being used.

When detecting a valid protective MBR, the Linux kernel isn't picky about
the partition (1-4) the 0xEE is at, but, unlike other operating systems,
it does require it to begin at the second sector (sector 1). This check,
apart from it not being enforced by UEFI, and causing Linux to potentially
fail to detect any *valid* partitions on the disk, can present problems
when dealing with hybrid MBRs[1].
For compatibility reasons, if the first partition is hybridized, the 0xEE
partition must be small enough to ensure that it only protects the GPT
data structures - as opposed to the the whole disk in a protective MBR.
This problem is very well described by Rod Smith[1]: where MBR-only
partitioning programs (such as older versions of fdisk) can see some of
the disk space as unallocated, thus loosing the purpose of the 0xEE
partition's protection of GPT data structures.
By dropping this check, this patch enables Linux to be more flexible when
probing for GPT disklabels.

The kernel's GPT implementation currently uses the generic 'struct
partition' type for dealing with legacy MBR partition records. While this
is is useful for disklabels that we designed for CHS addressing, such as
msdos, it doesn't adapt well to newer standards that use LBA instead, such
as GUID partition tables. Furthermore, these generic partition structures
do not have all the required fields to properly follow the UEFI specs.
While a CHS address can be translated to LBA, it's much simpler and
cleaner to just replace the partition type. This patch adds a new
'gpt_record' type that is fully compliant with EFI and will allow, in the
next patches, to add more checks to properly verify a protective MBR,
which is paramount to probing a device that makes use of GPT.

I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *
The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.
For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.
The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could
lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on the cgroup front. Most changes aren't visible
to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
planned unified hierarchy.
- The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
(cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers
(cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.
Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed,
which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that
decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.
- cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high
flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward,
new events will simply generate file modified event and the
existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg. This pull
request contains prepatory patches for such change.

Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin
(root of subtree) css in the iteration. The reasons were maintaining
consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of
introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway;
however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a
descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and
looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that
including origin would result in simpler code overall.
While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup
API including the iterators has recently gone through major
restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without
adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this
type of change.
The conversions are mostly straight-forward. If the iteration block
had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the
iteration. If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added. Some
conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by
consolidating origin handling and the rest. While the extra ref
operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any
noticeable difference.

cgroup is in the process of converting to css (cgroup_subsys_state)
from cgroup as the principal subsystem interface handle. This is
mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will
be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up
subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested
in anyway.
cgroup_taskset which is used by the subsystem attach methods is the
last cgroup subsystem API which isn't using css as the handle. Update
cgroup_taskset_cur_cgroup() to cgroup_taskset_cur_css() and
cgroup_taskset_for_each() to take @skip_css instead of @skip_cgrp.
The conversions are pretty mechanical. One exception is
cpuset::cgroup_cs(), which lost its last user and got removed.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css
(cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in
subsystem API. For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because
* In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway.
* On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different
subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the
hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup.
Passing around css makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
subsystem in question as css is intersection between cgroup and
subsystem
* For the planned unified hierarchy, css's would need to be created
and destroyed dynamically independent from cgroup hierarchy. Having
cgroup core manage css iteration makes enforcing deref rules a lot
easier.
Most subsystem conversions are straight-forward. Noteworthy changes
are
* blkio: cgroup_to_blkcg() is no longer used. Removed.
* freezer: cgroup_freezer() is no longer used. Removed.
* devices: cgroup_to_devcgroup() is no longer used. Removed.

Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods

This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of

previous patch and can be converted the same way.
Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some
interesting ones.
* freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead
of @cgroup for consistency. This will make the code look simpler
too once iterators are converted to use css.
* memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to
vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.
* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
which is different from the current state where all css's are
allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup. This
in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.
* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
being performed for.
* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods
often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits
much better.
This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few
noteworthy changes are
* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
subsystems.
* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
dereference is replaced with local variable access.
This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.
v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.
Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so
that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a

Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy
to find the parent of a given css. cgroup is moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so
let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses.
This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its
parent. The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as
long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy.
freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices
are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent
directly.
* __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with
parent_ca(). The only difference between the two was NULL test on
cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the
distinction moot. Note that eventually a css->parent field will be
added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away.

css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific
data structure. Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast
from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping
such cast. As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main
interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with
css's.
All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those
cases. While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all
controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the
casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially
optimize out the branch.
* blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such
accessor. Added.

The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -
cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward.
The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even
indicate it's somehow related to cgroup.
We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename
them so that they're less awkward. Most per-controller usages of the
accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of
scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in

is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the drivers/block uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

Disk names may contain arbitrary strings, so they must not be

There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation.
Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data
don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL
->elevator_data.
For example:
Thread A: Thread B
blk_queu_bio elevator_switch
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc
elv_merge elevator_init_fn
Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the
->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and
nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened.
Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the
operations in a atomic operation.
Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug

2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done

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."

In case a device has three tags available we still reserve two of them
for sync IO. That leaves only a single tag for async IO such as
writeback from flusher thread which results in poor performance.
Allow async IO to consume two tags in case queue has three tag availabe
to get a decent async write performance.
This patch improves streaming write performance on a machine with such disk
from ~21 MB/s to ~52 MB/s. Also postmark throughput in presence of

With the recent updates, blk-throttle is finally ready for proper
hierarchy support. Dispatching now honors service_queue->parent_sq
and propagates correctly. The only thing missing is setting
->parent_sq correctly so that throtl_grp hierarchy matches the cgroup
hierarchy.
This patch updates throtl_pd_init() such that service_queues form the
same hierarchy as the cgroup hierarchy if sane_behavior is enabled.
As this concludes proper hierarchy support for blkcg, the shameful
.broken_hierarchy tag is removed from blkio_subsys.

blk_throtl_bio() has a quick exit path for throtl_grps without limits
configured. It looks at the bps and iops limits and if both are not
configured, the bio is issued immediately. While this is correct in
the current flat hierarchy as each throtl_grp behaves completely
independently, it would become wrong in proper hierarchy mode. A
group without any limits could still be limited by one of its
ancestors and bio's queued for such group should not bypass
blk-throtl.
As having a quick bypass mechanism is beneficial, this patch
reimplements the mechanism such that it's correct even with proper
hierarchy. throtl_grp->has_rules[] is added. These booleans are
updated for the whole subtree whenever a config is updated so that
has_rules[] of the whole subtree stays synchronized. They're also
updated when a new throtl_grp comes online so that it can't escape the
limits of its ancestors.
As no throtl_grp has another throtl_grp as parent now, this patch
doesn't yet make any behavior differences.

With the planned proper hierarchy support, a bio will climb up the
tree before actually being dispatched. This makes sure bio is also
subjected to parent's throttling limits, if any.
It might happen that parent is idle and when bio is transferred to
parent, a new slice starts fresh. But that is incorrect as parents
wait time should have started when bio was queued in child group and
causes IOs to be throttled more than configured as they climb the
hierarchy.
Given the fact that we have not written hierarchical algorithm in a
way where child's and parents time slices are synchronized, we
transfer the child's start time to parent if parent was idling. If
parent was busy doing dispatch of other bios all this while, this is
not an issue.
Child's slice start time is passed to parent. Parent looks at its
last expired slice start time. If child's start time is after parents
old start time, that means parent had been idle and after parent
went idle, child had an IO queued. So use child's start time as
parent start time.
If parent's start time is after child's start time, that means,
when IO got queued in child group, parent was not idle. But later
it dispatched some IO, its slice got trimmed and then it went idle.
After a while child's request got shifted in parent group. In this
case use parent's old start time as new start time as that's the
duration of slice we did not use.
This logic is far from perfect as if there are multiple childs
then first child transferring the bio decides the start time while
a bio might have queued up even earlier in other child, which is
yet to be transferred up to parent. In that case we will lose
time and bandwidth in parent. This patch is just an approximation
to make situation somewhat better.

With flat hierarchy, there's only single level of dispatching
happening and fairness beyond that point is the responsibility of the
rest of the block layer and driver, which usually works out okay;
however, with the planned hierarchy support,
service_queue->bio_lists[] can be filled up by bios from a single
source. While the limits would still be honored, it'd be very easy to
starve IOs from siblings or children.
To avoid such starvation, this patch implements throtl_qnode and
converts service_queue->bio_lists[] to lists of per-source qnodes
which in turn contains the bio's. For example, when a bio is
dispatched from a child group, the bio doesn't get queued on
->bio_lists[] directly but it first gets queued on the group's qnode
which in turn gets queued on service_queue->queued[]. When
dispatching for the upper level, the ->queued[] list is consumed in
round-robing order so that the dispatch windows is consumed fairly by
all IO sources.
There are two ways a bio can come to a throtl_grp - directly queued to
the group or dispatched from a child. For the former
throtl_grp->qnode_on_self[rw] is used. For the latter, the child's
->qnode_on_parent[rw].
Note that this means that the child which is contributing a bio to its
parent should stay pinned until all its bios are dispatched to its
grand-parent. This patch moves blkg refcnting from bio add/remove
spots to qnode activation/deactivation so that the blkg containing an
active qnode is always pinned. As child pins the parent, this is
sufficient for keeping the relevant sub-tree pinned while bios are in
flight.
The starvation issue was spotted by Vivek Goyal.
v2: The original patch used the same throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent
for reads and writes causing RWs to be queued incorrectly if there
already are outstanding IOs in the other direction. They should
be throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent[2] so that READs and WRITEs
can use different qnodes. Spotted by Vivek Goyal.

throtl_pending_timer_fn() currently assumes that the parent_sq is the

however, this assumption will be wrong with proper hierarchy support.
This patch makes the following changes to make

* If the parent_sq isn't the top-level one, update the parent
throtl_grp's dispatch time and schedule the next dispatch as
necessary. If the parent's dispatch time is now, repeat the
function for the parent throtl_grp.
* If the parent_sq is the top-level one, kick issue work_item as

* The debug message printed by throtl_log() now prints out the

latter becomes uninteresting and misleading with hierarchical

* throtl_data->nr_queued[] is incremented in blk_throtl_bio() instead

* tg_dispatch_one_bio() is updated to distinguish whether its parent

transferred to the parent throtl_grp using throtl_add_bio_tg(). If
latter, the bio is ready to be issued and put on the top-level
service_queue's bio_lists[] and throtl_data->nr_queued is

Currently, blk_throtl_bio() issues the passed in bio directly if it's
within limits of its associated tg (throtl_grp). This behavior

accounted to and throttled by the ancestor throtl_grps too.
This patch makes the direct issue path of blk_throtl_bio() to loop
until it reaches the top-level service_queue or gets throttled. If
the former, the bio can be issued directly; otherwise, it gets queued
at the first layer it was above limits.

Currently, blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() is responsible for both
dispatching bio's from throtl_grp's according to their limits and then
issuing the dispatched bios.
This patch moves the dispatch part to throtl_pending_timer_fn() so
that the work item is kicked iff there are bio's to issue. This is to
avoid work item execution at each step when hierarchy support is
enabled. bio's will be dispatched towards the top-level service_queue
from the timers at each layer and the work item will only be used to
issue the bio's which reached the top-level service_queue.
While fetching bio's to issue from bio_lists[],
blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() fetches all READs before WRITEs. While
the original code also dispatched READs first, if multiple throtl_grps
are dispatched on the same run, WRITEs from throtl_grp which is
dispatched first would precede READs from throtl_grps which are
dispatched later. While this is a behavior change, given that the
previous code already prioritized READs and block layer generally
prioritizes and segregates READs from WRITEs, this isn't likely to
make any noticeable differences.

throtl_select_dispatch() only dispatches throtl_quantum bios on each
invocation. blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() in turn depends on
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() scheduling the next dispatch window
immediately so that undue delays aren't incurred. This effectively
chains multiple dispatch work item executions back-to-back when there
are more than throtl_quantum bios to dispatch on a given tick.
There is no reason to finish the current work item just to repeat it
immediately. This patch makes throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() return
%false without doing anything if the current dispatch window is still
open and updates blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() repeat dispatching
after cpu_relax() on %false return.
This change will help implementing hierarchy support as dispatching
will be done from pending_timer and immediate reschedule of timer
function isn't supported and doesn't make much sense.

throtl_quantum bios to dispatch on a single tick, the behavior change
is immaterial.

Currently, throtl_data->dispatch_work is a delayed_work item which

patch separates out the timer into throtl_service_queue->pending_timer
from throtl_data->dispatch_work and make the latter a work_struct.
* As the timer is now per-service_queue, it's initialized and
del_sync'd as its corresponding service_queue is created and
destroyed. The timer, when triggered, simply schedules
throtl_data->dispathc_work for execution.
* throtl_schedule_delayed_work() is renamed to
throtl_schedule_pending_timer() and takes @sq and @expires now.
* Simiarly, throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() now takes @sq, which
should be the parent_sq of the service_queue which just got a new

With proper hierarchy support, a bio can be dispatched multiple times
until it reaches the top-level service_queue and we don't want to
update dispatch stats at each step. They are local stats and will be
kept local. If recursive stats are necessary, they should be
implemented separately and definitely not by updating counters
recursively on each dispatch.
This patch moves REQ_THROTTLED setting to throtl_charge_bio() and gate
stats update with it so that dispatch stats are updated only on the
first time the bio is charged to a throtl_grp, which will always be
the throtl_grp the bio was originally queued to.
This means that REQ_THROTTLED would be set even for bios which don't
get throttled. As we don't want bios to leave blk-throtl with the
flag set, move REQ_THROTLLED clearing to the end of blk_throtl_bio()
and clear if the bio is being issued directly.

When blk_throtl_bio() wants to queue a bio to a tg (throtl_grp), it
avoids invoking tg_update_disptime() and
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() if the tg already has bios queued in
that direction. As a new bio is appeneded after the existing ones, it
can't change the tg's next dispatch time or the parent's dispatch
schedule.
This optimization is currently open coded in blk_throtl_bio().
Whether the target biolist was occupied was recorded in a local

throtl_nr_queued() is used in several places to avoid performing
certain operations when the throtl_data is empty. This usually is
useless as those paths usually aren't traveled if there's no bio
queued.
* throtl_schedule_delayed_work() skips scheduling dispatch work item
if @td doesn't have any bios queued; however, the only case it can
be called when @td is empty is from tg_set_conf() which isn't
something we should be optimizing for.
* throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() takes a quick exit if @td is empty;
however, right after that it triggers BUG if the service tree is
empty. The two conditions are equivalent and it can just test
@st->count for the quick exit.
* blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() skips dispatch if @td is empty. This
work function isn't usually invoked when @td is empty. The only
possibility is from tg_set_conf() and when it happens the normal
dispatching path can handle empty @td fine. No need to add special
skip path.
This patch removes the above three unnecessary optimizations, which
leave throtl_log() call in blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() the only user
of throtl_nr_queued(). Remove throtl_nr_queued() and open code it in
throtl_log(). I don't think we need td->nr_queued[] at all. Maybe we
can remove it later.

When bps or iops configuration changes, blk-throttle records the new
configuration and sets a flag indicating that the config has changed.
The flag is checked in the bio dispatch path and applied. This
deferred config application was necessary due to limitations in blkcg
framework, which haven't existed for quite a while now.
This patch removes the deferred config application mechanism and
applies new configurations directly from tg_set_conf(), which is
simpler.

Currently, when the last reference of a blkcg_gq is put, all then
release operations sans the actual freeing happen directly in
blkg_put(). As blkg_put() may be called under queue_lock, all
pd_exit_fn()s may be too. This makes it impossible for pd_exit_fn()s
to use del_timer_sync() on timers which grab the queue_lock which is
an irq-safe lock due to the deadlock possibility described in the
comment on top of del_timer_sync().
This can be easily avoided by perfoming the release operations in the
RCU callback instead of directly from blkg_put(). This patch moves
the blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU callback.
As this leaves __blkg_release() with only call_rcu() invocation,
blkg_rcu_free() is renamed to __blkg_release_rcu(), exported and
call_rcu() invocation is now done directly from blkg_put() instead of
going through __blkg_release() which is removed.

Currently, when creating a new blkcg_gq, each policy's pd_init_fn() is
invoked in blkg_alloc() before the parent is linked. This makes it
difficult for policies to perform initializations which are dependent
on the parent.
This patch moves pd_init_fn() invocations to blkg_create() after the
parent blkg is linked where the new blkg is fully initialized. As
this means that blkg_free() can't assume that pd's are initialized,
pd_exit_fn() invocations are moved to __blkg_release(). This
guarantees that pd_exit_fn() is also invoked with fully initialized
blkgs with valid parent pointers.
This will help implementing hierarchy support in blk-throttle.

In blkg_create(), after lookup of parent fails, the control jumps to
error path with the error code encoded into @blkg. The error path
doesn't use @blkg for the return value. It returns ERR_PTR(ret).
Make lookup fail path set @ret instead of @blkg.
Note that the parent lookup is guaranteed to succeed at that point and
the condition check is purely for sanity and triggers WARN when fails.
As such, I don't think it's necessary to mark it for -stable.

Block layer uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency
of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.
On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.
This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete.
cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().
- device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.
- perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.
- A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated
by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately,
cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag
is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag
won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
implicitly along with unified hierarchy.
The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy
support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
introducing a full separate set of control knobs.
This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely
to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
it's supportable in the long term.
Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able
to drop it in a decade.
Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

Some drivers want to tell userspace what uid and gid should be used for
their device nodes, so allow that information to percolate through the
driver core to userspace in order to make this happen. This means that
some systems (i.e. Android and friends) will not need to even run a
udev-like daemon for their device node manager and can just rely in
devtmpfs fully, reducing their footprint even more.

This is the pull request for the earlier patchset[1] with the same

workqueue tree) but the merge strategy is a bit involved due to the
dependencies.
* Because the conversion needs features from wq/for-3.10,
block/for-3.10/core is based on rc3, and wq/for-3.10 has conflicts
with rc3, I pulled mainline (rc5) into wq/for-3.10 to prevent those
workqueue conflicts from flaring up in block tree.
* Resolving the issue that Jan and Dave raised about debugging
requires arch-wide changes. The patchset is being worked on[2] but
it'll have to go through -mm after these changes show up in -next,
and not included in this pull request.
The three commits are located in the following git branch.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git writeback-workqueue
Pulling it into block/for-3.10/core produces a conflict in
drivers/md/raid5.c between the following two commits.
e3620a3ad5 ("MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available")
2f6db2a707 ("raid5: use bio_reset()")
The conflict is trivial - one removes an "if ()" conditional while the
other removes "rbi->bi_next = NULL" right above it. We just need to
remove both. The merged branch is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git block-test-merge
so that you can use it for verification. The test merge commit has
proper merge description.
While these changes are a bit of pain to route, they make code simpler
and even have, while minute, measureable performance gain[3] even on a
workload which isn't particularly favorable to showing the benefits of
this conversion.

Converts it to use bio_advance(), simplifying it quite a bit in the
process.
Note that req_bio_endio() now always calls bio_advance() - which means
it always loops over the biovec, not just on partial completions. Don't
expect it to affect performance, but worth noting.
Tested it by forcing partial updates, and dumping before and after on
various bio/bvec fields when doing a partial update.

rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can
be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access
a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold
a longer name.
As accessing dentry->name must be protected by dentry->d_lock or
parent inode's i_mutex, while on the other hand cgroup-path() can
be called with some irq-safe spinlocks held, we can't generate
cgroup path using dentry->d_name.
Alternatively we make a copy of dentry->d_name and save it in
cgrp->name when a cgroup is created, and update cgrp->name at
rename().
v5: use flexible array instead of zero-size array.
v4: - allocate root_cgroup_name and all root_cgroup->name points to it.

"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"
Fix up the trivial conflicts due to hlist traversal cleanups (commit
b67bfe0d42ca: "hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators").

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so
it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition,
especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage,
MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure.
This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct
parsed_partitions to try to address the issue:
- make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can
fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved
- vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is
still a bit big for kmalloc
- given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only
allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always

UEFI 2.3.1D will include a change to the spec language mandating that a
GPT header must be greater than *or equal to* the size of the defined
structure. While verifying that this would work on Linux, I discovered
that we're not actually checking the minimum bound at all.
The result of this is that when we verify the checksum, it's possible that
on a malformed header (with header_size of 0), we won't actually verify
any data.

AIX formatted disks do not always have the MSDOS 55aa signature.
This happens e.g. for unbootable AIX disks.
Up to now, such disks were not recognized as AIX disks, because of the
missing 55aa. Fix that by inverting the two tests. Let's first
check for the AIX magic strings, and only if that fails check for
the MSDOS magic word.

While stress-running very-small container scenarios with the Kernel Memory
Controller, I've run into a lockdep-detected lock imbalance in
cfq-iosched.c.
I'll apologize beforehand for not posting a backlog: I didn't anticipate
it would be so hard to reproduce, so I didn't save my serial output and
went directly on debugging. Turns out that it did not happen again in
more than 20 runs, making it a quite rare pattern.
But here is my analysis:
When we are in very low-memory situations, we will arrive at
cfq_find_alloc_queue and may not find a queue, having to resort to the oom
queue, in an rcu-locked condition:
if (!cfqq || cfqq == &cfqd->oom_cfqq)
[ ... ]
Next, we will release the rcu lock, and try to allocate a queue, retrying
if we succeed:
rcu_read_unlock();
spin_unlock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock);
new_cfqq = kmem_cache_alloc_node(cfq_pool,
gfp_mask | __GFP_ZERO,
cfqd->queue->node);
spin_lock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock);
if (new_cfqq)
goto retry;
We are unlocked at this point, but it should be fine, since we will
reacquire the rcu_read_lock when we retry.
Except of course, that we may not retry: the allocation may very well fail
and we'll keep on going through the flow:
The next branch is:
if (cfqq) {
[ ... ]
} else
cfqq = &cfqd->oom_cfqq;
And right before exiting, we'll issue rcu_read_unlock().
Being already unlocked, this is the likely source of our imbalance. Since
cfqq is either already NULL or made NULL in the first statement of the
outter branch, the only viable alternative here seems to be to return the
oom queue right away in case of allocation failure.
Please review the following patch and apply if you agree with my analysis.

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.

This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key
modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it
provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag
that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page
contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that
this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the
flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait
only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining
disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to
provide stable page writes on those filesystems.
It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway)
this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the
original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not
fixing it sooner.
Complaints were registered by several people about the long write
latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset.
Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory
as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot
wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting
page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to
enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be
set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on
ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else.
Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that
have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would
be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible
that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support
to enable zero-copy writeout.
Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems.
Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure
latencies on ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat
----------------------------------------
WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817
ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391
Flush 15514 29.828 287.283
Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273
ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112
Flush 14982 30.540 298.634
Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms
As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms
on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies
increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives
the flusher more work to do.
On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum
latencies:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078
ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210
Flush 12129 36.219 168.260
Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:

Flush 12214 34.800 165.689
Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms
XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343
ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115
Flush 17851 25.004 131.390
Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:

Flush 17549 25.120 188.687
Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms
...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency
decreases:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 67122 0.083 82.355
ReadX 212719 0.005 2.828
Flush 9547 47.561 147.418
Throughput 35.3391 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=147.433 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 64898 0.101 71.631
ReadX 206673 0.005 7.123
Flush 9190 47.963 219.034
Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=219.044 ms
Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking
behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk
requiring stable page writes.
This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and
xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same
results as -rc3.
[1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and
page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use
ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely
slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped
by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the
author of the stable page series! :)
This patch:
Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must
be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive
wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages.

Fix up conflict in kernel/context_tracking.c due to comment additions.
Using wait_for_completion() for waiting for a IO request to be executed
results in wrong iowait time accounting. For example, a system having
the only task doing write() and fdatasync() on a block device can be
reported being idle instead of iowaiting as it should because
blkdev_issue_flush() calls wait_for_completion() which in turn calls
schedule() that does not increment the iowait proc counter and thus does
not turn on iowait time accounting.
The patch makes block layer use wait_for_completion_io() instead of
wait_for_completion() where appropriate to account iowait time
correctly.

Block layer allows selecting an elevator which is built as a module to
be selected as system default via kernel param "elevator=". This is
achieved by automatically invoking request_module() whenever a new
block device is initialized and the elevator is not available.
This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module
init. Block device probing running off an async job invokes
request_module(). While the module is being loaded, it performs
async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which
is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to
deadlock.
Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is
already nasty in itself. It seems best to avoid these situations from
the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init
path.
The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is
loaded early during boot if available. This patch removes on-demand
loading of the default elevator from elevator init path. As the
module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior
difference should be minimal.
For more details, please refer to the following thread.

v2: The bool parameter was named @request_module which conflicted with
request_module(). This built okay w/ CONFIG_MODULES because
request_module() was defined as a macro. W/o CONFIG_MODULES, it
causes build breakage. Rename the parameter to @try_loading.

This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default
block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or
initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in
the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the
default modules are loaded as soon as possible.
This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator
init path.
v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK. Reported by kbuild test
robot.

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
extra parameter.

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.

Hello, Jens.
Please consider pulling from the following branch to receive cfq blkcg
hierarchy support. The branch is based on top of v3.8-rc2.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git blkcg-cfq-hierarchy
The patchset was reviewd in the following thread.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.cgroups/5571
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.

Switch elevator to use the new hashtable implementation. This reduces the
amount of generic unrelated code in the elevator.
This also removes the dymanic allocation of the hash table. The size of the table is
constant so there's no point in paying the price of an extra dereference when accessing
it.
This patch depends on d9b482c ("hashtable: introduce a small and naive
hashtable") which was merged in v3.6.

Unfortunately, at this point, there's no way to make the existing

existing users. Just create recursive counterpart of the existing

To support hierarchical stats, it's necessary to remember stats from
dead children. Add cfqg->dead_stats and make a dying cfqg transfer
its stats to the parent's dead-stats.
The transfer happens form ->pd_offline_fn() and it is possible that
there are some residual IOs completing afterwards. Currently, we lose
these stats. Given that cgroup removal isn't a very high frequency
operation and the amount of residual IOs on offline are likely to be
nil or small, this shouldn't be a big deal and the complexity needed
to handle residual IOs - another callback and rather elaborate
synchronization to reach and lock the matching q - doesn't seem
justified.

Instead of holding blkcg->lock while walking ->blkg_list and executing
prfill(), RCU walk ->blkg_list and hold the blkg's queue lock while
executing prfill(). This makes prfill() implementations easier as
stats are mostly protected by queue lock.
This will be used to implement hierarchical stats.
