2021-03-04block: split .sysfs_lock into two locksMing Lei1-1/+1
commit cecf5d87ff2035127bb5a9ee054d0023a4a7cad3 upstream. The kernfs built-in lock of 'kn->count' is held in sysfs .show/.store path. Meantime, inside block's .show/.store callback, q->sysfs_lock is required. However, when mq & iosched kobjects are removed via blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue(), q->sysfs_lock is held too. This way causes AB-BA lock because the kernfs built-in lock of 'kn-count' is required inside kobject_del() too, see the lockdep warning[1]. On the other hand, it isn't necessary to acquire q->sysfs_lock for both blk_mq_unregister_dev() & elv_unregister_queue() because clearing REGISTERED flag prevents storing to 'queue/scheduler' from being happened. Also sysfs write(store) is exclusive, so no necessary to hold the lock for elv_unregister_queue() when it is called in switching elevator path. So split .sysfs_lock into two: one is still named as .sysfs_lock for covering sync .store, the other one is named as .sysfs_dir_lock for covering kobjects and related status change. sysfs itself can handle the race between add/remove kobjects and showing/storing attributes under kobjects. For switching scheduler via storing to 'queue/scheduler', we use the queue flag of QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED with .sysfs_lock for avoiding the race, then we can avoid to hold .sysfs_lock during removing/adding kobjects.

commit 8d6996630c03d7ceeabe2611378fea5ca1c3f1b3 upstream.

When timeout handle function blk_mq_rq_timed_out() try to read 'req->q->mq_ops', the 'req' have completed and reinitiated by next flush request, which would call blk_rq_init() to clear 'req' as 0. After commit 12f5b93145 ("blk-mq: Remove generation seqeunce"), normal requests lifetime are protected by refcount. Until 'rq->ref' drop to zero, the request can really be free. Thus, these requests cannot been reused before timeout handle finish. However, flush request has defined .end_io and rq->end_io() is still called even if 'rq->ref' doesn't drop to zero. After that, the 'flush_rq' can be reused by the next flush request handle, resulting in null pointer deference BUG ON. We fix this problem by covering flush request with 'rq->ref'. If the refcount is not zero, flush_end_io() return and wait the last holder recall it. To record the request status, we add a new entry 'rq_status', which will be used in flush_end_io().

2018-08-21blk-mq: init hctx sched after update ctx and hctx mappingJianchao Wang1-0/+2
Currently, when update nr_hw_queues, IO scheduler's init_hctx will be invoked before the mapping between ctx and hctx is adapted correctly by blk_mq_map_swqueue. The IO scheduler init_hctx (kyber) may depend on this mapping and get wrong result and panic finally. A simply way to fix this is that switch the IO scheduler to 'none' before update the nr_hw_queues, and then switch it back after update nr_hw_queues. blk_mq_sched_init_/exit_hctx are removed due to nobody use them any more.

2018-07-09block: introduce blk-iolatency io controllerJosef Bacik1-0/+6
Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our use case. The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is not work conserving. This patch introduces io.latency. You provide a latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets. This makes use of the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff. There are a few differences from wbt - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to the actual io. - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to. - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window. This is because writes can be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of other workloads on our protected workload. - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to. Only at throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth. - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy workloads. In testing this has worked out relatively well. Protected workloads will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO). Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and everything else in another group. We see slightly higher requests per second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier. Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group. Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box to die and not recover at all. With these patches we see slight RPS drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and things recover within seconds.

2018-01-09blk-mq: replace timeout synchronization with a RCU and generation based schemeTejun Heo1-6/+0
Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence rules. Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes. There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however, they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add. blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration, deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance. In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a later instance of a request. If we induce 5 sec delay before time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to 2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out requests spuriously pretty quickly. Nothing actually timed out. It just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished. The scenario isn't theoretical either. This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU and generation number based one. 1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be updated only by the request owner. Whenever a request becomes in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too. This provides the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle instances of the request. Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both values coherently. 2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline. If the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated request abortion field and does RCU wait. 3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state match the abortion field. If so, it skips completion. 4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones requested for abortion. By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield to it and can safely timeout the request. While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance. While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't removed yet as it's still used in other places. Future patches will move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in the hot paths. Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path. The race has always been there and this patch doesn't change it. It's just documenting the existing race. v2: - Fixed BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER handling as pointed out by Jianchao. - s/request->gstate_seqc/request->gstate_seq/ as suggested by Peter. - READ_ONCE() added in blk_mq_rq_update_state() as suggested by Peter. v3: - Fixed possible extended seqcount / u64_stats_sync read looping spotted by Peter. - MQ_RQ_IDLE was incorrectly being set in complete_request instead of free_request.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-03-28blk-throttle: add a mechanism to estimate IO latencyShaohua Li1-0/+2
User configures latency target, but the latency threshold for each request size isn't fixed. For a SSD, the IO latency highly depends on request size. To calculate latency threshold, we sample some data, eg, average latency for request size 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k .. 1M. The latency threshold of each request size will be the sample latency (I'll call it base latency) plus latency target. For example, the base latency for request size 4k is 80us and user configures latency target 60us. The 4k latency threshold will be 80 + 60 = 140us. To sample data, we calculate the order base 2 of rounded up IO sectors. If the IO size is bigger than 1M, it will be accounted as 1M. Since the calculation does round up, the base latency will be slightly smaller than actual value. Also if there isn't any IO dispatched for a specific IO size, we will use the base latency of smaller IO size for this IO size. But we shouldn't sample data at any time. The base latency is supposed to be latency where disk isn't congested, because we use latency threshold to schedule IOs between cgroups. If disk is congested, the latency is higher, using it for scheduling is meaningless. Hence we only do the sampling when block throttling is in the LOW limit, with assumption disk isn't congested in such state. If the assumption isn't true, eg, low limit is too high, calculated latency threshold will be higher. Hard disk is completely different. Latency depends on spindle seek instead of request size. Currently this feature is SSD only, we probably can use a fixed threshold like 4ms for hard disk though. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2017-03-28blk-throttle: add a simple idle detectionShaohua Li1-0/+3
A cgroup gets assigned a low limit, but the cgroup could never dispatch enough IO to cross the low limit. In such case, the queue state machine will remain in LIMIT_LOW state and all other cgroups will be throttled according to low limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to lower state. We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the cgroup is below its low limit. This isn't what we want. A more complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_LOW. But when queue gets upgraded to lower state, other cgroups could dispatch more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below its low limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is to detect if cgroup is truely idle. Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg, not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16. Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle. We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by default 1ms for SSD and 100ms for HD). The idea is think time above the threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer think time is ok. The patch (and the latter patches) uses 'unsigned long' to track time. We convert 'ns' to 'us' with 'ns >> 10'. This is fast but loses precision, should not a big deal. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. It's called slice internally but it really is a time window blk-throttling samples data. blk-throttling will make decision based on the samplings. An example is bandwidth measurement. A cgroup's bandwidth is measured in the time interval of throtl_slice. A small throtl_slice meanse cgroups have smoother throughput but burn more CPUs. It has 100ms default value, which is not appropriate for all disks. A fast SSD can dispatch a lot of IOs in 100ms. This patch makes it tunable. Since throtl_slice isn't a time slice, the sysfs name 'throttle_sample_time' reflects its character better. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2016-11-17blk-mq: implement hybrid poll mode for sync O_DIRECTJens Axboe1-0/+1
This patch enables a hybrid polling mode. Instead of polling after IO submission, we can induce an artificial delay, and then poll after that. For example, if the IO is presumed to complete in 8 usecs from now, we can sleep for 4 usecs, wake up, and then do our polling. This still puts a sleep/wakeup cycle in the IO path, but instead of the wakeup happening after the IO has completed, it'll happen before. With this hybrid scheme, we can achieve big latency reductions while still using the same (or less) amount of CPU.

2016-10-28block: split out request-only flags into a new namespaceChristoph Hellwig1-2/+2
A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request internals. This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests. It also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for struct request.

2016-09-15blk-mq: remove ->map_queueChristoph Hellwig1-8/+3
All drivers use the default, so provide an inline version of it. If we ever need other queue mapping we can add an optional method back, although supporting will also require major changes to the queue setup code. This provides better code generation, and better debugability as well.

2016-07-21block: simplify and export blk_rq_append_bioChristoph Hellwig1-2/+0
The target SCSI passthrough backend is much better served with the low-level blk_rq_append_bio construct then the helpers built on top of it, so export it. Also use the opportunity to remove the pointless request_queue argument and make the code flow a little more readable.

2015-12-22block: defer timeouts to a workqueueChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
Timer context is not very useful for drivers to perform any meaningful abort action from. So instead of calling the driver from this useless context defer it to a workqueue as soon as possible. Note that while a delayed_work item would seem the right thing here I didn't dare to use it due to the magic in blk_add_timer that pokes deep into timer internals. But maybe this encourages Tejun to add a sensible API for that to the workqueue API and we'll all be fine in the end :) Contains a major update from Keith Bush: "This patch removes synchronizing the timeout work so that the timer can start a freeze on its own queue. The timer enters the queue, so timer context can only start a freeze, but not wait for frozen."
