2017-10-25block: cope with WRITE ZEROES failing in blkdev_issue_zeroout()Ilya Dryomov1-10/+35
sd_config_write_same() ignores ->max_ws_blocks == 0 and resets it to permit trying WRITE SAME on older SCSI devices, unless ->no_write_same is set. Because REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES is implemented in terms of WRITE SAME, blkdev_issue_zeroout() may fail with -EREMOTEIO: $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg fallocate: fallocate failed: Remote I/O error $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK The following calls succeed because sd_done() sets ->no_write_same in response to a sense that would become BLK_STS_TARGET/-EREMOTEIO, causing __blkdev_issue_zeroout() to fall back to generating ZERO_PAGE bios. This means blkdev_issue_zeroout() must cope with WRITE ZEROES failing and fall back to manually zeroing, unless BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK is specified. For BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK case, return -EOPNOTSUPP if sd_done() has just set ->no_write_same thus indicating lack of offload support.

2017-10-18kyber: fix hang on domain token wait queueOmar Sandoval1-1/+9
When we're getting a domain token, if we fail to get a token on our first attempt, we put the current hardware queue on a wait queue and then try again just in case a token was freed after our initial attempt but before we got on the wait queue. If this second attempt succeeds, we currently leave the hardware queue on the wait queue. Usually this is okay; we'll just run the hardware queue one extra time when another token is freed. However, if the hardware queue doesn't have any other requests waiting, then when it it gets the extra wakeup, it won't have anything to free and therefore won't wake up any other hardware queues. If tokens are limited, then we won't make forward progress and the device will hang.

2017-10-09block, bfq: fix unbalanced decrements of burst sizePaolo Valente1-2/+57
The commit "block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exit" introduced the decrement of burst_size on the removal of a bfq_queue from the burst list. Unfortunately, this decrement can happen to be performed even when burst size is already equal to 0, because of unbalanced decrements. A description follows of the cause of these unbalanced decrements, namely a wrong assumption, and of the way how this wrong assumption leads to unbalanced decrements. The wrong assumption is that a bfq_queue can exit only if the process associated with the bfq_queue has exited. This is false, because a bfq_queue, say Q, may exit also as a consequence of a merge with another bfq_queue. In this case, Q exits because the I/O of its associated process has been redirected to another bfq_queue. The decrement unbalance occurs because Q may then be re-created after a split, and added back to the current burst list, *without* incrementing burst_size. burst_size is not incremented because Q is not a new bfq_queue added to the burst list, but a bfq_queue only temporarily removed from the list, and, before the commit "bfq-sq, bfq-mq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exit", burst_size was not decremented when Q was removed. This commit addresses this issue by just checking whether the exiting bfq_queue is a merged bfq_queue, and, in that case, not decrementing burst_size. Unfortunately, this still leaves room for unbalanced decrements, in the following rarer case: on a split, the bfq_queue happens to be inserted into a different burst list than that it was removed from when merged. If this happens, the number of elements in the new burst list becomes higher than burst_size (by one). When the bfq_queue then exits, it is of course not in a merged state any longer, thus burst_size is decremented, which results in an unbalanced decrement. To handle this sporadic, unlucky case in a simple way, this commit also checks that burst_size is larger than 0 before decrementing it. Finally, this commit removes an useless, extra check: the check that the bfq_queue is sync, performed before checking whether the bfq_queue is in the burst list. This extra check is redundant, because only sync bfq_queues can be inserted into the burst list.

2017-10-04blk-mq: attempt to fix atomic flag memory orderingPeter Zijlstra2-13/+41
Attempt to untangle the ordering in blk-mq. The patch introducing the single smp_mb__before_atomic() is obviously broken in that it doesn't clearly specify a pairing barrier and an obtained guarantee. The comment is further misleading in that it hints that the deadline store and the COMPLETE store also need to be ordered, but AFAICT there is no such dependency. However what does appear to be important is the clear happening _after_ the store, and that worked by pure accident. This clarifies blk_mq_start_request() -- we should not get there with STARTING set -- this simplifies the code and makes the barrier usage sane (the old code could be read to allow not having _any_ atomic after the barrier, in which case the barrier hasn't got anything to order). We then also introduce the missing pairing barrier for it. Also down-grade the barrier to smp_wmb(), this is cheaper for PowerPC/ARM and doesn't cost anything extra on x86. And it documents the STARTING vs COMPLETE ordering. Although I've not been entirely successful in reverse engineering the blk-mq state machine so there might still be more funnies around timeout vs requeue.

2017-10-03block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exitPaolo Valente1-9/+3
If many queues belonging to the same group happen to be created shortly after each other, then the concurrent processes associated with these queues have typically a common goal, and they get it done as soon as possible if not hampered by device idling. Examples are processes spawned by git grep, or by systemd during boot. As for device idling, this mechanism is currently necessary for weight raising to succeed in its goal: privileging I/O. In view of these facts, BFQ does not provide the above queues with either weight raising or device idling. On the other hand, a burst of queue creations may be caused also by the start-up of a complex application. In this case, these queues need usually to be served one after the other, and as quickly as possible, to maximise responsiveness. Therefore, in this case the best strategy is to weight-raise all the queues created during the burst, i.e., the exact opposite of the strategy for the above case. To distinguish between the two cases, BFQ uses an empirical burst-size threshold, found through extensive tests and monitoring of daily usage. Only large bursts, i.e., burst with a size above this threshold, are considered as generated by a high number of parallel processes. In this respect, upstart-based boot proved to be rather hard to detect as generating a large burst of queue creations, because with upstart most of the queues created in a burst exit *before* the next queues in the same burst are created. To address this issue, I changed the burst-detection mechanism so as to not decrease the size of the current burst even if one of the queues in the burst is eliminated. Unfortunately, this missing decrease causes false positives on very fast systems: on the start-up of a complex application, such as libreoffice writer, so many queues are created, served and exited shortly after each other, that a large burst of queue creations is wrongly detected as occurring. These false positives just disappear if the size of a burst is decreased when one of the queues in the burst exits. This commit restores the missing burst-size decrease, relying of the fact that upstart is apparently unlikely to be used on systems running this and future versions of the kernel.

2017-10-03block, bfq: let early-merged queues be weight-raised on split tooPaolo Valente1-5/+23
A just-created bfq_queue, say Q, may happen to be merged with another bfq_queue on the very first invocation of the function __bfq_insert_request. In such a case, even if Q would clearly deserve interactive weight raising (as it has just been created), the function bfq_add_request does not make it to be invoked for Q, and thus to activate weight raising for Q. As a consequence, when the state of Q is saved for a possible future restore, after a split of Q from the other bfq_queue(s), such a state happens to be (unjustly) non-weight-raised. Then the bfq_queue will not enjoy any weight raising on the split, even if should still be in an interactive weight-raising period when the split occurs. This commit solves this problem as follows, for a just-created bfq_queue that is being early-merged: it stores directly, in the saved state of the bfq_queue, the weight-raising state that would have been assigned to the bfq_queue if not early-merged.

2017-10-03block, bfq: check and switch back to interactive wr also on queue splitPaolo Valente1-38/+49
As already explained in the message of commit "block, bfq: fix wrong init of saved start time for weight raising", if a soft real-time weight-raising period happens to be nested in a larger interactive weight-raising period, then BFQ restores the interactive weight raising at the end of the soft real-time weight raising. In particular, BFQ checks whether the latter has ended only on request dispatches. Unfortunately, the above scheme fails to restore interactive weight raising in the following corner case: if a bfq_queue, say Q, 1) Is merged with another bfq_queue while it is in a nested soft real-time weight-raising period. The weight-raising state of Q is then saved, and not considered any longer until a split occurs. 2) Is split from the other bfq_queue(s) at a time instant when its soft real-time weight raising is already finished. On the split, while resuming the previous, soft real-time weight-raised state of the bfq_queue Q, BFQ checks whether the current soft real-time weight-raising period is actually over. If so, BFQ switches weight raising off for Q, *without* checking whether the soft real-time period was actually nested in a non-yet-finished interactive weight-raising period. This commit addresses this issue by adding the above missing check in bfq_queue splits, and restoring interactive weight raising if needed.

2017-10-03block, bfq: fix wrong init of saved start time for weight raisingPaolo Valente1-19/+31
This commit fixes a bug that causes bfq to fail to guarantee a high responsiveness on some drives, if there is heavy random read+write I/O in the background. More precisely, such a failure allowed this bug to be found [1], but the bug may well cause other yet unreported anomalies. BFQ raises the weight of the bfq_queues associated with soft real-time applications, to privilege the I/O, and thus reduce latency, for these applications. This mechanism is named soft-real-time weight raising in BFQ. A soft real-time period may happen to be nested into an interactive weight raising period, i.e., it may happen that, when a bfq_queue switches to a soft real-time weight-raised state, the bfq_queue is already being weight-raised because deemed interactive too. In this case, BFQ saves in a special variable wr_start_at_switch_to_srt, the time instant when the interactive weight-raising period started for the bfq_queue, i.e., the time instant when BFQ started to deem the bfq_queue interactive. This value is then used to check whether the interactive weight-raising period would still be in progress when the soft real-time weight-raising period ends. If so, interactive weight raising is restored for the bfq_queue. This restore is useful, in particular, because it prevents bfq_queues from losing their interactive weight raising prematurely, as a consequence of spurious, short-lived soft real-time weight-raising periods caused by wrong detections as soft real-time. If, instead, a bfq_queue switches to soft-real-time weight raising while it *is not* already in an interactive weight-raising period, then the variable wr_start_at_switch_to_srt has no meaning during the following soft real-time weight-raising period. Unfortunately the handling of this case is wrong in BFQ: not only the variable is not flagged somehow as meaningless, but it is also set to the time when the switch to soft real-time weight-raising occurs. This may cause an interactive weight-raising period to be considered mistakenly as still in progress, and thus a spurious interactive weight-raising period to start for the bfq_queue, at the end of the soft-real-time weight-raising period. In particular the spurious interactive weight-raising period will be considered as still in progress, if the soft-real-time weight-raising period does not last very long. The bfq_queue will then be wrongly privileged and, if I/O bound, will unjustly steal bandwidth to truly interactive or soft real-time bfq_queues, harming responsiveness and low latency. This commit fixes this issue by just setting wr_start_at_switch_to_srt to minus infinity (farthest past time instant according to jiffies macros): when the soft-real-time weight-raising period ends, certainly no interactive weight-raising period will be considered as still in progress.

The lockdep code had reported the following unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(s_active#228); lock(&bdev->bd_mutex/1); lock(s_active#228); lock(&bdev->bd_mutex); *** DEADLOCK *** The deadlock may happen when one task (CPU1) is trying to delete a partition in a block device and another task (CPU0) is accessing tracing sysfs file (e.g. /sys/block/dm-1/trace/act_mask) in that partition. The s_active isn't an actual lock. It is a reference count (kn->count) on the sysfs (kernfs) file. Removal of a sysfs file, however, require a wait until all the references are gone. The reference count is treated like a rwsem using lockdep instrumentation code. The fact that a thread is in the sysfs callback method or in the ioctl call means there is a reference to the opended sysfs or device file. That should prevent the underlying block structure from being removed. Instead of using bd_mutex in the block_device structure, a new blk_trace_mutex is now added to the request_queue structure to protect access to the blk_trace structure.

2017-09-12block: directly insert blk-mq request from blk_insert_cloned_request()Jens Axboe3-1/+23
A NULL pointer crash was reported for the case of having the BFQ IO scheduler attached to the underlying blk-mq paths of a DM multipath device. The crash occured in blk_mq_sched_insert_request()'s call to e->type->ops.mq.insert_requests(). Paolo Valente correctly summarized why the crash occured with: "the call chain (dm_mq_queue_rq -> map_request -> setup_clone -> blk_rq_prep_clone) creates a cloned request without invoking e->type->ops.mq.prepare_request for the target elevator e. The cloned request is therefore not initialized for the scheduler, but it is however inserted into the scheduler by blk_mq_sched_insert_request." All said, a request-based DM multipath device's IO scheduler should be the only one used -- when the original requests are issued to the underlying paths as cloned requests they are inserted directly in the underlying dispatch queue(s) rather than through an additional elevator. But commit bd166ef18 ("blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO schedulers") switched blk_insert_cloned_request() from using blk_mq_insert_request() to blk_mq_sched_insert_request(). Which incorrectly added elevator machinery into a call chain that isn't supposed to have any. To fix this introduce a blk-mq private blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() that blk_insert_cloned_request() calls to insert the request without involving any elevator that may be attached to the cloned request's request_queue.

2017-09-11block: sed-opal: Set MBRDone on S3 resume path if TPER is MBREnabledScott Bauer2-0/+33
Users who are booting off their Opal enabled drives are having issues when they have a shadow MBR set up after s3/resume cycle. When the Drive has a shadow MBR setup the MBRDone flag is set to false upon power loss (S3/S4/S5). When the MBRDone flag is false I/O to LBA 0 -> LBA_END_MBR are remapped to the shadow mbr of the drive. If the drive contains useful data in the 0 -> end_mbr range upon s3 resume the user can never get to that data as the drive will keep remapping it to the MBR. To fix this when we unlock on S3 resume, we need to tell the drive that we're done with the shadow mbr (even though we didnt use it) by setting true to MBRDone. This way the drive will stop the remapping and the user can access their data.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma Pull rdma updates from Doug Ledford: "This is a big pull request. Of note is that I'm sending you the new ioctl API for the rdma subsystem. We put it up on linux-api@, but didn't get much response. The API is complex, but it solves two different problems in one go: 1) The bi-directional nature of the RDMA file write calls, which created the security hole we had to handle (and for which the fix is now causing problems for systems in production, we were a bit over zealous in the fix and the ability to open a device, then fork, then create new queue pairs on the device and use them is broken). 2) The bloat caused by different vendors implementing extensions to the base verbs API. Each vendor's hardware is slightly different, and the hardware might be suitable for one extension but not another. By the time we add generic extensions for all the different ways that the different hardware can offload things, the API becomes bloated. Things like our completion structs have started to exceed a cache line in size because of all the elements needed to support this. That in turn shows up heavily in the performance graphs with a noticable drop in performance on 100Gigabit links as our completion structs go from occupying one cache line to 1+. This API makes things like the completion structs modular in a very similar way to netlink so that your structs can only include the items needed for the offloads/features you are actually using on a given queue pair. In that way we support everything, but only use what we need, and our structs stay smaller. The ioctl API is better explained by the posting on linux-api@ than I can explain it here, so I'll just leave it at that. The rest of the pull request is typical stuff.
