After merging the iolatency policy, we potentially now have 4 policies
being registered, but only support 3. This causes one of them to fail
loading. Takashi reports that BFQ no longer works for him, because it
fails to load due to policy registration failure.
Bump to 5 policies, and also add a warning for when we have exceeded
the global amount. If we have to touch this again, we should switch
to a dynamic scheme instead.

Currently, blkcg destruction relies on a sequence of events:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called and blkgs
release their reference to the blkcg. This immediately destroys
the cgwbs (writeback).
2. With blkgs giving up their reference, the blkcg ref count should
become zero and eventually call blkcg_css_free() which finally
frees the blkcg.
Jiufei Xue reported that there is a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check()
and cgroup_rmdir(). To remedy this, blkg destruction becomes contingent
on the completion of all writeback associated with the blkcg. A count of
the number of cgwbs is maintained and once that goes to zero, blkg
destruction can follow. This should prevent premature blkg destruction
related to writeback.
The new process for blkcg cleanup is as follows:
1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called which offlines
writeback. Blkg destruction is delayed on the cgwb_refcnt count to
avoid punting potentially large amounts of outstanding writeback
to root while maintaining any ongoing policies. Here, the base
cgwb_refcnt is put back.
2. When the cgwb_refcnt becomes zero, blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is called
and handles destruction of blkgs. This is where the css reference
held by each blkg is released.
3. Once the blkcg ref count goes to zero, blkcg_css_free() is called.
This finally frees the blkg.
It seems in the past blk-throttle didn't do the most understandable
things with taking data from a blkg while associating with current. So,
the simplification and unification of what blk-throttle is doing caused
this.

This reverts commit 4c6994806f.
Destroying blkgs is tricky because of the nature of the relationship. A
blkg should go away when either a blkcg or a request_queue goes away.
However, blkg's pin the blkcg to ensure they remain valid. To break this
cycle, when a blkcg is offlined, blkgs put back their css ref. This
eventually lets css_free() get called which frees the blkcg.
The above commit (4c6994806f) breaks this order of events by trying to
destroy blkgs in css_free(). As the blkgs still hold references to the
blkcg, css_free() is never called.
The race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir() will be
addressed in the following patch by delaying destruction of a blkg until
all writeback associated with the blkcg has been finished.

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.

Since IO can be issued from literally anywhere it's almost impossible to
do throttling without having some sort of adverse effect somewhere else
in the system because of locking or other dependencies. The best way to
solve this is to do the throttling when we know we aren't holding any
other kernel resources. Do this by tracking throttling in a per-blkg
basis, and if we require throttling flag the task that it needs to check
before it returns to user space and possibly sleep there.
This is to address the case where a process is doing work that is
generating IO that can't be throttled, whether that is directly with a
lot of REQ_META IO, or indirectly by allocating so much memory that it
is swamping the disk with REQ_SWAP. We can't use task_add_work as we
don't want to induce a memory allocation in the IO path, so simply
saving the request queue in the task and flagging it to do the
notify_resume thing achieves the same result without the overhead of a
memory allocation.

We've triggered a WARNING in blk_throtl_bio() when throttling writeback
io, which complains blkg->refcnt is already 0 when calling blkg_get(),
and then kernel crashes with invalid page request.
After investigating this issue, we've found it is caused by a race
between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir(), which is described
below:
writeback kworker cgroup_rmdir
cgroup_destroy_locked
kill_css
css_killed_ref_fn
css_killed_work_fn
offline_css
blkcg_css_offline
blkcg_bio_issue_check
rcu_read_lock
blkg_lookup
spin_trylock(q->queue_lock)
blkg_destroy
spin_unlock(q->queue_lock)
blk_throtl_bio
spin_lock_irq(q->queue_lock)
...
spin_unlock_irq(q->queue_lock)
rcu_read_unlock
Since rcu can only prevent blkg from releasing when it is being used,
the blkg->refcnt can be decreased to 0 during blkg_destroy() and schedule
blkg release.
Then trying to blkg_get() in blk_throtl_bio() will complains the WARNING.
And then the corresponding blkg_put() will schedule blkg release again,
which result in double free.
This race is introduced by commit ae11889636 ("blkcg: consolidate blkg
creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()"). Before this commit, it will
lookup first and then try to lookup/create again with queue_lock. Since
revive this logic is a bit drastic, so fix it by only offlining pd during
blkcg_css_offline(), and move the rest destruction (especially
blkg_put()) into blkcg_css_free(), which should be the right way as
discussed.

when that fails falls back to operations which aren't specific to the

get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they
increase the reference on the disk owner module.
The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and
to put it:
disk = get_gendisk(...);
/* use disk */
owner = disk->fops->owner;
put_disk(disk);
module_put(owner);
fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e.
blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put
a module reference. To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config
can be used. In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0
(actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device):
# lsmod | grep brd
brd 5175 0
# i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" > \
/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \
done
# lsmod | grep brd
brd 5175 100
Now brd module has 100 references.
The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().

Consider the following v2 hierarchy.
P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
\- B
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.
The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated. All controllers are
updated accordingly.
* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf,
netclassid and netprio fall in this category.
* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The
only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
is obtained.
* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the
single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.
* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now
correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:
- percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated. This was
temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues. Oleg's
rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
merge window resolves the issue.
- On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly. This allows
->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.
- Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
until released. This allows tracking resources held by zombies
(e.g. pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
on the v2 hierarchy. The pids controller was broken before these
changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.

...
The stat files on the root cgroup shows stats for the whole system and
usually don't contain any information which isn't available through
the usual system monitoring mechanisms. Some controllers skip
collecting these duplicate stats to optimize cases where cgroup isn't
used and later try to emulate the result on demand.
This leads to complexities and subtle differences in the information
shown through different channels. This is entirely unnecessary and
cgroup v2 is dropping stat files which are duplicate from all
controllers. This patch removes "io.stat" from the root hierarchy.

blkcg interface grew to be the biggest of all controllers and
unfortunately most inconsistent too. The interface files are
inconsistent with a number of cloes duplicates. Some files have
recursive variants while others don't. There's distinction between
normal and leaf weights which isn't intuitive and there are a lot of
stat knobs which don't make much sense outside of debugging and expose
too much implementation details to userland.
In the unified hierarchy, everything is always hierarchical and
internal nodes can't have tasks rendering the two structural issues
twisting the current interface. The interface has to be updated in a
significant anyway and this is a good chance to revamp it as a whole.
This patch implements blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy.
* (from a previous patch) blkcg is identified by "io" instead of
"blkio" on the unified hierarchy. Given that the whole interface is
updated anyway, the rename shouldn't carry noticeable conversion
overhead.
* The original interface consisted of 27 files is replaced with the
following three files.
blkio.stat : per-blkcg stats
blkio.weight : per-cgroup and per-cgroup-queue weight settings
blkio.max : per-cgroup-queue bps and iops max limits

Currently, blkg_conf_prep() expects input to be of the following form
MAJ:MIN NUM
and reads the NUM part into blkg_conf_ctx->v. This is quite
restrictive and gets in the way in implementing blkcg interface for
the unified hierarchy. This patch updates blkg_conf_prep() so that it
expects
MAJ:MIN BODY_STR
where BODY_STR is an arbitrary string. blkg_conf_ctx->v is replaced
with ->body which is a char pointer pointing to the start of BODY_STR.
Parsing of the body is moved to blkg_conf_prep()'s callers.
To allow using, for example, strsep() on blkg_conf_ctx->val, it is a
non-const pointer and to accommodate that const is dropped from @input
too.
This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the
largest. In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has
multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number
of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have
been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and
non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs.
Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions
don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can
contain processes. cgroups is going through a major interface
revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental
usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface
doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the
interface.
As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem
name from "blkio" to "io". This is more concise, matches the other
two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as
blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an
actual block device is involved or not.
As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland
visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported
as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during
boot. On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of
io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats. While keeping track of them
separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much
sense otherwise. Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while
cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative.
This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq),
removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let
them print from the common blkg counters. The common counters are
incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check().
The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has
blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it
has never been used for a given blkg. The only times when the outputs
would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly
or elevators are switched back and forth. Those are quite exceptional
operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters.
v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly.

cgroup stats are local to each cgroup and doesn't propagate to
ancestors by default. When recursive stats are necessary, the sum is
calculated over all the descendants. This initially was for backward
compatibility to support both group-local and recursive stats but this
mode of operation makes general sense as stat update is much hotter
thafn reporting those stats.
This however ends up losing recursive stats when a child is removed.
To work around this, cfq-iosched adds its stats to its parent
cfq_group->dead_stats which is summed up together when calculating
recursive stats.
It's planned that the core stats will be moved to blkcg_gq, so we want
to move the mechanism for keeping track of the stats of dead children
from cfq to blkcg core. This patch adds blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt which
are atomic64_t's keeping track of auxiliary counts which are excluded
when reading local counts but included for recursive.
blkg_[rw]stat_merge() which were used by cfq to implement dead_stats
are replaced by blkg_[rw]stat_add_aux(), and cfq now forwards stats of
a dead cgroup to the aux counts of parent->stats instead of separate
->dead_stats.
This will also help making blkg_[rw]stats per-cpu.

blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
different policies. Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.
This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
generic_make_request_checks(). blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
only function which tries to create missing blkg's. The subsequent
policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
missing falls back to the root.
* blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg. It uses blkg_lookup()
instead of blkg_lookup_create().
* blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
read locked and blkg already looked up. Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.
* cfq is similarly updated. cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().
This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
retries under memory pressure. In addition, this provides a common
bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
performed.

The newly added ->pd_alloc_fn() and ->pd_free_fn() deal with pd

A blkg (blkcg_gq) represents the relationship between a cgroup and
request_queue. Each active policy has a pd (blkg_policy_data) on each

request to allocate extra space at the end by setting
blkcg_policy->pd_size larger than the size of pd.
This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error
handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way;
however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can
be allocated without blocking.
This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn()

simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning. This

When a policy gets activated, it needs to allocate and install its
policy data on all existing blkg's (blkcg_gq's). Because blkg
iteration is protected by a spinlock, it currently counts the total
number of blkg's in the system, allocates the matching number of
policy data on a list and installs them during a single iteration.
This can be simplified by using speculative GFP_NOWAIT allocations
while iterating and falling back to a preallocated policy data on
failure. If the preallocated one has already been consumed, it
releases the lock, preallocate with GFP_KERNEL and then restarts the
iteration. This can be a bit more expensive than before but policy
activation is a very cold path and shouldn't matter.

blkcg performs several allocations to track IOs per cgroup and enforce

e48453c386 ("block, cgroup: implement policy-specific per-blkcg
data") updated per-blkcg policy data to be dynamically allocated.
When a policy is registered, its policy data aren't created. Instead,
when the policy is activated on a queue, the policy data are allocated
if there are blkg's (blkcg_gq's) which are attached to a given blkcg.
This is buggy. Consider the following scenario.
1. A blkcg is created. No blkg's attached yet.
2. The policy is registered. No policy data is allocated.
3. The policy is activated on a queue. As the above blkcg doesn't
have any blkg's, it won't allocate the matching blkcg_policy_data.
4. An IO is issued from the blkcg and blkg is created and the blkcg
still doesn't have the matching policy data allocated.
With cfq-iosched, this leads to an oops.
It also doesn't free policy data on policy unregistration assuming
that freeing of all policy data on blkcg destruction should take care
of it; however, this also is incorrect.
1. A blkcg has policy data.
2. The policy gets unregistered but the policy data remains.
3. Another policy gets registered on the same slot.
4. Later, the new policy tries to allocate policy data on the previous
blkcg but the slot is already occupied and gets skipped. The
policy ends up operating on the policy data of the previous policy.
There's no reason to manage blkcg_policy_data lazily. The reason we
do lazy allocation of blkg's is that the number of all possible blkg's
is the product of cgroups and block devices which can reach a
surprising level. blkcg_policy_data is contrained by the number of
cgroups and shouldn't be a problem.
This patch makes blkcg_policy_data to be allocated for all existing
blkcg's on policy registration and freed on unregistration and removes
blkcg_policy_data handling from policy [de]activation paths. This
makes that blkcg_policy_data are created and removed with the policy
they belong to and fixes the above described problems.

An entry in blkcg_policy[] is stable while there are non-bypassing
in-flight IOs on a request_queue which has the policy activated. This
is why most derefs of blkcg_policy[] don't need explicit locking;
however, blkcg_css_alloc() isn't invoked from IO path and thus doesn't
have this protection and may race policies being added and removed.
Fix it by adding explicit blkcg_pol_mutex protection around
blkcg_policy[] iteration in blkcg_css_alloc().

blkcg_pol_mutex primarily protects the blkcg_policy array. It also
protects cgroup file type [un]registration during policy addition /
removal. This puts blkcg_pol_mutex outside cgroup internal
synchronization and in turn makes it impossible to grab from blkcg's
cgroup methods as that leads to cyclic dependency.
Another problematic dependency arising from this is through cgroup
interface file deactivation. Removing a cftype requires removing all
files of the type which in turn involves draining all on-going
invocations of the file methods. This means that an interface file
implementation can't grab blkcg_pol_mutex as draining can lead to AA
deadlock.
blkcg_reset_stats() is already in this situation. It currently
trylocks blkcg_pol_mutex and then unwinds and retries the whole
operation on failure, which is cumbersome at best. It has a lengthy
comment explaining how cgroup internal synchronization is involved and
expected to be updated but as explained above this doesn't need cgroup
internal locking to deadlock. It's a self-contained AA deadlock.
The described circular dependencies can be easily broken by moving
cftype [un]registration out of blkcg_pol_mutex and protect them with
an outer mutex. This patch introduces blkcg_pol_register_mutex which
wraps entire policy [un]registration including cftype operations and
shrinks blkcg_pol_mutex critical section. This also makes the trylock
dancing in blkcg_reset_stats() unnecessary. Removed.
This patch is necessary for the following blkcg_policy_data allocation
bug fixes.

Currently, per-blkcg data is freed each time a policy is deactivated,
that is also upon scheduler switch. However, when switching from a
scheduler implementing a policy which requires per-blkcg data to
another one, that same policy might be active on other devices, and
therefore those same per-blkcg data could be still in use.
This commit lets per-blkcg data be freed when the blkcg is freed
instead of on policy deactivation.

The block IO (blkio) controller enables the block layer to provide service
guarantees in a hierarchical fashion. Specifically, service guarantees
are provided by registered request-accounting policies. As of now, a
proportional-share and a throttling policy are available. They are
implemented, respectively, by the CFQ I/O scheduler and the blk-throttle
subsystem. Unfortunately, as for adding new policies, the current
implementation of the block IO controller is only halfway ready to allow
new policies to be plugged in. This commit provides a solution to make
the block IO controller fully ready to handle new policies.
In what follows, we first describe briefly the current state, and then
list the changes made by this commit.
The throttling policy does not need any per-cgroup information to perform
its task. In contrast, the proportional share policy uses, for each cgroup,
both the weight assigned by the user to the cgroup, and a set of dynamically-
computed weights, one for each device.
The first, user-defined weight is stored in the blkcg data structure: the
block IO controller allocates a private blkcg data structure for each
cgroup in the blkio cgroups hierarchy (regardless of which policy is active).
In other words, the block IO controller internally mirrors the blkio cgroups
with private blkcg data structures.
On the other hand, for each cgroup and device, the corresponding dynamically-
computed weight is maintained in the following, different way. For each device,
the block IO controller keeps a private blkcg_gq structure for each cgroup in
blkio. In other words, block IO also keeps one private mirror copy of the blkio
cgroups hierarchy for each device, made of blkcg_gq structures.
Each blkcg_gq structure keeps per-policy information in a generic array of
dynamically-allocated 'dedicated' data structures, one for each registered
policy (so currently the array contains two elements). To be inserted into the
generic array, each dedicated data structure embeds a generic blkg_policy_data
structure. Consider now the array contained in the blkcg_gq structure
corresponding to a given pair of cgroup and device: one of the elements
of the array contains the dedicated data structure for the proportional-share
policy, and this dedicated data structure contains the dynamically-computed
weight for that pair of cgroup and device.
The generic strategy adopted for storing per-policy data in blkcg_gq structures
is already capable of handling new policies, whereas the one adopted with blkcg
structures is not, because per-policy data are hard-coded in the blkcg
structures themselves (currently only data related to the proportional-
share policy).
This commit addresses the above issues through the following changes:
. It generalizes blkcg structures so that per-policy data are stored in the same
way as in blkcg_gq structures.
Specifically, it lets also the blkcg structure store per-policy data in a
generic array of dynamically-allocated dedicated data structures. We will
refer to these data structures as blkcg dedicated data structures, to
distinguish them from the dedicated data structures inserted in the generic
arrays kept by blkcg_gq structures.
To allow blkcg dedicated data structures to be inserted in the generic array
inside a blkcg structure, this commit also introduces a new blkcg_policy_data
structure, which is the equivalent of blkg_policy_data for blkcg dedicated
data structures.
. It adds to the blkcg_policy structure, i.e., to the descriptor of a policy, a
cpd_size field and a cpd_init field, to be initialized by the policy with,
respectively, the size of the blkcg dedicated data structures, and the
address of a constructor function for blkcg dedicated data structures.
. It moves the CFQ-specific fields embedded in the blkcg data structure (i.e.,
the fields related to the proportional-share policy), into a new blkcg
dedicated data structure called cfq_group_data.

A blkg (blkcg_gq) can be congested and decongested independently from
other blkgs on the same request_queue. Accordingly, for cgroup
writeback support, the congestion status at bdi (backing_dev_info)
should be split and updated separately from matching blkg's.
This patch prepares by adding blkg->wb_congested and associating a
blkg with its matching per-blkcg bdi_writeback_congested on creation.
v2: Updated to associate bdi_writeback_congested instead of
bdi_writeback.

For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi
(backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb
(bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host
multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks).
On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows
using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every
memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a
dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple
wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per
blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested
state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via
bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg.
bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup.
cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or
looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page
being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree
by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be
retrieved using inode_to_wb().
Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all
pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb.
v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside
mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.
Also, an unnecessary NULL check before kfree() removed. Both
detected by the kbuild bot.
v2: Updated so that wb association is per inode and wb is per memcg
rather than blkcg.

Currently, blkcg does a minor optimization where the root blkcg is
created when the first blkcg policy is activated on a queue and
destroyed on the deactivation of the last. On systems where blkcg is
configured but not used, this saves one blkcg_gq struct per queue. On
systems where blkcg is actually used, there's no difference. The only
case where this can lead to any meaninful, albeit still minute, save
in memory consumption is when all blkcg policies are deactivated after
being widely used in the system, which is a hihgly unlikely scenario.
The conditional existence of root blkcg_gq has already created several
bugs in blkcg and became an issue once again for the new per-cgroup
wb_congested mechanism for cgroup writeback support leading to a NULL
dereference when no blkcg policy is active. This is really not worth
bothering with. This patch makes blkcg always allocate and link the
root blkcg_gq and release it only on queue destruction.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"Mostly changes to get the v2 interface ready. The core features are
mostly ready now and I think it's reasonable to expect to drop the
devel mask in one or two devel cycles at least for a subset of
controllers.
- cgroup added a controller dependency mechanism so that block cgroup
can depend on memory cgroup. This will be used to finally support
IO provisioning on the writeback traffic, which is currently being
implemented.
- The v2 interface now uses a separate table so that the interface
files for the new interface are explicitly declared in one place.
Each controller will explicitly review and add the files for the
new interface.
- cpuset is getting ready for the hierarchical behavior which is in
the similar style with other controllers so that an ancestor's
configuration change doesn't change the descendants' configurations
irreversibly and processes aren't silently migrated when a CPU or
node goes down.
All the changes are to the new interface and no behavior changed for
the multiple hierarchies"

Currently, cftypes added by cgroup_add_cftypes() are used for both the
unified default hierarchy and legacy ones and subsystems can mark each
file with either CFTYPE_ONLY_ON_DFL or CFTYPE_INSANE if it has to
appear only on one of them. This is quite hairy and error-prone.
Also, we may end up exposing interface files to the default hierarchy
without thinking it through.
cgroup_subsys will grow two separate cftype addition functions and
apply each only on the hierarchies of the matching type. This will
allow organizing cftypes in a lot clearer way and encourage subsystems
to scrutinize the interface which is being exposed in the new default
hierarchy.
In preparation, this patch adds cgroup_add_legacy_cftypes() which
currently is a simple wrapper around cgroup_add_cftypes() and replaces
all cgroup_add_cftypes() usages with it.
While at it, this patch drops a completely spurious return from
__hugetlb_cgroup_file_init().
This patch doesn't introduce any functional differences.

776687bce4 ("block, blk-mq: draining can't be skipped even if
bypass_depth was non-zero") made it easier to trigger this bug by
making blk_queue_bypass_start() drain even when it loses the first
bypass test to blk_cleanup_queue(); however, the bug has always been
there even before the commit as blk_queue_bypass_start() could race
against queue destruction, win the initial bypass test but perform the
actual draining after blk_cleanup_queue() already destroyed all blkgs.
Fix it by skippping calling into policy draining if all the blkgs are
already gone.

Currently, the blkio subsystem attributes all of writeback IOs to the
root. One of the issues is that there's no way to tell who originated
a writeback IO from block layer. Those IOs are usually issued
asynchronously from a task which didn't have anything to do with
actually generating the dirty pages. The memory subsystem, when
enabled, already keeps track of the ownership of each dirty page and
it's desirable for blkio to piggyback instead of adding its own
per-page tag.
cgroup now has a mechanism to express such dependency -
cgroup_subsys->depends_on. This patch declares that blkcg depends on
memcg so that memcg is enabled automatically on the default hierarchy
when available. Future changes will make blkcg map the memcg tag to
find out the cgroup to blame for writeback IOs.
As this means that a memcg may be made invisible, this patch also
implements css_reset() for memcg which resets its basic
configurations. This implementation will probably need to be expanded
to cover other states which are used in the default hierarchy.
v2: blkcg's dependency on memcg is wrapped with CONFIG_MEMCG to avoid
build failure. Reported by kbuild test robot.

Hello,
So, this patch should do. Joe, Vivek, can one of you guys please
verify that the oops goes away with this patch?
Jens, the original thread can be read at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1720729
The fix converts blkg->refcnt from int to atomic_t. It does some
overhead but it should be minute compared to everything else which is
going on and the involved cacheline bouncing, so I think it's highly
unlikely to cause any noticeable difference. Also, the refcnt in
question should be converted to a perpcu_ref for blk-mq anyway, so the
atomic_t is likely to go away pretty soon anyway.
Thanks.

__blkg_release_rcu() may be invoked after the associated request_queue
is released with a RCU grace period inbetween. As such, the function
and callbacks invoked from it must not dereference the associated
request_queue. This is clearly indicated in the comment above the
function.
Unfortunately, while trying to fix a different issue, 2a4fd070ee
("blkcg: move bulk of blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU
callback") ignored this and added [un]locking of @blkg->q->queue_lock
to __blkg_release_rcu(). This of course can cause oops as the

The request_queue locking was added because blkcg_gq->refcnt is an int
protected with the queue lock and __blkg_release_rcu() needs to put
the parent. Let's fix it by making blkcg_gq->refcnt an atomic_t and
dropping queue locking in the function.
Given the general heavy weight of the current request_queue and blkcg
operations, this is unlikely to cause any noticeable overhead.
Moreover, blkcg_gq->refcnt is likely to be converted to percpu_ref in
the near future, so whatever (most likely negligible) overhead it may
add is temporary.

Unlike the more usual refcnting, what css_tryget() provides is the
distinction between online and offline csses instead of protection
against upping a refcnt which already reached zero. cgroup is
planning to provide actual tryget which fails if the refcnt already
reached zero. Let's rename the existing trygets so that they clearly
indicate that they're onliness.
I thought about keeping the existing names as-are and introducing new
names for the planned actual tryget; however, given that each
controller participates in the synchronization of the online state, it
seems worthwhile to make it explicit that these functions are about
on/offline state.
Rename css_tryget() to css_tryget_online() and css_tryget_from_dir()
to css_tryget_online_from_dir(). This is pure rename.
v2: cgroup_freezer grew new usages of css_tryget(). Update
accordingly.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot updates for cgroup:
- The biggest one is cgroup's conversion to kernfs. cgroup took
after the long abandoned vfs-entangled sysfs implementation and
made it even more convoluted over time. cgroup's internal objects
were fused with vfs objects which also brought in vfs locking and
object lifetime rules. Naturally, there are places where vfs rules
don't fit and nasty hacks, such as credential switching or lock
dance interleaving inode mutex and cgroup_mutex with object serial
number comparison thrown in to decide whether the operation is
actually necessary, needed to be employed.
After conversion to kernfs, internal object lifetime and locking
rules are mostly isolated from vfs interactions allowing shedding
of several nasty hacks and overall simplification. This will also
allow implmentation of operations which may affect multiple cgroups
which weren't possible before as it would have required nesting
i_mutexes.
- Various simplifications including dropping of module support,
easier cgroup name/path handling, simplified cgroup file type
handling and task_cg_lists optimization.
- Prepatory changes for the planned unified hierarchy, which is still
a patchset away from being actually operational. The dummy
hierarchy is updated to serve as the default unified hierarchy.
Controllers which aren't claimed by other hierarchies are
associated with it, which BTW was what the dummy hierarchy was for
anyway.
- Various fixes from Li and others. This pull request includes some
patches to add missing slab.h to various subsystems. This was
triggered xattr.h include removal from cgroup.h. cgroup.h
indirectly got included a lot of files which brought in xattr.h
which brought in slab.h.
There are several merge commits - one to pull in kernfs updates
necessary for converting cgroup (already in upstream through
driver-core), others for interfering changes in the fixes branch"

If the code is looking at the RCU-protected pointer itself, but not

cgroup_subsys is a bit messier than it needs to be.
* The name of a subsys can be different from its internal identifier
defined in cgroup_subsys.h. Most subsystems use the matching name
but three - cpu, memory and perf_event - use different ones.
* cgroup_subsys_id enums are postfixed with _subsys_id and each
cgroup_subsys is postfixed with _subsys. cgroup.h is widely
included throughout various subsystems, it doesn't and shouldn't
have claim on such generic names which don't have any qualifier
indicating that they belong to cgroup.
* cgroup_subsys->subsys_id should always equal the matching
cgroup_subsys_id enum; however, we require each controller to
initialize it and then BUG if they don't match, which is a bit
silly.
This patch cleans up cgroup_subsys names and initialization by doing
the followings.
* cgroup_subsys_id enums are now postfixed with _cgrp_id, and each
cgroup_subsys with _cgrp_subsys.
* With the above, renaming subsys identifiers to match the userland
visible names doesn't cause any naming conflicts. All non-matching
identifiers are renamed to match the official names.
cpu_cgroup -> cpu
mem_cgroup -> memory
perf -> perf_event
* controllers no longer need to initialize ->subsys_id and ->name.
They're generated in cgroup core and set automatically during boot.
* Redundant cgroup_subsys declarations removed.
* While updating BUG_ON()s in cgroup_init_early(), convert them to
WARN()s. BUGging that early during boot is stupid - the kernel
can't print anything, even through serial console and the trap
handler doesn't even link stack frame properly for back-tracing.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

With module supported dropped from net_prio, no controller is using

controllers as ordered in cgroup_subsys.h.

specification is no longer necessary and dropped.

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

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.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup.
Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods
for rationale.
This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of
@cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem
pointer set. These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the
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.
Updated accordingly.

cgroup is transitioning to using css (cgroup_subsys_state) instead of
cgroup as the primary subsystem handle. The cgroupfs file interface
will be converted to use css's which requires finding out the
subsystem from cftype so that the matching css can be determined from
the cgroup.
This patch adds cftype->ss which points to the subsystem the file
belongs to. The field is initialized while a cftype is being
registered. This makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
subsystem for other cftype handling functions. @ss argument dropped

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
leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too. Suggested
by Li Zefan.

With the recent updates, blk-throttle is finally ready for proper
hierarchy support. Dispatching now honors service_queue->parent_sq

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.
