This reverts commit 7e70aa789d.
Now that we have the patches ("blk-mq: In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list()
"no budget" is a reason to kick") and ("blk-mq: Rerun dispatching in
the case of budget contention") we should no longer need the fix in
the SCSI code. Revert it, resolving conflicts with other patches that
have touched this code.
With this revert (and the two new patches) I can run the script that
was in commit 7e70aa789d ("scsi: core: run queue if SCSI device
queue isn't ready and queue is idle") in a loop with no failure. If I
do this revert without the two new patches I can easily get a failure.

If ever a thread running blk-mq code tries to get budget and fails it
immediately stops doing work and assumes that whenever budget is freed
up that queues will be kicked and whatever work the thread was trying
to do will be tried again.
One path where budget is freed and queues are kicked in the normal
case can be seen in scsi_finish_command(). Specifically:
- scsi_finish_command()
- scsi_device_unbusy()
- # Decrement "device_busy", AKA release budget
- scsi_io_completion()
- scsi_end_request()
- blk_mq_run_hw_queues()
The above is all well and good. The problem comes up when a thread
claims the budget but then releases it without actually dispatching
any work. Since we didn't schedule any work we'll never run the path
of finishing work / kicking the queues.
This isn't often actually a problem which is why this issue has
existed for a while and nobody noticed. Specifically we only get into
this situation when we unexpectedly found that we weren't going to do
any work. Code that later receives new work kicks the queues. All
good, right?
The problem shows up, however, if timing is just wrong and we hit a
race. To see this race let's think about the case where we only have
a budget of 1 (only one thread can hold budget). Now imagine that a
thread got budget and then decided not to dispatch work. It's about
to call put_budget() but then the thread gets context switched out for
a long, long time. While in this state, any and all kicks of the
queue (like the when we received new work) will be no-ops because
nobody can get budget. Finally the thread holding budget gets to run
again and returns. All the normal kicks will have been no-ops and we
have an I/O stall.
As you can see from the above, you need just the right timing to see
the race. To start with, the only case it happens if we thought we
had work, actually managed to get the budget, but then actually didn't
have work. That's pretty rare to start with. Even then, there's
usually a very small amount of time between realizing that there's no
work and putting the budget. During this small amount of time new
work has to come in and the queue kick has to make it all the way to
trying to get the budget and fail. It's pretty unlikely.
One case where this could have failed is illustrated by an example of
threads running blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched():
* Threads A and B both run has_work() at the same time with the same
"hctx". Imagine has_work() is exact. There's no lock, so it's OK
if Thread A and B both get back true.
* Thread B gets interrupted for a long time right after it decides
that there is work. Maybe its CPU gets an interrupt and the
interrupt handler is slow.
* Thread A runs, get budget, dispatches work.
* Thread A's work finishes and budget is released.
* Thread B finally runs again and gets budget.
* Since Thread A already took care of the work and no new work has
come in, Thread B will get NULL from dispatch_request(). I believe
this is specifically why dispatch_request() is allowed to return
NULL in the first place if has_work() must be exact.
* Thread B will now be holding the budget and is about to call
put_budget(), but hasn't called it yet.
* Thread B gets interrupted for a long time (again). Dang interrupts.
* Now Thread C (maybe with a different "hctx" but the same queue)
comes along and runs blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched().
* Thread C won't do anything because it can't get budget.
* Finally Thread B will run again and put the budget without kicking
any queues.
Even though the example above is with blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() I
believe the race is possible any time someone is holding budget but
doesn't do work.
Unfortunately, the unlikely has become more likely if you happen to be
using the BFQ I/O scheduler. BFQ, by design, sometimes returns "true"
for has_work() but then NULL for dispatch_request() and stays in this
state for a while (currently up to 9 ms). Suddenly you only need one
race to hit, not two races in a row. With my current setup this is
easy to reproduce in reboot tests and traces have actually shown that
we hit a race similar to the one described above.
Note that we only need to fix blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() and
blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx() and not the other places that put budget. In
other cases we know that we have work to do on at least one "hctx" and
code already exists to kick that "hctx"'s queue. When that work
finally finishes all the queues will be kicked using the normal flow.
One last note is that (at least in the SCSI case) budget is shared by
all "hctx"s that have the same queue. Thus we need to make sure to
kick the whole queue, not just re-run dispatching on a single "hctx".

In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), if blk_mq_sched_needs_restart() returns
true and the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE then we'll kick the
queue. However, there's another case where we might need to kick it.
If we were unable to get budget we can be in much the same state as
when the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE, so we should treat it the
same.
It should be noted that even if we add a whole bunch of extra kicking
to the queue in other patches this patch is still important.
Specifically any kicking that happened before we re-spliced leftover
requests into 'hctx->dispatch' wouldn't have found any work, so we
really need to make sure we kick ourselves after we've done the
splicing.

The problem appears related to the fact that my USB disk is terribly
slow and that I have a lot of RAM in my system to cache things.
Specifically my writes seem to be happening at ~15 MB/s and I've got
~4 GB of RAM in my system that can be used for buffering. To write 4
GB of buffer to disk thus takes ~4000 MB / ~15 MB/s = ~267 seconds.
The 267 second number is a problem because in __blkdev_put() we call
sync_blockdev() while holding the bd_mutex. Any other callers who
want the bd_mutex will be blocked for the whole time.
The problem is made worse because I believe blkdev_put() specifically
tells other tasks (namely udev) to go try to access the device at right
around the same time we're going to hold the mutex for a long time.
Putting some traces around this (after disabling the hung task detector),
I could confirm:
dd: 437.608600: __blkdev_put() right before sync_blockdev() for sdb
udevd: 437.623901: blkdev_open() right before blkdev_get() for sdb
dd: 661.468451: __blkdev_put() right after sync_blockdev() for sdb
udevd: 663.820426: blkdev_open() right after blkdev_get() for sdb
A simple fix for this is to realize that sync_blockdev() works fine if
you're not holding the mutex. Also, it's not the end of the world if
you sync a little early (though it can have performance impacts).
Thus we can make a guess that we're going to need to do the sync and
then do it without holding the mutex. We still do one last sync with
the mutex but it should be much, much faster.
With this, my hung task warnings for my test case are gone.

When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped
into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become
split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually
be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet
been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end
of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to
become split again.
However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which
means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually
split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where
we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up
putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely
unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in
incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted,
and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment.
There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently
accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong.
We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's
all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that
location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of
the munmap at the start of the mremap.

Hi Linus,
Please, pull the following patches that replace zero-length arrays with
flexible-array members.
The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible array
members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of code in
which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously applied to
zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances may be hiding
some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member convertions) will also
help to get completely rid of those sorts of issues.
Notice that all of these patches have been baking in linux-next for
quite a while now and, 238 more of these patches have already been
merged into 5.7-rc1.
There are a couple hundred more of these issues waiting to be addressed
in the whole codebase.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2],
introduced in C99:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo array[];
};
By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
this change:
"Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator
may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of
zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
