For devices that does not specify a limit on its transfer size, the
get_chk_meta command may send down a single I/O retrieving the full

split up the I/Os to a maximum of 256KB and issue them separately to

Some devices can expose mw_cunits equal to 0, it can cause the
creation of too small write buffer and cause performance to drop
on write workloads.
Additionally, write buffer size must cover write data requirements,
such as WS_MIN and MW_CUNITS - it must be greater than or equal to
the larger one multiplied by the number of PUs. However, for
performance reasons, use the WS_OPT value to calculation instead of
WS_MIN.
Because the place where buffer size is calculated was changed, this

The code poses a security risk due to user memory access in ->release
and had an API that can't be used reliably. As far as we know it was
never used for real, but if that turns out wrong we'll have to revert
this commit and come up with a band aid.
Jann Horn did look software archives for users of this interface,
and the only users found were example code in sg3_utils, and optional
support in an optional module of the tgt user space iscsi target,
which looks like a proof of concept extension of the /dev/sg
read/write support.
Tony Battersby chimes in that the code is basically unsafe to use in
general:
The read/write interface on /dev/bsg is impossible to use safely
because the list of completed commands is per-device (bd->done_list)
rather than per-fd like it is with /dev/sg. So if program A and
program B are both using the write/read interface on the same bsg
device, then their command responses will get mixed up, and program
A will read() some command results from program B and vice versa.
So no, I don't use read/write on /dev/bsg. From a security standpoint,
it should definitely be fixed or removed.

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.

Currently io.low uses a bi_cg_private to stash its private data for the
blkg, however other blkcg policies may want to use this as well. Since
we can get the private data out of the blkg, move this to bi_blkg in the
bio and make it generic, then we can use bio_associate_blkg() to attach
the blkg to the bio.
Theoretically we could simply replace the bi_css with this since we can
get to all the same information from the blkg, however you have to
lookup the blkg, so for example wbc_init_bio() would have to lookup and
possibly allocate the blkg for the css it was trying to attach to the
bio. This could be problematic and result in us either not attaching
the css at all to the bio, or falling back to the root blkcg if we are
unable to allocate the corresponding blkg.
So for now do this, and in the future if possible we could just replace
the bi_css with bi_blkg and update the helpers to do the correct
translation.

1) blk-mq core can deal with shared-tags case well via blk_mq_get_driver_tag(),
which can wake up queues waiting for driver tag.
2) SCSI is a bit special because it may return BLK_STS_RESOURCE if queue,
target or host is ready, but SCSI built-in restart can cover all these well,
see scsi_end_request(), queue will be rerun after any request initiated from
this host/target is completed.
In my test on scsi_debug(8 luns), this patch may improve IOPS by 20% ~ 30%
when running I/O on these 8 luns concurrently.

Now hctx->lock is only acquired when adding hctx->dispatch_wait to
one wait queue, but not held when removing it from the wait queue.
IO hang can be observed easily if SCHED RESTART is disabled, that means
now RESTART exits just for fixing the issue in blk_mq_mark_tag_wait().
This patch fixes the issue by introducing hctx->dispatch_wait_lock and
holding it for removing hctx->dispatch_wait in blk_mq_dispatch_wake(),
since we need to avoid acquiring hctx->lock in irq context.
