If we have shared tags enabled, then every IO completion will trigger
a full loop of every queue belonging to a tag set, and every hardware
queue for each of those queues, even if nothing needs to be done.
This causes a massive performance regression if you have a lot of
shared devices.
Instead of doing this huge full scan on every IO, add an atomic
counter to the main queue that tracks how many hardware queues have
been marked as needing a restart. With that, we can avoid looking for
restartable queues, if we don't have to.
Max reports that this restores performance. Before this patch, 4K
IOPS was limited to 22-23K IOPS. With the patch, we are running at
950-970K IOPS.

A new bio operation flag REQ_NOWAIT is introduced to identify bio's
orignating from iocb with IOCB_NOWAIT. This flag indicates
to return immediately if a request cannot be made instead
of retrying.
Stacked devices such as md (the ones with make_request_fn hooks)
currently are not supported because it may block for housekeeping.
For example, an md can have a part of the device suspended.
For this reason, only request based devices are supported.
In the future, this feature will be expanded to stacked devices
by teaching them how to handle the REQ_NOWAIT flags.

So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the
code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry.
Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are
not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case
the 'task_list' name is actively confusing.
To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure
fields unambiguously:
struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head
struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry
For example, this code:
rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list
... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way:
rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry
... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head.
Other examples are:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) {
list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) {
... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's
hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be
a bug), while now it's written as:
list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) {

'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",

which had to carry the name.
Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',

blk_bio_segment_split() makes sure bios have no more than

This was done because bio_clone_bioset() (when given a

No driver uses bio_clone_bioset() any more, they all

Since commit 23688bf4f8 ("block: ensure to split after potentially
bouncing a bio") blk_queue_bounce() is called *before*
blk_queue_split().
This means that:
1/ the comments blk_queue_split() about bounce buffers are
irrelevant, and
2/ a very large bio (more than BIO_MAX_PAGES) will no longer be
split before it arrives at blk_queue_bounce(), leading to the
possibility that bio_clone_bioset() will fail and a NULL
will be dereferenced.
Separately, blk_queue_bounce() shouldn't use fs_bio_set as the bio
being copied could be from the same set, and this could lead to a
deadlock.
So:
- allocate 2 private biosets for blk_queue_bounce, one for
splitting enormous bios and one for cloning bios.
- add code to split a bio that exceeds BIO_MAX_PAGES.
- Fix up the comments in blk_queue_split()

A rescuing bioset is only useful if there might be bios from
that same bioset on the bio_list_on_stack queue at a time
when bio_alloc_bioset() is called. This never applies to
q->bio_split.
Allocations from q->bio_split are only ever made from
blk_queue_split() which is only ever called early in each of
various make_request_fn()s. The original bio (call this A)
is then passed to generic_make_request() and is placed on
the bio_list_on_stack queue, and the bio that was allocated
from q->bio_split (B) is processed.
The processing of this may cause other bios to be passed to
generic_make_request() or may even cause the bio B itself to
be passed, possible after some prefix has been split off
(using some other bioset).
generic_make_request() now guarantees that all of these bios
(B and dependants) will be fully processed before the tail
of the original bio A gets handled. None of these early bios
can possible trigger an allocation from the original
q->bio_split as they are either too small to require
splitting or (more likely) are destined for a different queue.
The next time that the original q->bio_split might be used
by this thread is when A is processed again, as it might
still be too big to handle directly. By this time there
cannot be any other bios allocated from q->bio_split in the
generic_make_request() queue. So no rescuing will ever be
needed.

All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers,

biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not
need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other
bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool,

biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.
For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.
blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

In blk-cgroup, operations on blkg objects are protected with the
request_queue lock. This is no more the lock that protects
I/O-scheduler operations in blk-mq. In fact, the latter are now
protected with a finer-grained per-scheduler-instance lock. As a
consequence, although blkg lookups are also rcu-protected, blk-mq I/O
schedulers may see inconsistent data when they access blkg and
blkg-related objects. BFQ does access these objects, and does incur
this problem, in the following case.
The blkg_lookup performed in bfq_get_queue, being protected (only)
through rcu, may happen to return the address of a copy of the
original blkg. If this is the case, then the blkg_get performed in
bfq_get_queue, to pin down the blkg, is useless: it does not prevent
blk-cgroup code from destroying both the original blkg and all objects
directly or indirectly referred by the copy of the blkg. BFQ accesses
these objects, which typically causes a crash for NULL-pointer
dereference of memory-protection violation.
Some additional protection mechanism should be added to blk-cgroup to
address this issue. In the meantime, this commit provides a quick
temporary fix for BFQ: cache (when safe) blkg data that might
disappear right after a blkg_lookup.
In particular, this commit exploits the following facts to achieve its
goal without introducing further locks. Destroy operations on a blkg
invoke, as a first step, hooks of the scheduler associated with the
blkg. And these hooks are executed with bfqd->lock held for BFQ. As a
consequence, for any blkg associated with the request queue an
instance of BFQ is attached to, we are guaranteed that such a blkg is
not destroyed, and that all the pointers it contains are consistent,
while that instance is holding its bfqd->lock. A blkg_lookup performed
with bfqd->lock held then returns a fully consistent blkg, which
remains consistent until this lock is held. In more detail, this holds
even if the returned blkg is a copy of the original one.
Finally, also the object describing a group inside BFQ needs to be
protected from destruction on the blkg_free of the original blkg
(which invokes bfq_pd_free). This commit adds private refcounting for
this object, to let it disappear only after no bfq_queue refers to it
any longer.
This commit also removes or updates some stale comments on locking
issues related to blk-cgroup operations.

hard disk IO latency varies a lot depending on spindle move. The latency
range could be from several microseconds to several milliseconds. It's
pretty hard to get the baseline latency used by io.low.
We will use a different stragety here. The idea is only using IO with
spindle move to determine if cgroup IO is in good state. For HD, if io
latency is small (< 1ms), we ignore the IO. Such IO is likely from
sequential IO, and is helpless to help determine if a cgroup's IO is
impacted by other cgroups. With this, we only account IO with big
latency. Then we can choose a hardcoded baseline latency for HD (4ms,
which is typical IO latency with seek). With all these settings, the
io.low latency works for both HD and SSD.

When adding a cfq_group into the cfq service tree, we use CFQ_IDLE_DELAY
as the delay of cfq_group's vdisktime if there have been other cfq_groups
already.
When cfq is under iops mode, commit 9a7f38c42c ("cfq-iosched: Convert
from jiffies to nanoseconds") could result in a large iops delay and
lead to an abnormal io schedule delay for the added cfq_group. To fix
it, we just need to revert to the old CFQ_IDLE_DELAY value: HZ / 5
when iops mode is enabled.
Despite having the same value, the delay of a cfq_queue in idle class
and the delay of cfq_group are different things, so I define two new
macros for the delay of a cfq_group under time-slice mode and iops mode.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Incremental fixes and a small feature addition on top of the main
libnvdimm 4.12 pull request:
- Geert noticed that tinyconfig was bloated by BLOCK selecting DAX.
The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the
dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and
dax-capable drivers. He also asked for clarification of the
NR_DEV_DAX config option which, on closer look, does not need to be

for good measure.
- Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a
case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a
condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged
for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api
to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13.
- Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending
review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when
initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem
namespace.
- Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke
__dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this
path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing
this before submitting the 4.12 pull request.

The introduction of the BFQ and Kyber I/O schedulers has triggered a
new wave of I/O benchmarks. Unfortunately, comments and discussions on
these benchmarks confirm that there is still little awareness that it
is very hard to achieve, at the same time, a low latency and a high
throughput. In particular, virtually all benchmarks measure
throughput, or throughput-related figures of merit, but, for BFQ, they
use the scheduler in its default configuration. This configuration is
geared, instead, toward a low latency. This is evidently a sign that
BFQ documentation is still too unclear on this important aspect. This
commit addresses this issue by stressing how BFQ configuration must be
(easily) changed if the only goal is maximum throughput.

The cpu hotplug path will hold cpu_hotplug.lock and then reinit all exiting
queues for blk mq w/ all_q_mutex, however, blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() will
contend these two locks in the inversion order. This is due to commit eabe06595d
(blk/mq: Cure cpu hotplug lock inversion), it fixes a cpu hotplug lock inversion
issue because of hotplug rework, however the hotplug rework is still work-in-progress
and lives in a -tip branch and mainline cannot yet trigger that splat. The commit
breaks the linus's tree in the merge window, so this patch reverts the lock order
and avoids to splat linus's tree.

* Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent
to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via
the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces
in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax"
or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors
generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This
subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section
9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and
submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices.
* Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by
a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax
capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes
the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a
persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures
and platforms to add customized persistent memory support.
* 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory
controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be
flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh)
mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included
to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area
is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes,
also tagged for -stable.
* ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add
DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload
debug available by default, and various fixes.

Add missing seq_file.h header in blk-mq-debugfs.h
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
Originally, I tied debugfs registration/unregistration together with
sysfs. There's no reason to do this, and it's getting in the way of
letting schedulers define their own debugfs attributes. Instead, tie the
debugfs registration to the lifetime of the structures themselves.
The saner lifetimes mean we can also get rid of the extra mq directory
and move everything one level up. I.e., nvme0n1/mq/hctx0/tags is now
just nvme0n1/hctx0/tags.

In commit e869b5462f ("blk-mq: Unregister debugfs attributes
earlier"), we shuffled the debugfs cleanup around so that the "state"
attribute was removed before we freed the blk-mq data structures.
However, later changes are going to undo that, so we need to explicitly
disallow running a dead queue.

A large part of blk-mq-debugfs.c is file_operations and seq_file
boilerplate. This sucks as is but will suck even more when schedulers
can define their own debugfs entries. Factor it all out into a single
blk_mq_debugfs_fops which multiplexes as needed. We store the
request_queue, blk_mq_hw_ctx, or blk_mq_ctx in the parent directory
dentry, which is kind of hacky, but it works.

blk_queue_flags_store() currently truncates and returns a short write if

like here:

A previous commit introduced the sync flush, which we need from
internal callers like blk_mq_quiesce_queue(). However, we also
call the stop helpers from drivers, particularly from ->queue_rq()
when we have to stop processing for a bit. We can't block from
those locations, and we don't have to guarantee that we're
fully flushed.

Remove the request_idx parameter, which can't be used safely now that we
support I/O schedulers with blk-mq. Except for a superflous check in
mtip32xx it was unused anyway.
Also pass the tag_set instead of just the driver data - this allows drivers
to avoid some code duplication in a follow on cleanup.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
- Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
From Paolo.
- Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.
- A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
times, solving various problems with hot removal.
- A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
device.
- A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.
- A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
more than a decade.
- Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.
- blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
marked experimental for now.
- Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
IO.
- A few fixes for opal, from Scott.
- A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.
- A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from
the blk-mq debugfs support.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also

Commit 99e6608c9e "block: Add badblock management for gendisks"
allowed for drivers like pmem and software-raid to advertise a list of
bad media areas. However, it inadvertently added a 'badblocks' to all
block devices. Lets clean this up by having the 'badblocks' attribute
not be visible when the driver has not populated a 'struct badblocks'
instance in the gendisk.

The only difference between ->run_work and ->delay_work, is that
the latter is used to defer running a queue. This is done by
marking the queue stopped, and scheduling ->delay_work to run
sometime in the future. While the queue is stopped, direct runs
or runs through ->run_work will not run the queue.
If we combine the handlers, then we need to handle two things:
1) If a delayed/stopped run is scheduled, then we should not run
the queue before that has been completed.
2) If a queue is delayed/stopped, the handler needs to restart
the queue. Normally a run of a queue with the stopped bit set
would be a no-op.
Case 1 is handled by modifying a currently pending queue run
to the deadline set by the caller of blk_mq_delay_queue().
Subsequent attempts to queue a queue run will find the work
item already pending, and direct runs will see a stopped queue
as before.
Case 2 is handled by adding a new bit, BLK_MQ_S_START_ON_RUN,
that tells the work handler that it should clear a stopped
queue and run the handler.

At least one driver, mtip32xx, has a hard coded dependency on
the value of the reserved tag used for internal commands. While
that should really be fixed up, for now let's ensure that we just
bypass the scheduler tags an allocation marked as reserved. They
are used for house keeping or error handling, so we can safely

We currently call blk_mq_free_queue() from blk_cleanup_queue()
before we unregister the debugfs attributes for that queue in
blk_release_queue(). This leaves a window open during which
accessing most of the mq debugfs attributes would cause a
use-after-free. Additionally, the "state" attribute allows
running the queue, which we should not do after the queue has
entered the "dead" state. Fix both cases by unregistering the
debugfs attributes before freeing queue resources starts.

commit d1a5f2b4d8 ("block: use DAX for partition table reads") was
part of a stalled effort to allow dax mappings of block devices. Since
then the device-dax mechanism has filled the role of dax-mapping static
device ranges.
Now that we are moving ->direct_access() from a block_device operation
to a dax_inode operation we would need block devices to map and carry
their own dax_inode reference.
Unless / until we decide to revive dax mapping of raw block devices
through the dax_inode scheme, there is no need to carry
read_dax_sector(). Its removal in turn allows for the removal of
bdev_direct_access() and should have been included in commit
2237570168 ("block_dev: remove DAX leftovers").

Commit 25520d55cd ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk")
introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership
of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity
profile is registered:
if (bi->profile)
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |=
BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
else
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &=
~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it
impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions
and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be
trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and
hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can
be triggered from userspace at any time. This breaks rbd, where the
ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs.
Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering
the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
setting there. This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and
use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't
but still want stable pages.

When CFQ is used as an elevator, it disables writeback throttling
because they don't play well together. Later when a different elevator
is chosen for the device, writeback throttling doesn't get enabled
again as it should. Make sure CFQ enables writeback throttling (if it
should be enabled by default) when we switch from it to another IO

The BFQ I/O scheduler features an optimal fair-queuing
(proportional-share) scheduling algorithm, enriched with several
mechanisms to boost throughput and reduce latency for interactive and
real-time applications. This makes BFQ a large and complex piece of
code. This commit addresses this issue by splitting BFQ into three
main, independent components, and by moving each component into a
separate source file:
1. Main algorithm: handles the interaction with the kernel, and
decides which requests to dispatch; it uses the following two further
components to achieve its goals.
2. Scheduling engine (Hierarchical B-WF2Q+ scheduling algorithm):
computes the schedule, using weights and budgets provided by the above
component.
3. cgroups support: handles group operations (creation, destruction,
move, ...).

When a bfq queue is set in service and when it is merged, a reference
to the I/O context associated with the queue is taken. This reference
is then released when the queue is deselected from service or
split. More precisely, the release of the reference is postponed to
when the scheduler lock is released, to avoid nesting between the
scheduler and the I/O-context lock. In fact, such nesting would lead
to deadlocks, because of other code paths that take the same locks in
the opposite order. This postponing of I/O-context releases does
complicate code.
This commit addresses these issue by modifying involved operations in
such a way to not need to get the above I/O-context references any
more. Then it also removes any get and release of these references.

Many popular I/O-intensive services or applications spawn or
reactivate many parallel threads/processes during short time
intervals. Examples are systemd during boot or git grep. These
services or applications benefit mostly from a high throughput: the
quicker the I/O generated by their processes is cumulatively served,
the sooner the target job of these services or applications gets
completed. As a consequence, it is almost always counterproductive to
weight-raise any of the queues associated to the processes of these
services or applications: in most cases it would just lower the
throughput, mainly because weight-raising also implies device idling.
To address this issue, an I/O scheduler needs, first, to detect which
queues are associated with these services or applications. In this
respect, we have that, from the I/O-scheduler standpoint, these
services or applications cause bursts of activations, i.e.,
activations of different queues occurring shortly after each
other. However, a shorter burst of activations may be caused also by
the start of an application that does not consist in a lot of parallel
I/O-bound threads (see the comments on the function bfq_handle_burst
for details).
In view of these facts, this commit introduces:
1) an heuristic to detect (only) bursts of queue activations caused by
services or applications consisting in many parallel I/O-bound
threads;
2) the prevention of device idling and weight-raising for the queues
belonging to these bursts.

This patch is basically the counterpart, for NCQ-capable rotational
devices, of the previous patch. Exactly as the previous patch does on
flash-based devices and for any workload, this patch disables device
idling on rotational devices, but only for random I/O. In fact, only
with these queues disabling idling boosts the throughput on
NCQ-capable rotational devices. To not break service guarantees,
idling is disabled for NCQ-enabled rotational devices only when the
same symmetry conditions considered in the previous patches hold.

This patch boosts the throughput on NCQ-capable flash-based devices,
while still preserving latency guarantees for interactive and soft
real-time applications. The throughput is boosted by just not idling
the device when the in-service queue remains empty, even if the queue
is sync and has a non-null idle window. This helps to keep the drive's
internal queue full, which is necessary to achieve maximum
performance. This solution to boost the throughput is a port of
commits a68bbdd and f7d7b7a for CFQ.
As already highlighted in a previous patch, allowing the device to
prefetch and internally reorder requests trivially causes loss of
control on the request service order, and hence on service guarantees.
Fortunately, as discussed in detail in the comments on the function
bfq_bfqq_may_idle(), if every process has to receive the same
fraction of the throughput, then the service order enforced by the
internal scheduler of a flash-based device is relatively close to that
enforced by BFQ. In particular, it is close enough to let service
guarantees be substantially preserved.
Things change in an asymmetric scenario, i.e., if not every process
has to receive the same fraction of the throughput. In this case, to
guarantee the desired throughput distribution, the device must be
prevented from prefetching requests. This is exactly what this patch
does in asymmetric scenarios.

A seeky queue (i..e, a queue containing random requests) is assigned a
very small device-idling slice, for throughput issues. Unfortunately,
given the process associated with a seeky queue, this behavior causes
the following problem: if the process, say P, performs sync I/O and
has a higher weight than some other processes doing I/O and associated
with non-seeky queues, then BFQ may fail to guarantee to P its
reserved share of the throughput. The reason is that idling is key
for providing service guarantees to processes doing sync I/O [1].
This commit addresses this issue by allowing the device-idling slice
to be reduced for a seeky queue only if the scenario happens to be
symmetric, i.e., if all the queues are to receive the same share of
the throughput.

A set of processes may happen to perform interleaved reads, i.e.,
read requests whose union would give rise to a sequential read pattern.
There are two typical cases: first, processes reading fixed-size chunks
of data at a fixed distance from each other; second, processes reading
variable-size chunks at variable distances. The latter case occurs for
example with QEMU, which splits the I/O generated by a guest into
multiple chunks, and lets these chunks be served by a pool of I/O
threads, iteratively assigning the next chunk of I/O to the first
available thread. CFQ denotes as 'cooperating' a set of processes that
are doing interleaved I/O, and when it detects cooperating processes,
it merges their queues to obtain a sequential I/O pattern from the union
of their I/O requests, and hence boost the throughput.
Unfortunately, in the following frequent case, the mechanism
implemented in CFQ for detecting cooperating processes and merging
their queues is not responsive enough to handle also the fluctuating
I/O pattern of the second type of processes. Suppose that one process
of the second type issues a request close to the next request to serve
of another process of the same type. At that time the two processes
would be considered as cooperating. But, if the request issued by the
first process is to be merged with some other already-queued request,
then, from the moment at which this request arrives, to the moment
when CFQ controls whether the two processes are cooperating, the two
processes are likely to be already doing I/O in distant zones of the
disk surface or device memory.
CFQ uses however preemption to get a sequential read pattern out of
the read requests performed by the second type of processes too. As a
consequence, CFQ uses two different mechanisms to achieve the same
goal: boosting the throughput with interleaved I/O.
This patch introduces Early Queue Merge (EQM), a unified mechanism to
get a sequential read pattern with both types of processes. The main
idea is to immediately check whether a newly-arrived request lets some
pair of processes become cooperating, both in the case of actual
request insertion and, to be responsive with the second type of
processes, in the case of request merge. Both types of processes are
then handled by just merging their queues.

This patch introduces an heuristic that reduces latency when the
I/O-request pool is saturated. This goal is achieved by disabling
device idling, for non-weight-raised queues, when there are weight-
raised queues with pending or in-flight requests. In fact, as
explained in more detail in the comment on the function
bfq_bfqq_may_idle(), this reduces the rate at which processes
associated with non-weight-raised queues grab requests from the pool,
thereby increasing the probability that processes associated with
weight-raised queues get a request immediately (or at least soon) when
they need one. Along the same line, if there are weight-raised queues,
then this patch halves the service rate of async (write) requests for
non-weight-raised queues.

I/O schedulers typically allow NCQ-capable drives to prefetch I/O
requests, as NCQ boosts the throughput exactly by prefetching and
internally reordering requests.
Unfortunately, as discussed in detail and shown experimentally in [1],
this may cause fairness and latency guarantees to be violated. The
main problem is that the internal scheduler of an NCQ-capable drive
may postpone the service of some unlucky (prefetched) requests as long
as it deems serving other requests more appropriate to boost the
throughput.
This patch addresses this issue by not disabling device idling for
weight-raised queues, even if the device supports NCQ. This allows BFQ
to start serving a new queue, and therefore allows the drive to
prefetch new requests, only after the idling timeout expires. At that
time, all the outstanding requests of the expired queue have been most
certainly served.

To guarantee a low latency also to the I/O requests issued by soft
real-time applications, this patch introduces a further heuristic,
which weight-raises (in the sense explained in the previous patch)
also the queues associated to applications deemed as soft real-time.
To be deemed as soft real-time, an application must meet two
requirements. First, the application must not require an average
bandwidth higher than the approximate bandwidth required to playback
or record a compressed high-definition video. Second, the request
pattern of the application must be isochronous, i.e., after issuing a
request or a batch of requests, the application must stop issuing new
requests until all its pending requests have been completed. After
that, the application may issue a new batch, and so on.
As for the second requirement, it is critical to require also that,
after all the pending requests of the application have been completed,
an adequate minimum amount of time elapses before the application
starts issuing new requests. This prevents also greedy (i.e.,
I/O-bound) applications from being incorrectly deemed, occasionally,
as soft real-time. In fact, if *any amount of time* is fine, then even
a greedy application may, paradoxically, meet both the above
requirements, if: (1) the application performs random I/O and/or the
device is slow, and (2) the CPU load is high. The reason is the
following. First, if condition (1) is true, then, during the service
of the application, the throughput may be low enough to let the
application meet the bandwidth requirement. Second, if condition (2)
is true as well, then the application may occasionally behave in an
apparently isochronous way, because it may simply stop issuing
requests while the CPUs are busy serving other processes.
To address this issue, the heuristic leverages the simple fact that
greedy applications issue *all* their requests as quickly as they can,
whereas soft real-time applications spend some time processing data
after each batch of requests is completed. In particular, the
heuristic works as follows. First, according to the above isochrony
requirement, the heuristic checks whether an application may be soft
real-time, thereby giving to the application the opportunity to be
deemed as such, only when both the following two conditions happen to
hold: 1) the queue associated with the application has expired and is
empty, 2) there is no outstanding request of the application.
Suppose that both conditions hold at time, say, t_c and that the
application issues its next request at time, say, t_i. At time t_c the
heuristic computes the next time instant, called soft_rt_next_start in
the code, such that, only if t_i >= soft_rt_next_start, then both the
next conditions will hold when the application issues its next
request: 1) the application will meet the above bandwidth requirement,
2) a given minimum time interval, say Delta, will have elapsed from
time t_c (so as to filter out greedy application).
The current value of Delta is a little bit higher than the value that
we have found, experimentally, to be adequate on a real,
general-purpose machine. In particular we had to increase Delta to
make the filter quite precise also in slower, embedded systems, and in
KVM/QEMU virtual machines (details in the comments on the code).
If the application actually issues its next request after time
soft_rt_next_start, then its associated queue will be weight-raised
for a relatively short time interval. If, during this time interval,
the application proves again to meet the bandwidth and isochrony
requirements, then the end of the weight-raising period for the queue
is moved forward, and so on. Note that an application whose associated
queue never happens to be empty when it expires will never have the
opportunity to be deemed as soft real-time.

This patch introduces a simple heuristic to load applications quickly,
and to perform the I/O requested by interactive applications just as
quickly. To this purpose, both a newly-created queue and a queue
associated with an interactive application (we explain in a moment how
BFQ decides whether the associated application is interactive),
receive the following two special treatments:
1) The weight of the queue is raised.
2) The queue unconditionally enjoys device idling when it empties; in
fact, if the requests of a queue are sync, then performing device
idling for the queue is a necessary condition to guarantee that the
queue receives a fraction of the throughput proportional to its weight
(see [1] for details).
For brevity, we call just weight-raising the combination of these
two preferential treatments. For a newly-created queue,
weight-raising starts immediately and lasts for a time interval that:
1) depends on the device speed and type (rotational or
non-rotational), and 2) is equal to the time needed to load (start up)
a large-size application on that device, with cold caches and with no
additional workload.
Finally, as for guaranteeing a fast execution to interactive,
I/O-related tasks (such as opening a file), consider that any
interactive application blocks and waits for user input both after
starting up and after executing some task. After a while, the user may
trigger new operations, after which the application stops again, and
so on. Accordingly, the low-latency heuristic weight-raises again a
queue in case it becomes backlogged after being idle for a
sufficiently long (configurable) time. The weight-raising then lasts
for the same time as for a just-created queue.
According to our experiments, the combination of this low-latency
heuristic and of the improvements described in the previous patch
allows BFQ to guarantee a high application responsiveness.

This patch deals with two sources of unfairness, which can also cause
high latencies and throughput loss. The first source is related to
write requests. Write requests tend to starve read requests, basically
because, on one side, writes are slower than reads, whereas, on the
other side, storage devices confuse schedulers by deceptively
signaling the completion of write requests immediately after receiving
them. This patch addresses this issue by just throttling writes. In
particular, after a write request is dispatched for a queue, the
budget of the queue is decremented by the number of sectors to write,
multiplied by an (over)charge coefficient. The value of the
coefficient is the result of our tuning with different devices.
The second source of unfairness has to do with slowness detection:
when the in-service queue is expired, BFQ also controls whether the
queue has been "too slow", i.e., has consumed its last-assigned budget
at such a low rate that it would have been impossible to consume all
of this budget within the maximum time slice T_max (Subsec. 3.5 in
[1]). In this case, the queue is always (over)charged the whole
budget, to reduce its utilization of the device. Both this overcharge
and the slowness-detection criterion may cause unfairness.
First, always charging a full budget to a slow queue is too coarse. It
is much more accurate, and this patch lets BFQ do so, to charge an
amount of service 'equivalent' to the amount of time during which the
queue has been in service. As explained in more detail in the comments
on the code, this enables BFQ to provide time fairness among slow
queues.
Secondly, because of ZBR, a queue may be deemed as slow when its
associated process is performing I/O on the slowest zones of a
disk. However, unless the process is truly too slow, not reducing the
disk utilization of the queue is more profitable in terms of disk
throughput than the opposite. A similar problem is caused by logical
block mapping on non-rotational devices. For this reason, this patch
lets a queue be charged time, and not budget, only if the queue has
consumed less than 2/3 of its assigned budget. As an additional,
important benefit, this tolerance allows BFQ to preserve enough
elasticity to still perform bandwidth, and not time, distribution with
little unlucky or quasi-sequential processes.
Finally, for the same reasons as above, this patch makes slowness
detection itself much less harsh: a queue is deemed slow only if it
has consumed its budget at less than half of the peak rate.

Unless the maximum budget B_max that BFQ can assign to a queue is set
explicitly by the user, BFQ automatically updates B_max. In
particular, BFQ dynamically sets B_max to the number of sectors that
can be read, at the current estimated peak rate, during the maximum
time, T_max, allowed before a budget timeout occurs. In formulas, if
we denote as R_est the estimated peak rate, then B_max = T_max ∗
R_est. Hence, the higher R_est is with respect to the actual device
peak rate, the higher the probability that processes incur budget
timeouts unjustly is. Besides, a too high value of B_max unnecessarily
increases the deviation from an ideal, smooth service.
Unfortunately, it is not trivial to estimate the peak rate correctly:
because of the presence of sw and hw queues between the scheduler and
the device components that finally serve I/O requests, it is hard to
say exactly when a given dispatched request is served inside the
device, and for how long. As a consequence, it is hard to know
precisely at what rate a given set of requests is actually served by
the device.
On the opposite end, the dispatch time of any request is trivially
available, and, from this piece of information, the "dispatch rate"
of requests can be immediately computed. So, the idea in the next
function is to use what is known, namely request dispatch times
(plus, when useful, request completion times), to estimate what is
unknown, namely in-device request service rate.
The main issue is that, because of the above facts, the rate at
which a certain set of requests is dispatched over a certain time
interval can vary greatly with respect to the rate at which the
same requests are then served. But, since the size of any
intermediate queue is limited, and the service scheme is lossless
(no request is silently dropped), the following obvious convergence
property holds: the number of requests dispatched MUST become
closer and closer to the number of requests completed as the
observation interval grows. This is the key property used in
this new version of the peak-rate estimator.

The feedback-loop algorithm used by BFQ to compute queue (process)
budgets is basically a set of three update rules, one for each of the
main reasons why a queue may be expired. If many processes suddenly
switch from sporadic I/O to greedy and sequential I/O, then these
rules are quite slow to assign large budgets to these processes, and
hence to achieve a high throughput. On the opposite side, BFQ assigns
the maximum possible budget B_max to a just-created queue. This allows
a high throughput to be achieved immediately if the associated process
is I/O-bound and performs sequential I/O from the beginning. But it
also increases the worst-case latency experienced by the first
requests issued by the process, because the larger the budget of a
queue waiting for service is, the later the queue will be served by
B-WF2Q+ (Subsec 3.3 in [1]). This is detrimental for an interactive or
soft real-time application.
To tackle these throughput and latency problems, on one hand this
patch changes the initial budget value to B_max/2. On the other hand,
it re-tunes the three rules, adopting a more aggressive,
multiplicative increase/linear decrease scheme. This scheme trades
latency for throughput more than before, and tends to assign large
budgets quickly to processes that are or become I/O-bound. For two of
the expiration reasons, the new version of the rules also contains
some more little improvements, briefly described below.
*No more backlog.* In this case, the budget was larger than the number
of sectors actually read/written by the process before it stopped
doing I/O. Hence, to reduce latency for the possible future I/O
requests of the process, the old rule simply set the next budget to
the number of sectors actually consumed by the process. However, if
there are still outstanding requests, then the process may have not
yet issued its next request just because it is still waiting for the
completion of some of the still outstanding ones. If this sub-case
holds true, then the new rule, instead of decreasing the budget,
doubles it, proactively, in the hope that: 1) a larger budget will fit
the actual needs of the process, and 2) the process is sequential and
hence a higher throughput will be achieved by serving the process
longer after granting it access to the device.
*Budget timeout*. The original rule set the new budget to the maximum
value B_max, to maximize throughput and let all processes experiencing
budget timeouts receive the same share of the device time. In our
experiments we verified that this sudden jump to B_max did not provide
sensible benefits; rather it increased the latency of processes
performing sporadic and short I/O. The new rule only doubles the
budget.

Add complete support for full hierarchical scheduling, with a cgroups
interface. Full hierarchical scheduling is implemented through the
'entity' abstraction: both bfq_queues, i.e., the internal BFQ queues
associated with processes, and groups are represented in general by
entities. Given the bfq_queues associated with the processes belonging
to a given group, the entities representing these queues are sons of
the entity representing the group. At higher levels, if a group, say
G, contains other groups, then the entity representing G is the parent
entity of the entities representing the groups in G.
Hierarchical scheduling is performed as follows: if the timestamps of
a leaf entity (i.e., of a bfq_queue) change, and such a change lets
the entity become the next-to-serve entity for its parent entity, then
the timestamps of the parent entity are recomputed as a function of
the budget of its new next-to-serve leaf entity. If the parent entity
belongs, in its turn, to a group, and its new timestamps let it become
the next-to-serve for its parent entity, then the timestamps of the
latter parent entity are recomputed as well, and so on. When a new
bfq_queue must be set in service, the reverse path is followed: the
next-to-serve highest-level entity is chosen, then its next-to-serve
child entity, and so on, until the next-to-serve leaf entity is
reached, and the bfq_queue that this entity represents is set in
service.
Writeback is accounted for on a per-group basis, i.e., for each group,
the async I/O requests of the processes of the group are enqueued in a
distinct bfq_queue, and the entity associated with this queue is a
child of the entity associated with the group.
Weights can be assigned explicitly to groups and processes through the
cgroups interface, differently from what happens, for single
processes, if the cgroups interface is not used (as explained in the
description of the previous patch). In particular, since each node has
a full scheduler, each group can be assigned its own weight.

We tag as v0 the version of BFQ containing only BFQ's engine plus
hierarchical support. BFQ's engine is introduced by this commit, while
hierarchical support is added by next commit. We use the v0 tag to
distinguish this minimal version of BFQ from the versions containing
also the features and the improvements added by next commits. BFQ-v0
coincides with the version of BFQ submitted a few years ago [1], apart
from the introduction of preemption, described below.
BFQ is a proportional-share I/O scheduler, whose general structure,
plus a lot of code, are borrowed from CFQ.
- Each process doing I/O on a device is associated with a weight and a
(bfq_)queue.
- BFQ grants exclusive access to the device, for a while, to one queue
(process) at a time, and implements this service model by
associating every queue with a budget, measured in number of
sectors.
- After a queue is granted access to the device, the budget of the
queue is decremented, on each request dispatch, by the size of the
request.
- The in-service queue is expired, i.e., its service is suspended,
only if one of the following events occurs: 1) the queue finishes
its budget, 2) the queue empties, 3) a "budget timeout" fires.
- The budget timeout prevents processes doing random I/O from
holding the device for too long and dramatically reducing
throughput.
- Actually, as in CFQ, a queue associated with a process issuing
sync requests may not be expired immediately when it empties. In
contrast, BFQ may idle the device for a short time interval,
giving the process the chance to go on being served if it issues
a new request in time. Device idling typically boosts the
throughput on rotational devices, if processes do synchronous
and sequential I/O. In addition, under BFQ, device idling is
also instrumental in guaranteeing the desired throughput
fraction to processes issuing sync requests (see [2] for
details).
- With respect to idling for service guarantees, if several
processes are competing for the device at the same time, but
all processes (and groups, after the following commit) have
the same weight, then BFQ guarantees the expected throughput
distribution without ever idling the device. Throughput is
thus as high as possible in this common scenario.
- Queues are scheduled according to a variant of WF2Q+, named
B-WF2Q+, and implemented using an augmented rb-tree to preserve an
O(log N) overall complexity. See [2] for more details. B-WF2Q+ is
also ready for hierarchical scheduling. However, for a cleaner
logical breakdown, the code that enables and completes
hierarchical support is provided in the next commit, which focuses
exactly on this feature.
- B-WF2Q+ guarantees a tight deviation with respect to an ideal,
perfectly fair, and smooth service. In particular, B-WF2Q+
guarantees that each queue receives a fraction of the device
throughput proportional to its weight, even if the throughput
fluctuates, and regardless of: the device parameters, the current
workload and the budgets assigned to the queue.
- The last, budget-independence, property (although probably
counterintuitive in the first place) is definitely beneficial, for
the following reasons:
- First, with any proportional-share scheduler, the maximum
deviation with respect to an ideal service is proportional to
the maximum budget (slice) assigned to queues. As a consequence,
BFQ can keep this deviation tight not only because of the
accurate service of B-WF2Q+, but also because BFQ *does not*
need to assign a larger budget to a queue to let the queue
receive a higher fraction of the device throughput.
- Second, BFQ is free to choose, for every process (queue), the
budget that best fits the needs of the process, or best
leverages the I/O pattern of the process. In particular, BFQ
updates queue budgets with a simple feedback-loop algorithm that
allows a high throughput to be achieved, while still providing
tight latency guarantees to time-sensitive applications. When
the in-service queue expires, this algorithm computes the next
budget of the queue so as to:
- Let large budgets be eventually assigned to the queues
associated with I/O-bound applications performing sequential
I/O: in fact, the longer these applications are served once
got access to the device, the higher the throughput is.
- Let small budgets be eventually assigned to the queues
associated with time-sensitive applications (which typically
perform sporadic and short I/O), because, the smaller the
budget assigned to a queue waiting for service is, the sooner
B-WF2Q+ will serve that queue (Subsec 3.3 in [2]).
- Weights can be assigned to processes only indirectly, through I/O
priorities, and according to the relation:
weight = 10 * (IOPRIO_BE_NR - ioprio).
The next patch provides, instead, a cgroups interface through which
weights can be assigned explicitly.
- If several processes are competing for the device at the same time,
but all processes and groups have the same weight, then BFQ
guarantees the expected throughput distribution without ever idling
the device. It uses preemption instead. Throughput is then much
higher in this common scenario.
- ioprio classes are served in strict priority order, i.e.,
lower-priority queues are not served as long as there are
higher-priority queues. Among queues in the same class, the
bandwidth is distributed in proportion to the weight of each
queue. A very thin extra bandwidth is however guaranteed to the Idle
class, to prevent it from starving.
- If the strict_guarantees parameter is set (default: unset), then BFQ
- always performs idling when the in-service queue becomes empty;
- forces the device to serve one I/O request at a time, by
dispatching a new request only if there is no outstanding
request.
In the presence of differentiated weights or I/O-request sizes,
both the above conditions are needed to guarantee that every
queue receives its allotted share of the bandwidth (see
Documentation/block/bfq-iosched.txt for more details). Setting
strict_guarantees may evidently affect throughput.

The Kyber I/O scheduler is an I/O scheduler for fast devices designed to
scale to multiple queues. Users configure only two knobs, the target
read and synchronous write latencies, and the scheduler tunes itself to
achieve that latency goal.
The implementation is based on "tokens", built on top of the scalable
bitmap library. Tokens serve as a mechanism for limiting requests. There
are two tiers of tokens: queueing tokens and dispatch tokens.
A queueing token is required to allocate a request. In fact, these
tokens are actually the blk-mq internal scheduler tags, but the
scheduler manages the allocation directly in order to implement its
policy.
Dispatch tokens are device-wide and split up into two scheduling
domains: reads vs. writes. Each hardware queue dispatches batches
round-robin between the scheduling domains as long as tokens are
available for that domain.
These tokens can be used as the mechanism to enable various policies.
The policy Kyber uses is inspired by active queue management techniques
for network routing, similar to blk-wbt. The scheduler monitors
latencies and scales the number of dispatch tokens accordingly. Queueing
tokens are used to prevent starvation of synchronous requests by
asynchronous requests.
Various extensions are possible, including better heuristics and ionice
support. The new scheduler isn't set as the default yet.

Currently, this callback is called right after put_request() and has no
distinguishable purpose. Instead, let's call it before put_request() as
soon as I/O has completed on the request, before we account it in
blk-stat. With this, Kyber can enable stats when it sees a latency
outlier and make sure the outlier gets accounted.

When CFQ calls wbt_disable_default(), it will call
blk_stat_remove_callback() to stop gathering IO statistics for the
purposes of writeback throttling. Later, when request_queue is
unregistered, wbt_exit() will call blk_stat_remove_callback() again
which will try to delete callback from the list again and possibly cause
list corruption.
Fix the problem by making wbt_disable_default() called wbt_exit() which
is properly guarded against being called multiple times.

Currently only dm and md/raid5 bios trigger
trace_block_bio_complete(). Now that we have bio_chain() and
bio_inc_remaining(), it is not possible, in general, for a driver to
know when the bio is really complete. Only bio_endio() knows that.
So move the trace_block_bio_complete() call to bio_endio().
Now trace_block_bio_complete() pairs with trace_block_bio_queue().
Any bio for which a 'queue' event is traced, will subsequently
generate a 'complete' event.
There are a few cases where completion tracing is not wanted.
1/ If blk_update_request() has already generated a completion
trace event at the 'request' level, there is no point generating
one at the bio level too. In this case the bi_sector and bi_size
will have changed, so the bio level event would be wrong
2/ If the bio hasn't actually been queued yet, but is being aborted
early, then a trace event could be confusing. Some filesystems
call bio_endio() but do not want tracing.
3/ The bio_integrity code interposes itself by replacing bi_end_io,
then restoring it and calling bio_endio() again. This would produce
two identical trace events if left like that.
To handle these, we introduce a flag BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION and only
produce the trace event when this is set.
We address point 1 above by clearing the flag in blk_update_request().
We address point 2 above by only setting the flag when
generic_make_request() is called.
We address point 3 above by clearing the flag after generating a
completion event.
When bio_split() is used on a bio, particularly in blk_queue_split(),
there is an extra complication. A new bio is split off the front, and
may be handle directly without going through generic_make_request().
The old bio, which has been advanced, is passed to
generic_make_request(), so it will trigger a trace event a second
time.
Probably the best result when a split happens is to see a single
'queue' event for the whole bio, then multiple 'complete' events - one
for each component. To achieve this was can:
- copy the BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION flag to the new bio in bio_split()
- avoid generating a 'queue' event if BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION is already set.
This way, the split-off bio won't create a queue event, the original
won't either even if it re-submitted to generic_make_request(),
but both will produce completion events, each for their own range.
So if generic_make_request() is called (which generates a QUEUED
event), then bi_endio() will create a single COMPLETE event for each
range that the bio is split into, unless the driver has explicitly
requested it not to.

While dispatching requests, if we fail to get a driver tag, we mark the
hardware queue as waiting for a tag and put the requests on a
hctx->dispatch list to be run later when a driver tag is freed. However,
blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() may dispatch requests from multiple hardware
queues if using a single-queue scheduler with a multiqueue device. If
blk_mq_get_driver_tag() fails, it doesn't update the hardware queue we
are processing. This means we end up using the hardware queue of the
previous request, which may or may not be the same as that of the
current request. If it isn't, the wrong hardware queue will end up
waiting for a tag, and the requests will be on the wrong dispatch list,
leading to a hang.
The fix is twofold:
1. Make sure we save which hardware queue we were trying to get a
request for in blk_mq_get_driver_tag() regardless of whether it
succeeds or not.
2. Make blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() take a request_queue instead of a
blk_mq_hw_queue to make it clear that it must handle multiple
hardware queues, since I've already messed this up on a couple of
occasions.
This didn't appear in testing with nvme and mq-deadline because nvme has
more driver tags than the default number of scheduler tags. However,
with the blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues() fix, it showed up with nbd.

Writeback throttling does not play well with CFQ since that also tries
to throttle async writes. As a result async writeback can get starved in
presence of readers. As an example take a benchmark simulating
postgreSQL database running over a standard rotating SATA drive. There
are 16 processes doing random reads from a huge file (2*machine memory),
1 process doing random writes to the huge file and calling fsync once
per 50000 writes and 1 process doing sequential 8k writes to a
relatively small file wrapping around at the end of the file and calling
fsync every 5 writes. Under this load read latency easily exceeds the
target latency of 75 ms (just because there are so many reads happening
against a relatively slow disk) and thus writeback is throttled to a
point where only 1 write request is allowed at a time. Blktrace data
then looks like:

So we can see a Q event for a write request, then IO is blocked by
writeback throttling and G and I events for the request happen only once
other writeback IO is completed. Thus CFQ always sees only one write
request. When it sees it, it queues the async queue behind all the read
queues and the async queue gets scheduled after about one second. When
it is scheduled, that one request gets dispatched and async queue is
expired as it has no more requests to submit. Overall we submit about
one write request per second.
Although this scheduling is beneficial for read latency, writes are
heavily starved and this causes large delays all over the system (due to
processes blocking on page lock, transaction starts, etc.). When
writeback throttling is disabled, write throughput is about one fifth of
a read throughput which roughly matches readers/writers ratio and
overall the system stalls are much shorter.
Mixing writeback throttling logic with CFQ throttling logic is always a
recipe for surprises as CFQ assumes it sees the big part of the picture
which is not necessarily true when writeback throttling is blocking
requests. So disable writeback throttling logic by default when CFQ is
used as an IO scheduler.

In 4.10 I introduced a patch that associates the ioc priority with
each request in the block layer. This work was done in the single queue
block layer code. This patch unifies ioc priority to request mapping across
the single/multi queue block layers.
I have tested this patch with the null block device driver with the following
parameters.
null_blk queue_mode=2 irqmode=0 use_per_node_hctx=1 nr_devices=1
I have not seen a performance regression with this patch and I would appreciate
any feedback or additional testing.
I have also verified that io priorities are passed to the device when using
the SQ and MQ path to a SATA HDD that supports io priorities.

One hard problem adding .low limit is to detect idle cgroup. If one
cgroup doesn't dispatch enough IO against its low limit, we must have a
mechanism to determine if other cgroups dispatch more IO. We added the
think time detection mechanism before, but it doesn't work for all
workloads. Here we add a latency based approach.
We already have mechanism to calculate latency threshold for each IO
size. For every IO dispatched from a cgorup, we compare its latency
against its threshold and record the info. If most IO latency is below
threshold (in the code I use 75%), the cgroup could be treated idle and
other cgroups can dispatch more IO.
Currently this latency target check is only for SSD as we can't
calcualte the latency target for hard disk. And this is only for cgroup
leaf node so far.

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.

Here we introduce per-cgroup latency target. The target determines how a
cgroup can afford latency increasement. We will use the target latency
to calculate a threshold and use it to schedule IO for cgroups. If a
cgroup's bandwidth is below its low limit but its average latency is
below the threshold, other cgroups can safely dispatch more IO even
their bandwidth is higher than their low limits. On the other hand, if
the first cgroup's latency is higher than the threshold, other cgroups
are throttled to their low limits. So the target latency determines how
we efficiently utilize free disk resource without sacifice of worload's
IO latency.
For example, assume 4k IO average latency is 50us when disk isn't
congested. A cgroup sets the target latency to 30us. Then the cgroup can
accept 50+30=80us IO latency. If the cgroupt's average IO latency is
90us and its bandwidth is below low limit, other cgroups are throttled
to their low limit. If the cgroup's average IO latency is 60us, other
cgroups are allowed to dispatch more IO. When other cgroups dispatch
more IO, the first cgroup's IO latency will increase. If it increases to
81us, we then throttle other cgroups.
User will configure the interface in this way:
echo "8:16 rbps=2097152 wbps=max latency=100 idle=200" > io.low
latency is in microsecond unit

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.

When cgroups all reach low limit, cgroups can dispatch more IO. This
could make some cgroups dispatch more IO but others not, and even some
cgroups could dispatch less IO than their low limit. For example, cg1
low limit 10MB/s, cg2 limit 80MB/s, assume disk maximum bandwidth is
120M/s for the workload. Their bps could something like this:
cg1/cg2 bps: T1: 10/80 -> T2: 60/60 -> T3: 10/80
At T1, all cgroups reach low limit, so they can dispatch more IO later.
Then cg1 dispatch more IO and cg2 has no room to dispatch enough IO. At
T2, cg2 only dispatches 60M/s. Since We detect cg2 dispatches less IO
than its low limit 80M/s, we downgrade the queue from LIMIT_MAX to
LIMIT_LOW, then all cgroups are throttled to their low limit (T3). cg2
will have bandwidth below its low limit at most time.
The big problem here is we don't know the maximum bandwidth of the
workload, so we can't make smart decision to avoid the situation. This
patch makes cgroup bandwidth change smooth. After disk upgrades from
LIMIT_LOW to LIMIT_MAX, we don't allow cgroups use all bandwidth upto
their max limit immediately. Their bandwidth limit will be increased
gradually to avoid above situation. So above example will became
something like:
cg1/cg2 bps: 10/80 -> 15/105 -> 20/100 -> 25/95 -> 30/90 -> 35/85 -> 40/80
-> 45/75 -> 22/98
In this way cgroups bandwidth will be above their limit in majority
time, this still doesn't fully utilize disk bandwidth, but that's
something we pay for sharing.
Scale up is linear. The limit scales up 1/2 .low limit every
throtl_slice after upgrade. The scale up will stop if the adjusted limit
hits .max limit. Scale down is exponential. We cut the scale value half
if a cgroup doesn't hit its .low limit. If the scale becomes 0, we then
fully downgrade the queue to LIMIT_LOW state.
Note this doesn't completely avoid cgroup running under its low limit.
The best way to guarantee cgroup doesn't run under its limit is to set
max limit. For example, if we set cg1 max limit to 40, cg2 will never
run under its low limit.

cgroup could be assigned a limit, but doesn't dispatch enough IO, eg the
cgroup is idle. When this happens, the cgroup doesn't hit its limit, so
we can't move the state machine to higher level and all cgroups will be
throttled to their lower limit, so we waste bandwidth. Detecting idle
cgroup is hard. This patch handles a simple case, a cgroup doesn't
dispatch any IO. We ignore such cgroup's limit, so other cgroups can use
the bandwidth.
Please note this will be replaced with a more sophisticated algorithm

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.

cgroup could be throttled to a limit but when all cgroups cross high
limit, queue enters a higher state and so the group should be throttled
to a higher limit. It's possible the cgroup is sleeping because of
throttle and other cgroups don't dispatch IO any more. In this case,
nobody can trigger current downgrade/upgrade logic. To fix this issue,
we could either set up a timer to wakeup the cgroup if other cgroups are
idle or make sure this cgroup doesn't sleep too long. Setting up a timer
means we must change the timer very frequently. This patch chooses the
latter. Making cgroup sleep time not too big wouldn't change cgroup
bps/iops, but could make it wakeup more frequently, which isn't a big
issue because throtl_slice * 8 is already quite big.

When queue is in LIMIT_LOW state and all cgroups with low limit cross
the bps/iops limitation, we will upgrade queue's state to
LIMIT_MAX. To determine if a cgroup exceeds its limitation, we check if
the cgroup has pending request. Since cgroup is throttled according to
the limit, pending request means the cgroup reaches the limit.
If a cgroup has limit set for both read and write, we consider the
combination of them for upgrade. The reason is read IO and write IO can
interfere with each other. If we do the upgrade based in one direction
IO, the other direction IO could be severly harmed.
For a cgroup hierarchy, there are two cases. Children has lower low
limit than parent. Parent's low limit is meaningless. If children's
bps/iops cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state. The other case is
children has higher low limit than parent. Children's low limit is
meaningless. As long as parent's bps/iops (which is a sum of childrens
bps/iops) cross low limit, we can upgrade queue state.

.max limit. But the internal logic always assumes .low limit is lower
than .max limit. So we add extra bps/iops_conf fields in throtl_grp for
userspace configuration. Old bps/iops fields in throtl_grp will be the
actual limit we use for throttling.

As you can see RAX value is already poisoned showing that gendisk we got
is already freed. The problem is that get_gendisk() looks up device
number in ext_devt_idr and then does get_disk() which does kobject_get()
on the disks kobject. However the disk gets removed from ext_devt_idr
only in disk_release() (through blk_free_devt()) at which moment it has
already 0 refcount and is already on its way to be freed. Indeed we've
got a warning from kobject_get() about 0 refcount shortly before the
oops.
We fix the problem by using kobject_get_unless_zero() in get_disk() so
that get_disk() cannot get reference on a disk that is already being
freed.

If a driver allocates a queue for stacked usage, then it does
not currently get stats allocated. This causes the later init
of, eg, writeback throttling to blow up. Move the init to the
queue allocation instead.
Additionally, allow a NULL callback unregistration. This avoids
having the caller check for that, fixing another oops on
removal of a block device that doesn't have poll stats allocated.
Fixes: 34dbad5d26 ("blk-stat: convert to callback-based statistics reporting")
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the
statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree
users:
1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of
statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every
window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows,
wbt doesn't see every I/O.
2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending
on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also
unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid
polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the
previous full window.
This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users
register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of
the statistics from the window during which the callback was active.
Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both
currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further
subdivide based on request size.
The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu
stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the
I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified
considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the
statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics.
wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem
mentioned above is fixed.
For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous
window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling
heuristic to use.
Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue,
this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those,
we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

changed current->bio_list so that it did not contain *all* of the
queued bios, but only those submitted by the currently running
make_request_fn.
There are two places which walk the list and requeue selected bios,
and others that check if the list is empty. These are no longer
correct.
So redefine current->bio_list to point to an array of two lists, which
contain all queued bios, and adjust various code to test or walk both
lists.

Fixes: 79bd99596b ("blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request()")
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
To avoid recursion on the kernel stack when stacked block devices
are in use, generic_make_request() will, when called recursively,
queue new requests for later handling. They will be handled when the
make_request_fn for the current bio completes.
If any bios are submitted by a make_request_fn, these will ultimately
be handled seqeuntially. If the handling of one of those generates
further requests, they will be added to the end of the queue.
This strict first-in-first-out behaviour can lead to deadlocks in
various ways, normally because a request might need to wait for a
previous request to the same device to complete. This can happen when
they share a mempool, and can happen due to interdependencies
particular to the device. Both md and dm have examples where this happens.
These deadlocks can be erradicated by more selective ordering of bios.
Specifically by handling them in depth-first order. That is: when the
handling of one bio generates one or more further bios, they are
handled immediately after the parent, before any siblings of the
parent. That way, when generic_make_request() calls make_request_fn
for some particular device, we can be certain that all previously
submited requests for that device have been completely handled and are
not waiting for anything in the queue of requests maintained in
generic_make_request().
An easy way to achieve this would be to use a last-in-first-out stack
instead of a queue. However this will change the order of consecutive
bios submitted by a make_request_fn, which could have unexpected consequences.
Instead we take a slightly more complex approach.
A fresh queue is created for each call to a make_request_fn. After it completes,
any bios for a different device are placed on the front of the main queue, followed
by any bios for the same device, followed by all bios that were already on
the queue before the make_request_fn was called.
This provides the depth-first approach without reordering bios on the same level.
This, by itself, it not enough to remove all deadlocks. It just makes
it possible for drivers to take the extra step required themselves.
To avoid deadlocks, drivers must never risk waiting for a request
after submitting one to generic_make_request. This includes never
allocing from a mempool twice in the one call to a make_request_fn.
A common pattern in drivers is to call bio_split() in a loop, handling
the first part and then looping around to possibly split the next part.
Instead, a driver that finds it needs to split a bio should queue
(with generic_make_request) the second part, handle the first part,
and then return. The new code in generic_make_request will ensure the
requests to underlying bios are processed first, then the second bio
that was split off. If it splits again, the same process happens. In
each case one bio will be completely handled before the next one is attempted.
With this is place, it should be possible to disable the
punt_bios_to_recover() recovery thread for many block devices, and
eventually it may be possible to remove it completely.

Commit 6cd18e711d "block: destroy bdi before blockdev is
unregistered." moved bdi unregistration (at that time through
bdi_destroy()) from blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() because
it needs to happen before blk_unregister_region() call in del_gendisk()
for MD. SCSI though will free up the device number from sd_remove()
called through a maze of callbacks from device_del() in
__scsi_remove_device() before blk_cleanup_queue() and thus similar races
as described in 6cd18e711d can happen for SCSI as well as reported by
Omar [1].
Moving bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk() works for MD and fixes the
problem for SCSI since del_gendisk() gets called from sd_remove() before
freeing the device number.
This also makes device_add_disk() (calling bdi_register_owner()) more
symmetric with del_gendisk().

"virtio, vhost: optimizations, fixes
Looks like a quiet cycle for vhost/virtio, just a couple of minor
tweaks. Most notable is automatic interrupt affinity for blk and scsi.
Hopefully other devices are not far behind"
* tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost:
virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack
vhost: introduce O(1) vq metadata cache
virtio_scsi: use virtio IRQ affinity
virtio_blk: use virtio IRQ affinity
blk-mq: provide a default queue mapping for virtio device
virtio: provide a method to get the IRQ affinity mask for a virtqueue
virtio: allow drivers to request IRQ affinity when creating VQs
virtio_pci: simplify MSI-X setup
virtio_pci: don't duplicate the msix_enable flag in struct pci_dev
virtio_pci: use shared interrupts for virtqueues
virtio_pci: remove struct virtio_pci_vq_info
vhost: try avoiding avail index access when getting descriptor
virtio_mmio: expose header to userspace
When drivers are called with a request in blk-mq, blk-mq flags the
state such that the driver knows if this is the last request in
this call chain or not. The driver can then use that information
to defer kicking off IO until bd->last is true. However, with blk-mq
and scheduling, we need to allocate a driver tag for a request before
it can be issued. If we fail to allocate such a tag, we could end up
in the situation where the last request issued did not have
bd->last == true set. This can then cause a driver hang.
This fixes a hang with virtio-blk, which uses bd->last as a hint
on whether to kick the queue or not.

For legacy scheduling, we always call ioc_exit_icq() with both the
ioc and queue lock held. This poses a problem for blk-mq with
scheduling, since the queue lock isn't what we use in the scheduler.
And since we don't need the queue lock held for ioc exit there,
don't grab it and leave any extra locking up to the blk-mq scheduler.

In blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests(), we call blk_mq_sched_mark_restart()
after we dispatch requests left over on our hardware queue dispatch
list. This is so we'll go back and dispatch requests from the scheduler.
In this case, it's only necessary to restart the hardware queue that we
are running; there's no reason to run other hardware queues just because
we are using shared tags.
So, split out blk_mq_sched_mark_restart() into two operations, one for
just the hardware queue and one for the whole request queue. The core
code only needs the hctx variant, but I/O schedulers will want to use
both.
This also requires adjusting blk_mq_sched_restart_queues() to always
check the queue restart flag, not just when using shared tags.

Commit 50e1dab86a ("blk-mq-sched: fix starvation for multiple hardware
queues and shared tags") fixed one starvation issue for shared tags.
However, we can still get into a situation where we fail to allocate a
tag because all tags are allocated but we don't have any pending
requests on any hardware queue.
One solution for this would be to restart all queues that share a tag
map, but that really sucks. Ideally, we could just block and wait for a
tag, but that isn't always possible from blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list().
However, we can still use the struct sbitmap_queue wait queues with a
custom callback instead of blocking. This has a few benefits:
1. It avoids iterating over all hardware queues when completing an I/O,
which the current restart code has to do.
2. It benefits from the existing rolling wakeup code.
3. It avoids punting to another thread just to have it block.

When a new disk shows up, sysfs queue directory is created before elevator
is registered. This allows a user to attempt a scheduler switch even though
the initial registration hasn't completed yet.
In one scenario, blk_register_queue() calls elv_register_queue() and
right before cfq_registered_queue() is called, another process executes
elevator_switch() and replaces q->elevator with deadline scheduler. When
cfq_registered_queue() executes it interprets e->elevator_data as struct
cfq_data even though it is actually struct deadline_data.
Grab q->sysfs_lock in blk_register_queue() to synchronize with sysfs

If we end up doing a request-to-request merge when we have completed
a bio-to-request merge, we free the request from deep down in that
path. For blk-mq-sched, the merge path has to hold the appropriate
lock, but we don't need it for freeing the request. And in fact
holding the lock is problematic, since we are now calling the
mq sched put_rq_private() hook with the lock held. Other call paths
do not hold this lock.
Fix this inconsistency by ensuring that the caller frees a merged
request. Then we can do it outside of the lock, making it both more
efficient and fixing the blk-mq-sched problem of invoking parts of
the scheduler with an unknown lock state.

Currently, block device inodes stay around after corresponding gendisk
hash died until memory reclaim finds them and frees them. Since we will
make block device inode pin the bdi, we want to free the block device
inode as soon as the device goes away so that bdi does not stay around
unnecessarily. Furthermore we need to avoid issues when new device with
the same major,minor pair gets created since reusing the bdi structure
would be rather difficult in this case.
Unhashing block device inode on gendisk destruction nicely deals with
these problems. Once last block device inode reference is dropped (which
may be directly in del_gendisk()), the inode gets evicted. Furthermore if
the major,minor pair gets reallocated, we are guaranteed to get new
block device inode even if old block device inode is not yet evicted and
thus we avoid issues with possible reuse of bdi.

Add support for growing the tags associated with a hardware queue, for
the scheduler tags. Currently we only support resizing within the

The run handler we register for the delayed work requires that the

This fixes a stall with SCSI, where it calls blk_mq_delay_queue()

Partitions that are not aligned to the blocksize of a device may cause
invalid I/O requests because the blocklayer cares only about alignment
within the partition when building requests on partitions.
device
|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|
partition offset 512byte
|-512-|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|
When reading/writing one 4k block of the partition this maps to
reading/writing with an offset of 512 byte of the device leading to
unaligned requests for the device which in turn may cause unexpected
behavior of the device driver.
For DASD devices we have to translate the block number into a cylinder,
head, record format. The unaligned requests lead to wrong calculation
and therefore to misdirected I/O. In a "good" case this leads to I/O
errors because the underlying hardware detects the wrong addressing.
In a worst case scenario this might destroy data on the device.
To prevent partitions that are not aligned to the physical blocksize
of a device check for the alignment in the blkpg_ioctl.

The WRITE_SAME commands are not present in the blk_default_cmd_filter
write_ok list, and thus are failed with -EPERM when the SG_IO ioctl()
is executed without CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability (e.g., unprivileged users).
[ sg_io() -> blk_fill_sghdr_rq() > blk_verify_command() -> -EPERM ]
The problem can be reproduced with the sg_write_same command
# sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda
#
# capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda'
Write same: pass through os error: Operation not permitted
#
For comparison, the WRITE_VERIFY command does not observe this problem,
since it is in that list:
# capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
'sg_write_verify --num 1 --ilen 512 --lba 0 /dev/sda'
#
So, this patch adds the WRITE_SAME commands to the list, in order
for the SG_IO ioctl to finish successfully:
# capsh --drop=cap_sys_rawio -- -c \
'sg_write_same --num 1 --xferlen 512 /dev/sda'
#
That case happens to be exercised by QEMU KVM guests with 'scsi-block' devices
(qemu "-device scsi-block" [1], libvirt "<disk type='block' device='lun'>" [2]),
which employs the SG_IO ioctl() and runs as an unprivileged user (libvirt-qemu).
In that scenario, when a filesystem (e.g., ext4) performs its zero-out calls,
which are translated to write-same calls in the guest kernel, and then into
SG_IO ioctls to the host kernel, SCSI I/O errors may be observed in the guest:

Pull block IO fixes from Jens Axboe:
"A few fixes that I collected as post-merge.
I was going to wait a bit with sending this out, but the O_DIRECT fix
should really go in sooner rather than later"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
blk-mq: Fix failed allocation path when mapping queues
blk-mq: Avoid memory reclaim when remapping queues
block_dev: don't update file access position for sync direct IO
nvme/pci: Log PCI_STATUS when the controller dies
block_dev: don't test bdev->bd_contains when it is not stable
In blk_mq_map_swqueue, there is a memory optimization that frees the
tags of a queue that has gone unmapped. Later, if that hctx is remapped
after another topology change, the tags need to be reallocated.
If this allocation fails, a simple WARN_ON triggers, but the block layer
ends up with an active hctx without any corresponding set of tags.
Then, any income IO to that hctx can trigger an Oops.
I can reproduce it consistently by running IO, flipping CPUs on and off
and eventually injecting a memory allocation failure in that path.
In the fix below, if the system experiences a failed allocation of any
hctx's tags, we remap all the ctxs of that queue to the hctx_0, which
should always keep it's tags. There is a minor performance hit, since
our mapping just got worse after the error path, but this is
the simplest solution to handle this error path. The performance hit
will disappear after another successful remap.
I considered dropping the memory optimization all together, but it
seemed a bad trade-off to handle this very specific error case.
This should apply cleanly on top of Jens' for-next branch.
The Oops is the one below:

While stressing memory and IO at the same time we changed SMT settings,
we were able to consistently trigger deadlocks in the mm system, which
froze the entire machine.
I think that under memory stress conditions, the large allocations
performed by blk_mq_init_rq_map may trigger a reclaim, which stalls
waiting on the block layer remmaping completion, thus deadlocking the
system. The trace below was collected after the machine stalled,
waiting for the hotplug event completion.
The simplest fix for this is to make allocations in this path

- Low level driver specific changes.
Christoph Hellwig pipes in about the hidden nvme warning:
"I wish that was the case. We've pretty much agreed that we'll want to
implement it as a virtual PCIe root bridge, similar to Intels other
'innovation' VMD that we work around that way.
But Intel management has apparently decided that they don't want to
spend more cycles on this now that Lenovo has an optional BIOS that
doesn't force this broken mode anymore, and no one outside of Intel
has enough information to implement something like this.
So for now I guess this warning is it, until Intel reconsideres and
spends resources on fixing up the damage their Chipset people caused"

"This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous

reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.
The major parts of this pull request is:
- Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
private implementation instead of using the pig that is
fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.
- Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
writeback queue throttling code.
- Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.
- Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.
- Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
and Shaun.
- Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.
- Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From

We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw
128K requests at the device level. Turns out it is read-ahead capping
the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting. This
doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they
should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the
underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command.
This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages. This is the soft max IO
size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here.
Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size,
and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the
device side. The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the
application asks for a huge read. With this patch, the kernel behaves
like the application expects.

Instead of allocating a single unused biovec for discard requests, send
them down without any payload. Instead we allow the driver to add a
"special" payload using a biovec embedded into struct request (unioned
over other fields never used while in the driver), and overloading
the number of segments for this case.
This has a couple of advantages:
- we don't have to allocate the bio_vec
- the amount of special casing for discard requests in the block
layer is significantly reduced
- using this same scheme for other request types is trivial,
which will be important for implementing the new WRITE_ZEROES
op on devices where it actually requires a payload (e.g. SCSI)
- we can get rid of playing games with the request length, as
we'll never touch it and completions will work just fine
- it will allow us to support ranged discard operations in the
future by merging non-contiguous discard bios into a single
request
- last but not least it removes a lot of code
This patch is the common base for my WIP series for ranges discards and to
remove discard_zeroes_data in favor of always using REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES,
so it would be good to get it in quickly.

Since commit e73c23ff73 ("block: add async variant of
blkdev_issue_zeroout") messages like the following show up:
EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2368848 at
logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 95
EXT4-fs (dm-1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost
Due to the following fallthrough introduced with
commit 2d253440b5 ("block: Define zoned block device operations"),
generic_make_request_checks() would accept a REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME bio only
if the block device supports "write same" *and* is a zoned one:
switch (bio_op(bio)) {
[...]
case REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME:
if (!bdev_write_same(bio->bi_bdev))
goto not_supported;
case REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT:
case REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET:
if (!bdev_is_zoned(bio->bi_bdev))
goto not_supported;
break;
[...]
}
Thus, although the bio setup as done by __blkdev_issue_write_same() from
commit e73c23ff73 ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout")
would succeed, its actual submission would not, resulting in the
EOPNOTSUPP == 95.
Fix this by removing the fallthrough which, due to the lack of an explicit
comment, seems to be unintended anyway.

This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of
LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use
either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes.
The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command,
but in the future, this should also help with improving the way
zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in
sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one
write zeroes operation by the device.

Both blkdev_report_zones and blkdev_reset_zones can operate on a partition of
a zoned block device. However, the first and last zones reported for a
partition make sense only if the partition start sector and size are aligned
on the device zone size. The same applies for zone reset. Resetting the first
or the last zone of a partition straddling zones may impact neighboring
partitions. Finally, if a partition start sector is not at the beginning of a
sequential zone, it will be impossible to write to the first sectors of the
partition on a host-managed device.
Avoid all these problems and incoherencies by ignoring partitions that are not
zone aligned.
Note: Even with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED disabled, bdev_is_zoned() will report the
correct disk zoning type (host-aware, host-managed or none) but
bdev_zone_size() will always return 0 for zoned block devices (i.e. the zone
size is unknown). So test this as a way to ensure that a zoned block device is
being handled as such. As a result, for a host-aware devices, unaligned zone
partitions will be accepted with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED disabled. That is, the
disk will be treated as a regular block device (as it should). If zoned block
device support is enabled, only aligned partitions will be accepted.
