When blk_throtl_bio() wants to queue a bio to a tg (throtl_grp), it
avoids invoking tg_update_disptime() and
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() if the tg already has bios queued in
that direction. As a new bio is appeneded after the existing ones, it
can't change the tg's next dispatch time or the parent's dispatch
schedule.
This optimization is currently open coded in blk_throtl_bio().
Whether the target biolist was occupied was recorded in a local
variable and later used to skip disptime update. This patch moves
generalizes it so that throtl_add_bio_tg() sets a new flag
THROTL_TG_WAS_EMPTY if the biolist was empty before the new bio was
added. tg_update_disptime() clears the flag automatically.
blk_throtl_bio() is updated to simply test the flag before updating
disptime.
This patch doesn't make any functional differences now but will enable
using the same optimization for recursive dispatch.

throtl_service_queues will eventually form a tree which is anchored at
throtl_data->service_queue and queue bios will climb the tree to the
top service_queue to be executed.
This patch makes the dispatch paths in blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn()
and blk_throtl_drain() to dispatch bios to
throtl_data->service_queue.bio_lists[] instead of the on-stack
bio_lists. This will keep the final dispatch to the top level
service_queue share the same mechanism as dispatches through the rest
of the hierarchy.
As bio's should be issued in a sleepable context,
blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() transfers all dispatched bio's from the
service_queue bio_lists[] into an onstack one before dropping
queue_lock and issuing the bio's.

throtl_service_queues will eventually form a tree which is anchored at
throtl_data->service_queue and queue bios will climb the tree to the
top service_queue to be executed.
This patch moves bio_lists[] and nr_queued[] from throtl_grp to its
service_queue to prepare for that. As currently only the
throtl_data->service_queue is in use, this patch just ends up moving
throtl_grp->bio_lists[] and ->nr_queued[] to

Currently, there's single service_queue per queue -
throtl_data->service_queue. All active throtl_grp's are queued on the
queue and dispatched according to their limits. To support hierarchy,
this will be expanded such that active throtl_grp's form a tree
anchored at throtl_data->service_queue and chained through each
intermediate throtl_grp's service_queue.
This patch adds throtl_grp->service_queue to prepare for hierarchy
support. The initialization function - throtl_service_queue_init() -
is added and replaces the macro initializer. The newly added
tg->service_queue isn't used yet. Following patches will do.

throtl_service_queue will be the building block of hierarchy support
and will form a tree. This patch updates its usages as arguments to
reduce confusion.
* When a service queue is used as the parent role - the host of the
rbtree - use @parent_sq instead of @sq.
* For functions taking both @tg and @parent_sq, reorder them so that
the order is (@tg, @parent_sq) not the other way around. This makes
the code follow the usual convention of specifying the primary
target of the operation as the first argument.

throtl_nr_queued() is used in several places to avoid performing
certain operations when the throtl_data is empty. This usually is
useless as those paths usually aren't traveled if there's no bio
queued.
* throtl_schedule_delayed_work() skips scheduling dispatch work item
if @td doesn't have any bios queued; however, the only case it can
be called when @td is empty is from tg_set_conf() which isn't
something we should be optimizing for.
* throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() takes a quick exit if @td is empty;
however, right after that it triggers BUG if the service tree is
empty. The two conditions are equivalent and it can just test
@st->count for the quick exit.
* blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() skips dispatch if @td is empty. This
work function isn't usually invoked when @td is empty. The only
possibility is from tg_set_conf() and when it happens the normal
dispatching path can handle empty @td fine. No need to add special
skip path.
This patch removes the above three unnecessary optimizations, which
leave throtl_log() call in blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() the only user
of throtl_nr_queued(). Remove throtl_nr_queued() and open code it in
throtl_log(). I don't think we need td->nr_queued[] at all. Maybe we

When bps or iops configuration changes, blk-throttle records the new
configuration and sets a flag indicating that the config has changed.
The flag is checked in the bio dispatch path and applied. This
deferred config application was necessary due to limitations in blkcg

This patch removes the deferred config application mechanism and
applies new configurations directly from tg_set_conf(), which is

Currently, when the last reference of a blkcg_gq is put, all then
release operations sans the actual freeing happen directly in
blkg_put(). As blkg_put() may be called under queue_lock, all
pd_exit_fn()s may be too. This makes it impossible for pd_exit_fn()s
to use del_timer_sync() on timers which grab the queue_lock which is
an irq-safe lock due to the deadlock possibility described in the
comment on top of del_timer_sync().
This can be easily avoided by perfoming the release operations in the
RCU callback instead of directly from blkg_put(). This patch moves
the blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU callback.
As this leaves __blkg_release() with only call_rcu() invocation,
blkg_rcu_free() is renamed to __blkg_release_rcu(), exported and
call_rcu() invocation is now done directly from blkg_put() instead of
going through __blkg_release() which is removed.

Currently, when creating a new blkcg_gq, each policy's pd_init_fn() is
invoked in blkg_alloc() before the parent is linked. This makes it
difficult for policies to perform initializations which are dependent
on the parent.
This patch moves pd_init_fn() invocations to blkg_create() after the
parent blkg is linked where the new blkg is fully initialized. As
this means that blkg_free() can't assume that pd's are initialized,
pd_exit_fn() invocations are moved to __blkg_release(). This
guarantees that pd_exit_fn() is also invoked with fully initialized
blkgs with valid parent pointers.

In blkg_create(), after lookup of parent fails, the control jumps to

doesn't use @blkg for the return value. It returns ERR_PTR(ret).
Make lookup fail path set @ret instead of @blkg.
Note that the parent lookup is guaranteed to succeed at that point and
the condition check is purely for sanity and triggers WARN when fails.

Block layer uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency
of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.
On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete.
cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().
- device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.
- perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.
- A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated
by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately,
cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag
is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag
won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
implicitly along with unified hierarchy.
The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy
support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
introducing a full separate set of control knobs.
This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely
to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
it's supportable in the long term.
Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able
to drop it in a decade.

that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

This is the pull request for the earlier patchset[1] with the same

workqueue tree) but the merge strategy is a bit involved due to the
dependencies.
* Because the conversion needs features from wq/for-3.10,
block/for-3.10/core is based on rc3, and wq/for-3.10 has conflicts
with rc3, I pulled mainline (rc5) into wq/for-3.10 to prevent those
workqueue conflicts from flaring up in block tree.
* Resolving the issue that Jan and Dave raised about debugging
requires arch-wide changes. The patchset is being worked on[2] but
it'll have to go through -mm after these changes show up in -next,
and not included in this pull request.
The three commits are located in the following git branch.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git writeback-workqueue
Pulling it into block/for-3.10/core produces a conflict in
drivers/md/raid5.c between the following two commits.
e3620a3ad5 ("MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available")
2f6db2a707 ("raid5: use bio_reset()")
The conflict is trivial - one removes an "if ()" conditional while the
other removes "rbi->bi_next = NULL" right above it. We just need to
remove both. The merged branch is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git block-test-merge
so that you can use it for verification. The test merge commit has
proper merge description.
While these changes are a bit of pain to route, they make code simpler
and even have, while minute, measureable performance gain[3] even on a
workload which isn't particularly favorable to showing the benefits of
this conversion.

Converts it to use bio_advance(), simplifying it quite a bit in the
process.
Note that req_bio_endio() now always calls bio_advance() - which means
it always loops over the biovec, not just on partial completions. Don't
expect it to affect performance, but worth noting.
Tested it by forcing partial updates, and dumping before and after on
various bio/bvec fields when doing a partial update.

When a request is added:
If device is suspended or is suspending and the request is not a
PM request, resume the device.
When the last request finishes:
Call pm_runtime_mark_last_busy().
When pick a request:
If device is resuming/suspending, then only PM request is allowed
to go.

- Initialization function for drivers to call.
int blk_pre_runtime_suspend(struct request_queue *q)
- If any requests are in the queue, mark last busy and return -EBUSY.
Otherwise set q->rpm_status to RPM_SUSPENDING and return 0.

Any partitions added by user space to the loop device were being
left in place after detaching the loop device. This was because
the detach path issued a BLKRRPART to clean up partitions if
LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN was set, meaning that the partitions were auto
scanned on attach. Replace this BLKRRPART with code that
unconditionally cleans up partitions on detach instead.

rename() will change dentry->d_name. The result of this race can
be worse than seeing partially rewritten name, but we might access
a stale pointer because rename() will re-allocate memory to hold
a longer name.
As accessing dentry->name must be protected by dentry->d_lock or
parent inode's i_mutex, while on the other hand cgroup-path() can
be called with some irq-safe spinlocks held, we can't generate
cgroup path using dentry->d_name.
Alternatively we make a copy of dentry->d_name and save it in
cgrp->name when a cgroup is created, and update cgrp->name at
rename().
v5: use flexible array instead of zero-size array.
v4: - allocate root_cgroup_name and all root_cgroup->name points to it.
- add cgroup_name() wrapper.
v3: use kfree_rcu() instead of synchronize_rcu() in user-visible path.
v2: make cgrp->name RCU safe.

- Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
- Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
- Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
- A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
- Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so
it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition,
especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage,
MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure.
This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct
parsed_partitions to try to address the issue:
- make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can
fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved
- vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is
still a bit big for kmalloc
- given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only
allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always

UEFI 2.3.1D will include a change to the spec language mandating that a
GPT header must be greater than *or equal to* the size of the defined
structure. While verifying that this would work on Linux, I discovered
that we're not actually checking the minimum bound at all.
The result of this is that when we verify the checksum, it's possible that
on a malformed header (with header_size of 0), we won't actually verify
any data.

While stress-running very-small container scenarios with the Kernel Memory
Controller, I've run into a lockdep-detected lock imbalance in
cfq-iosched.c.
I'll apologize beforehand for not posting a backlog: I didn't anticipate
it would be so hard to reproduce, so I didn't save my serial output and
went directly on debugging. Turns out that it did not happen again in
more than 20 runs, making it a quite rare pattern.
But here is my analysis:
When we are in very low-memory situations, we will arrive at
cfq_find_alloc_queue and may not find a queue, having to resort to the oom
queue, in an rcu-locked condition:
if (!cfqq || cfqq == &cfqd->oom_cfqq)
[ ... ]
Next, we will release the rcu lock, and try to allocate a queue, retrying
if we succeed:
rcu_read_unlock();
spin_unlock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock);
new_cfqq = kmem_cache_alloc_node(cfq_pool,
gfp_mask | __GFP_ZERO,
cfqd->queue->node);
spin_lock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock);
if (new_cfqq)
goto retry;
We are unlocked at this point, but it should be fine, since we will
reacquire the rcu_read_lock when we retry.
Except of course, that we may not retry: the allocation may very well fail
and we'll keep on going through the flow:
The next branch is:
if (cfqq) {
[ ... ]
} else
cfqq = &cfqd->oom_cfqq;
And right before exiting, we'll issue rcu_read_unlock().
Being already unlocked, this is the likely source of our imbalance. Since
cfqq is either already NULL or made NULL in the first statement of the
outter branch, the only viable alternative here seems to be to return the
oom queue right away in case of allocation failure.
Please review the following patch and apply if you agree with my analysis.

This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without
needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling
schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot
page contents instead of waiting.
For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking
(which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and
setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock
dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're
going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the
complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well
centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key
modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it
provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag
that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page
contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that
this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the
flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait
only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining
disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to
provide stable page writes on those filesystems.
It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway)
this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the
original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not
fixing it sooner.
Complaints were registered by several people about the long write
latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset.
Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory
as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot
wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting
page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to
enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be
set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on
ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else.
Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that
have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would
be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible
that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support
to enable zero-copy writeout.
Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems.
Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure
latencies on ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat
----------------------------------------
WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817
ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391
Flush 15514 29.828 287.283
Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273
ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112
Flush 14982 30.540 298.634
Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms
As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms
on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies
increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives
the flusher more work to do.
On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum
latencies:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078

Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking
behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk
requiring stable page writes.
This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and
xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same
results as -rc3.
[1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and
page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use
ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely
slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped
by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the
author of the stable page series! :)
This patch:
Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must
be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive
wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages.

Using wait_for_completion() for waiting for a IO request to be executed
results in wrong iowait time accounting. For example, a system having
the only task doing write() and fdatasync() on a block device can be
reported being idle instead of iowaiting as it should because
blkdev_issue_flush() calls wait_for_completion() which in turn calls
schedule() that does not increment the iowait proc counter and thus does
not turn on iowait time accounting.
The patch makes block layer use wait_for_completion_io() instead of
wait_for_completion() where appropriate to account iowait time
correctly.

Block layer allows selecting an elevator which is built as a module to
be selected as system default via kernel param "elevator=". This is
achieved by automatically invoking request_module() whenever a new
block device is initialized and the elevator is not available.
This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module
init. Block device probing running off an async job invokes
request_module(). While the module is being loaded, it performs
async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which
is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to
deadlock.
Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is
already nasty in itself. It seems best to avoid these situations from
the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init
path.
The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is
loaded early during boot if available. This patch removes on-demand
loading of the default elevator from elevator init path. As the
module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior
difference should be minimal.
For more details, please refer to the following thread.

This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default

initrd is made available and right before control is passed to
userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in

default modules are loaded as soon as possible.
This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator

This patch makes all bio completions via bio_endio() generate
block_bio_complete TP.
* Explicit trace_block_bio_complete() invocation removed from dm and
the trace point is unexported.
* @rq dropped from trace_block_bio_complete(). bios may fly around
w/o queue associated. Verifying and accessing the assocaited queue
belongs to TP probes.
* blktrace now gets both request and bio completions. Make it ignore
bio completions if request completion path is happening.

To support hierarchical stats, it's necessary to remember stats from

its stats to the parent's dead-stats.
The transfer happens form ->pd_offline_fn() and it is possible that
there are some residual IOs completing afterwards. Currently, we lose
these stats. Given that cgroup removal isn't a very high frequency
operation and the amount of residual IOs on offline are likely to be
nil or small, this shouldn't be a big deal and the complexity needed
to handle residual IOs - another callback and rather elaborate
synchronization to reach and lock the matching q - doesn't seem

With the previous two patches, all cfqg scheduling decisions are based
on vfraction and ready for hierarchy support. The only thing which
keeps the behavior flat is cfqg_flat_parent() which makes vfraction
calculation consider all non-root cfqgs children of the root cfqg.
Replace it with cfqg_parent() which returns the real parent. This
enables full blkcg hierarchy support for cfq-iosched. For example,
consider the following hierarchy.
root
/ \
A:500 B:250
/ \
AA:500 AB:1000
For simplicity, let's say all the leaf nodes have active tasks and are
on service tree. For each leaf node, vfraction would be
AA: (500 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.2222
AB: (1000 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.4444
B: (250 / 750) =~ 0.3333
and vdisktime will be distributed accordingly. For more detail,
please refer to Documentation/block/cfq-iosched.txt.

cfq_group_slice() calculates slice by taking a fraction of
cfq_target_latency according to the ratio of cfqg->weight against
service_tree->total_weight. This currently works only because all
cfqgs are treated to be at the same level.
To prepare for proper hierarchy support, convert cfq_group_slice() to
base the calculation on cfqg->vfraction. As cfqg->vfraction is always
a fraction of 1 and represents the fraction allocated to the cfqg with
hierarchy considered, the slice can be simply calculated by
multiplying cfqg->vfraction to cfq_target_latency (with fixed point
shift factored in).
As vfraction calculation currently treats all non-root cfqgs as
children of the root cfqg, this patch doesn't introduce noticeable
behavior difference.

Currently, cfqg charges are scaled directly according to cfqg->weight.
Regardless of the number of active cfqgs or the amount of active
weights, a given weight value always scales charge the same way. This
works fine as long as all cfqgs are treated equally regardless of
their positions in the hierarchy, which is what cfq currently
implements. It can't work in hierarchical settings because the
interpretation of a given weight value depends on where the weight is
located in the hierarchy.
This patch reimplements cfqg charge scaling so that it can be used to
support hierarchy properly. The scheme is fairly simple and
light-weight.
* When a cfqg is added to the service tree, v(disktime)weight is
calculated. It walks up the tree to root calculating the fraction
it has in the hierarchy. At each level, the fraction can be
calculated as
cfqg->weight / parent->level_weight
By compounding these, the global fraction of vdisktime the cfqg has
claim to - vfraction - can be determined.
* When the cfqg needs to be charged, the charge is scaled inversely
proportionally to the vfraction.
The new scaling scheme uses the same CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT for fixed point
representation as before; however, the smallest scaling factor is now
1 (ie. 1 << CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT). This is different from before where 1
was for CFQ_WEIGHT_DEFAULT and higher weight would result in smaller
scaling factor.
While this shifts the global scale of vdisktime a bit, it doesn't
change the relative relationships among cfqgs and the scheduling
result isn't different.
cfq_group_notify_queue_add uses fixed CFQ_IDLE_DELAY when appending
new cfqg to the service tree. The specific value of CFQ_IDLE_DELAY
didn't have any relevance to vdisktime before and is unlikely to cause
any visible behavior difference now especially as the scale shift
isn't that large.
As the new scheme now makes proper distinction between cfqg->weight
and ->leaf_weight, reverse the weight aliasing for root cfqgs. For
root, both weights are now mapped to ->leaf_weight instead of the
other way around.
Because we're still using cfqg_flat_parent(), this patch shouldn't
change the scheduling behavior in any noticeable way.
v2: Beefed up comments on vfraction as requested by Vivek.

To prepare for blkcg hierarchy support, add cfqg->nr_active and
->children_weight. cfqg->nr_active counts the number of active cfqgs
at the cfqg's level and ->children_weight is sum of weights of those
cfqgs. The level covers itself (cfqg->leaf_weight) and immediate
children.
The two values are updated when a cfqg enters and leaves the group
service tree. Unless the hierarchy is very deep, the added overhead
should be negligible.
Currently, the parent is determined using cfqg_flat_parent() which
makes the root cfqg the parent of all other cfqgs. This is to make
the transition to hierarchy-aware scheduling gradual. Scheduling
logic will be converted to use cfqg->children_weight without actually
changing the behavior. When everything is ready,
blkcg_weight_parent() will be replaced with proper parent function.
This patch doesn't introduce any behavior chagne.

cfq blkcg is about to grow proper hierarchy handling, where a child
blkg's weight would nest inside the parent's. This makes tasks in a
blkg to compete against both tasks in the sibling blkgs and the tasks
of child blkgs.
We're gonna use the existing weight as the group weight which decides
the blkg's weight against its siblings. This patch introduces a new
weight - leaf_weight - which decides the weight of a blkg against the
child blkgs.
It's named leaf_weight because another way to look at it is that each
internal blkg nodes have a hidden child leaf node which contains all
its tasks and leaf_weight is the weight of the leaf node and handled
the same as the weight of the child blkgs.
This patch only adds leaf_weight fields and exposes it to userland.
The new weight isn't actually used anywhere yet. Note that
cfq-iosched currently offcially supports only single level hierarchy
and root blkgs compete with the first level blkgs - ie. root weight is
basically being used as leaf_weight. For root blkgs, the two weights
are kept in sync for backward compatibility.
v2: cfqd->root_group->leaf_weight initialization was missing from
cfq_init_queue() causing divide by zero when

Currently a child blkg (blkcg_gq) can be created even if its parent
doesn't exist. ie. Given a blkg, it's not guaranteed that its
ancestors will exist. This makes it difficult to implement proper
hierarchy support for blkcg policies.
Always create blkgs recursively and make a child blkg hold a reference
to its parent. blkg->parent is added so that finding the parent is
easy. blkcg_parent() is also added in the process.
This change can be visible to userland. e.g. while issuing IO in a
nested cgroup didn't affect the ancestors at all, now it will
initialize all ancestor blkgs and zero stats for the request_queue
will always appear on them. While this is userland visible, this
shouldn't cause any functional difference.

choose_wl_class_and_type() to make it very clear.
cfq_choose_wl() only selects and sets wl_type. It is easy to confuse
it with choose_st(). So rename it to cfq_choose_wl_type() to make
it clear what does it do.
Just renaming. No functionality change.

Some more renaming. Again making the code uniform w.r.t use of
wl_class/class to represent IO class (RT, BE, IDLE) and using
wl_type/type to represent subclass (SYNC, SYNC-IDLE, ASYNC).
At places this patch shortens the string "workload" to "wl".
Renamed "saved_workload" to "saved_wl_type". Renamed
"saved_serving_class" to "saved_wl_class".
For uniformity with "saved_wl_*" variables, renamed "serving_class"
to "serving_wl_class" and renamed "serving_type" to "serving_wl_type".

Currently CFQ has three IO classes, RT, BE and IDLE. At many a places we
are calling workloads belonging to these classes as "prio". This gets
very confusing as one starts to associate it with ioprio.
So this patch just does bunch of renaming so that reading code becomes
easier. All reference to RT, BE and IDLE workload are done using keyword
"class" and all references to subclass, SYNC, SYNC-IDLE, ASYNC are made
using keyword "type".
This makes me feel much better while I am reading the code. There is no
functionality change due to this patch.

Remove a race condition which causes a warning in disk_clear_events. This
is a race between disk_clear_events() and disk_flush_events().
ev->clearing will be altered by disk_flush_events() even though we are
blocking event checking through disk_flush_events(). If this happens
after ev->clearing was cleared for disk_clear_events(), this can cause the
WARN_ON_ONCE() in that function to be triggered.
This change also has disk_clear_events() not go through a workqueue.
Since we have to wait for the work to complete, we should just call the
function directly. Also, since this work cannot be put on a freezable
workqueue, it will have to contend with increased demand, so calling the
function directly avoids this.

In disk_clear_events, do not put work on system_nrt_freezable_wq.
Instead, put it on system_nrt_wq.
There is a race between probing a usb and suspending the device. Since
probing a usb calls disk_clear_events, which puts work on a frozen
workqueue, probing cannot finish after the workqueue is frozen. However,
suspending cannot finish until the usb probe is finished, so we get a
deadlock, causing the system to reboot.
The way to reproduce this bug is to wake up from suspend with a usb
storage device plugged in, or plugging in a usb storage device right
before suspend. The window of time is on the order of time it takes to
probe the usb device. As long as the workqueues are frozen before the
call to add_disk within sd_probe_async finishes, there will be a deadlock
(which calls blkdev_get, sd_open, check_disk_change, then
disk_clear_events). This is not difficult to reproduce after figuring out
the timings.

Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on cgroup side. The big changes are focused on
making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.
- cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
drain refcnt synchronously. The vetoing never worked properly and
caused good deal of contortions in cgroup. memcg was the last
reamining user. Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
path has been simplified significantly. This was done in a
separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
changes on top.
- The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
improve hierarchy support.
- cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
cgroup and handle hierarchy. If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
cgroups are frozen.
- netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
properly.
- Various fixes and cleanups.

The Kconfig currently enables MSDOS partitions by default because they
are assumed to be essential, but it's necessary to enable "advanced
partition selection" in order to get GPT support. IMO GPT partitions
are becoming common enought to deserve the same treatment MSDOS
partitions get.
(Side note: I got bit by a disk that had MSDOS and GPT partition
tables, but for some reason the MSDOS table was different from the
GPT one. I was stupid enought to disable "advanced partition
selection" in my .config, which disabled GPT partitioning and made
my btrfs pool unbootable because it couldn't find the partitions)

Some request_fn implementations, e.g. scsi_request_fn(), unlock
the queue lock internally. This may result in multiple threads
executing request_fn for the same queue simultaneously. Keep
track of the number of active request_fn calls and make sure that
blk_cleanup_queue() waits until all active request_fn invocations
have finished. A block driver may start cleaning up resources
needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished,
so blk_cleanup_queue() must wait for all outstanding request_fn
invocations to finish.

Running a queue must continue after it has been marked dying until
it has been marked dead. So the function blk_run_queue_async() must
not schedule delayed work after blk_cleanup_queue() has marked a queue
dead. Hence add a test for that queue state in blk_run_queue_async()
and make sure that queue_unplugged() invokes that function with the
queue lock held. This avoids that the queue state can change after
it has been tested and before mod_delayed_work() is invoked. Drop
the queue dying test in queue_unplugged() since it is now
superfluous: __blk_run_queue() already tests whether or not the
queue is dead.

A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its
request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn
must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important
when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress.
As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in
parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after
scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but
before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.

QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is used to indicate that queuing new requests must
stop. After this flag has been set queue draining starts. However,
during the queue draining phase it is still safe to invoke the
queue's request_fn, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is a better name for this
flag.

over the kernel source tree:

After we've done __elv_add_request() and __blk_run_queue() in
blk_execute_rq_nowait(), the request might finish and be freed
immediately. Therefore checking if the type is REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME
isn't safe afterwards, because if it isn't, rq might be gone.
Instead, check beforehand and stash the result in a temporary.
This fixes crashes in blk_execute_rq_nowait() I get occasionally when
running with lots of memory debugging options enabled -- I think this
race is usually harmless because the window for rq to be reallocated
is so small.

to as the NT disk signature. When combined with a partition number within
the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's

partition_meta_info allows MSDOS partitions to be referred to on the

This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true
UUIDs. This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually
constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings.
Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
/PARTNROFF option was found to be present. However, this modifies the
input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results. In order to
avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.

request is queued in cfqq->fifo list. Looks it's possible we are moving a
request from one cfqq to another in request merge case. In such case, adjusting
the fifo list order doesn't make sense and is impossible if we don't iterate
the whole fifo list.
My test does hit one case the two cfqq are different, but didn't cause kernel
crash, maybe it's because fifo list isn't used frequently. Anyway, from the
code logic, this is buggy.

The bio(7493144) first and bio(7493120) later.So the subsequent
bios will be divided into two parts.
When flushing plug-list,because elv_attempt_insert_merge only support
backmerge,not supporting frontmerge.
So rq[7493120 + 24] can't merge with rq[7493144 + 104].
From my test,i found those situation can count 25% in our system.
Using this patch, there is no this situation.

Pull cgroup hierarchy update from Tejun Heo:
"Currently, different cgroup subsystems handle nested cgroups
completely differently. There's no consistency among subsystems and
the behaviors often are outright broken.
People at least seem to agree that the broken hierarhcy behaviors need
to be weeded out if any progress is gonna be made on this front and
that the fallouts from deprecating the broken behaviors should be
acceptable especially given that the current behaviors don't make much
sense when nested.
This patch makes cgroup emit warning messages if cgroups for
subsystems with broken hierarchy behavior are nested to prepare for
fixing them in the future. This was put in a separate branch because
more related changes were expected (didn't make it this round) and the
memory cgroup wanted to pull in this and make changes on top."

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.
* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.
* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.
These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.
* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.
All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.
* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.
* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.
There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."
Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new

In some usage scenarios it is desireable to work with disk images or
virtualized DASD devices. One problem that prevents such applications
is the partition detection in ibm.c. Currently it works only for
devices that support the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl, in other words, it only
works for devices that belong to the DASD device driver.
The information gained from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl is only for a small
set of legacy cases abolutely necessary. All current VOL1, LNX1 and
CMS1 type of disk labels can be interpreted correctly without this
information, as long as the generic HDIO_GETGEO ioctl works and
provides a correct disk geometry.
This patch makes the ibm.c partition detection as independent as
possible from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl. Only the following two cases are
still restricted to real DASDs:
- An FBA DASD, or LDL formatted ECKD DASD without any disk label.
- An old style LNX1 label (without large volume support) on a disk
with inconsistent device geometry.

b82d4b197c ("blkcg: make request_queue bypassing on allocation") made
request_queues bypassed on allocation to avoid switching on and off
bypass mode on a queue being initialized. Some drivers allocate and
then destroy a lot of queues without fully initializing them and
incurring bypass latency overhead on each of them could add upto
significant overhead.
Unfortunately, blk_init_allocated_queue() is never used by queues of
bio-based drivers, which means that all bio-based driver queues are in
bypass mode even after initialization and registration complete
successfully.
Due to the limited way request_queues are used by bio drivers, this
problem is hidden pretty well but it shows up when blk-throttle is
used in combination with a bio-based driver. Trying to configure
(echoing to cgroupfs file) blk-throttle for a bio-based driver hangs
indefinitely in blkg_conf_prep() waiting for bypass mode to end.
This patch moves the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() call from
blk_init_allocated_queue() to blk_register_queue() which is called for
any userland-visible queues regardless of its type.
I believe this is correct because I don't think there is any block
driver which needs or wants working elevator and blk-cgroup on a queue
which isn't visible to userland. If there are such users, we need a
different solution.

Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess. cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children. blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup. Others show yet different behaviors.
These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.
Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy. Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.
This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support. The goal of
this patch is two-fold.
* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
doesn't surprise them.
* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.
For now, start with a single warning message. We can whine louder
later on.
v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.
v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
different from root.use_hierarchy=true. Fixed a typo spotted by
Glauber.
v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
->create() can affect the result per Michal. Dropped unnecessary
memcg root handling per Michal.

mod_delayed_work(), canceled - call cancel_delayed_work[_sync]().
* drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: thermal_zone_device_set_polling()
simplified. Note that round_jiffies() calls in this function are
meaningless. round_jiffies() work on absolute jiffies not delta
delay used by delayed_work.
v2: Tomi pointed out that __cancel_delayed_work() users can't be
safely converted to mod_delayed_work(). They could be calling it
from irq context and if that happens while delayed_work_timer_fn()
is running, it could deadlock. __cancel_delayed_work() users are
dropped.

I met a odd prblem:read /proc/partitions may return zero.
I wrote a file test.c:
int main()
{
char buff[4096];
int ret;
int fd;
printf("pid=%d\n",getpid());
while (1) {
fd = open("/proc/partitions", O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
printf("open error %s\n", strerror(errno));
return 0;
}
ret = read(fd, buff, 4096);
if (ret <= 0)
printf("ret=%d, %s, %ld\n", ret,
strerror(errno), lseek(fd,0,SEEK_CUR));
close(fd);
}
exit(0);
}
You can reproduce by:
1:while true;do cat /proc/partitions > /dev/null ;done
2:./test
I reviewed the code and found:
>> static void *show_partition_start(struct seq_file *seqf, loff_t *pos)
>> {
>> static void *p;
>>
>> p = disk_seqf_start(seqf, pos);
>> if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(p) && !*pos)
>> seq_puts(seqf, "major minor #blocks name\n\n");
>> return p;
>> }
test cat /proc/partitions
p = disk_seqf_start()(Not NULL)
p = disk_seqf_start()(NULL because pos)
if (!IS_ERR_OR_NULL(p) && !*pos)
