Linus Torvalds f317ff9eed Merge branch 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
  custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
  changes necessary at this point.

  The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
  per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
  param whose default can be configured via a config option.  This leads
  to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
  bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
  certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
  big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.

  This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
  perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
  them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
  less effective.

  Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
  configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
  automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
  workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
  configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

Hannes Reinecke d1ffc1f866 block/dasd: detailed I/O errors
The DASD driver is using FASTFAIL as an equivalent to the
transport errors in SCSI. And the 'steal lock' function maps
roughly to a reservation error. So we should be returning the
appropriate error codes when completing a request.

Aaron Lu c60855cdb9 blkpm: avoid sleep when holding queue lock
In blk_post_runtime_resume, an autosuspend request will be initiated for
the device. Since we are holding the queue lock, we can't sleep and thus
we should use the async version to initiate an autosuspend, i.e.
pm_request_suspend instead of pm_runtime_suspend, which might sleep.

Viresh Kumar 695588f945 block: queue work on power efficient wq
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.

This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.

Linus Torvalds 0a82a8d132 Revert "block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint"
This reverts commit 3a366e614d.

Wanlong Gao reports that it causes a kernel panic on his machine several
minutes after boot. Reverting it removes the panic.

Jens says:
 "It's not quite clear why that is yet, so I think we should just revert
  the commit for 3.9 final (which I'm assuming is pretty close).

  The wifi is crap at the LSF hotel, so sending this email instead of

Kent Overstreet f79ea41614 block: Refactor blk_update_request()
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.

Darrick J. Wong ffecfd1a72 block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during write
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.

Tejun Heo 3a366e614d block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint
bio completion didn't kick block_bio_complete TP.  Only dm was
explicitly triggering the TP on IO completion.  This makes
block_bio_complete TP useless for tracers which want to know about
bios, and all other bio based drivers skip generating blktrace
completion events.

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.

This makes all bio based drivers generate blktrace completion events
properly and makes the block_bio_complete TP actually useful.

v2: With this change, block_bio_complete TP could be invoked on sg
    commands which have bio's with %NULL bi_bdev.  Update TP
    assignment code to check whether bio->bi_bdev is %NULL before
    dereferencing.

blk_cleanup_queue() waits until all active request_fn invocations

Running a queue must continue after it has been marked dying until

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

From above messages,we can find rq[W 7493144 + 104] and rq[W

Because the bio order is:

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.

Linus Torvalds 033d9959ed Merge branch 'for-3.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
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
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Tejun Heo 60ea8226cb block: fix request_queue->flags initialization
A queue newly allocated with blk_alloc_queue_node() has only
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set.  For request-based drivers,
blk_init_allocated_queue() is called and q->queue_flags is overwritten
with QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT which doesn't include BYPASS even though the
initial bypass is still in effect.

In blk_init_allocated_queue(), or QUEUE_FLAG_DEFAULT to q->queue_flags
instead of overwriting.

Tejun Heo 749fefe677 block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of blk_init_allocated_queue()
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.

The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same
block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a
single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device
writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O.

This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The

drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to
efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc.

Yi Zou 37d7b34f05 block: rate-limit the error message from failing commands
When performing a cable pull test w/ active stress I/O using fio over
a dual port Intel 82599 FCoE CNA, w/ 256LUNs on one port and about 32LUNs
on the other, it is observed that the system becomes not usable due to
scsi-ml being busy printing the error messages for all the failing commands.
I don't believe this problem is specific to FCoE and these commands are
anyway failing due to link being down (DID_NO_CONNECT), just rate-limit
the messages here to solve this issue.

v2->v1: use __ratelimit() as Tomas Henzl mentioned as the proper way for
rate-limit per function. However, in this case, the failed i/o gets to
blk_end_request_err() and then blk_update_request(), which also has to
be rate-limited, as added in the v2 of this patch.

NeilBrown 74018dc306 blk: pass from_schedule to non-request unplug functions.
This will allow md/raid to know why the unplug was called,
and will be able to act according - if !from_schedule it
is safe to perform tasks which could themselves schedule.

Shaohua Li 2a7d5559b3 block: stack unplug
MD raid1 prepares to dispatch request in unplug callback. If make_request in
low level queue also uses unplug callback to dispatch request, the low level
queue's unplug callback will not be called. Recheck the callback list helps
this case.

Tejun Heo a051661ca6 blkcg: implement per-blkg request allocation
Currently, request_queue has one request_list to allocate requests
from regardless of blkcg of the IO being issued.  When the unified
request pool is used up, cfq proportional IO limits become meaningless
- whoever grabs the next request being freed wins the race regardless
of the configured weights.

This can be easily demonstrated by creating a blkio cgroup w/ very low
weight, put a program which can issue a lot of random direct IOs there
and running a sequential IO from a different cgroup.  As soon as the
request pool is used up, the sequential IO bandwidth crashes.

This patch implements per-blkg request_list.  Each blkg has its own
request_list and any IO allocates its request from the matching blkg
making blkcgs completely isolated in terms of request allocation.

* Root blkcg uses the request_list embedded in each request_queue,
  which was renamed to @q->root_rl from @q->rq.  While making blkcg rl
  handling a bit harier, this enables avoiding most overhead for root
  blkcg.

* Queue fullness is properly per request_list but bdi isn't blkcg
  aware yet, so congestion state currently just follows the root
  blkcg.  As writeback isn't aware of blkcg yet, this works okay for
  async congestion but readahead may get the wrong signals.  It's
  better than blkcg completely collapsing with shared request_list but
  needs to be improved with future changes.

* After this change, each block cgroup gets a full request pool making
  resource consumption of each cgroup higher.  This makes allowing
  non-root users to create cgroups less desirable; however, note that
  allowing non-root users to directly manage cgroups is already
  severely broken regardless of this patch - each block cgroup
  consumes kernel memory and skews IO weight (IO weights are not
  hierarchical).

v2: queue-sysfs.txt updated and patch description udpated as suggested
    by Vivek.

v3: blk_get_rl() wasn't checking error return from
    blkg_lookup_create() and may cause oops on lookup failure.  Fix it
    by falling back to root_rl on blkg lookup failures.  This problem
    was spotted by Rakesh Iyer <rni@google.com>.

v4: Updated to accomodate 458f27a982 "block: Avoid missed wakeup in
    request waitqueue".  blk_drain_queue() now wakes up waiters on all
    blkg->rl on the target queue.

Tejun Heo 5b788ce3e2 block: prepare for multiple request_lists
Request allocation is about to be made per-blkg meaning that there'll
be multiple request lists.

* Make queue full state per request_list.  blk_*queue_full() functions
  are renamed to blk_*rl_full() and takes @rl instead of @q.

* Rename blk_init_free_list() to blk_init_rl() and make it take @rl
  instead of @q.  Also add @gfp_mask parameter.

* Add blk_exit_rl() instead of destroying rl directly from
  blk_release_queue().

* Add request_list->q and make request alloc/free functions -
  blk_free_request(), [__]freed_request(), __get_request() - take @rl
  instead of @q.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

Tejun Heo 8a5ecdd428 block: add q->nr_rqs[] and move q->rq.elvpriv to q->nr_rqs_elvpriv
Add q->nr_rqs[] which currently behaves the same as q->rq.count[] and
move q->rq.elvpriv to q->nr_rqs_elvpriv.  blk_drain_queue() is updated
to use q->nr_rqs[] instead of q->rq.count[].

These counters separates queue-wide request statistics from the
request list and allow implementation of per-queue request allocation.

While at it, properly indent fields of struct request_list.

Tejun Heo 7f4b35d155 block: allocate io_context upfront
Block layer very lazy allocation of ioc.  It waits until the moment
ioc is absolutely necessary; unfortunately, that time could be inside
queue lock and __get_request() performs unlock - try alloc - retry
dancing.

Just allocate it up-front on entry to block layer.  We're not saving
the rain forest by deferring it to the last possible moment and
complicating things unnecessarily.

This patch is to prepare for further updates to request allocation
path.

Tejun Heo a06e05e6af block: refactor get_request[_wait]()
Currently, there are two request allocation functions - get_request()
and get_request_wait().  The former tries to allocate a request once
and the latter keeps retrying until it succeeds.  The latter wraps the
former and keeps retrying until allocation succeeds.

The combination of two functions deliver fallible non-wait allocation,
fallible wait allocation and unfailing wait allocation.  However,
given that forward progress is guaranteed, fallible wait allocation
isn't all that useful and in fact nobody uses it.

This patch simplifies the interface as follows.

* get_request() is renamed to __get_request() and is only used by the
  wrapper function.

* get_request_wait() is renamed to get_request().  It now takes
  @gfp_mask and retries iff it contains %__GFP_WAIT.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change and is to prepare
for further updates to request allocation path.
