2012-03-06blkcg: unify blkg's for blkcg policiesTejun Heo
Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination. This is unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management of blkgs. This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all policies. blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper. This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering. As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot down during elvswitch and bypass. This patch adds blkg_root_update() to update root blkg in place on policy change. This is hacky and racy but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs. -v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc() comment wasn't updated according to the function change. Fixed. Both pointed out by Vivek. -v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for all policies. This freed root pd during elvswitch before the last queue finished exiting and led to oops. Directly invoke update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from cfq_exit_queue(). This also is closer to what will be done with proper in-place blkg update. Reported by Vivek.

2012-03-06blkcg: add blkcg_{init|drain|exit}_queue()Tejun Heo
Currently block core calls directly into blk-throttle for init, drain and exit. This patch adds blkcg_{init|drain|exit}_queue() which wraps the blk-throttle functions. This is to give more control and visiblity to blkcg core layer for proper layering. Further patches will add logic common to blkcg policies to the functions. While at it, collapse blk_throtl_release() into blk_throtl_exit(). There's no reason to keep them separate.

2011-12-13block, cfq: move io_cq exit/release to blk-ioc.cTejun Heo
With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to blk-ioc too. The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc. The elevator operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator - in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's. Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and automatically performed on elevator switch and q release. Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq needs to be freed when the io_cq is released. New field io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose. As both the new field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the q/ioc_node fields aren't, they are put into unions.

2011-12-13block, cfq: move cfqd->cic_index to q->idTejun Heo
cfq allocates per-queue id using ida and uses it to index cic radix tree from io_context. Move it to q->id and allocate on queue init and free on queue release. This simplifies cfq a bit and will allow for further improvements of io context life-cycle management. This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

2011-10-19block: fix request_queue lifetime handling by making blk_queue_cleanup() ↵Tejun Heo
properly shutdown request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no new one will. This is fundamentally broken. The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer) doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a reference. With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with in-flight IOs. sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Stopping disk ata1.01: disabled general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: Pid: 648, comm: test_rawio Not tainted 3.1.0-rc3-work+ #56 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8137d651>] [<ffffffff8137d651>] elv_rqhash_find+0x61/0x100 ...

Similar problem exists for blk-throtl. On queue cleanup, blk-throtl is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not. Depending on timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state. The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between shutdown and release. Shutdown drains all currently pending requests, marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now unnecessary part of the queue. Even after shutdown is complete, reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue although they will be immmediately failed. The rest of teardown happens on release. This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup() behave as proper shutdown. * QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and queue_lock. * Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed. This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die after the check. * blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is now called during cleanup. * blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock, drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is released.

2011-09-28block: Free queue resources at blk_release_queue()Hannes Reinecke
A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(), Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

Some systems benefit from completions always being steered to the strict requester cpu rather than the looser "per-socket" steering that blk_cpu_to_group() attempts by default. This is because the first CPU in the group mask ends up being completely overloaded with work, while the others (including the original submitter) has power left to spare. Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control file. This is identical to the scheme used for the nomerges file, where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on. echo 2 > /sys/block/<bdev>/queue/rq_affinity Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> Tested-by: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-03-03block: Move blk_throtl_exit() call to blk_cleanup_queue()Vivek Goyal
Move blk_throtl_exit() in blk_cleanup_queue() as blk_throtl_exit() is written in such a way that it needs queue lock. In blk_release_queue() there is no gurantee that ->queue_lock is still around. Initially blk_throtl_exit() was in blk_cleanup_queue() but Ingo reported one problem. https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/23/86 And a quick fix moved blk_throtl_exit() to blk_release_queue(). commit 7ad58c028652753814054f4e3ac58f925e7343f4 Author: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com> Date: Sat Oct 23 20:40:26 2010 +0200 block: fix use-after-free bug in blk throttle code This patch reverts above change and does not try to shutdown the throtl work in blk_sync_queue(). By avoiding call to throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() from blk_sync_queue(), we should also avoid the problem reported by Ingo. blk_sync_queue() seems to be used only by md driver and it seems to be using it to make sure q->unplug_fn is not called as md registers its own unplug functions and it is about to free up the data structures used by unplug_fn(). Block throttle does not call back into unplug_fn() or into md. So there is no need to cancel blk throttle work. In fact I think cancelling block throttle work is bad because it might happen that some bios are throttled and scheduled to be dispatched later with the help of pending work and if work is cancelled, these bios might never be dispatched. Block layer also uses blk_sync_queue() during blk_cleanup_queue() and blk_release_queue() time. That should be safe as we are also calling blk_throtl_exit() which should make sure all the throttling related data structures are cleaned up.

2010-12-17block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits insteadMartin K. Petersen
When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a metadevice. There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver. The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing. We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking. Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-12-03block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroedMartin K. Petersen
The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether discarded blocks are properly zeroed. Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether zeroes are returned after a discard operation.

Stacked devices do not. For now, just error out with -EINVAL. Later we could make the limit apply on stacked devices too, for throttling reasons. This fixes 5a54cd13353bb3b88887604e2c980aa01e314309 and should go into 2.6.31 stable as well. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-09-01block: Allow changing max_sectors_kb above the default 512Nikanth Karthikesan
The patch "block: Use accessor functions for queue limits" (ae03bf639a5027d27270123f5f6e3ee6a412781d) changed queue_max_sectors_store() to use blk_queue_max_sectors() instead of directly assigning the value. But blk_queue_max_sectors() differs a bit 1. It sets both max_sectors_kb, and max_hw_sectors_kb 2. Never allows one to change max_sectors_kb above BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. If one specifies a value greater then max_hw_sectors is set to that value but max_sectors is set to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS I am not sure whether blk_queue_max_sectors() should be changed, as it seems to be that way for a long time. And there may be callers dependent on that behaviour. This patch simply reverts to the older way of directly assigning the value to max_sectors as it was before.

2009-07-17block: sysfs fix mismatched queue_var_{store,show} in 64bit kernelXiaotian Feng
In blk-sysfs.c, queue_var_store uses unsigned long to store data, but queue_var_show uses unsigned int to show data. This causes, # echo 70000000000 > /sys/block/<dev>/queue/read_ahead_kb # cat /sys/block/<dev>/queue/read_ahead_kb => get wrong value Fix it by using unsigned long. While at it, convert queue_rq_affinity_show() such that it uses bool variable instead of explicit != 0 testing.

2009-05-22block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitionsMartin K. Petersen
To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we need to ensure proper alignment. This patch adds support for exposing I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked. logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address. physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write without incurring a read-modify-write penalty. The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by the device. In many cases this is the same as the physical block size. However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size). The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by the device. This is usually the stripe width for arrays. The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment. Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets so filesystems start on proper boundaries. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-05-22block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfsMartin K. Petersen
Currently stacking devices do not have a queue directory in sysfs. However, many of the I/O characteristics like sector size, maximum request size, etc. are queue properties. This patch enables the queue directory for MD/DM devices. The elevator code has been modified to deal with queues that do not have an I/O scheduler. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-05-22block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.
