2011-12-16block, cfq: fix empty queue crash caused by request mergeShaohua Li
All requests of a queue could be merged to other requests of other queue. Such queue will not have request in it, but it's in service tree. This will cause kernel oops. I encounter a BUG_ON() in cfq_dispatch_request() with next patch, but the issue should exist without the patch.

2011-12-13block, cfq: move icq creation and rq->elv.icq association to block coreTejun Heo
Now block layer knows everything necessary to create and associate icq's with requests. Move ioc_create_icq() to blk-ioc.c and update get_request() such that, if elevator_type->icq_size is set, requests are automatically associated with their matching icq's before elv_set_request(). io_context reference is also managed by block core on request alloc/free. * Only ioprio/cgroup changed handling remains from cfq_get_cic(). Collapsed into cfq_set_request(). * This removes queue kicking on icq allocation failure (for now). As icq allocation failure is rare and the only effect of queue kicking achieved was possibily accelerating queue processing, this change shouldn't be noticeable. There is a larger underlying problem. Unlike request allocation, icq allocation is not guaranteed to succeed eventually after retries. The number of icq is unbound and thus mempool can't be the solution either. This effectively adds allocation dependency on memory free path and thus possibility of deadlock. This usually wouldn't happen because icq allocation is not a hot path and, even when the condition triggers, it's highly unlikely that none of the writeback workers already has icq. However, this is still possible especially if elevator is being switched under high memory pressure, so we better get it fixed. Probably the only solution is just bypassing elevator and appending to dispatch queue on any elevator allocation failure. * Comment added to explain how icq's are managed and synchronized. This completes cleanup of io_context interface. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2011-12-13block, cfq: restructure io_cq creation path for io_context interface cleanupTejun Heo
Add elevator_ops->elevator_init_icq_fn() and restructure cfq_create_cic() and rename it to ioc_create_icq(). The new function expects its caller to pass in io_context, uses elevator_type->icq_cache, handles generic init, calls the new elevator operation for elevator specific initialization, and returns pointer to created or looked up icq. This leaves cfq_icq_pool variable without any user. Removed. This prepares for io_context interface cleanup and doesn't introduce any functional difference.

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: reorganize cfq_io_context into generic and cfq specific partsTejun Heo
Currently io_context and cfq logics are mixed without clear boundary. Most of io_context is independent from cfq but cfq_io_context handling logic is dispersed between generic ioc code and cfq. cfq_io_context represents association between an io_context and a request_queue, which is a concept useful outside of cfq, but it also contains fields which are useful only to cfq. This patch takes out generic part and put it into io_cq (io context-queue) and the rest into cfq_io_cq (cic moniker remains the same) which contains io_cq. The following changes are made together. * cfq_ttime and cfq_io_cq now live in cfq-iosched.c. * All related fields, functions and constants are renamed accordingly. * ioc->ioc_data is now "struct io_cq *" instead of "void *" and renamed to icq_hint. This prepares for io_context API cleanup. Documentation is currently sparse. It will be added later. Changes in this patch are mechanical and don't cause functional change.

2011-12-13block: reorder elevator switch sequenceTejun Heo
Elevator switch sequence first attached the new elevator, then tried registering it (sysfs) and if that failed attached back the old elevator. However, sysfs registration doesn't require the elevator to be attached, so there is no reason to do the "detach, attach new, register, maybe re-attach old" sequence. It can just do "register, detach, attach". * elevator_init_queue() is updated to set ->elevator_data directly and return 0 / -errno. This allows elevator_exit() on an unattached elevator. * __elv_unregister_queue() which was necessary to unregister unattached q is removed in favor of __elv_register_queue() which can register unattached q. * elevator_attach() becomes a single assignment and obscures more then it helps. Dropped. This will help cleaning up io_context handling across elevator switch. This patch doesn't introduce visible behavior change.

2011-12-13block, cfq: replace current_io_context() with create_io_context()Tejun Heo
When called under queue_lock, current_io_context() triggers lockdep warning if it hits allocation path. This is because io_context installation is protected by task_lock which is not IRQ safe, so it triggers irq-unsafe-lock -> irq -> irq-safe-lock -> irq-unsafe-lock deadlock warning. Given the restriction, accessor + creator rolled into one doesn't work too well. Drop current_io_context() and let the users access task->io_context directly inside queue_lock combined with explicit creation using create_io_context(). Future ioc updates will further consolidate ioc access and the create interface will be unexported. While at it, relocate ioc internal interface declarations in blk.h and add section comments before and after. This patch does not introduce functional change.

2011-12-13block, cfq: unlink cfq_io_context's immediatelyTejun Heo
cic is association between io_context and request_queue. A cic is linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one goes away. As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the other. Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU. ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without grabbing lock. This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely fragile convolution. e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too soon after ioc and q exits raced. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: [ 88.503444] Pid: 599, comm: hexdump Not tainted 3.1.0-rc10-work+ #158 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81397628>] [<ffffffff81397628>] cfq_exit_single_io_context+0x58/0xf0 ...

This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue perform double-locking and unlink immediately. * From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock. It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks cic_list and unlink it. * From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock order. ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing. Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is by far the most common case. If the ioc accessed multiple devices, it tries with trylock. In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue. Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far* simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any meaningful overhead. This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics. Future patches will trim them. -v2: Vivek pointed out that cic->q was being dereferenced after cic->release() was called.

2011-12-13block, cfq: fix cic lookup lockingTejun Heo
* cfq_cic_lookup() may be called without queue_lock and multiple tasks can execute it simultaneously for the same shared ioc. Nothing prevents them racing each other and trying to drop the same dead cic entry multiple times. * smp_wmb() in cfq_exit_cic() doesn't really do anything and nothing prevents cfq_cic_lookup() seeing stale cic->key. This usually doesn't blow up because by the time cic is exited, all requests have been drained and new requests are terminated before going through elevator. However, it can still be triggered by plug merge path which doesn't grab queue_lock and thus can't check DEAD state reliably. This patch updates lookup locking such that, * Lookup is always performed under queue_lock. This doesn't add any more locking. The only issue is cfq_allow_merge() which can be called from plug merge path without holding any lock. For now, this is worked around by using cic of the request to merge into, which is guaranteed to have the same ioc. For longer term, I think it would be best to separate out plug merge method from regular one. * Spurious ioc->lock locking around cic lookup hint assignment dropped.

2011-12-13block, cfq: fix race condition in cic creation path and tighten lockingTejun Heo
cfq_get_io_context() would fail if multiple tasks race to insert cic's for the same association. This patch restructures cfq_get_io_context() such that slow path insertion race is handled properly. Note that the restructuring also makes cfq_get_io_context() called under queue_lock and performs both ioc and cfqd insertions while holding both ioc and queue locks.

2011-12-13block, cfq: move ioc ioprio/cgroup changed handling to cicTejun Heo
ioprio/cgroup change was handled by marking the changed state in ioc and, on the following access to the ioc, performing RCU-protected iteration through all cic's grabbing the matching queue_lock. This patch moves the changed state to each cic. When ioprio or cgroup changes, the respective bit is set on all cic's of the ioc and when each of those cic (not ioc) is accessed, change is applied for that specific ioc-queue pair. This also fixes the following two race conditions between setting and clearing of changed states. * Missing barrier between assign/load of ioprio and ioprio_changed allowed applying old ioprio. * Change requests could happen between application of change and clearing of changed variables.

2011-12-13block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix race on alloctionTejun Heo
Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio(). The former is always called from local task while the latter can be called from different task. The synchornization between them are peculiar and dubious. * current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and assignment is complete. It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and assignment. * set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if (ioc)". Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter is not a dependent load of the former. ie, if ioc itself were being dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho) but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is noop. As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock() protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two. Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's. Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new ioc after exit_io_context() is finished. ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex. The only hot path is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is alive. All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all other task sub structures without impacting anything. This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional. * alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context(). This is the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task. On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which should be put using put_io_context() afterwards. * The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock(). * get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit %current one). * PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc acquisition functions return %NULL. * All users are updated. Most are trivial but smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a bit of explanation. I suppose the original intention was to ensure ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install. There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another patch. * While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node specification. -v2: Vivek spotted contamination from debug patch.

cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps: step 1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not linked with a cic for the device step 3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() step 4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda step 5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the same ioc step 6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a cic for the device yet step 7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link() step 8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it step 9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link() But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7. step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait() The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the device.

struct request_queue is allocated with __GFP_ZERO so its "node" field is zero before initialization.

This reverts commit a72c5e5eb738033938ab30d6a634b74d1d060f10. The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be used during logging although actual usage hasn't been committed yet. This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot of problems. It is much worse than netif renames because it doesn't rename the actual device but just adds conveninence name which isn't used universally or enforced. Everything internal including device lookup and sysfs still uses the internal name and nothing prevents two devices from using conflicting alias - ie. sda can have sdb as its alias. This has been nacked by people working on device driver core, block layer and kernel-userland interface and shouldn't have been upstreamed.

If a SCSI device is removed while the device is still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release. When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up dereferencing already freed bdi. Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated queue is very unusual and error-prone. Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are complete.

2011-10-24blk-flush: move the queue kick intoJeff Moyer
A dm-multipath user reported[1] a problem when trying to boot a kernel with commit 4853abaae7e4a2af938115ce9071ef8684fb7af4 (block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags) applied. It turns out that an empty flush request can be sent into blk_insert_flush. When the BUG_ON was fixed to allow for this, I/O on the underlying device would stall. The reason is that blk_insert_cloned_request does not kick the queue. In the aforementioned commit, I had added a special case to kick the queue if data was sent down but the queue flags did not require a flush. A better solution is to push the queue kick up into blk_insert_cloned_request. This patch, along with a follow-on which fixes the BUG_ON, fixes the issue reported.
