2015-12-28block: add blk_start_queue_async()Jens Axboe
We currently only have an inline/sync helper to restart a stopped queue. If drivers need an async version, they have to roll their own. Add a generic helper instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

For h/w that advertise their block storage's underlying chunk size, it's a big performance win to not submit commands that cross them. This patch uses that criteria if it is provided.

2015-12-22block: ensure to split after potentially bouncing a bioJunichi Nomura
blk_queue_bio() does split then bounce, which makes the segment counting based on pages before bouncing and could go wrong. Move the split to after bouncing, like we do for blk-mq, and the we fix the issue of having the bio count for segments be wrong.

2015-12-07Merge branch 'master' into for-4.4-fixesTejun Heo
The following commit which went into mainline through networking tree 3b13758f51de ("cgroups: Allow dynamically changing net_classid") conflicts in net/core/netclassid_cgroup.c with the following pending fix in cgroup/for-4.4-fixes. 1f7dd3e5a6e4 ("cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling") The former separates out update_classid() from cgrp_attach() and updates it to walk all fds of all tasks in the target css so that it can be used from both migration and config change paths. The latter drops @css from cgrp_attach(). Resolve the conflict by making cgrp_attach() call update_classid() with the css from the first task. We can revive @tset walking in cgrp_attach() but given that net_cls is v1 only where there always is only one target css during migration, this is fine.

2015-12-04SCSI: Fix NULL pointer dereference in runtime PMKen Xue
The routines in scsi_pm.c assume that if a runtime-PM callback is invoked for a SCSI device, it can only mean that the device's driver has asked the block layer to handle the runtime power management (by calling blk_pm_runtime_init(), which among other things sets q->dev). However, this assumption turns out to be wrong for things like the ses driver. Normally ses devices are not allowed to do runtime PM, but userspace can override this setting. If this happens, the kernel gets a NULL pointer dereference when blk_post_runtime_resume() tries to use the uninitialized q->dev pointer. This patch fixes the problem by checking q->dev in block layer before handle runtime PM. Since ses doesn't define any PM callbacks and call blk_pm_runtime_init(), the crash won't occur. This fixes Bugzilla #101371. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101371 More discussion can be found from below link. http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=144163730531875&w=2 Signed-off-by: Ken Xue <Ken.Xue@amd.com> Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Xiangliang Yu <Xiangliang.Yu@amd.com> Cc: James E.J.

2015-12-03cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control ↵Tejun Heo
enabling Consider the following v2 hierarchy. P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A \- B P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't. If both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of P1. Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to the former and B's processes the latter. IOW, enabling controllers can cause atomic migrations into different csses. The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the target csses. pids controller depends on the migration methods to move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a counter negative.

All controllers are updated accordingly. * Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple target csses can be converted trivially. cpu, io, freezer, perf, netclassid and netprio fall in this category. * cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already. The only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css is obtained. * memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2. How the single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change. * pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug. It now correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

2015-11-29block: Always check queue limits for cloned requestsHannes Reinecke
When a cloned request is retried on other queues it always needs to be checked against the queue limits of that queue. Otherwise the calculations for nr_phys_segments might be wrong, leading to a crash in scsi_init_sgtable(). To clarify this the patch renames blk_rq_check_limits() to blk_cloned_rq_check_limits() and removes the symbol export, as the new function should only be used for cloned requests and never exported.

2015-11-26Return EBUSY from BLKRRPART for mounted whole-dev fsEric Sandeen
Today, blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda will fail with EBUSY if any partition of sda is mounted (and will fail with EINVAL if pointed at a partition). But it will pass if the entire block device is formatted with a filesystem and mounted. I don't think this makes sense; partitioning should surely not ever change out from under a mounted device. So check for bdev->bd_super, and fail that with -EBUSY as well. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-11-26block/sd: Fix device-imposed transfer length limitsMartin K. Petersen
Commit 4f258a46346c ("sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests") had the unfortunate side-effect of removing an implicit clamp to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS for REQ_TYPE_FS requests in the block layer code. This caused problems for some SMR drives. Debugging this issue revealed a few problems with the existing infrastructure since the block layer didn't know how to deal with device-imposed limits, only limits set by the I/O controller. - Introduce a new queue limit, max_dev_sectors, which is used by the ULD to signal the maximum sectors for a REQ_TYPE_FS request. - Ensure that max_dev_sectors is correctly stacked and taken into account when overriding max_sectors through sysfs. - Rework sd_read_block_limits() so it saves the max_xfer and opt_xfer values for later processing. - In sd_revalidate() set the queue's max_dev_sectors based on the MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value in the Block Limits VPD. If this value is not reported, fall back to a cap based on the CDB TRANSFER LENGTH field size. - In sd_revalidate(), use OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH from the Block Limits VPD--if reported and sane--to signal the preferred device transfer size for FS requests. Otherwise use BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. - blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() is no longer used and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2015-11-25Revert "blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not required"Jens Axboe
This reverts commit 1b2ff19e6a957b1ef0f365ad331b608af80e932e. Jan writes: -- Thanks for report! After some investigation I found out we allocate elevator specific data in __get_request() only for non-flush requests. And this is actually required since the flush machinery uses the space in struct request for something else. Doh. So my patch is just wrong and not easy to fix since at the time __get_request() is called we are not sure whether the flush machinery will be used in the end. Jens, please revert 1b2ff19e6a957b1ef0f365ad331b608af80e932e. Thanks! I'm somewhat surprised that you can reliably hit the race where flushing gets disabled for the device just while the request is in flight. But I guess during boot it makes some sense. -- So let's just revert it, we can fix the queue run manually after the fact. This race is rare enough that it didn't trigger in testing, it requires the specific disable-while-in-flight scenario to trigger.

2015-11-16blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not requiredJan Kara
Currently blk_insert_flush() just adds flush request to q->queue_head when flush is not required. That completely bypasses IO scheduler so e.g. CFQ can be idling waiting for new request to arrive and will idle through the whole window unnecessarily. Luckily this only happens in rare cases as usually checks in generic_make_request_checks() clear FLUSH and FUA flags early if they are not needed. When no flushing is actually required, we can easily fix the problem by properly queueing the request through the IO scheduler. Ideally IO scheduler should be also made aware of requests queued via blk_flush_queue_rq(). However inserting flush request through IO scheduler can have unwanted side-effects since due to flush batching delaying the flush request in IO scheduler will delay all flush requests possibly coming from other processes. So we keep adding the request directly to q->queue_head. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIMMel Gorman
__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.

2015-11-07mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman
sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

2015-11-03blk-mq: avoid excessive boot delays with large lun countsJeff Moyer
Hi, Zhangqing Luo reported long boot times on a system with thousands of LUNs when scsi-mq was enabled. He narrowed the problem down to blk_mq_add_queue_tag_set, where every queue is frozen in order to set the BLK_MQ_F_TAG_SHARED flag. Each added device will freeze all queues added before it in sequence, which involves waiting for an RCU grace period for each one. We don't need to do this. After the second queue is added, only new queues need to be initialized with the shared tag. We can do that by percolating the flag up to the blk_mq_tag_set, and updating the newly added queue's hctxs if the flag is set. This problem was introduced by commit 0d2602ca30e41 (blk-mq: improve support for shared tags maps).

2015-10-28block: re-add discard_granularity and alignment checksMing Lin
In commit b49a087("block: remove split code in blkdev_issue_{discard,write_same}"), discard_granularity and alignment checks were removed. Ideally, with bio late splitting, the upper layers shouldn't need to depend on device's limits. Christoph reported a discard regression on the HGST Ultrastar SN100 NVMe device when mkfs.xfs. We have not found the root cause yet. This patch re-adds discard_granularity and alignment checks by reverting the related changes in commit b49a087. The good thing is now we can remove the 2G discard size cap and just use UINT_MAX to avoid bi_size overflow.

2015-10-22blkcg: don't create "io.stat" on the root cgroupTejun Heo
The stat files on the root cgroup shows stats for the whole system and usually don't contain any information which isn't available through the usual system monitoring mechanisms. Some controllers skip collecting these duplicate stats to optimize cases where cgroup isn't used and later try to emulate the result on demand. This leads to complexities and subtle differences in the information shown through different channels. This is entirely unnecessary and cgroup v2 is dropping stat files which are duplicate from all controllers. This patch removes "io.stat" from the root hierarchy.

2015-10-21block: fix plug list flushing for nomerge queuesJeff Moyer
Request queues with merging disabled will not flush the plug list after BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT requests have been queued, since the code relies on blk_attempt_plug_merge to compute the request_count.

2015-10-21block: add an API for Persistent ReservationsChristoph Hellwig
This commits adds a driver API and ioctls for controlling Persistent Reservations s/genericly/generically/ at the block layer. Persistent Reservations are supported by SCSI and NVMe and allow controlling who gets access to a device in a shared storage setup. Note that we add a pr_ops structure to struct block_device_operations instead of adding the members directly to avoid bloating all instances of devices that will never support Persistent Reservations.
