Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
"Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
(really) fast devices. The code has been reviewed and has been
sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough
for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.
Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported. A framework is in
the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune
this. And we'll add libaio support as well soon. Fow now, it's an
opt-in feature for test purposes"
* 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
direct-io: be sure to assign dio->bio_bdev for both paths
directio: add block polling support
NVMe: add blk polling support
block: add block polling support
blk-mq: return tag/queue combo in the make_request_fn handlers

No functional changes in this patch, but it prepares us for returning
a more useful cookie related to the IO that was queued up.

`mem_used_max' is designed to store the max amount of memory zram consumed
to store the data. However, it does not represent the actual
'overcommited' (max) value. The existing code goes to -ENOMEM
overcommited case before it updates `->stats.max_used_pages', which hides
the reason we went to -ENOMEM in the first place -- we actually used more
memory than `->limit_pages':
alloced_pages = zs_get_total_pages(meta->mem_pool);
if (zram->limit_pages && alloced_pages > zram->limit_pages) {
zs_free(meta->mem_pool, handle);
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}
update_used_max(zram, alloced_pages);
Which is misleading. User will see -ENOMEM, check `->limit_pages', check
`->stats.max_used_pages', which will keep the value BEFORE zram passed
`->limit_pages', and see:
`->stats.max_used_pages' < `->limit_pages'
Move update_used_max() before we do `->limit_pages' check, so that
user will see:
`->stats.max_used_pages' > `->limit_pages'
should the overcommit and -ENOMEM happen.

When the user supplies an unsupported compression algorithm, keep the
previously selected one (knowingly supported) or the default one (if the
compression algorithm hasn't been changed yet).
Note that previously this operation (i.e. setting an invalid algorithm)
would result in no algorithm being selected, which means that this
represents a small change in the default behaviour.
Minchan said:
For initializing zram, we need to set up 3 optional parameters in advance.
1. the number of compression streams
2. memory limitation
3. compression algorithm
Although user pass completely wrong value to set up for 1 and 2
parameters, it's okay because they have default value so zram will be
initialized with the default value (of course, when user passes a wrong
value via *echo*, sysfs returns -EINVAL so the user can notice it).
But 3 is not consistent with other optional parameters. IOW, if the
user passes a wrong value to set up 3 parameter, zram's initialization
would fail unlike other optional parameters.
So this patch makes them consistent.

zcomp_create() verifies the success of zcomp_strm_{multi,single}_create()
through comp->stream, which can potentially be pointing to memory that
was freed if these functions returned an error.
While at it, replace a 'ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)' by a more generic
'ERR_PTR(error)' as in the future zcomp_strm_{multi,siggle}_create()
could return other error codes. Function documentation updated
accordingly.

Make zram syslog error reporting more consistent. We have random
error levels in some places. For example, critical errors like
"Error allocating memory for compressed page"
and
"Unable to allocate temp memory"
are reported as KERN_INFO messages.
a) Reassign error levels
Error messages that directly affect zram
functionality -- pr_err():
Error allocating zram address table
Error creating memory pool
Decompression failed! err=%d, page=%u
Unable to allocate temp memory
Compression failed! err=%d
Error allocating memory for compressed page: %u, size=%zu
Cannot initialise %s compressing backend
Error allocating disk queue for device %d
Error allocating disk structure for device %d
Error creating sysfs group for device %d
Unable to register zram-control class
Unable to get major number
Messages that do not affect functionality, but user
must be warned (because sysfs attrs will be removed in
this particular case) -- pr_warn():
%d (%s) Attribute %s (and others) will be removed. %s
Messages that do not affect functionality and mostly are
informative -- pr_info():
Cannot change max compression streams
Can't change algorithm for initialized device
Cannot change disksize for initialized device
Added device: %s
Removed device: %s
b) Update sysfs_create_group() error message
First, it lacks a trailing new line; add it. Second, every error message
in zram_add() has a "for device %d" part, which makes errors more
informative. Add missing part to "Error creating sysfs group" message.

Compaction returns back to zram the number of migrated objects, which is
quite uninformative -- we have objects of different sizes so user space
cannot obtain any valuable data from that number. Change compaction to
operate in terms of pages and return back to compaction issuer the
number of pages that were freed during compaction. So from now on we
will export more meaningful value in zram<id>/mm_stat -- the number of
freed (compacted) pages.
This requires:
(a) a rename of `num_migrated' to 'pages_compacted'
(b) a internal API change -- return first_page's fullness_group from
putback_zspage(), so we know when putback_zspage() did
free_zspage(). It helps us to account compaction stats correctly.

`zs_compact_control' accounts the number of migrated objects but it has
a limited lifespan -- we lose it as soon as zs_compaction() returns back
to zram. It worked fine, because (a) zram had it's own counter of
migrated objects and (b) only zram could trigger compaction. However,
this does not work for automatic pool compaction (not issued by zram).
To account objects migrated during auto-compaction (issued by the
shrinker) we need to store this number in zs_pool.
Define a new `struct zs_pool_stats' structure to keep zs_pool's stats
there. It provides only `num_migrated', as of this writing, but it
surely can be extended.
A new zsmalloc zs_pool_stats() symbol exports zs_pool's stats back to
caller.
Use zs_pool_stats() in zram and remove `num_migrated' from zram_stats.

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This first core part of the block IO changes contains:
- Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph. We used to
rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
store the error in the bio itself.
- Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.
- Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
from Jeff Moyer. This caused performance regressions in various
tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
instead.
- Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down.
We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
sectors.
- Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.
- Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
path). From Kent.
- Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
faster. From Ming Lei.
- Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
condition.
- Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
for a while, and testing them. Ming also did a few fixes around
that.
- Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph.
- Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar"

zram_meta_alloc() constructs a pool name for zs_create_pool() call as
snprintf(pool_name, sizeof(pool_name), "zram%d", device_id);
However, it defines pool name buffer to be only 8 bytes long (minus
trailing zero), which means that we can have only 1000 pool names: zram0
-- zram999.
With CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT enabled an attempt to create a device zram1000
can fail if device zram100 already exists, because snprintf() will
truncate new pool name to zram100 and pass it debugfs_create_dir(),
causing:
debugfs dir <zram100> creation failed
zram: Error creating memory pool
... and so on.
Fix it by passing zram->disk->disk_name to zram_meta_alloc() instead of
divice_id. We construct zram%d name earlier and keep it as a ->disk_name,
no need to snprintf() it again.

The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.
But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.
We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.
Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:
* nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
* axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
* simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
* brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
* mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
* loop_make_request
* null_queue_bio
* bcache's make_request fns
Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
(1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
(2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.
So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Improvement idea by Marcin Jabrzyk.
comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name,
because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the
device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following
error:
"zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend"
this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed
attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers.
add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store():
echo lzz > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Supplied sysfs values sometimes contain new-line symbols (echo vs. echo
-n), which we also copy as a compression algorithm name. it works fine
when we lookup for compression algorithm, because we use sysfs_streq()
which takes care of new line symbols. however, it doesn't look nice when
we print compression algorithm name if zcomp_create() failed:
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ
compressing backend
cut trailing new-line, so the error string will look like
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ compressing backend
we also now can replace sysfs_streq() in zcomp_available_show() with
strcmp().

We currently don't support on-demand device creation. The one and only
way to have N zram devices is to specify num_devices module parameter
(default value: 1). IOW if, for some reason, at some point, user wants
to have N + 1 devies he/she must umount all the existing devices, unload
the module, load the module passing num_devices equals to N + 1. And do
this again, if needed.
This patch introduces zram control sysfs class, which has two sysfs
attrs:
- hot_add -- add a new zram device
- hot_remove -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device
hot_add sysfs attr is read-only and has only automatic device id
assignment mode (as requested by Minchan Kim). read operation performed
on this attr creates a new zram device and returns back its device_id or
error status.
Usage example:
# add a new specific zram device
cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
2
# remove a specific zram device
echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
Returning zram_add() error code back to user (-ENOMEM in this case)
cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
cat: /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add: Cannot allocate memory
NOTE, there might be users who already depend on the fact that at least
zram0 device gets always created by zram_init(). Preserve this behavior.

[ Original patch from Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> ]
Commit ba6b17d68c8e ("zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race
condition") introduced bdev->bd_mutex to protect a race between mount
and reset. At that time, we don't have dynamic zram-add/remove feature
so it was okay.
However, as we introduce dynamic device feature, bd_mutex became
trouble.
CPU 0
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram<id>/reset
-> kernfs->s_active(A)
-> zram:reset_store->bd_mutex(B)
CPU 1
echo <id> > /sys/class/zram/zram-remove
->zram:zram_remove: bd_mutex(B)
-> sysfs_remove_group
-> kernfs->s_active(A)
IOW, AB -> BA deadlock
The reason we are holding bd_mutex for zram_remove is to prevent
any incoming open /dev/zram[0-9]. Otherwise, we could remove zram
others already have opened. But it causes above deadlock problem.
To fix the problem, this patch overrides block_device.open and
it returns -EBUSY if zram asserts he claims zram to reset so any
incoming open will be failed so we don't need to hold bd_mutex
for zram_remove ayn more.
This patch is to prepare for zram-add/remove feature.

This patch looks big, but basically it just moves code blocks.
No functional changes.
Our current code layout looks like a sandwitch.
For example,
a) between read/write handlers, we have update_used_max() helper function:
static int zram_decompress_page
static int zram_bvec_read
static inline void update_used_max
static int zram_bvec_write
static int zram_bvec_rw
b) RW request handlers __zram_make_request/zram_bio_discard are divided by
sysfs attr reset_store() function and corresponding zram_reset_device()
handler:
static void zram_bio_discard
static void zram_reset_device
static ssize_t disksize_store
static ssize_t reset_store
static void __zram_make_request
c) we first a bunch of sysfs read/store functions. then a number of
one-liners, then helper functions, RW functions, sysfs functions, helper
functions again, and so on.
Reorganize layout to be more logically grouped (a brief description,
`cat zram_drv.c | grep static` gives a bigger picture):
-- one-liners: zram_test_flag/etc.
-- helpers: is_partial_io/update_position/etc
-- sysfs attr show/store functions + ZRAM_ATTR_RO() generated stats
show() functions
exception: reset and disksize store functions are required to be after
meta() functions. because we do device create/destroy actions in these
sysfs handlers.
-- "mm" functions: meta get/put, meta alloc/free, page free
static inline bool zram_meta_get
static inline void zram_meta_put
static void zram_meta_free
static struct zram_meta *zram_meta_alloc
static void zram_free_page
-- a block of I/O functions
static int zram_decompress_page
static int zram_bvec_read
static int zram_bvec_write
static void zram_bio_discard
static int zram_bvec_rw
static void __zram_make_request
static void zram_make_request
static void zram_slot_free_notify

-- device contol: add/remove/init/reset functions (+zram-control class

This patch makes some preparations for on-demand device add/remove
functionality.
Remove `zram_devices' array and switch to id-to-pointer translation (idr).
idr doesn't bloat zram struct with additional members, f.e. list_head,
yet still provides ability to match the device_id with the device pointer.
No user-space visible changes.

Add Documentation/ABI/obsolete/sysfs-block-zram file and list obsolete and
deprecated attributes there. The patch also adds additional information
to zram documentation and describes the basic strategy:
- the existing RW nodes will be downgraded to WO nodes (in 4.11)
- deprecated RO sysfs nodes will eventually be removed (in 4.11)
Users will be additionally notified about deprecated attr usage by
pr_warn_once() (added to every deprecated attr _show()), as suggested by
Minchan Kim.
User space is advised to use zram<id>/stat, zram<id>/io_stat and
zram<id>/mm_stat files.

Use bio generic_start_io_acct() and generic_end_io_acct() to account
device's block layer statistics. This will let users to monitor zram
activities using sysstat and similar packages/tools.
Apart from the usual per-stat sysfs attr, zram IO stats are now also

This patch introduces rework to zram stats. We have per-stat sysfs nodes,
and it makes things a bit hard to use in user space: it doesn't give an
immediate stats 'snapshot', it requires user space to use more syscalls -
open, read, close for every stat file, with appropriate error checks on
every step, etc.
First, zram now accounts block layer statistics, available in
/sys/block/zram<id>/stat and /proc/diskstats files. So some new stats are
available (see Documentation/block/stat.txt), besides, zram's activities
now can be monitored by sysstat's iostat or similar tools.
Example:
cat /sys/block/zram0/stat
248 0 1984 0 251029 0 2008232 5120 0 5116 5116
Second, group currently exported on per-stat basis nodes into two
categories (files):
-- zram<id>/io_stat
accumulates device's IO stats, that are not accounted by block layer,
and contains:
failed_reads
failed_writes
invalid_io
notify_free
Example:
cat /sys/block/zram0/io_stat
0 0 0 652572
-- zram<id>/mm_stat
accumulates zram mm stats and contains:
orig_data_size
compr_data_size
mem_used_total
mem_limit
mem_used_max
zero_pages
num_migrated
Example:
cat /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat
434634752 270288572 279158784 0 579895296 15060 0
per-stat sysfs nodes are now considered to be deprecated and we plan to
remove them (and clean up some of the existing stat code) in two years (as
of now, there is no warning printed to syslog about deprecated stats being
used). User space is advised to use the above mentioned 3 files.
This patch (of 7):
Remove sysfs `num_migrated' attribute. We are moving away from per-stat
device attrs towards 3 stat files that will accumulate io and mm stats in
a format similar to block layer statistics in /sys/block/<dev>/stat. That
will be easier to use in user space, and reduce the number of syscalls
needed to read zram device statistics.
`num_migrated' will return back in zram<id>/mm_stat file.

Currently the underlay of zpool: zsmalloc/zbud, do not know who creates
them. There is not a method to let zsmalloc/zbud find which caller they
belong to.
Now we want to add statistics collection in zsmalloc. We need to name the
debugfs dir for each pool created. The way suggested by Minchan Kim is to
use a name passed by caller(such as zram) to create the zsmalloc pool.
/sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zram0
This patch adds an argument `name' to zs_create_pool() and other related
functions.

`struct zram' contains both `struct gendisk' and `struct request_queue'.
the latter can be deleted, because zram->disk carries ->queue pointer, and
->queue carries zram pointer:
create_device()
zram->queue->queuedata = zram
zram->disk->queue = zram->queue
zram->disk->private_data = zram
so zram->queue is not needed, we can access all necessary data anyway.

Admin could reset zram during I/O operation going on so we have used
zram->init_lock as read-side lock in I/O path to prevent sudden zram
meta freeing.
However, the init_lock is really troublesome. We can't do call
zram_meta_alloc under init_lock due to lockdep splat because
zram_rw_page is one of the function under reclaim path and hold it as
read_lock while other places in process context hold it as write_lock.
So, we have used allocation out of the lock to avoid lockdep warn but
it's not good for readability and fainally, I met another lockdep splat
between init_lock and cpu_hotplug from kmem_cache_destroy during working
zsmalloc compaction. :(
Yes, the ideal is to remove horrible init_lock of zram in rw path. This
patch removes it in rw path and instead, add atomic refcount for meta
lifetime management and completion to free meta in process context.
It's important to free meta in process context because some of resource
destruction needs mutex lock, which could be held if we releases the
resource in reclaim context so it's deadlock, again.
As a bonus, we could remove init_done check in rw path because
zram_meta_get will do a role for it, instead.

The warning comes from bdev_write_node in blkdev_put path.

}

}
The reason is dd process encounters I/O fails due to sudden block device
disappear so in filemap_check_errors in __writeback_single_inode returns
-EIO.
If we check bd_openers instead of bd_holders, we could address the
problem. When I see the brd, it already have used it rather than
bd_holders so although I'm not a expert of block layer, it seems to be
better.
I can make following warning with below simple script. In addition, I
added msleep(2000) below set_capacity(zram->disk, 0) after applying your

We need to return set_capacity(disk, 0) from reset_store() back to
zram_reset_device(), a catch by Ganesh Mahendran. Potentially, we can
race set_capacity() calls from init and reset paths.
The problem is that zram_reset_device() is also getting called from
zram_exit(), which performs operations in misleading reversed order -- we
first create_device() and then init it, while zram_exit() perform
destroy_device() first and then does zram_reset_device(). This is done to
remove sysfs group before we reset device, so we can continue with device
reset/destruction not being raced by sysfs attr write (f.e. disksize).
Apart from that, destroy_device() releases zram->disk (but we still have
->disk pointer), so we cannot acces zram->disk in later
zram_reset_device() call, which may cause additional errors in the future.
So, this patch rework and cleanup destroy path.
1) remove several unneeded goto labels in zram_init()
2) factor out zram_init() error path and zram_exit() into
destroy_devices() function, which takes the number of devices to
destroy as its argument.
3) remove sysfs group in destroy_devices() first, so we can reorder
operations -- reset device (as expected) goes before disk destroy and
queue cleanup. So we can always access ->disk in zram_reset_device().
4) and, finally, return set_capacity() back under ->init_lock.

Ganesh Mahendran was the first one who proposed to use bdev->bd_mutex to
avoid ->bd_holders race condition:
CPU0 CPU1
umount /* zram->init_done is true */
reset_store()
bdev->bd_holders == 0 mount
... zram_make_request()
zram_reset_device()
However, his solution required some considerable amount of code movement,
which we can avoid.
Apart from using bdev->bd_mutex in reset_store(), this patch also
simplifies zram_reset_device().
zram_reset_device() has a bool parameter reset_capacity which tells it
whether disk capacity and itself disk should be reset. There are two
zram_reset_device() callers:
-- zram_exit() passes reset_capacity=false
-- reset_store() passes reset_capacity=true
So we can move reset_capacity-sensitive work out of zram_reset_device()
and perform it unconditionally in reset_store(). This also lets us drop
reset_capacity parameter from zram_reset_device() and pass zram pointer
only.

In current zram, we use DEVICE_ATTR() to define sys device attributes.
SO, we need to set (S_IRUGO | S_IWUSR) permission and other arguments
manually. Linux already provids the macro DEVICE_ATTR_[RW|RO|WO] to
define sys device attribute. It is simple and readable.
This patch uses kernel defined macro DEVICE_ATTR_[RW|RO|WO] to define

In struct zram_table_entry, the element *value* contains obj size and obj
zram flags. Bit 0 to bit (ZRAM_FLAG_SHIFT - 1) represent obj size, and
bit ZRAM_FLAG_SHIFT to the highest bit of unsigned long represent obj
zram_flags. So the first zram flag(ZRAM_ZERO) should be from
ZRAM_FLAG_SHIFT instead of (ZRAM_FLAG_SHIFT + 1).

This patch implements rw_page operation for zram block device.
I implemented the feature in zram and tested it. Test bed was the G2, LG
electronic mobile device, whtich has msm8974 processor and 2GB memory.
With a memory allocation test program consuming memory, the system
generates swap.
Operating time of swap_write_page() was measured.
--------------------------------------------------
| | operating time | improvement |
| | (20 runs average) | |
--------------------------------------------------
|with patch | 1061.15 us | +2.4% |
--------------------------------------------------
|without patch| 1087.35 us | |
--------------------------------------------------
Each test(with paged_io,with BIO) result set shows normal distribution and
has equal variance. I mean the two values are valid result to compare. I
can say operation with paged I/O(without BIO) is faster 2.4% with
confidence level 95%.
