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>
2011-09-21blk-cgroup: be able to remove the record of unplugged deviceWanlong Gao
The bug is we're not able to remove the device from blkio cgroup's per-device control files if it gets unplugged. To reproduce the bug: # mount -t cgroup -o blkio xxx /cgroup # cd /cgroup # echo "8:0 1000" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device # unplug the device # cat blkio.throttle.read_bps_device 8:0 1000 # echo "8:0 0" > blkio.throttle.read_bps_device -bash: echo: write error: No such device After patching, the device removal will succeed.

In __blk_complete_request, we check both QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_COMP and req->cpu to decide whether we should use req->cpu. Actually the user can also select the complete cpu by either setting BIO_CPU_AFFINE or by calling bio_set_completion_cpu. Current solution makes these 2 ways don't work any more.

2011-08-29[SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendiskNao Nishijima
This patch allows the user to set an "alias" of the disk via sysfs interface. This patch only adds a new attribute "alias" in gendisk structure. To show the alias instead of the device name in kernel messages, we need to revise printk messages and use alias_name() in them. Example: (current) printk("disk name is %s\n", disk->disk_name); (new) printk("disk name is %s\n", alias_name(disk)); Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can have an "alias" which length is up to 255 bytes. This attribute is write-once.

2011-08-24block: simplify force plug flush code a little bitShaohua Li
Cleaning up the code a little bit. attempt_plug_merge() traverses the plug list anyway, we can do the request counting there, so stack size is reduced a little bit. The motivation here is I suspect if we should count the requests for each queue (task could handle multiple disks in the meantime), but my test doesn't show it's worthy doing. If somebody proves we should do it, below change will make that more easier.

2011-08-15block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flagsJeff Moyer
Commit ae1b1539622fb46e51b4d13b3f9e5f4c713f86ae, block: reimplement FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain storage (in our case, an HP EVA). The test I ran was fs_mark, and it dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec. It turns out that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off. The above commit changed that behavior: static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q) { struct request *rq; while (1) { - while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) { + if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) { rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next); - if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) || - (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ)) - return rq; - rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq); - if (rq) - return rq; + return rq; } Note that previously, a command would come in here, have REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush: struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq) { unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */ bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA; bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH); bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA); unsigned skip = 0; ... if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) { rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH; if (!has_fua) rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA; return rq; } So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0 && rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)). Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all. Instead, __elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not support flush or fua. The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow stacking. While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and make it function as designed. In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request, inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io). Shaohua had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data, but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by other drivers. So, I didn't see a way around the additional field. I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers the lost performance. Comments and other testers, as always, are appreciated. Cheers, Jeff Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2011-08-11block: improve rq_affinity placementShaohua Li
This patch reverts commit 35ae66e0a09ab70ed(block: Make rq_affinity = 1 work as expected). The purpose is to avoid an unnecessary IPI. Let's take an example. My test box has cpu 0-7, one socket. Say request is added from CPU 1, blk_complete_request() occurs at CPU 7. Without the reverted patch, softirq will be done at CPU 7. With it, an IPI will be directed to CPU 0, and softirq will be done at CPU 0. In this case, doing softirq at CPU 0 and CPU 7 have no difference from cache sharing point view and we can avoid an ipi if doing it in CPU 7. An immediate concern is this is just like QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE, but actually not. blk_complete_request() is running in interrupt handler, and currently I/O controller doesn't support multiple interrupts (I checked several LSI cards and AHCI), so only one CPU can run blk_complete_request(). This is still quite different as QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE. Since only one CPU runs softirq, the only difference with below patch is softirq not always runs at the first CPU of a group.

2011-08-09allow blk_flush_policy to return REQ_FSEQ_DATA independent of *FLUSHJeff Moyer
blk_insert_flush has the following check: /* * If there's data but flush is not necessary, the request can be * processed directly without going through flush machinery. Queue * for normal execution. */ if ((policy & REQ_FSEQ_DATA) && !(policy & (REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH | REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH))) { list_add_tail(&rq->queuelist, &q->queue_head); return; } However, blk_flush_policy will not return with policy set to only REQ_FSEQ_DATA: static unsigned int blk_flush_policy(unsigned int fflags, struct request *rq) { unsigned int policy = 0; if (fflags & REQ_FLUSH) { if (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH) policy |= REQ_FSEQ_PREFLUSH; if (blk_rq_sectors(rq)) policy |= REQ_FSEQ_DATA; if (!(fflags & REQ_FUA) && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FUA)) policy |= REQ_FSEQ_POSTFLUSH; } return policy; } Notice that REQ_FSEQ_DATA is only set if REQ_FLUSH is set. Fix this mismatch by moving the setting of REQ_FSEQ_DATA outside of the REQ_FLUSH check. Tejun notes: Hmmm... yes, this can become a correctness issue if (and only if) blk_queue_flush() is called to change q->flush_flags while requests are in-flight; otherwise, requests wouldn't reach the function at all. Also, I think it would be a generally good idea to always set FSEQ_DATA if the request has data.

2011-08-05block: Make rq_affinity = 1 work as expectedTao Ma
Commit 5757a6d76c introduced a new rq_affinity = 2 so as to make the request completed in the __make_request cpu. But it makes the old rq_affinity = 1 not work any more. The root cause is that if the 'cpu' and 'req->cpu' is in the same group and cpu != req->cpu, ccpu will be the same as group_cpu, so the completion will be excuted in the 'cpu' not 'group_cpu'. This patch fix problem by simpling removing group_cpu and the codes are more explicit now. If ccpu == cpu, we complete in cpu, otherwise we raise_blk_irq to ccpu.

2011-08-03fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directoryAkinobu Mita
init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs. But it can only export it in debugfs root directory. Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem. The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request. init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a directory in the arbitrary directory and replace init_fault_attr_dentries().

2011-08-02cfq-iosched: Reduce linked group count upon group destructionVivek Goyal
FQ keeps track of number of groups which are linked on blkcg->blkg_list. This is useful to avoid races between queue exit and cgroup exit code paths. So if at the request queue exit time linked group count is not zero, that means there are some group out there which is yet to be deleted under rcu read period and queue exit code should wait for on rcu period. In my previous patch I forgot to decrease the number of group count. So in current form, we nr_blkcg_linked_grps is always non-zero and we will always wait one rcu period (if BLK_CGROUP=y). The side effect of this is that it can increase boot time. I am surprised, nobody complained so far. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

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>

2011-07-21[SCSI] fix crash in scsi_dispatch_cmd()James Bottomley
USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD followed by attempted unmount. The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be sent to a dead queue. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>

2011-07-12fixlet: Remove fs_excl from struct task.Justin TerAvest
fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many cases (like across cgroups). fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed a boost. It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete. Lets kill it. Signed-off-by: Justin TerAvest <teravest@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-07-08block: avoid building too big plug listShaohua Li
When I test fio script with big I/O depth, I found the total throughput drops compared to some relative small I/O depth. The reason is the thread accumulates big requests in its plug list and causes some delays (surely this depends on CPU speed). I thought we'd better have a threshold for requests. When a threshold reaches, this means there is no request merge and queue lock contention isn't severe when pushing per-task requests to queue, so the main advantages of blk plug don't exist. We can force a plug list flush in this case. With this, my test throughput actually increases and almost equals to small I/O depth. Another side effect is irq off time decreases in blk_flush_plug_list() for big I/O depth. The BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT is choosen arbitarily, but 16 is efficiently to reduce lock contention to me. But I'm open here, 32 is ok in my test too. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2011-07-06block: eliminate potential for infinite loop in blkdev_issue_discardMike Snitzer
Due to the recently identified overflow in read_capacity_16() it was possible for max_discard_sectors to be zero but still have discards enabled on the associated device's queue. Eliminate the possibility for blkdev_issue_discard to infinitely loop. Interestingly this issue wasn't identified until a device, whose discard_granularity was 0 due to read_capacity_16 overflow, was consumed by blk_stack_limits() to construct limits for a higher-level DM multipath device. The multipath device's resulting limits never had the discard limits stacked because blk_stack_limits() will only do so if the bottom device's discard_granularity != 0. This resulted in the multipath device's limits.max_discard_sectors being 0. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-07-01block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)Tejun Heo
Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point. It has two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states and proceed to generate more events. Secondly, it's passed on to device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device. The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage. Among other things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can. This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers. disk_check_events() is renamed to disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the next ->check_events() invocation. This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from userland - e.g. with eject(1). Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly complex. disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint can be boolean @flush.

2011-06-09block: make disk_block_events() properly wait for work cancellationTejun Heo
disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further cancellations. Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing cancel_delayed_work_sync() and the following blockers, the following blockers could finish before cancellation was complete, which broke both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could happen after return. This bug triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662 Fix it by adding an outer mutex which protects both block count manipulation and work cancellation. -v2: Use outer mutex instead of bit waitqueue per Linus.
