commit eb1c160b22655fd4ec44be732d6594fd1b1e44f4 upstream. The soft lockup below happens at the boot time of the system using dm multipath and the udev rules to switch scheduler.

A timer is started for each request put on the device's queue (see blk_start_request->blk_add_timer). If the request does not complete before the timer expires, the timer handler (blk_rq_timed_out_timer) will mark the request complete atomically: static inline int blk_mark_rq_complete(struct request *rq) { return test_and_set_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE, &rq->atomic_flags); } and then call blk_rq_timed_out. The latter function will call scsi_times_out, which will return one of BLK_EH_HANDLED, BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER or BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED. If BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER is returned, blk_clear_rq_complete is called, and blk_add_timer is again called to simply wait longer for the request to complete. Now, if the request happens to complete while this is going on, what happens? Given that we know the completion handler will bail if it finds the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE bit set, we need to focus on the completion handler running after that bit is cleared. So, from the above paragraph, after the call to blk_clear_rq_complete. If the completion sets REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE before the BUG_ON in blk_add_timer, we go boom there (I haven't seen this in the cores). Next, if we get the completion before the call to list_add_tail, then the timer will eventually fire for an old req, which may either be freed or reallocated (there is evidence that this might be the case). Finally, if the completion comes in *after* the addition to the timeout list, I think it's harmless. The request will be removed from the timeout list, req_atom_complete will be set, and all will be well. This will only actually explain the coredumps *IF* the request structure was freed, reallocated *and* queued before the error handler thread had a chance to process it. That is possible, but it may make sense to keep digging for another race. I think that if this is what was happening, we would see other instances of this problem showing up as null pointer or garbage pointer dereferences, for example when the request structure was not re-used. It looks like we actually do run into that situation in other reports. This patch moves the BUG_ON(test_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE, &req->atomic_flags)); from blk_add_timer to the only caller that could trip over it (blk_start_request). It then inverts the calls to blk_clear_rq_complete and blk_add_timer in blk_rq_timed_out to address the race. I've boot tested this patch, but nothing more.

2013-07-18block: queue work on power efficient wqViresh Kumar
Block layer uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them. On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one. This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.

2013-05-17blkpm: avoid sleep when holding queue lockAaron Lu
In blk_post_runtime_resume, an autosuspend request will be initiated for the device. Since we are holding the queue lock, we can't sleep and thus we should use the async version to initiate an autosuspend, i.e. pm_request_suspend instead of pm_runtime_suspend, which might sleep.

Converts it to use bio_advance(), simplifying it quite a bit in the process.

2013-02-21block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during writeDarrick J. Wong
This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot page contents instead of waiting. For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking (which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

bio_{front|back}_merge tracepoints report a bio merging into an existing request but didn't specify which request the bio is being merged into. Add @req to it. This makes it impossible to share the event template with block_bio_queue - split it out. @req isn't used or exported to userland at this point and there is no userland visible behavior change. Later changes will make use of the extra parameter. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2013-01-14block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepointTejun Heo
bio completion didn't kick block_bio_complete TP. Only dm was explicitly triggering the TP on IO completion. This makes block_bio_complete TP useless for tracers which want to know about bios, and all other bio based drivers skip generating blktrace completion events. This patch makes all bio completions via bio_endio() generate block_bio_complete TP. * Explicit trace_block_bio_complete() invocation removed from dm and the trace point is unexported. * @rq dropped from trace_block_bio_complete(). bios may fly around w/o queue associated. Verifying and accessing the assocaited queue belongs to TP probes. * blktrace now gets both request and bio completions. Make it ignore bio completions if request completion path is happening. This makes all bio based drivers generate blktrace completion events properly and makes the block_bio_complete TP actually useful. v2: With this change, block_bio_complete TP could be invoked on sg commands which have bio's with %NULL bi_bdev. Update TP assignment code to check whether bio->bi_bdev is %NULL before dereferencing.

In commit 975927b942c932,it add blk_rq_pos to sort rq when flushing. Although this commit was used for the situation which blk_plug handled multi devices on the same time like md device. I think there must be some situations like this but only single device. So remove the should_sort judgement.

2012-12-06block: Make blk_cleanup_queue() wait until request_fn finishedBart Van Assche
Some request_fn implementations, e.g. scsi_request_fn(), unlock the queue lock internally. This may result in multiple threads executing request_fn for the same queue simultaneously. Keep track of the number of active request_fn calls and make sure that blk_cleanup_queue() waits until all active request_fn invocations have finished. A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so blk_cleanup_queue() must wait for all outstanding request_fn invocations to finish.

2012-12-06block: Avoid scheduling delayed work on a dead queueBart Van Assche
Running a queue must continue after it has been marked dying until it has been marked dead. So the function blk_run_queue_async() must not schedule delayed work after blk_cleanup_queue() has marked a queue dead. Hence add a test for that queue state in blk_run_queue_async() and make sure that queue_unplugged() invokes that function with the queue lock held. This avoids that the queue state can change after it has been tested and before mod_delayed_work() is invoked. Drop the queue dying test in queue_unplugged() since it is now superfluous: __blk_run_queue() already tests whether or not the queue is dead.

2012-12-06block: Avoid that request_fn is invoked on a dead queueBart Van Assche
A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress. As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.

QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is used to indicate that queuing new requests must stop. After this flag has been set queue draining starts.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo: "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this round including considerable API and behavior cleanups. * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as expected. * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added. These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface and behave like timer which is executed with process context. * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario the overhead isn't too high. All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished execution of any previous queueing on return. * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU hotplug handling significantly. * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU hotplug. There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

2012-09-21block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of ↵Tejun Heo
blk_init_allocated_queue() b82d4b197c ("blkcg: make request_queue bypassing on allocation") made request_queues bypassed on allocation to avoid switching on and off bypass mode on a queue being initialized. Some drivers allocate and then destroy a lot of queues without fully initializing them and incurring bypass latency overhead on each of them could add upto significant overhead. Unfortunately, blk_init_allocated_queue() is never used by queues of bio-based drivers, which means that all bio-based driver queues are in bypass mode even after initialization and registration complete successfully. Due to the limited way request_queues are used by bio drivers, this problem is hidden pretty well but it shows up when blk-throttle is used in combination with a bio-based driver. Trying to configure (echoing to cgroupfs file) blk-throttle for a bio-based driver hangs indefinitely in blkg_conf_prep() waiting for bypass mode to end. This patch moves the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() call from blk_init_allocated_queue() to blk_register_queue() which is called for any userland-visible queues regardless of its type. I believe this is correct because I don't think there is any block driver which needs or wants working elevator and blk-cgroup on a queue which isn't visible to userland. If there are such users, we need a different solution.

2012-08-30block: rate-limit the error message from failing commandsYi Zou
When performing a cable pull test w/ active stress I/O using fio over a dual port Intel 82599 FCoE CNA, w/ 256LUNs on one port and about 32LUNs on the other, it is observed that the system becomes not usable due to scsi-ml being busy printing the error messages for all the failing commands. I don't believe this problem is specific to FCoE and these commands are anyway failing due to link being down (DID_NO_CONNECT), just rate-limit the messages here to solve this issue. v2->v1: use __ratelimit() as Tomas Henzl mentioned as the proper way for rate-limit per function. However, in this case, the failed i/o gets to blk_end_request_err() and then blk_update_request(), which also has to be rate-limited, as added in the v2 of this patch. v3-v2: resolved conflict to apply on current 3.6-rc3 upstream tip.

2012-08-21workqueue: deprecate __cancel_delayed_work()Tejun Heo
Now that cancel_delayed_work() can be safely called from IRQ handlers, there's no reason to use __cancel_delayed_work().

2012-08-21workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of __cancel + queueTejun Heo
Now that mod_delayed_work() is safe to call from IRQ handlers, __cancel_delayed_work() followed by queue_delayed_work() can be replaced with mod_delayed_work(). Most conversions are straight-forward except for the following. * net/core/link_watch.c: linkwatch_schedule_work() was doing a quite elaborate dancing around its delayed_work. Collapse it such that linkwatch_work is queued for immediate execution if LW_URGENT and existing timer is kept otherwise. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: "David S.

2012-06-26blkcg: implement per-blkg request allocationTejun Heo
Currently, request_queue has one request_list to allocate requests from regardless of blkcg of the IO being issued. When the unified request pool is used up, cfq proportional IO limits become meaningless - whoever grabs the next request being freed wins the race regardless of the configured weights. This can be easily demonstrated by creating a blkio cgroup w/ very low weight, put a program which can issue a lot of random direct IOs there and running a sequential IO from a different cgroup. As soon as the request pool is used up, the sequential IO bandwidth crashes. This patch implements per-blkg request_list. Each blkg has its own request_list and any IO allocates its request from the matching blkg making blkcgs completely isolated in terms of request allocation. * Root blkcg uses the request_list embedded in each request_queue, which was renamed to @q->root_rl from @q->rq. While making blkcg rl handling a bit harier, this enables avoiding most overhead for root blkcg. * Queue fullness is properly per request_list but bdi isn't blkcg aware yet, so congestion state currently just follows the root blkcg. As writeback isn't aware of blkcg yet, this works okay for async congestion but readahead may get the wrong signals. It's better than blkcg completely collapsing with shared request_list but needs to be improved with future changes. * After this change, each block cgroup gets a full request pool making resource consumption of each cgroup higher. This makes allowing non-root users to create cgroups less desirable; however, note that allowing non-root users to directly manage cgroups is already severely broken regardless of this patch - each block cgroup consumes kernel memory and skews IO weight (IO weights are not hierarchical). v2: queue-sysfs.txt updated and patch description udpated as suggested by Vivek. v3: blk_get_rl() wasn't checking error return from blkg_lookup_create() and may cause oops on lookup failure. Fix it by falling back to root_rl on blkg lookup failures. This problem was spotted by Rakesh Iyer <rni@google.com>. v4: Updated to accomodate 458f27a982 "block: Avoid missed wakeup in request waitqueue". blk_drain_queue() now wakes up waiters on all blkg->rl on the target queue.

Request allocation is about to be made per-blkg meaning that there'll be multiple request lists. * Make queue full state per request_list. blk_*queue_full() functions are renamed to blk_*rl_full() and takes @rl instead of @q. * Rename blk_init_free_list() to blk_init_rl() and make it take @rl instead of @q. Also add @gfp_mask parameter. * Add blk_exit_rl() instead of destroying rl directly from blk_release_queue(). * Add request_list->q and make request alloc/free functions - blk_free_request(), [__]freed_request(), __get_request() - take @rl instead of @q.

Add q->nr_rqs[] which currently behaves the same as q->rq.count[] and move q->rq.elvpriv to q->nr_rqs_elvpriv. blk_drain_queue() is updated to use q->nr_rqs[] instead of q->rq.count[].

2012-06-25block: allocate io_context upfrontTejun Heo
Block layer very lazy allocation of ioc. It waits until the moment ioc is absolutely necessary; unfortunately, that time could be inside queue lock and __get_request() performs unlock - try alloc - retry dancing. Just allocate it up-front on entry to block layer. We're not saving the rain forest by deferring it to the last possible moment and complicating things unnecessarily. This patch is to prepare for further updates to request allocation path. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2012-06-25block: refactor get_request[_wait]()Tejun Heo
Currently, there are two request allocation functions - get_request() and get_request_wait(). The former tries to allocate a request once and the latter keeps retrying until it succeeds. The latter wraps the former and keeps retrying until allocation succeeds. The combination of two functions deliver fallible non-wait allocation, fallible wait allocation and unfailing wait allocation. However, given that forward progress is guaranteed, fallible wait allocation isn't all that useful and in fact nobody uses it. This patch simplifies the interface as follows. * get_request() is renamed to __get_request() and is only used by the wrapper function. * get_request_wait() is renamed to get_request(). It now takes @gfp_mask and retries iff it contains %__GFP_WAIT. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change and is to prepare for further updates to request allocation path.
