2017-10-04writeback: eliminate work item allocation in bd_start_writeback()Jens Axboe
Handle start-all writeback like we do periodic or kupdate style writeback - by marking the bdi_writeback as needing a full flush, and simply waking the thread. This eliminates the need to allocate and queue a specific work item just for this purpose. After this change, we truly only ever have one of them running at any point in time. We mark the need to start all flushes, and the writeback thread will clear it once it has processed the request. Reviewed-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2017-10-04blk-mq: document the need to have STARTED and COMPLETED share a byteJens Axboe
For memory ordering guarantees on stores, we need to ensure that these two bits share the same byte of storage in the unsigned long. Add a comment as to why, and a BUILD_BUG_ON() to ensure that we don't violate this requirement. Suggested-by: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2017-10-04blk-mq: attempt to fix atomic flag memory orderingPeter Zijlstra
Attempt to untangle the ordering in blk-mq. The patch introducing the single smp_mb__before_atomic() is obviously broken in that it doesn't clearly specify a pairing barrier and an obtained guarantee. The comment is further misleading in that it hints that the deadline store and the COMPLETE store also need to be ordered, but AFAICT there is no such dependency. However what does appear to be important is the clear happening _after_ the store, and that worked by pure accident. This clarifies blk_mq_start_request() -- we should not get there with STARTING set -- this simplifies the code and makes the barrier usage sane (the old code could be read to allow not having _any_ atomic after the barrier, in which case the barrier hasn't got anything to order). We then also introduce the missing pairing barrier for it. Also down-grade the barrier to smp_wmb(), this is cheaper for PowerPC/ARM and doesn't cost anything extra on x86. And it documents the STARTING vs COMPLETE ordering. Although I've not been entirely successful in reverse engineering the blk-mq state machine so there might still be more funnies around timeout vs requeue. If I got anything wrong, feel free to educate me by adding comments to clarify things ;-) Cc: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Cc: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Andrea Parri <parri.andrea@gmail.com> Cc: Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com> Cc: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@wdc.com> Cc: "Paul E.

2017-10-03block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exitPaolo Valente
If many queues belonging to the same group happen to be created shortly after each other, then the concurrent processes associated with these queues have typically a common goal, and they get it done as soon as possible if not hampered by device idling. Examples are processes spawned by git grep, or by systemd during boot. As for device idling, this mechanism is currently necessary for weight raising to succeed in its goal: privileging I/O. In view of these facts, BFQ does not provide the above queues with either weight raising or device idling. On the other hand, a burst of queue creations may be caused also by the start-up of a complex application. In this case, these queues need usually to be served one after the other, and as quickly as possible, to maximise responsiveness. Therefore, in this case the best strategy is to weight-raise all the queues created during the burst, i.e., the exact opposite of the strategy for the above case. To distinguish between the two cases, BFQ uses an empirical burst-size threshold, found through extensive tests and monitoring of daily usage. Only large bursts, i.e., burst with a size above this threshold, are considered as generated by a high number of parallel processes. In this respect, upstart-based boot proved to be rather hard to detect as generating a large burst of queue creations, because with upstart most of the queues created in a burst exit *before* the next queues in the same burst are created. To address this issue, I changed the burst-detection mechanism so as to not decrease the size of the current burst even if one of the queues in the burst is eliminated. Unfortunately, this missing decrease causes false positives on very fast systems: on the start-up of a complex application, such as libreoffice writer, so many queues are created, served and exited shortly after each other, that a large burst of queue creations is wrongly detected as occurring. These false positives just disappear if the size of a burst is decreased when one of the queues in the burst exits. This commit restores the missing burst-size decrease, relying of the fact that upstart is apparently unlikely to be used on systems running this and future versions of the kernel.

2017-10-03block, bfq: let early-merged queues be weight-raised on split tooPaolo Valente
A just-created bfq_queue, say Q, may happen to be merged with another bfq_queue on the very first invocation of the function __bfq_insert_request. In such a case, even if Q would clearly deserve interactive weight raising (as it has just been created), the function bfq_add_request does not make it to be invoked for Q, and thus to activate weight raising for Q. As a consequence, when the state of Q is saved for a possible future restore, after a split of Q from the other bfq_queue(s), such a state happens to be (unjustly) non-weight-raised. Then the bfq_queue will not enjoy any weight raising on the split, even if should still be in an interactive weight-raising period when the split occurs. This commit solves this problem as follows, for a just-created bfq_queue that is being early-merged: it stores directly, in the saved state of the bfq_queue, the weight-raising state that would have been assigned to the bfq_queue if not early-merged.

2017-10-03block, bfq: check and switch back to interactive wr also on queue splitPaolo Valente
As already explained in the message of commit "block, bfq: fix wrong init of saved start time for weight raising", if a soft real-time weight-raising period happens to be nested in a larger interactive weight-raising period, then BFQ restores the interactive weight raising at the end of the soft real-time weight raising. In particular, BFQ checks whether the latter has ended only on request dispatches. Unfortunately, the above scheme fails to restore interactive weight raising in the following corner case: if a bfq_queue, say Q, 1) Is merged with another bfq_queue while it is in a nested soft real-time weight-raising period. The weight-raising state of Q is then saved, and not considered any longer until a split occurs. 2) Is split from the other bfq_queue(s) at a time instant when its soft real-time weight raising is already finished. On the split, while resuming the previous, soft real-time weight-raised state of the bfq_queue Q, BFQ checks whether the current soft real-time weight-raising period is actually over. If so, BFQ switches weight raising off for Q, *without* checking whether the soft real-time period was actually nested in a non-yet-finished interactive weight-raising period. This commit addresses this issue by adding the above missing check in bfq_queue splits, and restoring interactive weight raising if needed.

2017-10-03block, bfq: fix wrong init of saved start time for weight raisingPaolo Valente
This commit fixes a bug that causes bfq to fail to guarantee a high responsiveness on some drives, if there is heavy random read+write I/O in the background. More precisely, such a failure allowed this bug to be found [1], but the bug may well cause other yet unreported anomalies. BFQ raises the weight of the bfq_queues associated with soft real-time applications, to privilege the I/O, and thus reduce latency, for these applications. This mechanism is named soft-real-time weight raising in BFQ. A soft real-time period may happen to be nested into an interactive weight raising period, i.e., it may happen that, when a bfq_queue switches to a soft real-time weight-raised state, the bfq_queue is already being weight-raised because deemed interactive too. In this case, BFQ saves in a special variable wr_start_at_switch_to_srt, the time instant when the interactive weight-raising period started for the bfq_queue, i.e., the time instant when BFQ started to deem the bfq_queue interactive. This value is then used to check whether the interactive weight-raising period would still be in progress when the soft real-time weight-raising period ends. If so, interactive weight raising is restored for the bfq_queue. This restore is useful, in particular, because it prevents bfq_queues from losing their interactive weight raising prematurely, as a consequence of spurious, short-lived soft real-time weight-raising periods caused by wrong detections as soft real-time. If, instead, a bfq_queue switches to soft-real-time weight raising while it *is not* already in an interactive weight-raising period, then the variable wr_start_at_switch_to_srt has no meaning during the following soft real-time weight-raising period. Unfortunately the handling of this case is wrong in BFQ: not only the variable is not flagged somehow as meaningless, but it is also set to the time when the switch to soft real-time weight-raising occurs. This may cause an interactive weight-raising period to be considered mistakenly as still in progress, and thus a spurious interactive weight-raising period to start for the bfq_queue, at the end of the soft-real-time weight-raising period. In particular the spurious interactive weight-raising period will be considered as still in progress, if the soft-real-time weight-raising period does not last very long. The bfq_queue will then be wrongly privileged and, if I/O bound, will unjustly steal bandwidth to truly interactive or soft real-time bfq_queues, harming responsiveness and low latency. This commit fixes this issue by just setting wr_start_at_switch_to_srt to minus infinity (farthest past time instant according to jiffies macros): when the soft-real-time weight-raising period ends, certainly no interactive weight-raising period will be considered as still in progress.

2017-10-03writeback: only allow one inflight and pending full flushJens Axboe
When someone calls wakeup_flusher_threads() or wakeup_flusher_threads_bdi(), they schedule writeback of all dirty pages in the system (or on that bdi). If we are tight on memory, we can get tons of these queued from kswapd/vmscan. This causes (at least) two problems: 1) We consume a ton of memory just allocating writeback work items. We've seen as much as 600 million of these writeback work items pending. That's a lot of memory to pointlessly hold hostage, while the box is under memory pressure. 2) We spend so much time processing these work items, that we introduce a softlockup in writeback processing. This is because each of the writeback work items don't end up doing any work (it's hard when you have millions of identical ones coming in to the flush machinery), so we just sit in a tight loop pulling work items and deleting/freeing them. Fix this by adding a 'start_all' bit to the writeback structure, and set that when someone attempts to flush all dirty pages. The bit is cleared when we start writeback on that work item. If the bit is already set when we attempt to queue !nr_pages writeback, then we simply ignore it. This provides us one full flush in flight, with one pending as well, and makes for more efficient handling of this type of writeback.

2017-09-26block/loop: make loop cgroup awareShaohua Li
loop block device handles IO in a separate thread. The actual IO dispatched isn't cloned from the IO loop device received, so the dispatched IO loses the cgroup context. I'm ignoring buffer IO case now, which is quite complicated. Making the loop thread aware cgroup context doesn't really help. The loop device only writes to a single file. In current writeback cgroup implementation, the file can only belong to one cgroup. For direct IO case, we could workaround the issue in theory. For example, say we assign cgroup1 5M/s BW for loop device and cgroup2 10M/s. We can create a special cgroup for loop thread and assign at least 15M/s for the underlayer disk. In this way, we correctly throttle the two cgroups. But this is tricky to setup. This patch tries to address the issue. We record bio's css in loop command. When loop thread is handling the command, we then use the API provided in patch 1 to set the css for current task. The bio layer will use the css for new IO (from patch 3).

2017-09-25nvme-rdma: don't fully stop the controller in error recoverySagi Grimberg
By calling nvme_stop_ctrl on a already failed controller will wait for the scan work to complete (only by identify timeout expiration which is 60 seconds). This is unnecessary when we already know that the controller has failed.

2017-09-25nvme: fix sqhd reference when admin queue connect failsJames Smart
Fix bug in sqhd patch. It wasn't the sq that was at risk. In the case where the admin queue connect command fails, the sq->size field is not set. Therefore, this becomes a divide by zero error. Add a quick check to bypass under this failure condition.

2017-09-25fs: Fix page cache inconsistency when mixing buffered and AIO DIOLukas Czerner
Currently when mixing buffered reads and asynchronous direct writes it is possible to end up with the situation where we have stale data in the page cache while the new data is already written to disk. This is permanent until the affected pages are flushed away. Despite the fact that mixing buffered and direct IO is ill-advised it does pose a thread for a data integrity, is unexpected and should be fixed. Fix this by deferring completion of asynchronous direct writes to a process context in the case that there are mapped pages to be found in the inode. Later before the completion in dio_complete() invalidate the pages in question. This ensures that after the completion the pages in the written area are either unmapped, or populated with up-to-date data. Also do the same for the iomap case which uses iomap_dio_complete() instead. This has a side effect of deferring the completion to a process context for every AIO DIO that happens on inode that has pages mapped. However since the consensus is that this is ill-advised practice the performance implication should not be a problem. This was based on proposal from Jeff Moyer, thanks!

2017-09-25nvmet: implement valid sqhd values in completionsJames Smart
To support sqhd, for initiators that are following the spec and paying attention to sqhd vs their sqtail values: - add sqhd to struct nvmet_sq - initialize sqhd to 0 in nvmet_sq_setup - rather than propagate the 0's-based qsize value from the connect message which requires a +1 in every sqhd update, and as nothing else references it, convert to 1's-based value in nvmt_sq/cq_setup() calls. - validate connect message sqsize being non-zero per spec. - updated assign sqhd for every completion that goes back. Also remove handling the NULL sq case in __nvmet_req_complete, as it can't happen with the current code.

2017-09-25nvme: allow timed-out ios to retryJames Smart
Currently the nvme_req_needs_retry() applies several checks to see if a retry is allowed. On of those is whether the current time has exceeded the start time of the io plus the timeout length. This check, if an io times out, means there is never a retry allowed for the io. Which means applications see the io failure. Remove this check and allow the io to timeout, like it does on other protocols, and retries to be made. On the FC transport, a frame can be lost for an individual io, and there may be no other errors that escalate for the connection/association. The io will timeout, which causes the transport to escalate into creating a new association, but the io that timed out, due to this retry logic, has already failed back to the application and things are hosed.

2017-09-25nvme: stop aer posting if controller state not liveJames Smart
If an nvme async_event command completes, in most cases, a new async event is posted. However, if the controller enters a resetting or reconnecting state, there is nothing to block the scheduled work element from posting the async event again. Nor are there calls from the transport to stop async events when an association dies. In the case of FC, where the association is torn down, the aer must be aborted on the FC link and completes through the normal job completion path. Thus the terminated async event ends up being rescheduled even though the controller isn't in a valid state for the aer, and the reposting gets the transport into a partially torn down data structure. It's possible to hit the scenario on rdma, although much less likely due to an aer completing right as the association is terminated and as the association teardown reclaims the blk requests via nvme_cancel_request() so its immediate, not a link-related action like on FC. Fix by putting controller state checks in both the async event completion routine where it schedules the async event and in the async event work routine before it calls into the transport. It's effectively a "stop_async_events()" behavior. The transport, when it creates a new association with the subsystem will transition the state back to live and is already restarting the async event posting.
