2017-04-19block, bfq: improve responsivenessPaolo Valente
This patch introduces a simple heuristic to load applications quickly, and to perform the I/O requested by interactive applications just as quickly. To this purpose, both a newly-created queue and a queue associated with an interactive application (we explain in a moment how BFQ decides whether the associated application is interactive), receive the following two special treatments: 1) The weight of the queue is raised. 2) The queue unconditionally enjoys device idling when it empties; in fact, if the requests of a queue are sync, then performing device idling for the queue is a necessary condition to guarantee that the queue receives a fraction of the throughput proportional to its weight (see [1] for details). For brevity, we call just weight-raising the combination of these two preferential treatments. For a newly-created queue, weight-raising starts immediately and lasts for a time interval that: 1) depends on the device speed and type (rotational or non-rotational), and 2) is equal to the time needed to load (start up) a large-size application on that device, with cold caches and with no additional workload. Finally, as for guaranteeing a fast execution to interactive, I/O-related tasks (such as opening a file), consider that any interactive application blocks and waits for user input both after starting up and after executing some task. After a while, the user may trigger new operations, after which the application stops again, and so on. Accordingly, the low-latency heuristic weight-raises again a queue in case it becomes backlogged after being idle for a sufficiently long (configurable) time. The weight-raising then lasts for the same time as for a just-created queue. According to our experiments, the combination of this low-latency heuristic and of the improvements described in the previous patch allows BFQ to guarantee a high application responsiveness. [1] P.

2017-04-19block, bfq: add full hierarchical scheduling and cgroups supportArianna Avanzini
Add complete support for full hierarchical scheduling, with a cgroups interface. Full hierarchical scheduling is implemented through the 'entity' abstraction: both bfq_queues, i.e., the internal BFQ queues associated with processes, and groups are represented in general by entities. Given the bfq_queues associated with the processes belonging to a given group, the entities representing these queues are sons of the entity representing the group. At higher levels, if a group, say G, contains other groups, then the entity representing G is the parent entity of the entities representing the groups in G. Hierarchical scheduling is performed as follows: if the timestamps of a leaf entity (i.e., of a bfq_queue) change, and such a change lets the entity become the next-to-serve entity for its parent entity, then the timestamps of the parent entity are recomputed as a function of the budget of its new next-to-serve leaf entity. If the parent entity belongs, in its turn, to a group, and its new timestamps let it become the next-to-serve for its parent entity, then the timestamps of the latter parent entity are recomputed as well, and so on. When a new bfq_queue must be set in service, the reverse path is followed: the next-to-serve highest-level entity is chosen, then its next-to-serve child entity, and so on, until the next-to-serve leaf entity is reached, and the bfq_queue that this entity represents is set in service. Writeback is accounted for on a per-group basis, i.e., for each group, the async I/O requests of the processes of the group are enqueued in a distinct bfq_queue, and the entity associated with this queue is a child of the entity associated with the group. Weights can be assigned explicitly to groups and processes through the cgroups interface, differently from what happens, for single processes, if the cgroups interface is not used (as explained in the description of the previous patch). In particular, since each node has a full scheduler, each group can be assigned its own weight.

2017-04-19block, bfq: introduce the BFQ-v0 I/O scheduler as an extra schedulerPaolo Valente
We tag as v0 the version of BFQ containing only BFQ's engine plus hierarchical support. BFQ's engine is introduced by this commit, while hierarchical support is added by next commit. We use the v0 tag to distinguish this minimal version of BFQ from the versions containing also the features and the improvements added by next commits. BFQ-v0 coincides with the version of BFQ submitted a few years ago [1], apart from the introduction of preemption, described below. BFQ is a proportional-share I/O scheduler, whose general structure, plus a lot of code, are borrowed from CFQ. - Each process doing I/O on a device is associated with a weight and a (bfq_)queue. - BFQ grants exclusive access to the device, for a while, to one queue (process) at a time, and implements this service model by associating every queue with a budget, measured in number of sectors. - After a queue is granted access to the device, the budget of the queue is decremented, on each request dispatch, by the size of the request. - The in-service queue is expired, i.e., its service is suspended, only if one of the following events occurs: 1) the queue finishes its budget, 2) the queue empties, 3) a "budget timeout" fires. - The budget timeout prevents processes doing random I/O from holding the device for too long and dramatically reducing throughput. - Actually, as in CFQ, a queue associated with a process issuing sync requests may not be expired immediately when it empties. In contrast, BFQ may idle the device for a short time interval, giving the process the chance to go on being served if it issues a new request in time. Device idling typically boosts the throughput on rotational devices, if processes do synchronous and sequential I/O. In addition, under BFQ, device idling is also instrumental in guaranteeing the desired throughput fraction to processes issuing sync requests (see [2] for details). - With respect to idling for service guarantees, if several processes are competing for the device at the same time, but all processes (and groups, after the following commit) have the same weight, then BFQ guarantees the expected throughput distribution without ever idling the device. Throughput is thus as high as possible in this common scenario. - Queues are scheduled according to a variant of WF2Q+, named B-WF2Q+, and implemented using an augmented rb-tree to preserve an O(log N) overall complexity. See [2] for more details. B-WF2Q+ is also ready for hierarchical scheduling. However, for a cleaner logical breakdown, the code that enables and completes hierarchical support is provided in the next commit, which focuses exactly on this feature. - B-WF2Q+ guarantees a tight deviation with respect to an ideal, perfectly fair, and smooth service. In particular, B-WF2Q+ guarantees that each queue receives a fraction of the device throughput proportional to its weight, even if the throughput fluctuates, and regardless of: the device parameters, the current workload and the budgets assigned to the queue. - The last, budget-independence, property (although probably counterintuitive in the first place) is definitely beneficial, for the following reasons: - First, with any proportional-share scheduler, the maximum deviation with respect to an ideal service is proportional to the maximum budget (slice) assigned to queues. As a consequence, BFQ can keep this deviation tight not only because of the accurate service of B-WF2Q+, but also because BFQ *does not* need to assign a larger budget to a queue to let the queue receive a higher fraction of the device throughput. - Second, BFQ is free to choose, for every process (queue), the budget that best fits the needs of the process, or best leverages the I/O pattern of the process. In particular, BFQ updates queue budgets with a simple feedback-loop algorithm that allows a high throughput to be achieved, while still providing tight latency guarantees to time-sensitive applications. When the in-service queue expires, this algorithm computes the next budget of the queue so as to: - Let large budgets be eventually assigned to the queues associated with I/O-bound applications performing sequential I/O: in fact, the longer these applications are served once got access to the device, the higher the throughput is. - Let small budgets be eventually assigned to the queues associated with time-sensitive applications (which typically perform sporadic and short I/O), because, the smaller the budget assigned to a queue waiting for service is, the sooner B-WF2Q+ will serve that queue (Subsec 3.3 in [2]). - Weights can be assigned to processes only indirectly, through I/O priorities, and according to the relation: weight = 10 * (IOPRIO_BE_NR - ioprio). The next patch provides, instead, a cgroups interface through which weights can be assigned explicitly. - If several processes are competing for the device at the same time, but all processes and groups have the same weight, then BFQ guarantees the expected throughput distribution without ever idling the device. It uses preemption instead. Throughput is then much higher in this common scenario. - ioprio classes are served in strict priority order, i.e., lower-priority queues are not served as long as there are higher-priority queues. Among queues in the same class, the bandwidth is distributed in proportion to the weight of each queue. A very thin extra bandwidth is however guaranteed to the Idle class, to prevent it from starving. - If the strict_guarantees parameter is set (default: unset), then BFQ - always performs idling when the in-service queue becomes empty; - forces the device to serve one I/O request at a time, by dispatching a new request only if there is no outstanding request. In the presence of differentiated weights or I/O-request sizes, both the above conditions are needed to guarantee that every queue receives its allotted share of the bandwidth (see Documentation/block/bfq-iosched.txt for more details). Setting strict_guarantees may evidently affect throughput. [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/1/234 https://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/11/148 [2] P. Valente and M.

2017-04-16lightnvm: physical block device (pblk) targetJavier González
This patch introduces pblk, a host-side translation layer for Open-Channel SSDs to expose them like block devices. The translation layer allows data placement decisions, and I/O scheduling to be managed by the host, enabling users to optimize the SSD for their specific workloads. An open-channel SSD has a set of LUNs (parallel units) and a collection of blocks. Each block can be read in any order, but writes must be sequential. Writes may also fail, and if a block requires it, must also be reset before new writes can be applied. To manage the constraints, pblk maintains a logical to physical address (L2P) table, write cache, garbage collection logic, recovery scheme, and logic to rate-limit user I/Os versus garbage collection I/Os. The L2P table is fully-associative and manages sectors at a 4KB granularity. Pblk stores the L2P table in two places, in the out-of-band area of the media and on the last page of a line. In the cause of a power failure, pblk will perform a scan to recover the L2P table. The user data is organized into lines. A line is data striped across blocks and LUNs. The lines enable the host to reduce the amount of metadata to maintain besides the user data and makes it easier to implement RAID or erasure coding in the future. pblk implements multi-tenant support and can be instantiated multiple times on the same drive. Each instance owns a portion of the SSD - both regarding I/O bandwidth and capacity - providing I/O isolation for each case. Finally, pblk also exposes a sysfs interface that allows user-space to peek into the internals of pblk. The interface is available at /dev/block/*/pblk/ where * is the block device name exposed.

2017-04-14blk-mq: introduce Kyber multiqueue I/O schedulerOmar Sandoval
The Kyber I/O scheduler is an I/O scheduler for fast devices designed to scale to multiple queues. Users configure only two knobs, the target read and synchronous write latencies, and the scheduler tunes itself to achieve that latency goal. The implementation is based on "tokens", built on top of the scalable bitmap library. Tokens serve as a mechanism for limiting requests. There are two tiers of tokens: queueing tokens and dispatch tokens. A queueing token is required to allocate a request. In fact, these tokens are actually the blk-mq internal scheduler tags, but the scheduler manages the allocation directly in order to implement its policy. Dispatch tokens are device-wide and split up into two scheduling domains: reads vs. writes. Each hardware queue dispatches batches round-robin between the scheduling domains as long as tokens are available for that domain. These tokens can be used as the mechanism to enable various policies. The policy Kyber uses is inspired by active queue management techniques for network routing, similar to blk-wbt. The scheduler monitors latencies and scales the number of dispatch tokens accordingly. Queueing tokens are used to prevent starvation of synchronous requests by asynchronous requests. Various extensions are possible, including better heuristics and ionice support. The new scheduler isn't set as the default yet.

2017-03-28blk-throttle: make throtl_slice tunableShaohua Li
throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. It's called slice internally but it really is a time window blk-throttling samples data. blk-throttling will make decision based on the samplings. An example is bandwidth measurement. A cgroup's bandwidth is measured in the time interval of throtl_slice. A small throtl_slice meanse cgroups have smoother throughput but burn more CPUs. It has 100ms default value, which is not appropriate for all disks. A fast SSD can dispatch a lot of IOs in 100ms. This patch makes it tunable. Since throtl_slice isn't a time slice, the sysfs name 'throttle_sample_time' reflects its character better. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2017-03-09userfaultfd: non-cooperative: rollback userfaultfd_exitAndrea Arcangeli
Patch series "userfaultfd non-cooperative further update for 4.11 merge window". Unfortunately I noticed one relevant bug in userfaultfd_exit while doing more testing. I've been doing testing before and this was also tested by kbuild bot and exercised by the selftest, but this bug never reproduced before. I dropped userfaultfd_exit as result. I dropped it because of implementation difficulty in receiving signals in __mmput and because I think -ENOSPC as result from the background UFFDIO_COPY should be enough already. Before I decided to remove userfaultfd_exit, I noticed userfaultfd_exit wasn't exercised by the selftest and when I tried to exercise it, after moving it to a more correct place in __mmput where it would make more sense and where the vma list is stable, it resulted in the event_wait_completion in D state. So then I added the second patch to be sure even if we call userfaultfd_event_wait_completion too late during task exit(), we won't risk to generate tasks in D state. The same check exists in handle_userfault() for the same reason, except it makes a difference there, while here is just a robustness check and it's run under WARN_ON_ONCE. While looking at the userfaultfd_event_wait_completion() function I looked back at its callers too while at it and I think it's not ok to stop executing dup_fctx on the fcs list because we relay on userfaultfd_event_wait_completion to execute userfaultfd_ctx_put(fctx->orig) which is paired against userfaultfd_ctx_get(fctx->orig) in dup_userfault just before list_add(fcs). This change only takes care of fctx->orig but this area also needs further review looking for similar problems in fctx->new. The only patch that is urgent is the first because it's an use after free during a SMP race condition that affects all processes if CONFIG_USERFAULTFD=y. Very hard to reproduce though and probably impossible without SLUB poisoning enabled. This patch (of 3): I once reproduced this oops with the userfaultfd selftest, it's not easily reproducible and it requires SLUB poisoning to reproduce. general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 2 PID: 18421 Comm: userfaultfd Tainted: G ------------ T 3.10.0+ #15 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.10.1-0-g8891697-prebuilt.qemu-project.org 04/01/2014 task: ffff8801f83b9440 ti: ffff8801f833c000 task.ti: ffff8801f833c000 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81451299>] [<ffffffff81451299>] userfaultfd_exit+0x29/0xa0 RSP: 0018:ffff8801f833fe80 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: ffff8801f833ffd8 RBX: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RCX: ffff8801f83b9440 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff8800baf18600 RBP: ffff8801f833fee8 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000001 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: ffffffff8127ceb3 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffff8800baf186b0 R14: ffff8801f83b99f8 R15: 00007faed746c700 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88023fc80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00007faf0966f028 CR3: 0000000001bc6000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: do_exit+0x297/0xd10 SyS_exit+0x17/0x20 tracesys+0xdd/0xe2 Code: 00 00 66 66 66 66 90 55 48 89 e5 41 54 53 48 83 ec 58 48 8b 1f 48 85 db 75 11 eb 73 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 48 8b 5b 10 48 85 db 74 64 <4c> 8b a3 b8 00 00 00 4d 85 e4 74 eb 41 f6 84 24 2c 01 00 00 80 RIP [<ffffffff81451299>] userfaultfd_exit+0x29/0xa0 RSP <ffff8801f833fe80> ---[ end trace 9fecd6dcb442846a ]--- In the debugger I located the "mm" pointer in the stack and walking mm->mmap->vm_next through the end shows the vma->vm_next list is fully consistent and it is null terminated list as expected. So this has to be an SMP race condition where userfaultfd_exit was running while the vma list was being modified by another CPU. When userfaultfd_exit() run one of the ->vm_next pointers pointed to SLAB_POISON (RBX is the vma pointer and is 0x6b6b..). The reason is that it's not running in __mmput but while there are still other threads running and it's not holding the mmap_sem (it can't as it has to wait the even to be received by the manager). So this is an use after free that was happening for all processes. One more implementation problem aside from the race condition: userfaultfd_exit has really to check a flag in mm->flags before walking the vma or it's going to slowdown the exit() path for regular tasks. One more implementation problem: at that point signals can't be delivered so it would also create a task in D state if the manager doesn't read the event. The major design issue: it overall looks superfluous as the manager can check for -ENOSPC in the background transfer: if (mmget_not_zero(ctx->mm)) { [..] } else { return -ENOSPC; } It's safer to roll it back and re-introduce it later if at all.

Adding an alignment in the module linker script appeared to be the best solution. - Jump labels also added an anonymous union to access those LSB bits as a normal long. But because this structure had static initialization, it broke older compilers that could not statically initialize anonymous unions without brackets. - The command line parameter for setting function graph filter broke the "EMPTY_HASH" descriptor by modifying it instead of creating a new hash to hold the entries. - The command line parameter ftrace_graph_max_depth was added to allow its setting at boot time. It uses existing code and only the command line hook was added. This is not really a fix, but as it uses existing code without affecting anything else, I added it to this release.

2017-03-07irqchip/gicv3-its: Add workaround for QDF2400 ITS erratum 0065Shanker Donthineni
On Qualcomm Datacenter Technologies QDF2400 SoCs, the ITS hardware implementation uses 16Bytes for Interrupt Translation Entry (ITE), but reports an incorrect value of 8Bytes in GITS_TYPER.ITTE_size. It might cause kernel memory corruption depending on the number of MSI(x) that are configured and the amount of memory that has been allocated for ITEs in its_create_device(). This patch fixes the potential memory corruption by setting the correct ITE size to 16Bytes.

This is analogous to the existing "cpuidle.off=1" option and CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y This capability is valuable when we need to debug end-user issues in the BIOS or in Linux. It is also convenient for enabling comparisons, which may otherwise require a new kernel, or help from BIOS SETUP, which may be buggy or unavailable.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm/arm-soc Pull ARM SoC late DT updates from Arnd Bergmann: "These updates have been kept in a separate branch mostly because they rely on updates to the respective clk drivers to keep the shared header files in sync.
