Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Most attention this cycle went to optimizing blk-mq request-based DM
(dm-mq) that is used exclussively by DM multipath:
- A stable fix for dm-mq that eliminates excessive context
switching offers the biggest performance improvement (for both
IOPs and throughput).
- But more work is needed, during the next cycle, to reduce
spinlock contention in DM multipath on large NUMA systems.
- A stable fix for a NULL pointer seen when DM stats is enabled on a DM
multipath device that must requeue an IO due to path failure.
- A stable fix for DM snapshot to disallow the COW and origin devices
from being identical. This amounts to graceful failure in the face
of userspace error because these devices shouldn't ever be identical.
- Stable fixes for DM cache and DM thin provisioning to address crashes
seen if/when their respective metadata device experiences failures
that cause the transition to 'fail_io' mode.
- The DM cache 'mq' policy is now an alias for the 'smq' policy. The
'smq' policy proved to be consistently better than 'mq'. As such
'mq', with all its complex user-facing tunables, has been eliminated.
- Improve DM thin provisioning to consistently return -ENOSPC once the
thin-pool's data volume is out of space.
- Improve DM core to properly handle error propagation if
bio_integrity_clone() fails in clone_bio().
- Other small cleanups and improvements to DM core.

This patch has been carried in the Android tree for quite some time and
is one of the few patches required to get a mainline kernel up and
running with an exsiting Android userspace. So I wanted to submit it
for review and consideration if it should be merged.
For partitions, add new uevent parameters 'PARTN' which specifies the
partitions index in the table, and 'PARTNAME', which specifies PARTNAME
specifices the partition name of a partition device.
Android's userspace uses this for creating device node links from the
partition name and number, ie:
/dev/block/platform/soc/by-name/system
or
/dev/block/platform/soc/by-num/p1
One can see its usage here:

and

This patch adds support for larger requests in blk_rq_map_user_iov by
allowing it to build multiple bios for a request. This functionality
used to exist for the non-vectored blk_rq_map_user in the past, and
this patch reuses the existing functionality for it on the unmap side,
which stuck around. Thanks to the iov_iter API supporting multiple
bios is fairly trivial, as we can just iterate the iov until we've
consumed the whole iov_iter.

Request-based DM's blk-mq support (dm-mq) was reported to be 50% slower
than if an underlying null_blk device were used directly. One of the
reasons for this drop in performance is that blk_insert_clone_request()
was calling blk_mq_insert_request() with @async=true. This forced the
use of kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on() to run the blk-mq hw queues
which ushered in ping-ponging between process context (fio in this case)
and kblockd's kworker to submit the cloned request. The ftrace
function_graph tracer showed:
kworker-2013 => fio-12190
fio-12190 => kworker-2013
...
kworker-2013 => fio-12190
fio-12190 => kworker-2013
...
Fixing blk_insert_clone_request()'s blk_mq_insert_request() call to
_not_ use kblockd to submit the cloned requests isn't enough to
eliminate the observed context switches.
In addition to this dm-mq specific blk-core fix, there are 2 DM core
fixes to dm-mq that (when paired with the blk-core fix) completely
eliminate the observed context switching:
1) don't blk_mq_run_hw_queues in blk-mq request completion
Motivated by desire to reduce overhead of dm-mq, punting to kblockd
just increases context switches.
In my testing against a really fast null_blk device there was no benefit
to running blk_mq_run_hw_queues() on completion (and no other blk-mq
driver does this). So hopefully this change doesn't induce the need for
yet another revert like commit 621739b00e16ca2d !
2) use blk_mq_complete_request() in dm_complete_request()
blk_complete_request() doesn't offer the traditional q->mq_ops vs
.request_fn branching pattern that other historic block interfaces
do (e.g. blk_get_request). Using blk_mq_complete_request() for
blk-mq requests is important for performance. It should be noted
that, like blk_complete_request(), blk_mq_complete_request() doesn't
natively handle partial completions -- but the request-based
DM-multipath target does provide the required partial completion
support by dm.c:end_clone_bio() triggering requeueing of the request
via dm-mpath.c:multipath_end_io()'s return of DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE.
dm-mq fix #2 is _much_ more important than #1 for eliminating the
context switches.
Before: cpu : usr=15.10%, sys=59.39%, ctx=7905181, majf=0, minf=475
After: cpu : usr=20.60%, sys=79.35%, ctx=2008, majf=0, minf=472
With these changes multithreaded async read IOPs improved from ~950K
to ~1350K for this dm-mq stacked on null_blk test-case. The raw read
IOPs of the underlying null_blk device for the same workload is ~1950K.

Currently q->mq_ops is used widely to decide if the queue
is mq or not, so we should set the 'flag' asap so that both
block core and drivers can get the correct mq info.
For example, commit 868f2f0b720(blk-mq: dynamic h/w context count)
moves the hctx's initialization before setting q->mq_ops in
blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(), then cause blk_alloc_flush_queue()
to think the queue is non-mq and don't allocate command size
for the per-hctx flush rq.
This patches should fix the problem reported by Sasha.

Commit 35dc248383bbab0a7203fca4d722875bc81ef091 introduced a check for
current->mm to see if we have a user space context and only copies data
if we do. Now if an IO gets interrupted by a signal data isn't copied
into user space any more (as we don't have a user space context) but
user space isn't notified about it.
This patch modifies the behaviour to return -EINTR from bio_uncopy_user()
to notify userland that a signal has interrupted the syscall, otherwise
it could lead to a situation where the caller may get a buffer with
no data returned.
This can be reproduced by issuing SG_IO ioctl()s in one thread while
constantly sending signals to it.

The hardware's provided queue count may change at runtime with resource
provisioning. This patch allows a block driver to alter the number of
h/w queues available when its resource count changes.
The main part is a new blk-mq API to request a new number of h/w queues
for a given live tag set. The new API freezes all queues using that set,
then adjusts the allocated count prior to remapping these to CPUs.
The bulk of the rest just shifts where h/w contexts and all their
artifacts are allocated and freed.
The number of max h/w contexts is capped to the number of possible cpus
since there is no use for more than that. As such, all pre-allocated
memory for pointers need to account for the max possible rather than
the initial number of queues.
A side effect of this is that the blk-mq will proceed successfully as
long as it can allocate at least one h/w context. Previously it would
fail request queue initialization if less than the requested number
was allocated.

get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they
increase the reference on the disk owner module.
The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and
to put it:
disk = get_gendisk(...);
/* use disk */
owner = disk->fops->owner;
put_disk(disk);
module_put(owner);
fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e.
blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put
a module reference. To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config
can be used. In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0
(actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device):
# lsmod | grep brd
brd 5175 0
# i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" > \
/sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \
done
# lsmod | grep brd
brd 5175 100
Now brd module has 100 references.
The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().

When a storage device rejects a WRITE SAME command we will disable write
same functionality for the device and return -EREMOTEIO to the block
layer. -EREMOTEIO will in turn prevent DM from retrying the I/O and/or
failing the path.
Yiwen Jiang discovered a small race where WRITE SAME requests issued
simultaneously would cause -EIO to be returned. This happened because
any requests being prepared after WRITE SAME had been disabled for the
device caused us to return BLKPREP_KILL. The latter caused the block
layer to return -EIO upon completion.
To overcome this we introduce BLKPREP_INVALID which indicates that this
is an invalid request for the device. blk_peek_request() is modified to
return -EREMOTEIO in that case.

Currently we don't allow sync workload of one cgroup to preempt sync
workload of any other cgroup. This is because we want to achieve service
separation between cgroups. However in cases where cgroup preempting is
ancestor of the current cgroup, there is no need of separation and
idling introduces unnecessary overhead. This hurts for example the case
when workload is isolated within a cgroup but journalling threads are in
root cgroup. Simple way to demostrate the issue is using:
dbench4 -c /usr/share/dbench4/client.txt -t 10 -D /mnt 1
on ext4 filesystem on plain SATA drive (mounted with barrier=0 to make
difference more visible). When all processes are in the root cgroup,
reported throughput is 153.132 MB/sec. When dbench process gets its own
blkio cgroup, reported throughput drops to 26.1006 MB/sec.
Fix the problem by making check in cfq_should_preempt() more benevolent
and allow preemption by ancestor cgroup. This improves the throughput
reported by dbench4 to 48.9106 MB/sec.

The original idea with preemption of sync noidle queues (introduced in
commit 718eee0579b8 "cfq-iosched: fairness for sync no-idle queues") was
that we service all sync noidle queues together, we don't idle on any of
the queues individually and we idle only if there is no sync noidle
queue to be served. This intention also matches the original test:
if (cfqd->serving_type == SYNC_NOIDLE_WORKLOAD
&& new_cfqq->service_tree == cfqq->service_tree)
return true;
However since at that time cfqq->service_tree was not set for idling
queues, this test was unreliable and was replaced in commit e4a229196a7c
"cfq-iosched: fix no-idle preemption logic" by:
if (cfqd->serving_type == SYNC_NOIDLE_WORKLOAD &&
cfqq_type(new_cfqq) == SYNC_NOIDLE_WORKLOAD &&
new_cfqq->service_tree->count == 1)
return true;
That was a reliable test but was actually doing something different -
now we preempt sync noidle queue only if the new queue is the only one
busy in the service tree.
These days cfq queue is kept in service tree even if it is idling and
thus the original check would be safe again. But since we actually check
that cfq queues are in the same cgroup, of the same priority class and
workload type (sync noidle), we know that new_cfqq is fine to preempt
cfqq. So just remove the service tree check.

Avoid populating pagecache when the block device is in DAX mode.
Otherwise these page cache entries collide with the fsync/msync
implementation and break data durability guarantees.

Dynamically enabling DAX requires that the page cache first be flushed
and invalidated. This must occur atomically with the change of DAX mode
otherwise we confuse the fsync/msync tracking and violate data
durability guarantees. Eliminate the possibilty of DAX-disabled to
DAX-enabled transitions for now and revisit this for the next cycle.

After commit e36f62042880(block: split bios to maxpossible length),
bio can be splitted in the middle of a vector entry, then it
is easy to split out one bio which size isn't aligned with block
size, especially when the block size is bigger than 512.
This patch fixes the issue by making the max io size aligned
to logical block size.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this has appeared in -next and independently received a
build success notification from the kbuild robot. The 'for-4.5/block-
dax' topic branch was rebased over the weekend to drop the "block
device end-of-life" rework that Al would like to see re-implemented
with a notifier, and to address bug reports against the badblocks
integration.
There is pending feedback against "libnvdimm: Add a poison list and
export badblocks" received last week. Linda identified some localized
fixups that we will handle incrementally.
Summary:
- Media error handling: The 'badblocks' implementation that
originated in md-raid is up-levelled to a generic capability of a
block device. This initial implementation is limited to being
consulted in the pmem block-i/o path. Later, 'badblocks' will be
consulted when creating dax mappings.
- Raw block device dax: For virtualization and other cases that want
large contiguous mappings of persistent memory, add the capability
to dax-mmap a block device directly.
- Increased /dev/mem restrictions: Add an option to treat all
io-memory as IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE, i.e. disable /dev/mem access
while a driver is actively using an address range. This behavior
is controlled via the new CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM option and can be
overridden by the existing "iomem=relaxed" kernel command line
option.
- Miscellaneous fixes include a 'pfn'-device huge page alignment fix,
block device shutdown crash fix, and other small libnvdimm fixes"

This splits bio in the middle of a vector to form the largest possible
bio at the h/w's desired alignment, and guarantees the bio being split
will have some data.
The criteria for splitting is changed from the max sectors to the h/w's
optimal sector alignment if it is provided. For h/w that advertise their
block storage's underlying chunk size, it's a big performance win to not
submit commands that cross them. If sector alignment is not provided,
this patch uses the max sectors as before.
This addresses the performance issue commit d380561113 attempted to
fix, but was reverted due to splitting logic error.

NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block
devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device
exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or
write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine
check recovery features, this would mean a crash.
The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that
have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward
to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device.
Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to
gendisks.

Take the core badblocks implementation from md, and make it generally
available. This follows the same style as kernel implementations of
linked lists, rb-trees etc, where you can have a structure that can be
embedded anywhere, and accessor functions to manipulate the data.
The only changes in this copy of the code are ones to generalize
function/variable names from md-specific ones. Also add init and free
functions.

When tearing down a block device early in its lifetime, userspace may
still be performing discovery actions like blkdev_ioctl() to re-read
partitions.
The nvdimm_revalidate_disk() implementation depends on
disk->driverfs_dev to be valid at entry. However, it is set to NULL in
del_gendisk() and fatally this is happening *before* the disk device is
deleted from userspace view.
There's no reason for del_gendisk() to clear ->driverfs_dev. That
device is the parent of the disk. It is guaranteed to not be freed
until the disk, as a child, drops its ->parent reference.
We could also fix this issue locally in nvdimm_revalidate_disk() by
using disk_to_dev(disk)->parent, but lets fix it globally since
->driverfs_dev follows the lifetime of the parent. Longer term we
should probably just add a @parent parameter to add_disk(), and stop
carrying this pointer in the gendisk.
