Most users will want to unregister bdi when dropping last reference to a bdi. Only a few users (like block devices) want to play more complex tricks with bdi registration and unregistration. So unregister bdi when the last reference to bdi is dropped and just make sure we don't unregister the bdi the second time if it is already unregistered.

Currently we wait for all cgwbs to get released in cgwb_bdi_destroy() (called from bdi_unregister()). That is however unnecessary now when cgwb->bdi is a proper refcounted reference (thus bdi cannot get released before all cgwbs are released) and when cgwb_bdi_destroy() shuts down writeback directly.

Currently we waited for all cgwbs to get freed in cgwb_bdi_destroy() which also means that writeback has been shutdown on them. Since this wait is going away, directly shutdown writeback on cgwbs from cgwb_bdi_destroy() to avoid live writeback structures after bdi_unregister() has finished. To make that safe with concurrent shutdown from cgwb_release_workfn(), we also have to make sure wb_shutdown() returns only after the bdi_writeback structure is really shutdown.

Currently root wb_writeback structure is added to bdi->wb_list in bdi_init() and never removed. That is different from all other wb_writeback structures which get added to the list when created and removed from it before wb_shutdown(). So move list addition of root bdi_writeback to bdi_register() and list removal of all wb_writeback structures to wb_shutdown(). That way a wb_writeback structure is on bdi->wb_list if and only if it can handle writeback and it will make it easier for us to handle shutdown of all wb_writeback structures in bdi_unregister().

congested->bdi pointer is used only to be able to remove congested structure from bdi->cgwb_congested_tree on structure release. Moreover the pointer can become NULL when we unregister the bdi. Rename the field to __bdi and add a comment to make it more explicit this is internal stuff of memcg writeback code and people should not use the field as such use will be likely race prone. We do not bother with converting congested->bdi to a proper refcounted reference. It will be slightly ugly to special-case bdi->wb.congested to avoid effectively a cyclic reference of bdi to itself and the reference gets cleared from bdi_unregister() making it impossible to reference a freed bdi.

bdi_writeback_congested structures get created for each blkcg and bdi regardless whether bdi is registered or not. When they are created in unregistered bdi and the request queue (and thus bdi) is then destroyed while blkg still holds reference to bdi_writeback_congested structure, this structure will be referencing freed bdi and last wb_congested_put() will try to remove the structure from already freed bdi. With commit 165a5e22 "block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()", SCSI started to destroy bdis without calling bdi_unregister() first (previously it was calling bdi_unregister() even for unregistered bdis) and thus the code detaching bdi_writeback_congested in cgwb_bdi_destroy() was not triggered and we started hitting this use-after-free bug. It is enough to boot a KVM instance with virtio-scsi device to trigger this behavior. Fix the problem by detaching bdi_writeback_congested structures in bdi_exit() instead of bdi_unregister(). This is also more logical as they can get attached to bdi regardless whether it ever got registered or not.

SCSI can call device_add_disk() several times for one request queue when a device in unbound and bound, creating new gendisk each time. This will lead to bdi being repeatedly registered and unregistered. This was not a big problem until commit 165a5e22 "block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()" since bdi was only registered repeatedly (bdi_register() handles repeated calls fine, only we ended up leaking reference to gendisk due to overwriting bdi->owner) but unregistered only in blk_cleanup_queue() which didn't get called repeatedly. After 165a5e22 we were doing correct bdi_register() - bdi_unregister() cycles however bdi_unregister() is not prepared for it. So make sure bdi_unregister() cleans up bdi in such a way that it is prepared for a possible following bdi_register() call. An easy way to provoke this behavior is to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE and use scsi_debug driver to create a scsi disk which immediately hangs without this fix.

When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, bdi has single bdi_writeback_congested at bdi->wb_congested. cgwb_bdi_init() allocates it with kzalloc() and doesn't do further initialization. This usually works fine as the reference count gets bumped to 1 by wb_init() and the put from wb_exit() releases it. However, when wb_init() fails, it puts the wb base ref automatically freeing the wb and the explicit kfree() in cgwb_bdi_init() error path ends up trying to free the same pointer the second time causing a double-free. Fix it by explicitly initilizing the refcnt to 1 and putting the base ref from cgwb_bdi_destroy().

The name for a bdi of a gendisk is derived from the gendisk's devt. However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a bdi with the same name is still live.

This moves the LRU lists from the zone to the node and related data such as counters, tracing, congestion tracking and writeback tracking. Unfortunately, due to reclaim and compaction retry logic, it is necessary to account for the number of LRU pages on both zone and node logic. Most reclaim logic is based on the node counters but the retry logic uses the zone counters which do not distinguish inactive and active sizes. It would be possible to leave the LRU counters on a per-zone basis but it's a heavier calculation across multiple cache lines that is much more frequent than the retry checks. Other than the LRU counters, this is mostly a mechanical patch but note that it introduces a number of anomalies. For example, the scans are per-zone but using per-node counters. We also mark a node as congested when a zone is congested. This causes weird problems that are fixed later but is easier to review. In the event that there is excessive overhead on 32-bit systems due to the nodes being on LRU then there are two potential solutions 1. Long-term isolation of highmem pages when reclaim is lowmem When pages are skipped, they are immediately added back onto the LRU list. If lowmem reclaim persisted for long periods of time, the same highmem pages get continually scanned. The idea would be that lowmem keeps those pages on a separate list until a reclaim for highmem pages arrives that splices the highmem pages back onto the LRU. It potentially could be implemented similar to the UNEVICTABLE list. That would reduce the skip rate with the potential corner case is that highmem pages have to be scanned and reclaimed to free lowmem slab pages. 2. Linear scan lowmem pages if the initial LRU shrink fails This will break LRU ordering but may be preferable and faster during memory pressure than skipping LRU pages.

wait_iff_congested has been used to throttle allocator before it retried another round of direct reclaim to allow the writeback to make some progress and prevent reclaim from looping over dirty/writeback pages without making any progress. We used to do congestion_wait before commit 0e093d99 ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") but that led to undesirable stalls and sleeping for the full timeout even when the BDI wasn't congested. Hence wait_iff_congested was used instead. But it seems that even wait_iff_congested doesn't work as expected. We might have a small file LRU list with all pages dirty/writeback and yet the bdi is not congested so this is just a cond_resched in the end and can end up triggering pre mature OOM. This patch replaces the unconditional wait_iff_congested by congestion_wait which is executed only if we _know_ that the last round of direct reclaim didn't make any progress and dirty+writeback pages are more than a half of the reclaimable pages on the zone which might be usable for our target allocation. This shouldn't reintroduce stalls fixed by 0e093d99 because congestion_wait is called only when we are getting hopeless when sleeping is a better choice than OOM with many pages under IO. We have to preserve logic introduced by commit 373ccbe5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress") into the __alloc_pages_slowpath now that wait_iff_congested is not used anymore. As the only remaining user of wait_iff_congested is shrink_inactive_list we can remove the WQ specific short sleep from wait_iff_congested because the sleep is needed to be done only once in the allocation retry cycle.

Jan Stancek has reported that system occasionally hanging after "oom01" testcase from LTP triggers OOM. Guessing from a result that there is a kworker thread doing memory allocation and the values between "Node 0 Normal free:" and "Node 0 Normal:" differs when hanging, vmstat is not up-to-date for some reason. According to commit 373ccbe5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress"), it meant to force the kworker thread to take a short sleep, but it by error used schedule_timeout(1). We missed that schedule_timeout() in state TASK_RUNNING doesn't do anything. Fix it by using schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(1) which forces the kworker thread to take a short sleep in order to make sure that vmstat is up-to-date.

Tetsuo Handa has reported that the system might basically livelock in OOM condition without triggering the OOM killer. The issue is caused by internal dependency of the direct reclaim on vmstat counter updates (via zone_reclaimable) which are performed from the workqueue context. If all the current workers get assigned to an allocation request, though, they will be looping inside the allocator trying to reclaim memory but zone_reclaimable can see stalled numbers so it will consider a zone reclaimable even though it has been scanned way too much. WQ concurrency logic will not consider this situation as a congested workqueue because it relies that worker would have to sleep in such a situation. This also means that it doesn't try to spawn new workers or invoke the rescuer thread if the one is assigned to the queue. In order to fix this issue we need to do two things. First we have to let wq concurrency code know that we are in trouble so we have to do a short sleep. In order to prevent from issues handled by 0e093d99 ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") we limit the sleep only to worker threads which are the ones of the interest anyway. The second thing to do is to create a dedicated workqueue for vmstat and mark it WQ_MEM_RECLAIM to note it participates in the reclaim and to have a spare worker thread for it.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

bdi's are initialized in two steps, bdi_init() and bdi_register(), but destroyed in a single step by bdi_destroy() which, for a bdi embedded in a request_queue, is called during blk_cleanup_queue() which makes the queue invisible and starts the draining of remaining usages. A request_queue's user can access the congestion state of the embedded bdi as long as it holds a reference to the queue. As such, it may access the congested state of a queue which finished blk_cleanup_queue() but hasn't reached blk_release_queue() yet. Because the congested state was embedded in backing_dev_info which in turn is embedded in request_queue, accessing the congested state after bdi_destroy() was called was fine. The bdi was destroyed but the memory region for the congested state remained accessible till the queue got released. a13f35e8 ("writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback") changed the situation. Now, the root congested state which is expected to be pinned while request_queue remains accessible is separately reference counted and the base ref is put during bdi_destroy(). This means that the root congested state may go away prematurely while the queue is between bdi_dstroy() and blk_cleanup_queue(), which was detected by Andrey's KASAN tests. The root cause of this problem is that bdi doesn't distinguish the two steps of destruction, unregistration and release, and now the root congested state actually requires a separate release step. To fix the issue, this patch separates out bdi_unregister() and bdi_exit() from bdi_destroy(). bdi_unregister() is called from blk_cleanup_queue() and bdi_exit() from blk_release_queue(). bdi_destroy() is now just a simple wrapper calling the two steps back-to-back. While at it, the prototype of bdi_destroy() is moved right below bdi_setup_and_register() so that the counterpart operations are located together.

bdi_for_each_wb() is used in several places to wake up or issue writeback work items to all wb's (bdi_writeback's) on a given bdi. The iteration is performed by walking bdi->cgwb_tree; however, the tree only indexes wb's which are currently active. For example, when a memcg gets associated with a different blkcg, the old wb is removed from the tree so that the new one can be indexed. The old wb starts dying from then on but will linger till all its inodes are drained. As these dying wb's may still host dirty inodes, writeback operations which affect all wb's must include them. bdi_for_each_wb() skipping dying wb's led to sync(2) missing and failing to sync the inodes belonging to those wb's. This patch adds a RCU protected @bdi->wb_list which lists all wb's beloinging to that bdi. wb's are added on creation and removed on release rather than on the start of destruction. bdi_for_each_wb() usages are replaced with list_for_each[_continue]_rcu() iterations over @bdi->wb_list and bdi_for_each_wb() and its helpers are removed. v2: Updated as per Jan. last_wb ref leak in bdi_split_work_to_wbs() fixed and unnecessary list head severing in cgwb_bdi_destroy() removed.

blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the largest. In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs. Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can contain processes. cgroups is going through a major interface revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the interface. As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem name from "blkio" to "io". This is more concise, matches the other two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an actual block device is involved or not. As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during boot. On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

There's a small consistency problem between the inode and writeback naming. Writeback calls the "for IO" inode queues b_io and b_more_io, but the inode calls these the "writeback list" or i_wb_list. This makes it hard to an new "under writeback" list to the inode, or call it an "under IO" list on the bdi because either way we'll have writeback on IO and IO on writeback and it'll just be confusing. I'm getting confused just writing this! So, rename the inode "for IO" list variable to i_io_list so we can add a new "writeback list" in a subsequent patch.

52ebea74 ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's (bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and indexed on bdi. When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi destruction is complete. This patch fixes the bug by updating bdi destruction to not wait for cong's to drain. A cong is unlinked from bdi->cgwb_congested_tree on bdi destuction regardless of its reference count as the bdi may go away any point after destruction. wb_congested_put() checks whether the cong is already unlinked on release.

52ebea74 ("writeback: make backing_dev_info host cgroup-specific bdi_writebacks") made bdi (backing_dev_info) host per-cgroup wb's (bdi_writeback's). As the congested state needs to be per-wb and referenced from blkcg side and multiple wbs, the patch made all non-root cong's (bdi_writeback_congested's) reference counted and indexed on bdi. When a bdi is destroyed, cgwb_bdi_destroy() tries to drain all non-root cong's; however, this can hang indefinitely because wb's can also be referenced from blkcg_gq's which are destroyed after bdi destruction is complete. To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed. This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way. * As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested initialization is moved into wb_init(). * When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting. bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are implemented. * The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init(). This patch in itself shouldn't cause any consequential behavior differences but prepares for the actual fix.

Currently, majority of cgroup writeback support including all the above functions are implemented in include/linux/backing-dev.h and mm/backing-dev.c; however, the portion closely related to writeback logic implemented in include/linux/writeback.h and mm/page-writeback.c will expand to support foreign writeback detection and correction. This patch moves wb[_try]_get() and wb_put() to include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h so that they can be used from writeback.h and inode_{attach|detach}_wb() to writeback.h and page-writeback.c. This is pure reorganization and doesn't introduce any functional changes.

Dirtyable memory is distributed to a wb (bdi_writeback) according to the relative bandwidth the wb is writing out in the whole system. This distribution is global - each wb is measured against all other wb's and gets the proportinately sized portion of the memory in the whole system. For cgroup writeback, the amount of dirtyable memory is scoped by memcg and thus each wb would need to be measured and controlled in its memcg. IOW, a wb will belong to two writeback domains - the global and memcg domains. The previous patches laid the groundwork to support the two wb_domains and this patch implements memcg wb_domain. memcg->cgwb_domain is initialized on css online and destroyed on css release, wb->memcg_completions is added, and __wb_writeout_inc() is updated to increment completions against both global and memcg wb_domains. The following patches will update balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines to actually consider memcg wb_domain for throttling.

The function name wb_dirty_limit(), its argument @dirty and the local variable @wb_dirty are mortally confusing given that the function calculates per-wb threshold value not dirty pages, especially given that @dirty and @wb_dirty are used elsewhere for dirty pages. Let's rename the function to wb_calc_thresh() and wb_dirty to wb_thresh.

If the completion of a wb_writeback_work can be waited upon by setting its ->done to a struct completion and waiting on it; however, for cgroup writeback support, it's necessary to issue multiple work items to multiple bdi_writebacks and wait for the completion of all. This patch implements wb_completion which can wait for multiple work items and replaces the struct completion with it. It can be defined using DEFINE_WB_COMPLETION_ONSTACK(), used for multiple work items and waited for by wb_wait_for_completion(). Nobody currently issues multiple work items and this patch doesn't introduce any behavior changes.

bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb (bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes. For cgroup writeback support, it needs to take all active wb's into account. If any wb on the bdi has dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true. To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't dip below 1. bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not. While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it used to be zero, this shouldn't cause any meaningful behavior difference. bdi_has_dirty_io() is made an inline function which tests whether ->tot_write_bandwidth is non-zero. Also, WARN_ON_ONCE()'s on its value are added to inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked().
