      blk-mq: Remove generation seqeunce · 12f5b931
      Keith Busch 提交于
      This patch simplifies the timeout handling by relying on the request
      reference counting to ensure the iterator is operating on an inflight
      and truly timed out request. Since the reference counting prevents the
      tag from being reallocated, the block layer no longer needs to prevent
      drivers from completing their requests while the timeout handler is
      operating on it: a driver completing a request is allowed to proceed to
      the next state without additional syncronization with the block layer.
      
      This also removes any need for generation sequence numbers since the
      request lifetime is prevented from being reallocated as a new sequence
      while timeout handling is operating on it.
      
      To enables this a refcount is added to struct request so that request
      users can be sure they're operating on the same request without it
      changing while they're processing it.  The request's tag won't be
      released for reuse until both the timeout handler and the completion
      are done with it.

      blk-mq: remove REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE usages from blk-mq · 634f9e46
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      After the recent updates to use generation number and state based
      synchronization, blk-mq no longer depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE except
      to avoid firing the same timeout multiple times.
      
      Remove all REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE usages and use a new rq_flags flag
      RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED to avoid firing the same timeout multiple
      times.  This removes atomic bitops from hot paths too.
      
      v2: Removed blk_clear_rq_complete() from blk_mq_rq_timed_out().
      
      v3: Added RQF_MQ_TIMEOUT_EXPIRED flag.

      blk-mq: make blk_abort_request() trigger timeout path · 358f70da
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With issue/complete and timeout paths now using the generation number
      and state based synchronization, blk_abort_request() is the only one
      which depends on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE for arbitrating completion.
      
      There's no reason for blk_abort_request() to be a completely separate
      path.  This patch makes blk_abort_request() piggyback on the timeout
      path instead of trying to terminate the request directly.
      
      This removes the last dependency on REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk-mq.
      
      Note that this makes blk_abort_request() asynchronous - it initiates
      abortion but the actual termination will happen after a short while,
      even when the caller owns the request.  AFAICS, SCSI and ATA should be
      fine with that and I think mtip32xx and dasd should be safe but not
      completely sure.  It'd be great if people who know the drivers take a
      look.

      blk-mq: replace timeout synchronization with a RCU and generation based scheme · 1d9bd516
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Currently, blk-mq timeout path synchronizes against the usual
      issue/completion path using a complex scheme involving atomic
      bitflags, REQ_ATOM_*, memory barriers and subtle memory coherence
      rules.  Unfortunately, it contains quite a few holes.
      
      There's a complex dancing around REQ_ATOM_STARTED and
      REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE between issue/completion and timeout paths; however,
      they don't have a synchronization point across request recycle
      instances and it isn't clear what the barriers add.
      blk_mq_check_expired() can easily read STARTED from N-2'th iteration,
      deadline from N-1'th, blk_mark_rq_complete() against Nth instance.
      
      In fact, it's pretty easy to make blk_mq_check_expired() terminate a
      later instance of a request.  If we induce 5 sec delay before
      time_after_eq() test in blk_mq_check_expired(), shorten the timeout to
      2s, and issue back-to-back large IOs, blk-mq starts timing out
      requests spuriously pretty quickly.  Nothing actually timed out.  It
      just made the call on a recycle instance of a request and then
      terminated a later instance long after the original instance finished.
      The scenario isn't theoretical either.
      
      This patch replaces the broken synchronization mechanism with a RCU
      and generation number based one.
      
      1. Each request has a u64 generation + state value, which can be
         updated only by the request owner.  Whenever a request becomes
         in-flight, the generation number gets bumped up too.  This provides
         the basis for the timeout path to distinguish different recycle
         instances of the request.
      
         Also, marking a request in-flight and setting its deadline are
         protected with a seqcount so that the timeout path can fetch both
         values coherently.
      
      2. The timeout path fetches the generation, state and deadline.  If
         the verdict is timeout, it records the generation into a dedicated
         request abortion field and does RCU wait.
      
      3. The completion path is also protected by RCU (from the previous
         patch) and checks whether the current generation number and state
         match the abortion field.  If so, it skips completion.
      
      4. The timeout path, after RCU wait, scans requests again and
         terminates the ones whose generation and state still match the ones
         requested for abortion.
      
         By now, the timeout path knows that either the generation number
         and state changed if it lost the race or the completion will yield
         to it and can safely timeout the request.
      
      While it's more lines of code, it's conceptually simpler, doesn't
      depend on direct use of subtle memory ordering or coherence, and
      hopefully doesn't terminate the wrong instance.
      
      While this change makes REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE synchronization unnecessary
      between issue/complete and timeout paths, REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE isn't
      removed yet as it's still used in other places.  Future patches will
      move all state tracking to the new mechanism and remove all bitops in
      the hot paths.
      
      Note that this patch adds a comment explaining a race condition in
      BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER path.  The race has always been there and this
      patch doesn't change it.  It's just documenting the existing race.
      
      v2: - Fixed BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER handling as pointed out by Jianchao.
          - s/request->gstate_seqc/request->gstate_seq/ as suggested by Peter.
          - READ_ONCE() added in blk_mq_rq_update_state() as suggested by Peter.
      
      v3: - Fixed possible extended seqcount / u64_stats_sync read looping
            spotted by Peter.
          - MQ_RQ_IDLE was incorrectly being set in complete_request instead
            of free_request.  Fixed.
      
      v4: - Rebased on top of hctx_lock() refactoring patch.
          - Added comment explaining the use of hctx_lock() in completion path.
      
      v5: - Added comments requested by Bart.
          - Note the addition of BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER race condition in the
            commit message.

      blk-mq: attempt to fix atomic flag memory ordering · a7af0af3
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      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 ;-)

      block: defer timeouts to a workqueue · 287922eb
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Timer context is not very useful for drivers to perform any meaningful abort
      action from.  So instead of calling the driver from this useless context
      defer it to a workqueue as soon as possible.
      
      Note that while a delayed_work item would seem the right thing here I didn't
      dare to use it due to the magic in blk_add_timer that pokes deep into timer
      internals.  But maybe this encourages Tejun to add a sensible API for that to
      the workqueue API and we'll all be fine in the end :)
      
      Contains a major update from Keith Bush:
      
      "This patch removes synchronizing the timeout work so that the timer can
       start a freeze on its own queue. The timer enters the queue, so timer
       context can only start a freeze, but not wait for frozen."

      blk-mq: improve support for shared tags maps · 0d2602ca
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
      blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
      This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
      so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
      some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.
      
      If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
      track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
      depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
      throttled down.
      
      The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
      between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
      active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
      when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
      period has passed.

      If a requeue event races with a timeout, we can get into the
      situation where we attempt to complete a request from the
      timeout handler when it's not start anymore. This causes a crash.
      So have the timeout handler check that REQ_ATOM_STARTED is still
      set on the request - if not, we ignore the event. If this happens,
      the request has now been marked as complete. As a consequence, we
      need to ensure to clear REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk_mq_start_request(),
      as to maintain proper request state.

      block: relax when to modify the timeout timer · f793aa53
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Since we are now, by default, applying timer slack to expiry times,
      the logic for when to modify a timer in the block code is suboptimal.
      The block layer keeps a forward rolling timer per queue for all
      requests, and modifies this timer if a request has a shorter timeout
      than what the current expiry time is. However, this breaks down
      when our rounded timer values get applied slack. Then each new
      request ends up modifying the timer, since we're still a little
      in front of the timer + slack.
      
      Fix this by allowing a tolerance of HZ / 2, the timeout handling
      doesn't need to be very precise. This drastically cuts down
      the number of timer modifications we have to make.

      After digging through the code, I think there may be a race between the
      request completion and the timer handler running.
      
      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.

      blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism · 320ae51f
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Linux currently has two models for block devices:
      
      - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
        request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
        functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
        management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.
      
      - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
        block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
        driver generally have to manage everything themselves.
      
      With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
      request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
      back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
      scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
      smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
      per device.
      
      The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
      for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
      everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
      that the shared approach solved.
      
      This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
      design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
      then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
      We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
      an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.
      
      blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:
      
      - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
        be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
        to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
        tags, to enable cache hot reuse.
      
      - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
        basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
        if a request happens to fail.
      
      - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
        submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
        desired location.
      
      - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
        to associate a request structure with some driver private
        command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
        and then any request handed to the driver will have the
        required size of memory associated with it.
      
      - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
        gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
        sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
        increases bandwidth.
      
      For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
      the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
      and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
      model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
      devices (as it was originally intended).

      block: Drop dead function blk_abort_queue() · 76aaa510
      Asias He 提交于
      This function was only used by btrfs code in btrfs_abort_devices()
      (seems in a wrong way).
      
      It was removed in commit d07eb911,
      So, Let's remove the dead code to avoid any confusion.
      
      Changes in v2: update commit log, btrfs_abort_devices() was removed
      already.

      fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directory · dd48c085
      Akinobu Mita 提交于
      init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
      But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.
      
      Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
      data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.
      
      The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
      export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
      /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.
      
      init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request.  So this
      introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
      directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
      init_fault_attr_dentries().

      block: fix intermittent dm timeout based oops · 17d5c8ca
      Hannes Reinecke 提交于
      Very rarely under stress testing of dm, oopses are occuring as
      something tampers with an old stack frame.  This has been traced back
      to blk_abort_queue() leaving a timeout_list pointing to the stack.
      The reason is that sometimes blk_abort_request() won't delete the
      timer (if the request is marked as complete but before the timer has
      been removed, a small race window).  Fix this by splicing back from
      the ususally empty list to the q->timeout_list.
