      block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller · d7067512
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our
      use case.  The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is
      not work conserving.  This patch introduces io.latency.  You provide a
      latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to
      make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets.  This makes use of
      the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff.  There are
      a few differences from wbt
      
       - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to
         the actual io.
       - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to.
       - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window.  This is because writes can
         be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of
         other workloads on our protected workload.
       - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that
         we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to.  Only at
         throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth.
       - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial
         delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy
         workloads.
      
      In testing this has worked out relatively well.  Protected workloads
      will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing
      normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if
      they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO).
      
      Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where
      we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and
      everything else in another group.  We see slightly higher requests per
      second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable
      RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier.
      
      Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group.
      Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box
      to die and not recover at all.  With these patches we see slight RPS
      drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and
      things recover within seconds.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      block, dax: move "select DAX" from BLOCK to FS_DAX · ef510424
      Dan Williams 提交于
      For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not
      require the DAX core to be built.
      
      Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from
      'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the
      block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to
      drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and
      lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case.
      
      Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

      alignment constraints to be violated this also introduces the

      block: hook up writeback throttling · 87760e5e
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot
      more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity.
      Background writeback should be, by definition, background
      activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time
      means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads,
      which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that
      we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence
      of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback,
      unless someone is waiting for it.
      
      The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the
      CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors
      the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that
      window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a
      given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth
      is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike
      CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we
      simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that
      scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a
      close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the
      windows where we get good behavior.
      
      Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This
      happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive
      scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window.
      When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's
      stable state of a zero scale count.
      
      The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency
      target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and
      75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables
      blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting.
      
      We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have
      a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup
      on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with
      that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will
      rely on CFQ doing that for us.

      blk-mq: Introduce blk_mq_quiesce_queue() · 6a83e74d
      Bart Van Assche 提交于
      blk_mq_quiesce_queue() waits until ongoing .queue_rq() invocations
      have finished. This function does *not* wait until all outstanding
      requests have finished (this means invocation of request.end_io()).
      The algorithm used by blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is as follows:
      * Hold either an RCU read lock or an SRCU read lock around
        .queue_rq() calls. The former is used if .queue_rq() does not
        block and the latter if .queue_rq() may block.
      * blk_mq_quiesce_queue() first calls blk_mq_stop_hw_queues()
        followed by synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_rcu(). The latter
        call waits for .queue_rq() invocations that started before
        blk_mq_quiesce_queue() was called.
      * The blk_mq_hctx_stopped() calls that control whether or not
        .queue_rq() will be called are called with the (S)RCU read lock
        held. This is necessary to avoid race conditions against
        blk_mq_quiesce_queue().

      block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsing · 080506ad
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      Recently commit bab55417 ("block: support embedded device command

      is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
      arg processing, when it really is block specific.
      
      Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
      prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
      is block specific.
      
      In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
       - help text was not really at all helpful.
       - index file for Documentation was not updated
       - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

      is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
      only small devices.
      
      This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
      references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
      option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
      can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
      considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
      
      Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
      expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
      are making should enable it.

      blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangement · afc24d49
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues.
      
      o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from
        "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception.
        Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from
        there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers.
      
      o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED.
      
        This option currently does two things.
      
        - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace
        - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat
          files in cgroup.
      
        If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use
        if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to
        also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of
        all the additional debug stat files which is not desired.
      
        Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under
        CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.
      
        This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all
        the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which
        can be enabled through config menu.

      cgroups: blkio subsystem as module · 67523c48
      Ben Blum 提交于
      Modify the Block I/O cgroup subsystem to be able to be built as a module.
      As the CFQ disk scheduler optionally depends on blk-cgroup, config options
      in block/Kconfig, block/Kconfig.iosched, and block/blk-cgroup.h are
      enhanced to support the new module dependency.

      block: enable by default support for large devices and files on 32-bit archs · db29a6b4
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 提交于
      Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD):
      
      - With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB
        limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using
        CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1).
      
      - This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue:
        mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature
        enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on
        machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue
        when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system
        running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.).
      
      While at it:
      
      - Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems
        (they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).
