      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: don't handle failure in .get_budget · 88022d72

      It is enough to just check if we can get the budget via .get_budget().

      For SCSI, one issue to be fixed is that we have to call
      scsi_mq_uninit_cmd() to free allocated ressources if SCSI device fails
      to handle the request. And it isn't enough to simply call
      blk_mq_end_request() to do that if this request is marked as

      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.

      blk-mq-sched: improve dispatching from sw queue · b347689f
      Ming Lei 提交于
      SCSI devices use host-wide tagset, and the shared driver tag space is
      often quite big. However, there is also a queue depth for each lun(
      .cmd_per_lun), which is often small, for example, on both lpfc and
      qla2xxx, .cmd_per_lun is just 3.
      
      So lots of requests may stay in sw queue, and we always flush all
      belonging to same hw queue and dispatch them all to driver.
      Unfortunately it is easy to cause queue busy because of the small
      .cmd_per_lun.  Once these requests are flushed out, they have to stay in
      hctx->dispatch, and no bio merge can happen on these requests, and
      sequential IO performance is harmed.
      
      This patch introduces blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx for dequeuing a request
      from a sw queue, so that we can dispatch them in scheduler's way. We can
      then avoid dequeueing too many requests from sw queue, since we don't
      flush ->dispatch completely.
      
      This patch improves dispatching from sw queue by using the .get_budget
      and .put_budget callbacks.

      blk-mq: introduce .get_budget and .put_budget in blk_mq_ops · de148297
      Ming Lei 提交于
      For SCSI devices, there is often a per-request-queue depth, which needs
      to be respected before queuing one request.
      
      Currently blk-mq always dequeues the request first, then calls
      .queue_rq() to dispatch the request to lld. One obvious issue with this
      approach is that I/O merging may not be successful, because when the
      per-request-queue depth can't be respected, .queue_rq() has to return
      BLK_STS_RESOURCE, and then this request has to stay in hctx->dispatch
      list. This means it never gets a chance to be merged with other IO.
      
      This patch introduces .get_budget and .put_budget callback in blk_mq_ops,
      then we can try to get reserved budget first before dequeuing request.
      If the budget for queueing I/O can't be satisfied, we don't need to
      dequeue request at all. Hence the request can be left in the IO
      scheduler queue, for more merging opportunities.

      Rename:
      
      	wait_queue_t		=>	wait_queue_entry_t
      
      'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue",
      but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head,
      which had to carry the name.
      
      Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'.
      
      This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to
      lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry',
      which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

      block: introduce new block status code type · 2a842aca
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
      we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
      instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
      status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
      and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
      we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
      errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
      the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
      will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
      for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.
      
      For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
      to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
      fruite to improve it.
      
      blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
      typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

      blk-mq: unify hctx delay_work and run_work · 21c6e939
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      The only difference between ->run_work and ->delay_work, is that
      the latter is used to defer running a queue. This is done by
      marking the queue stopped, and scheduling ->delay_work to run
      sometime in the future. While the queue is stopped, direct runs
      or runs through ->run_work will not run the queue.
      
      If we combine the handlers, then we need to handle two things:
      
      1) If a delayed/stopped run is scheduled, then we should not run
         the queue before that has been completed.
      2) If a queue is delayed/stopped, the handler needs to restart
         the queue. Normally a run of a queue with the stopped bit set
         would be a no-op.
      
      Case 1 is handled by modifying a currently pending queue run
      to the deadline set by the caller of blk_mq_delay_queue().
      Subsequent attempts to queue a queue run will find the work
      item already pending, and direct runs will see a stopped queue
      as before.
      
      Case 2 is handled by adding a new bit, BLK_MQ_S_START_ON_RUN,
      that tells the work handler that it should clear a stopped
      queue and run the handler.

      They serve the exact same purpose. Get rid of the non-delayed
      work variant, and just run it without delay for the normal case.
