Add 2 interfaces to stat io throttle information:
  blkio.throttle.total_io_queued
  blkio.throttle.total_bytes_queued

These interfaces are used for monitoring throttled io/bytes and
analyzing if delay has relation with io throttle.

io throtl stats will blkg_get at the beginning of throttle and then
blkg_put at the new introduced bi_tg_end_io. This will cause blkg to be
freed if end_io is called twice like dm-thin, which will save origin
end_io first, and call its overwrite end_io and then the saved end_io.
After that, access blkg is invalid and finally BUG:

ECI may have an use case that configuring each device mapper disk
throttling policy just under root blkio cgroup, but actually using them
in different containers.
Since hierarchical throttling is now only supported on cgroup v2 and ECI
uses cgroup v1, so we have to enable hierarchical throttling on cgroup
v1.
This is ported from redhat 7u, and a year ago Jiufei already ported it
to alikernel 4.9 as well. So I think this change should be acceptable.

After commit 991f61fe ("Blk-throttle: reduce tail io latency when
iops limit is enforced") wait time could be zero even if group is
throttled and cannot issue requests right now. As a result
throtl_select_dispatch() turns into busy-loop under irq-safe queue
spinlock.

Fix is simple: always round up target time to the next throttle slice.

There is a very small change a bio gets caught up in a really
unfortunate race between a task migration, cgroup exiting, and itself
trying to associate with a blkg. This is due to css offlining being
performed after the css->refcnt is killed which triggers removal of
blkgs that reach their blkg->refcnt of 0.

To avoid this, association with a blkg should use tryget and fallback to
using the root_blkg.

When an application's iops has exceeded its cgroup's iops limit, surely it
is throttled and kernel will set a timer for dispatching, thus IO latency
includes the delay.

However, the dispatch delay which is calculated by the limit and the
elapsed jiffies is suboptimal.  As the dispatch delay is only calculated
once the application's iops is (iops limit + 1), it doesn't need to wait
any longer than the remaining time of the current slice.

The difference can be proved by the following fio job and cgroup iops
setting,
-----
$ echo 4 > /mnt/config/nullb/disk1/mbps    # limit nullb's bandwidth to 4MB/s for testing.
$ echo "253:1 riops=100 rbps=max" > /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/cg1/io.max

Currently io.low uses a bi_cg_private to stash its private data for the
blkg, however other blkcg policies may want to use this as well.  Since
we can get the private data out of the blkg, move this to bi_blkg in the
bio and make it generic, then we can use bio_associate_blkg() to attach
the blkg to the bio.

Theoretically we could simply replace the bi_css with this since we can
get to all the same information from the blkg, however you have to
lookup the blkg, so for example wbc_init_bio() would have to lookup and
possibly allocate the blkg for the css it was trying to attach to the
bio.  This could be problematic and result in us either not attaching
the css at all to the bio, or falling back to the root blkcg if we are
unable to allocate the corresponding blkg.

So for now do this, and in the future if possible we could just replace
the bi_css with bi_blkg and update the helpers to do the correct
translation.

- The original size of the request (for the io.low controller)
- Flags for writeback throttling

which we can fill with the non-timestamp fields from blk_issue_stat,

In mixed read/write workload on SSD, write latency is much lower than
read. But now we only track and record read latency and then use it as
threshold base for both read and write io latency accounting. As a
result, write io latency will always be considered as good and
bad_bio_cnt is much smaller than 20% of bio_cnt. That is to mean, the
tg to be checked will be treated as idle most of the time and still let
others dispatch more ios, even it is truly running under low limit and
wants its low limit to be guaranteed, which is not we expected in fact.
So track read and write request individually, which can bring more
precise latency control for low limit idle detection.

If a bio is throttled and split after throttling, the bio could be
resubmited and enters the throttling again. This will cause part of the
bio to be charged multiple times. If the cgroup has an IO limit, the
double charge will significantly harm the performance. The bio split
becomes quite common after arbitrary bio size change.

To fix this, we always set the BIO_THROTTLED flag if a bio is throttled.
If the bio is cloned/split, we copy the flag to new bio too to avoid a
double charge. However, cloned bio could be directed to a new disk,
keeping the flag be a problem. The observation is we always set new disk
for the bio in this case, so we can clear the flag in bio_set_dev().

This issue exists for a long time, arbitrary bio size change just makes
it worse, so this should go into stable at least since v4.2.

This converts all remaining cases of the old setup_timer() API into using
timer_setup(), where the callback argument is the structure already
holding the struct timer_list. These should have no behavioral changes,
since they just change which pointer is passed into the callback with
the same available pointers after conversion. It handles the following
examples, in addition to some other variations.

Casting from unsigned long:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, ptr);

and forced object casts:

    void my_callback(struct something *ptr)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, (unsigned long)ptr);

become:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0);

Direct function assignments:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
        struct something *ptr = (struct something *)data;
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr->my_timer.function = my_callback;

have a temporary cast added, along with converting the args:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *t)
    {
        struct something *ptr = from_timer(ptr, t, my_timer);
    ...
    }
    ...
    ptr->my_timer.function = (TIMER_FUNC_TYPE)my_callback;

And finally, callbacks without a data assignment:

    void my_callback(unsigned long data)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    setup_timer(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0);

have their argument renamed to verify they're unused during conversion:

    void my_callback(struct timer_list *unused)
    {
    ...
    }
    ...
    timer_setup(&ptr->my_timer, my_callback, 0);

The conversion is done with the following Coccinelle script:

spatch --very-quiet --all-includes --include-headers \

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.

A null pointer dereference can occur when blkcg is removed manually
with writeback IOs inflight. This is caused by the following case:

Writeback kworker submit the bio and set bio->bi_cg_private to tg
in blk_throtl_assoc_bio.
Then we remove the block cgroup manually, the blkg and tg would be
freed if there is no request inflight.
When the submitted bio come back, blk_throtl_bio_endio() fetch the tg
which was already freed.

Fix this by increasing the refcount of blkg in funcion
blk_throtl_assoc_bio() so that the blkg will not be freed until the

There is a case which will lead to io stall. The case is described as
follows.
/test1
  |-subtest1
/test2
  |-subtest2
And subtest1 and subtest2 each has 32 queued bios already.

Now upgrade to max. In throtl_upgrade_state, it will try to dispatch
bios as follows:
1) tg=subtest1, do nothing;
2) tg=test1, transfer 32 queued bios from subtest1 to test1; no pending
left, no need to schedule next dispatch;
3) tg=subtest2, do nothing;
4) tg=test2, transfer 32 queued bios from subtest2 to test2; no pending
left, no need to schedule next dispatch;
5) tg=/, transfer 8 queued bios from test1 to /, 8 queued bios from
test2 to /, 8 queued bios from test1 to /, and 8 queued bios from test2
to /; note that test1 and test2 each still has 16 queued bios left;
6) tg=/, try to schedule next dispatch, but since disptime is now
(update in tg_update_disptime, wait=0), pending timer is not scheduled
in fact;
7) In throtl_upgrade_state it totally dispatches 32 queued bios and with
32 left. test1 and test2 each has 16 queued bios;
8) throtl_pending_timer_fn sees the left over bios, but could do
nothing, because throtl_select_dispatch returns 0, and test1/test2 has
no pending tg.

The blktrace shows the following:
8,32   0        0     2.539007641     0  m   N throtl upgrade to max
8,32   0        0     2.539072267     0  m   N throtl /test2 dispatch nr_queued=16 read=0 write=16

So force schedule dispatch if there are pending children.

Currently cfq/bfq/blk-throttle output cgroup info in trace in their own
way. Now we have standard blktrace API for this, so convert them to use
it.

Note, this changes the behavior a little bit. cgroup info isn't output
by default, we only do this with 'blk_cgroup' option enabled. cgroup
info isn't output as a string by default too, we only do this with
'blk_cgname' option enabled. Also cgroup info is output in different
position of the note string. I think these behavior changes aren't a big
issue (actually we make trace data shorter which is good), since the

blkcg_bio_issue_check() already gets blkcg for a BIO.
bio_associate_blkcg() uses a percpu refcounter, so it's a very cheap

hard disk IO latency varies a lot depending on spindle move. The latency
range could be from several microseconds to several milliseconds. It's
pretty hard to get the baseline latency used by io.low.

We will use a different stragety here. The idea is only using IO with
spindle move to determine if cgroup IO is in good state. For HD, if io
latency is small (< 1ms), we ignore the IO. Such IO is likely from
sequential IO, and is helpless to help determine if a cgroup's IO is
impacted by other cgroups. With this, we only account IO with big
latency. Then we can choose a hardcoded baseline latency for HD (4ms,
which is typical IO latency with seek).  With all these settings, the
io.low latency works for both HD and SSD.

Default value of io.low limit is 0. If user doesn't configure the limit,
last patch makes cgroup be throttled to very tiny bps/iops, which could
stall the system. A cgroup with default settings of io.low limit really
means nothing, so we force user to configure all settings, otherwise
io.low limit doesn't take effect. With this stragety, default setting of

One hard problem adding .low limit is to detect idle cgroup. If one
cgroup doesn't dispatch enough IO against its low limit, we must have a
mechanism to determine if other cgroups dispatch more IO. We added the
think time detection mechanism before, but it doesn't work for all
workloads. Here we add a latency based approach.

We already have mechanism to calculate latency threshold for each IO
size. For every IO dispatched from a cgorup, we compare its latency
against its threshold and record the info. If most IO latency is below
threshold (in the code I use 75%), the cgroup could be treated idle and
other cgroups can dispatch more IO.

Currently this latency target check is only for SSD as we can't
calcualte the latency target for hard disk. And this is only for cgroup
leaf node so far.

User configures latency target, but the latency threshold for each
request size isn't fixed. For a SSD, the IO latency highly depends on
request size. To calculate latency threshold, we sample some data, eg,
average latency for request size 4k, 8k, 16k, 32k .. 1M. The latency
threshold of each request size will be the sample latency (I'll call it
base latency) plus latency target. For example, the base latency for
request size 4k is 80us and user configures latency target 60us. The 4k
latency threshold will be 80 + 60 = 140us.

To sample data, we calculate the order base 2 of rounded up IO sectors.
If the IO size is bigger than 1M, it will be accounted as 1M. Since the
calculation does round up, the base latency will be slightly smaller
than actual value. Also if there isn't any IO dispatched for a specific
IO size, we will use the base latency of smaller IO size for this IO
size.

But we shouldn't sample data at any time. The base latency is supposed
to be latency where disk isn't congested, because we use latency
threshold to schedule IOs between cgroups. If disk is congested, the
latency is higher, using it for scheduling is meaningless. Hence we only
do the sampling when block throttling is in the LOW limit, with
assumption disk isn't congested in such state. If the assumption isn't
true, eg, low limit is too high, calculated latency threshold will be
higher.

Hard disk is completely different. Latency depends on spindle seek
instead of request size. Currently this feature is SSD only, we probably
can use a fixed threshold like 4ms for hard disk though.

Here we introduce per-cgroup latency target. The target determines how a
cgroup can afford latency increasement. We will use the target latency
to calculate a threshold and use it to schedule IO for cgroups. If a
cgroup's bandwidth is below its low limit but its average latency is
below the threshold, other cgroups can safely dispatch more IO even
their bandwidth is higher than their low limits. On the other hand, if
the first cgroup's latency is higher than the threshold, other cgroups
are throttled to their low limits. So the target latency determines how
we efficiently utilize free disk resource without sacifice of worload's
IO latency.

For example, assume 4k IO average latency is 50us when disk isn't
congested. A cgroup sets the target latency to 30us. Then the cgroup can
accept 50+30=80us IO latency. If the cgroupt's average IO latency is
90us and its bandwidth is below low limit, other cgroups are throttled
to their low limit. If the cgroup's average IO latency is 60us, other
cgroups are allowed to dispatch more IO. When other cgroups dispatch
more IO, the first cgroup's IO latency will increase. If it increases to
81us, we then throttle other cgroups.

User will configure the interface in this way:
echo "8:16 rbps=2097152 wbps=max latency=100 idle=200" > io.low

latency is in microsecond unit

By default, latency target is 0, which means to guarantee IO latency.

Last patch introduces a way to detect idle cgroup. We use it to make
upgrade/downgrade decision. And the new algorithm can detect completely
idle cgroup too, so we can delete the corresponding code.

Add interface to configure the threshold. The io.low interface will
like:
echo "8:16 rbps=2097152 wbps=max idle=2000" > io.low

idle is in microsecond unit.

A cgroup gets assigned a low limit, but the cgroup could never dispatch
enough IO to cross the low limit. In such case, the queue state machine
will remain in LIMIT_LOW state and all other cgroups will be throttled
according to low limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should
treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to lower state.

We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of
cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the
cgroup is below its low limit. This isn't what we want. A more
complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_LOW. But
when queue gets upgraded to lower state, other cgroups could dispatch
more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below
its low limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue
should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is
to detect if cgroup is truely idle.

Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This
patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please
note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload
with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg,
not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16.
Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the
idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle.

We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by
default 1ms for SSD and 100ms for HD). The idea is think time above the
threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer
think time is ok.

The patch (and the latter patches) uses 'unsigned long' to track time.
We convert 'ns' to 'us' with 'ns >> 10'. This is fast but loses
precision, should not a big deal.

When cgroups all reach low limit, cgroups can dispatch more IO. This
could make some cgroups dispatch more IO but others not, and even some
cgroups could dispatch less IO than their low limit. For example, cg1
low limit 10MB/s, cg2 limit 80MB/s, assume disk maximum bandwidth is
120M/s for the workload. Their bps could something like this:

cg1/cg2 bps: T1: 10/80 -> T2: 60/60 -> T3: 10/80

At T1, all cgroups reach low limit, so they can dispatch more IO later.
Then cg1 dispatch more IO and cg2 has no room to dispatch enough IO. At
T2, cg2 only dispatches 60M/s. Since We detect cg2 dispatches less IO
than its low limit 80M/s, we downgrade the queue from LIMIT_MAX to
LIMIT_LOW, then all cgroups are throttled to their low limit (T3). cg2
will have bandwidth below its low limit at most time.

The big problem here is we don't know the maximum bandwidth of the
workload, so we can't make smart decision to avoid the situation. This
patch makes cgroup bandwidth change smooth. After disk upgrades from
LIMIT_LOW to LIMIT_MAX, we don't allow cgroups use all bandwidth upto
their max limit immediately. Their bandwidth limit will be increased
gradually to avoid above situation. So above example will became
something like:

cg1/cg2 bps: 10/80 -> 15/105 -> 20/100 -> 25/95 -> 30/90 -> 35/85 -> 40/80
-> 45/75 -> 22/98

In this way cgroups bandwidth will be above their limit in majority
time, this still doesn't fully utilize disk bandwidth, but that's
something we pay for sharing.

Scale up is linear. The limit scales up 1/2 .low limit every
throtl_slice after upgrade. The scale up will stop if the adjusted limit
hits .max limit. Scale down is exponential. We cut the scale value half
if a cgroup doesn't hit its .low limit. If the scale becomes 0, we then
fully downgrade the queue to LIMIT_LOW state.

Note this doesn't completely avoid cgroup running under its low limit.
The best way to guarantee cgroup doesn't run under its limit is to set
max limit. For example, if we set cg1 max limit to 40, cg2 will never
run under its low limit.

cgroup could be assigned a limit, but doesn't dispatch enough IO, eg the
cgroup is idle. When this happens, the cgroup doesn't hit its limit, so
we can't move the state machine to higher level and all cgroups will be
throttled to their lower limit, so we waste bandwidth. Detecting idle
cgroup is hard. This patch handles a simple case, a cgroup doesn't
dispatch any IO. We ignore such cgroup's limit, so other cgroups can use
the bandwidth.

Please note this will be replaced with a more sophisticated algorithm
later, but this demonstrates the idea how we handle idle cgroups, so I
leave it here.
