      aio: refcounting cleanup · 36f55889
      Kent Overstreet 提交于
      The usage of ctx->dead was fubar - it makes no sense to explicitly check
      it all over the place, especially when we're already using RCU.
      
      Now, ctx->dead only indicates whether we've dropped the initial
      refcount. The new teardown sequence is:
      
        set ctx->dead
        hlist_del_rcu();
        synchronize_rcu();
      
      Now we know no system calls can take a new ref, and it's safe to drop
      the initial ref:
      
        put_ioctx();
      
      We also need to ensure there are no more outstanding kiocbs.  This was
      done incorrectly - it was being done in kill_ctx(), and before dropping
      the initial refcount.  At this point, other syscalls may still be
      submitting kiocbs!
      
      Now, we cancel and wait for outstanding kiocbs in free_ioctx(), after
      kioctx->users has dropped to 0 and we know no more iocbs could be
      submitted.

      aio: make aio_put_req() lockless · 11599eba
      Kent Overstreet 提交于
      Freeing a kiocb needed to touch the kioctx for three things:
      
       * Pull it off the reqs_active list
       * Decrementing reqs_active
       * Issuing a wakeup, if the kioctx was in the process of being freed.
      
      This patch moves these to aio_complete(), for a couple reasons:
      
       * aio_complete() already has to issue the wakeup, so if we drop the
         kioctx refcount before aio_complete does its wakeup we don't have to
         do it twice.
       * aio_complete currently has to take the kioctx lock, so it makes sense
         for it to pull the kiocb off the reqs_active list too.
       * A later patch is going to change reqs_active to include unreaped
         completions - this will mean allocating a kiocb doesn't have to look
         at the ringbuffer. So taking the decrement of reqs_active out of
         kiocb_free() is useful prep work for that patch.
      
      This doesn't really affect cancellation, since existing (usb) code that
      implements a cancel function still calls aio_complete() - we just have
      to make sure that aio_complete does the necessary teardown for cancelled
      kiocbs.
      
      It does affect code paths where we free kiocbs that were never
      submitted; they need to decrement reqs_active and pull the kiocb off the
      reqs_active list.  This occurs in two places: kiocb_batch_free(), which
      is going away in a later patch, and the error path in io_submit_one.

      aio: remove retry-based AIO · 41003a7b
      Zach Brown 提交于
      This removes the retry-based AIO infrastructure now that nothing in tree
      is using it.
      
      We want to remove retry-based AIO because it is fundemantally unsafe.
      It retries IO submission from a kernel thread that has only assumed the
      mm of the submitting task.  All other task_struct references in the IO
      submission path will see the kernel thread, not the submitting task.
      This design flaw means that nothing of any meaningful complexity can use
      retry-based AIO.
      
      This removes all the code and data associated with the retry machinery.
      The most significant benefit of this is the removal of the locking
      around the unused run list in the submission path.

      hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators · b67bfe0d
      Sasha Levin 提交于
      I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
      
              list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
      
      The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
      
              hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
      
      Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
      they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
      exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
      
      Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
      
       - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
       - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
       - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
       was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
       - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
       properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
      
      The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

      vfs: make AIO use the proper rw_verify_area() area helpers · a70b52ec
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      We had for some reason overlooked the AIO interface, and it didn't use
      the proper rw_verify_area() helper function that checks (for example)
      mandatory locking on the file, and that the size of the access doesn't
      cause us to overflow the provided offset limits etc.
      
      Instead, AIO did just the security_file_permission() thing (that
      rw_verify_area() also does) directly.
      
      This fixes it to do all the proper helper functions, which not only
      means that now mandatory file locking works with AIO too, we can
      actually remove lines of code.

      Current code has put_ioctx() called asynchronously from aio_fput_routine();
      that's done *after* we have killed the request that used to pin ioctx,
      so there's nothing to stop io_destroy() waiting in wait_for_all_aios()
      from progressing.  As the result, we can end up with async call of
      put_ioctx() being the last one and possibly happening during exit_mmap()
      or elf_core_dump(), neither of which expects stray munmap() being done
      to them...
      
      We do need to prevent _freeing_ ioctx until aio_fput_routine() is done
      with that, but that's all we care about - neither io_destroy() nor
      exit_aio() will progress past wait_for_all_aios() until aio_fput_routine()
      does really_put_req(), so the ioctx teardown won't be done until then
      and we don't care about the contents of ioctx past that point.
      
      Since actual freeing of these suckers is RCU-delayed, we don't need to
      bump ioctx refcount when request goes into list for async removal.
      All we need is rcu_read_lock held just over the ->ctx_lock-protected
      area in aio_fput_routine().

      aio: fix io_setup/io_destroy race · 86b62a2c
      Al Viro 提交于
      Have ioctx_alloc() return an extra reference, so that caller would drop it
      on success and not bother with re-grabbing it on failure exit.  The current
      code is obviously broken - io_destroy() from another thread that managed
      to guess the address io_setup() would've returned would free ioctx right
      under us; gets especially interesting if aio_context_t * we pass to
      io_setup() points to PROT_READ mapping, so put_user() fails and we end
      up doing io_destroy() on kioctx another thread has just got freed...

      The problem lies with the allocation batching code.  It will
      opportunistically allocate kiocbs, and then trim back the list of iocbs
      when there is not enough room in the completion ring to hold all of the
      events.
      
      In the case above, what happens is that the pruning back of events ends
      up freeing up the last active request and the context is marked as dead,
      so it is thus responsible for waking up waiters.  Unfortunately, the
      code does not check for this condition, so we end up with a hung task.

      Unused iocbs in a batch should not be accounted as active. · 69e4747e
      Gleb Natapov 提交于
      Since commit 080d676d ("aio: allocate kiocbs in batches") iocbs are
      allocated in a batch during processing of first iocbs.  All iocbs in a
      batch are automatically added to ctx->active_reqs list and accounted in
      ctx->reqs_active.
      
      If one (not the last one) of iocbs submitted by an user fails, further
      iocbs are not processed, but they are still present in ctx->active_reqs
      and accounted in ctx->reqs_active.  This causes process to stuck in a D
      state in wait_for_all_aios() on exit since ctx->reqs_active will never
      go down to zero.  Furthermore since kiocb_batch_free() frees iocb
      without removing it from active_reqs list the list become corrupted
      which may cause oops.
      
      Fix this by removing iocb from ctx->active_reqs and updating
      ctx->reqs_active in kiocb_batch_free().

      aio: allocate kiocbs in batches · 080d676d
      Jeff Moyer 提交于
      In testing aio on a fast storage device, I found that the context lock
      takes up a fair amount of cpu time in the I/O submission path.  The reason
      is that we take it for every I/O submitted (see __aio_get_req).  Since we
      know how many I/Os are passed to io_submit, we can preallocate the kiocbs
      in batches, reducing the number of times we take and release the lock.
      
      In my testing, I was able to reduce the amount of time spent in
      _raw_spin_lock_irq by .56% (average of 3 runs).  The command I used to
      test this was:
      
         aio-stress -O -o 2 -o 3 -r 8 -d 128 -b 32 -i 32 -s 16384 <dev>
      
      I also tested the patch with various numbers of events passed to
      io_submit, and I ran the xfstests aio group of tests to ensure I didn't
      break anything.

      Cross Memory Attach · fcf63409
      Christopher Yeoh 提交于
      The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
      intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
      double copy of the message via shared memory.
      
      The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
      process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
      directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
      call.  There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
      process's address space into a destination process's address space.
      
      - Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
        using it:
        - Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
          preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
        written to would need to be contiguous.
        - Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
        ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
        from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
        but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
        (reason  appears to have been lost)
        - Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
        domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
        especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
        of processes  that all need to do this with each other
        - Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
        consider adding in the future (see below)
        - Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
        involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
      
      As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
      problems.  Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
      the pipe is not drained then you block.  Which requires some wrapping to
      do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive.  In all to all
      communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock.  And in the
      example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
      copying.
      
      There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
      does not get us the performance gain we could.  For example in an
      MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
      instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
      this would save us doing a copy.  We don't need to keep a copy of the data
      from the source.  I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
      could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
      specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
      copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
      and destination and store it in the destination.
      
      Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
      some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
      process messaging which is not MPI).  This interface is something which
      hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
      fast local communication.  And so in addition to this being useful for
      OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
      when the mm changes.
      
      There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
      go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
      
      http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2
      
      There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
      
      http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
      
      This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
      mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
      and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
      64-bit kernels.
      
      For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
      verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

      aio: wake all waiters when destroying ctx · e91f90bb

      The test program below will hang because io_getevents() uses
      add_wait_queue_exclusive(), which means the wake_up() in io_destroy() only
      wakes up one of the threads.  Fix this by using wake_up_all() in the aio
