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. Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered writes. wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is happening in the system: wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318 wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1, wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57 wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32 This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the device, 259:0 in this case. Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device state. The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows. Add sysfs files to display the stats. The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of the stats files, that is something we could add as well. Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Commit 0e87e58b ("blk-mq: improve warning for running a queue on the wrong CPU") attempts to avoid triggering the WARN_ON in __blk_mq_run_hw_queue when the expected CPU is dead. Problem is, in the last batch execution before round robin, blk_mq_hctx_next_cpu can schedule a dead CPU and also update next_cpu to the next alive CPU in the mask, which will trigger the WARN_ON despite the previous workaround. The following patch fixes this scenario by always scheduling the value in hctx->next_cpu. This changes the moment when we round-robin the CPU running the hctx, but it really doesn't matter, since it still executes BLK_MQ_CPU_WORK_BATCH times in a row before switching to another CPU.

For blk-mq, ->nr_requests does track queue depth, at least at init time. But for the older queue paths, it's simply a soft setting. On top of that, it's generally larger than the hardware setting on purpose, to allow backup of requests for merging. Fill a hole in struct request with a 'queue_depth' member, that drivers can call to more closely inform the block layer of the real queue depth.

Currently block plug holds up to 16 non-mergeable requests. This makes sense if the request size is small, eg, reduce lock contention. But if request size is big enough, we don't need to worry about lock contention. Holding such request makes no sense and it lows the disk utilization. In practice, this improves 10% throughput for my raid5 sequential write workload. The size (128k) is arbitrary right now, but it makes sure lock contention is small. This probably could be more intelligent, eg, check average request size holded. Since this is mainly for sequential IO, probably not worthy. V2: check the last request instead of the first request, so as long as there is one big size request we flush the plug.

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().

Since blk_mq_requeue_work() starts stopped queues and since execution of this function can be scheduled after a queue has been stopped it is not possible to stop queues without using an additional state variable to track whether or not the queue has been stopped. Hence modify blk_mq_requeue_work() such that it does not start stopped queues. My conclusion after a review of the blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() and blk_mq_{delay_,}kick_requeue_list() callers is as follows: * In the dm driver starting and stopping queues should only happen if __dm_suspend() or __dm_resume() is called and not if the requeue list is processed. * In the SCSI core queue stopping and starting should only be performed by the scsi_internal_device_block() and scsi_internal_device_unblock() functions but not by any other function. Although the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call in scsi_queue_rq() may help to reduce CPU load if a LLD queue is full, figuring out whether or not a queue should be restarted when requeueing a command would require to introduce additional locking in scsi_mq_requeue_cmd() to avoid a race with scsi_internal_device_block(). Avoid this complexity by removing the blk_mq_stop_hw_queue() call from scsi_queue_rq(). * In the NVMe core only the functions that call blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues() explicitly should start stopped queues. * A blk_mq_start_stopped_hwqueues() call must be added in the xen-blkfront driver in its blkif_recover() function.

Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to stop having to shift around the operation values. In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do that later) and thus clean up a lot of code. Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags field in struct request to 32-bits.

Patch series "fallocate for block devices", v11. This is a patchset to fix page cache coherency with BLKZEROOUT and implement fallocate for block devices. The first patch is a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to invalidate the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying device succeeds. Without this patch we still have the pagecache coherence bug that's been in the kernel forever. The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical block size. Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters were 512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs to 4k-LBA devices. The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires up the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent fallocate interface between files and block devices. It also allows the combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing discard. Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as generic/349-351. This patch (of 3): Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid returning stale cache contents at a later time.

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields. These specific functions have been selected because they are init functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of latent entropy.

Unlocking a mutex twice is wrong. Hence modify blkcg_policy_register() such that blkcg_pol_mutex is unlocked once if cpd == NULL. This patch avoids that smatch reports the following error: block/blk-cgroup.c:1378: blkcg_policy_register() error: double unlock 'mutex:&blkcg_pol_mutex' Fixes: 06b285bd ("blkcg: fix blkcg_policy_data allocation bug") Signed-off-by: NBart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com> Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v4.2+ Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
