      lib/radix-tree.c: make radix_tree_node_alloc() work correctly within interrupt · 5e4c0d97
      Jan Kara 提交于
      With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
      one such possible user), the following race can happen:
      
      radix_tree_preload()
      ...
      radix_tree_insert()
        radix_tree_node_alloc()
          if (rtp->nr) {
            ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
      <interrupt>
      ...
      radix_tree_preload()
      ...
      radix_tree_insert()
        radix_tree_node_alloc()
          if (rtp->nr) {
            ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
      
      And we give out one radix tree node twice.  That clearly results in radix
      tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
      two users of radix tree race.
      
      We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
      radix tree nodes when in interrupt.  Using preloading when in interrupt
      doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
      we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
      on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
      in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
      gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
      all preload users.
      
      Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
      radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting.  Again,
      preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
      happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes.  However,
      some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
      to succeed.  To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
      radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
      and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
      which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
      prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

      block: queue work on power efficient wq · 695588f9
      Viresh Kumar 提交于
      Block layer uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency
      of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.
      
      On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
      service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
      scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.
      
      This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.

      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:

      I'm using the old-fashioned 'dump' backup tool, and I noticed that it spews the

      Reproducing is easy, I can hit it on a KVM system with a very basic
      config (x86_64 make defconfig + enable the drivers needed). To hit it,
      just install dump (on debian/ubuntu, not sure what the package might be
      called on Fedora), and:
      
      dump -o -f /tmp/foo /
      
      You'll see the warning in dmesg once it forks off the I/O process and
      starts dumping filesystem contents.
      
      I bisected it down to the following commit:

      It seems like the init of ioc->nr_tasks was removed in that patch,

      Tejun, is the right thing here to add back the init, or should something else

      block: exit_io_context() should call elevator_exit_icq_fn() · 621032ad
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      While updating locking, b2efa052 "block, cfq: unlink
      cfq_io_context's immediately" moved elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation
      from exit_io_context() to the final ioc put.  While this doesn't cause
      catastrophic failure, it effectively removes task exit notification to
      elevator and cause noticeable IO performance degradation with CFQ.
      
      On task exit, CFQ used to immediately expire the slice if it was being
      used by the exiting task as no more IO would be issued by the task;
      however, after b2efa052, the notification is lost and disk could sit
      idle needlessly, leading to noticeable IO performance degradation for
      certain workloads.
      
      This patch renames ioc_exit_icq() to ioc_destroy_icq(), separates
      elevator_exit_icq_fn() invocation into ioc_exit_icq() and invokes it
      from exit_io_context().  ICQ_EXITED flag is added to avoid invoking
      the callback more than once for the same icq.
      
      Walking icq_list from ioc side and invoking elevator callback requires
      reverse double locking.  This may be better implemented using RCU;
      unfortunately, using RCU isn't trivial.  e.g. RCU protection would
      need to cover request_queue and queue_lock switch on cleanup makes
      grabbing queue_lock from RCU unsafe.  Reverse double locking should
      do, at least for now.

      11a3122f "block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()"
      removed ioc_lock depth lockdep annoation along with locking
      optimization; however, while recursing from put_io_context() is no
      longer possible, ioc_release_fn() may still end up putting the last
      reference of another ioc through elevator, which wlil grab ioc->lock
      triggering spurious (as the ioc is always different one) A-A deadlock
      warning.
      
      As this can only happen one time from ioc_release_fn(), using non-zero
      subclass from ioc_release_fn() is enough.  Use subclass 1.

      block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context() · 11a3122f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid
      deferring ioc release to workqueue.  It was also broken on UP because
      trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced
      preemption count.
      
      While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most
      pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit
      loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the
      optimization.  Strip it out.  If there turns out to be workloads which
      are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion
      thread can be applied later.

      block: an exiting task should be allowed to create io_context · fd638368
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      While fixing io_context creation / task exit race condition,
      6e736be7 "block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and
      fix race on alloction" also prevented an exiting (%PF_EXITING) task
      from creating its own io_context.  This is incorrect as exit path may
      issue IOs, e.g. from exit_files(), and if those IOs are the first ones
      issued by the task, io_context needs to be created to process the IOs.
      
      Combined with the existing problem of io_context / io_cq creation
      failure having the possibility of stalling IO, this problem results in
      deterministic full IO lockup with certain workloads.
      
      Fix it by allowing io_context creation regardless of %PF_EXITING for
      %current.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Now block layer knows everything necessary to create and associate
      icq's with requests.  Move ioc_create_icq() to blk-ioc.c and update
      get_request() such that, if elevator_type->icq_size is set, requests
      are automatically associated with their matching icq's before
      elv_set_request().  io_context reference is also managed by block core
      on request alloc/free.
      
      * Only ioprio/cgroup changed handling remains from cfq_get_cic().
        Collapsed into cfq_set_request().
      
      * This removes queue kicking on icq allocation failure (for now).  As
        icq allocation failure is rare and the only effect of queue kicking
        achieved was possibily accelerating queue processing, this change
        shouldn't be noticeable.
      
        There is a larger underlying problem.  Unlike request allocation,
        icq allocation is not guaranteed to succeed eventually after
        retries.  The number of icq is unbound and thus mempool can't be the
        solution either.  This effectively adds allocation dependency on
        memory free path and thus possibility of deadlock.
      
        This usually wouldn't happen because icq allocation is not a hot
        path and, even when the condition triggers, it's highly unlikely
        that none of the writeback workers already has icq.
      
        However, this is still possible especially if elevator is being
        switched under high memory pressure, so we better get it fixed.
        Probably the only solution is just bypassing elevator and appending
        to dispatch queue on any elevator allocation failure.
      
      * Comment added to explain how icq's are managed and synchronized.
      
      This completes cleanup of io_context interface.

      With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to

      with elevator_ops->elevator_exit_icq_fn() with unlinking from both ioc
      and q, and freeing automatically handled by blk-ioc.  The elevator
      operation only need to perform exit operation specific to the elevator
      - in cfq's case, exiting the cfqq's.
      
      Also, clearing of io_cq's on q detach is moved to block core and
      automatically performed on elevator switch and q release.
      
      Because the q io_cq points to might be freed before RCU callback for
      the io_cq runs, blk-ioc code should remember to which cache the io_cq
      needs to be freed when the io_cq is released.  New field
      io_cq->__rcu_icq_cache is added for this purpose.  As both the new
      field and rcu_head are used only after io_cq is released and the
      q/ioc_node fields aren't, they are put into unions.

      Currently io_context and cfq logics are mixed without clear boundary.
      Most of io_context is independent from cfq but cfq_io_context handling
      logic is dispersed between generic ioc code and cfq.
      
      cfq_io_context represents association between an io_context and a
      request_queue, which is a concept useful outside of cfq, but it also
      contains fields which are useful only to cfq.
      
      This patch takes out generic part and put it into io_cq (io
      context-queue) and the rest into cfq_io_cq (cic moniker remains the
      same) which contains io_cq.  The following changes are made together.
      
      * cfq_ttime and cfq_io_cq now live in cfq-iosched.c.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      cic is association between io_context and request_queue.  A cic is
      linked from both ioc and q and should be destroyed when either one
      goes away.  As ioc and q both have their own locks, locking becomes a
      bit complex - both orders work for removal from one but not from the
      other.
      
      Currently, cfq tries to circumvent this locking order issue with RCU.
      ioc->lock nests inside queue_lock but the radix tree and cic's are
      also protected by RCU allowing either side to walk their lists without
      grabbing lock.
      
      This rather unconventional use of RCU quickly devolves into extremely
      fragile convolution.  e.g. The following is from cfqd going away too
      soon after ioc and q exits raced.

      The only real hot path here is cic lookup during request
      initialization and avoiding extra locking requires very confined use
      of RCU.  This patch makes cic removal from both ioc and request_queue
      perform double-locking and unlink immediately.
      
      * From q side, the change is almost trivial as ioc->lock nests inside
        queue_lock.  It just needs to grab each ioc->lock as it walks
        cic_list and unlink it.
      
      * From ioc side, it's a bit more difficult because of inversed lock
        order.  ioc needs its lock to walk its cic_list but can't grab the
        matching queue_lock and needs to perform unlock-relock dancing.
      
        Unlinking is now wholly done from put_io_context() and fast path is
        optimized by using the queue_lock the caller already holds, which is
        by far the most common case.  If the ioc accessed multiple devices,
        it tries with trylock.  In unlikely cases of fast path failure, it
        falls back to full double-locking dance from workqueue.
      
      Double-locking isn't the prettiest thing in the world but it's *far*
      simpler and more understandable than RCU trick without adding any
      meaningful overhead.
      
      This still leaves a lot of now unnecessary RCU logics.  Future patches
      will trim them.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Ignoring copy_io() during fork, io_context can be allocated from two
      places - current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio().  The former is
      always called from local task while the latter can be called from
      different task.  The synchornization between them are peculiar and
      dubious.
      
      * current_io_context() doesn't grab task_lock() and assumes that if it
        saw %NULL ->io_context, it would stay that way until allocation and
        assignment is complete.  It has smp_wmb() between alloc/init and
        assignment.
      
      * set_task_ioprio() grabs task_lock() for assignment and does
        smp_read_barrier_depends() between "ioc = task->io_context" and "if
        (ioc)".  Unfortunately, this doesn't achieve anything - the latter
        is not a dependent load of the former.  ie, if ioc itself were being
        dereferenced "ioc->xxx", it would mean something (not sure what tho)
        but as the code currently stands, the dependent read barrier is
        noop.
      
      As only one of the the two test-assignment sequences is task_lock()
      protected, the task_lock() can't do much about race between the two.
      Nothing prevents current_io_context() and set_task_ioprio() allocating
      its own ioc for the same task and overwriting the other's.
      
      Also, set_task_ioprio() can race with exiting task and create a new
      ioc after exit_io_context() is finished.
      
      ioc get/put doesn't have any reason to be complex.  The only hot path
      is accessing the existing ioc of %current, which is simple to achieve
      given that ->io_context is never destroyed as long as the task is
      alive.  All other paths can happily go through task_lock() like all
      other task sub structures without impacting anything.
      
      This patch updates ioc get/put so that it becomes more conventional.
      
      * alloc_io_context() is replaced with get_task_io_context().  This is
        the only interface which can acquire access to ioc of another task.
        On return, the caller has an explicit reference to the object which
        should be put using put_io_context() afterwards.
      
      * The functionality of current_io_context() remains the same but when
        creating a new ioc, it shares the code path with
        get_task_io_context() and always goes through task_lock().
      
      * get_io_context() now means incrementing ref on an ioc which the
        caller already has access to (be that an explicit refcnt or implicit
        %current one).
      
      * PF_EXITING inhibits creation of new io_context and once
        exit_io_context() is finished, it's guaranteed that both ioc
        acquisition functions return %NULL.
      
      * All users are updated.  Most are trivial but
        smp_read_barrier_depends() removal from cfq_get_io_context() needs a
        bit of explanation.  I suppose the original intention was to ensure
        ioc->ioprio is visible when set_task_ioprio() allocates new
        io_context and installs it; however, this wouldn't have worked
        because set_task_ioprio() doesn't have wmb between init and install.
        There are other problems with this which will be fixed in another
        patch.
      
      * While at it, use NUMA_NO_NODE instead of -1 for wildcard node
        specification.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.
