      block: Introduce blk_revalidate_disk_zones() · bf505456
      Damien Le Moal 提交于
      Drivers exposing zoned block devices have to initialize and maintain
      correctness (i.e. revalidate) of the device zone bitmaps attached to
      the device request queue (seq_zones_bitmap and seq_zones_wlock).
      
      To simplify coding this, introduce a generic helper function
      blk_revalidate_disk_zones() suitable for most (and likely all) cases.
      This new function always update the seq_zones_bitmap and seq_zones_wlock
      bitmaps as well as the queue nr_zones field when called for a disk
      using a request based queue. For a disk using a BIO based queue, only
      the number of zones is updated since these queues do not have
      schedulers and so do not need the zone bitmaps.
      
      With this change, the zone bitmap initialization code in sd_zbc.c can be
      replaced with a call to this function in sd_zbc_read_zones(), which is
      called from the disk revalidate block operation method.
      
      A call to blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is also added to the null_blk
      driver for devices created with the zoned mode enabled.
      
      Finally, to ensure that zoned devices created with dm-linear or
      dm-flakey expose the correct number of zones through sysfs, a call to
      blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is added to dm_table_set_restrictions().
      
      The zone bitmaps allocated and initialized with
      blk_revalidate_disk_zones() are freed automatically from
      __blk_release_queue() using the block internal function
      blk_queue_free_zone_bitmaps().

      block: Expose queue nr_zones in sysfs · 965b652e
      Damien Le Moal 提交于
      Expose through sysfs the nr_zones field of struct request_queue.
      Exposing this value helps in debugging disk issues as well as
      facilitating scripts based use of the disk (e.g. blktests).
      
      For zoned block devices, the nr_zones field indicates the total number
      of zones of the device calculated using the known disk capacity and
      zone size. This number of zones is always 0 for regular block devices.
      
      Since nr_zones is defined conditionally with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED,
      introduce the blk_queue_nr_zones() function to return the correct value
      for any device, regardless if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is set.

      blk-wbt: don't maintain inflight counts if disabled · c125311d
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      A previous commit removed the ability to have per-rq flags. We used
      those flags to maintain inflight counts. Since we don't have those
      anymore, we have to always maintain inflight counts, even if wbt is
      disabled. This is clearly suboptimal.
      
      Add a queue quiesce around changing the wbt latency settings from sysfs
      to work around this. With that, we can reliably put the enabled check in
      our bio_to_wbt_flags(), since we know the WBT_TRACKED flag will be
      consistent for the lifetime of the request.

      block: allow gendisk's request_queue registration to be deferred · fa70d2e2
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      Since I can remember DM has forced the block layer to allow the
      allocation and initialization of the request_queue to be distinct
      operations.  Reason for this is block/genhd.c:add_disk() has requires
      that the request_queue (and associated bdi) be tied to the gendisk
      before add_disk() is called -- because add_disk() also deals with
      exposing the request_queue via blk_register_queue().
      
      DM's dynamic creation of arbitrary device types (and associated
      request_queue types) requires the DM device's gendisk be available so
      that DM table loads can establish a master/slave relationship with
      subordinate devices that are referenced by loaded DM tables -- using
      bd_link_disk_holder().  But until these DM tables, and their associated
      subordinate devices, are known DM cannot know what type of request_queue
      it needs -- nor what its queue_limits should be.
      
      This chicken and egg scenario has created all manner of problems for DM
      and, at times, the block layer.
      
      Summary of changes:
      
      - Add device_add_disk_no_queue_reg() and add_disk_no_queue_reg() variant
        that drivers may use to add a disk without also calling
        blk_register_queue().  Driver must call blk_register_queue() once its
        request_queue is fully initialized.
      
      - Return early from blk_unregister_queue() if QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED
        is not set.  It won't be set if driver used add_disk_no_queue_reg()
        but driver encounters an error and must del_gendisk() before calling
        blk_register_queue().
      
      - Export blk_register_queue().
      
      These changes allow DM to use add_disk_no_queue_reg() to anchor its
      gendisk as the "master" for master/slave relationships DM must establish
      with subordinate devices referenced in DM tables that get loaded.  Once
      all "slave" devices for a DM device are known its request_queue can be
      properly initialized and then advertised via sysfs -- important
      improvement being that no request_queue resource initialization
      performed by blk_register_queue() is missed for DM devices anymore.

      block: properly protect the 'queue' kobj in blk_unregister_queue · 667257e8
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      The original commit e9a823fb (block: fix warning when I/O elevator
      is changed as request_queue is being removed) is pretty conflated.
      "conflated" because the resource being protected by q->sysfs_lock isn't
      the queue_flags (it is the 'queue' kobj).
      
      q->sysfs_lock serializes __elevator_change() (via elv_iosched_store)
      from racing with blk_unregister_queue():
      1) By holding q->sysfs_lock first, __elevator_change() can complete
      before a racing blk_unregister_queue().
      2) Conversely, __elevator_change() is testing for QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED
      in case elv_iosched_store() loses the race with blk_unregister_queue(),
      it needs a way to know the 'queue' kobj isn't there.
      
      Expand the scope of blk_unregister_queue()'s q->sysfs_lock use so it is
      held until after the 'queue' kobj is removed.
      
      To do so blk_mq_unregister_dev() must not also take q->sysfs_lock.  So
      rename __blk_mq_unregister_dev() to blk_mq_unregister_dev().
      
      Also, blk_unregister_queue() should use q->queue_lock to protect against
      any concurrent writes to q->queue_flags -- even though chances are the
      queue is being cleaned up so no concurrent writes are likely.

      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.

      block: fix warning when I/O elevator is changed as request_queue is being removed · e9a823fb
      David Jeffery 提交于
      There is a race between changing I/O elevator and request_queue removal
      which can trigger the warning in kobject_add_internal.  A program can
      use sysfs to request a change of elevator at the same time another task
      is unregistering the request_queue the elevator would be attached to.
      The elevator's kobject will then attempt to be connected to the
      request_queue in the object tree when the request_queue has just been
      removed from sysfs.  This triggers the warning in kobject_add_internal
      as the request_queue no longer has a sysfs directory:
      
      kobject_add_internal failed for iosched (error: -2 parent: queue)
      ------------[ cut here ]------------
      WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 14075 at lib/kobject.c:244 kobject_add_internal+0x103/0x2d0
      
      To fix this warning, we can check the QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED flag when
      changing the elevator and use the request_queue's sysfs_lock to
      serialize between clearing the flag and the elevator testing the flag.

      This happens since we invoke callbacks that need to block from the
      queue release handler. Fix this by pushing the final release to
      a workqueue.

      block: Avoid that blk_exit_rl() triggers a use-after-free · b425e504
      Bart Van Assche 提交于
      Since the introduction of .init_rq_fn() and .exit_rq_fn() it is
      essential that the memory allocated for struct request_queue
      stays around until all blk_exit_rl() calls have finished. Hence
      make blk_init_rl() take a reference on struct request_queue.
      
      This patch fixes the following crash:

      blk-throttle: choose a small throtl_slice for SSD · d61fcfa4
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      The throtl_slice is 100ms by default. This is a long time for SSD, a lot
      of IO can run. To make cgroups have smoother throughput, we choose a
      small value (20ms) for SSD.

      blk-throttle: make throtl_slice tunable · 297e3d85
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      throtl_slice is important for blk-throttling. It's called slice
      internally but it really is a time window blk-throttling samples data.
      blk-throttling will make decision based on the samplings. An example is
      bandwidth measurement. A cgroup's bandwidth is measured in the time
      interval of throtl_slice.
      
      A small throtl_slice meanse cgroups have smoother throughput but burn
      more CPUs. It has 100ms default value, which is not appropriate for all
      disks. A fast SSD can dispatch a lot of IOs in 100ms. This patch makes
      it tunable.
      
      Since throtl_slice isn't a time slice, the sysfs name
      'throttle_sample_time' reflects its character better.

      blk-stat: convert to callback-based statistics reporting · 34dbad5d
      Omar Sandoval 提交于
      Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the
      statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree
      users:
      
      1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of
         statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every
         window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows,
         wbt doesn't see every I/O.
      2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending
         on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also
         unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid
         polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the
         previous full window.
      
      This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users
      register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of
      the statistics from the window during which the callback was active.
      Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both
      currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further
      subdivide based on request size.
      
      The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu
      stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the
      I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified
      considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the
      statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics.
      
      wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem
      mentioned above is fixed.
      
      For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous
      window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling
      heuristic to use.
      
      Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue,
      this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those,
      we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

      blk-stat: use READ and WRITE instead of BLK_STAT_{READ,WRITE} · fa2e39cb

      The stats buckets will become generic soon, so make the existing users
      use the common READ and WRITE definitions instead of one internal to
