      blk-mq: fix race with timeouts and requeue events · 87ee7b11
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      If a requeue event races with a timeout, we can get into the
      situation where we attempt to complete a request from the
      timeout handler when it's not start anymore. This causes a crash.
      So have the timeout handler check that REQ_ATOM_STARTED is still
      set on the request - if not, we ignore the event. If this happens,
      the request has now been marked as complete. As a consequence, we
      need to ensure to clear REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE in blk_mq_start_request(),
      as to maintain proper request state.

      	    block: Stop abusing rq->csd.list in blk-softirq
      
      and the problem was immediately apparent. The patch states that
      it is safe to reuse queuelist at completion time, since it is
      no longer used. However, that is not true if a device is using
      block enabled tagging. If that is the case, then the queuelist
      is reused to keep track of busy tags. If a device also ended
      up using softirq completions, we'd reuse ->queuelist for the
      IPI handling while block tagging was still using it. Boom.
      
      Fix this by adding a new ipi_list list head, and share the
      memory used with the request hash table. The hash table is
      never used after the request is moved to the dispatch list,
      which happens long before any potential completion of the
      request. Add a new request bit for this, so we don't have
      cases that check rq->hash while it could potentially have
      been reused for the IPI completion.

      block: __elv_next_request() shouldn't call into the elevator if bypassing · 556ee818
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      request_queue bypassing is used to suppress higher-level function of a
      request_queue so that they can be switched, reconfigured and shut
      down.  A request_queue does the followings while bypassing.
      
      * bypasses elevator and io_cq association and queues requests directly
        to the FIFO dispatch queue.
      
      * bypasses block cgroup request_list lookup and always uses the root
        request_list.
      
      Once confirmed to be bypassing, specific elevator and block cgroup
      policy implementations can assume that nothing is in flight for them
      and perform various operations which would be dangerous otherwise.
      
      Such confirmation is acheived by short-circuiting all new requests
      directly to the dispatch queue and waiting for all the requests which
      were issued before to finish.  Unfortunately, while the request
      allocating and draining sides were properly handled, we forgot to
      actually plug the request dispatch path.  Even after bypassing mode is
      confirmed, if the attached driver tries to fetch a request and the
      dispatch queue is empty, __elv_next_request() would invoke the current
      elevator's elevator_dispatch_fn() callback.  As all in-flight requests
      were drained, the elevator wouldn't contain any request but once
      bypass is confirmed we don't even know whether the elevator is even
      there.  It might be in the process of being switched and half torn
      down.
      
      Frank Mayhar reports that this actually happened while switching
      elevators, leading to an oops.
      
      Let's fix it by making __elv_next_request() avoid invoking the
      elevator_dispatch_fn() callback if the queue is bypassing.  It already
      avoids invoking the callback if the queue is dying.  As a dying queue
      is guaranteed to be bypassing, we can simply replace blk_queue_dying()
      check with blk_queue_bypass().

      blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanism · 320ae51f
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Linux currently has two models for block devices:
      
      - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct
        request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper
        functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag
        management, timeout handling, queueing, etc.
      
      - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the
        block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack,
        driver generally have to manage everything themselves.
      
      With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic
      request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates
      back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with
      scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on
      smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands
      per device.
      
      The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model
      for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent
      everything, and along with that we get all the problems again
      that the shared approach solved.
      
      This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The
      design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which
      then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues.
      We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be
      an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports.
      
      blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include:
      
      - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to
        be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and
        to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed
        tags, to enable cache hot reuse.
      
      - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device
        basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification,
        if a request happens to fail.
      
      - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and
        submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the
        desired location.
      
      - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need
        to associate a request structure with some driver private
        command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time,
        and then any request handed to the driver will have the
        required size of memory associated with it.
      
      - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model
        gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging
        sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus
        increases bandwidth.
      
      For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with
      the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic
      and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real
      model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md
      devices (as it was originally intended).

      block: Avoid that request_fn is invoked on a dead queue · c246e80d
      Bart Van Assche 提交于
      A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its
      request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn
      must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important
      when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress.
      As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in
      parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after
      scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but
      before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.

      block: Rename queue dead flag · 3f3299d5
      Bart Van Assche 提交于
      QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is used to indicate that queuing new requests must
      stop. After this flag has been set queue draining starts. However,
      during the queue draining phase it is still safe to invoke the
      queue's request_fn, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is a better name for this
      flag.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      blk_rq_merge_ok() is the elevator-neutral part of merge eligibility
      test.  blk_try_merge() determines merge direction and expects the
      caller to have tested elv_rq_merge_ok() previously.
      
      elv_rq_merge_ok() now wraps blk_rq_merge_ok() and then calls
      elv_iosched_allow_merge().  elv_try_merge() is removed and the two
      callers are updated to call elv_rq_merge_ok() explicitly followed by
      blk_try_merge().  While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return
      bool.

      block, cfq: move icq creation and rq->elv.icq association to block core · f1f8cc94
      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.

      block, cfq: move io_cq exit/release to blk-ioc.c · 7e5a8794
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With kmem_cache managed by blk-ioc, io_cq exit/release can be moved to
      blk-ioc too.  The odd ->io_cq->exit/release() callbacks are replaced
      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.

      elevator_queue->ops points to the same ops struct ->elevator_type.ops

      block, cfq: replace current_io_context() with create_io_context() · f2dbd76a
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      When called under queue_lock, current_io_context() triggers lockdep
      warning if it hits allocation path.  This is because io_context
      installation is protected by task_lock which is not IRQ safe, so it
      triggers irq-unsafe-lock -> irq -> irq-safe-lock -> irq-unsafe-lock
      deadlock warning.
      
      Given the restriction, accessor + creator rolled into one doesn't work
      too well.  Drop current_io_context() and let the users access
      task->io_context directly inside queue_lock combined with explicit
      creation using create_io_context().
      
      Future ioc updates will further consolidate ioc access and the create
      interface will be unexported.
      
      While at it, relocate ioc internal interface declarations in blk.h and
      add section comments before and after.

      block: make ioc get/put interface more conventional and fix race on alloction · 6e736be7
      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.

        specification.

      block: fix request_queue lifetime handling by making blk_queue_cleanup() properly shutdown · c9a929dd
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime
      management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer
      expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no
      new one will.
      
      This is fundamentally broken.  The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer)
      doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before
      calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any
      guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a
      reference.
      
      With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the
      following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with
      in-flight IOs.

      This happens because blk_queue_cleanup() destroys the queue and
      elevator whether IOs are in progress or not and DEAD tests are
      sprinkled in the request processing path without proper
      synchronization.
      
      Similar problem exists for blk-throtl.  On queue cleanup, blk-throtl
      is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not.  Depending on
      timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks
      which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state.
      
      The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between
      shutdown and release.  Shutdown drains all currently pending requests,
      marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now
      unnecessary part of the queue.  Even after shutdown is complete,
      reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue
      although they will be immmediately failed.  The rest of teardown
      happens on release.
      
      This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup()
      behave as proper shutdown.
      
      * QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and
        queue_lock.
      
      * Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed.
        This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die
        after the check.
      
      * blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is
        now called during cleanup.
      
      * blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock,
        drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is
        released.

      * throtl_get_tg() returns pointer to a valid tg or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV),
        and drops queue_lock in the latter case.  Different locking context
        depending on return value is error-prone and DEAD state is scheduled
        to be protected by queue_lock anyway.  Move DEAD check inside
        queue_lock and return valid tg or NULL.
      
      * blk_throtl_bio() indicates return status both with its return value
        and in/out param **@bio.  The former is used to indicate whether
        queue is found to be dead during throtl processing.  The latter
        whether the bio is throttled.
      
        There's no point in returning DEAD check result from
        blk_throtl_bio().  The queue can die after blk_throtl_bio() is
        finished but before make_request_fn() grabs queue lock.

      block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags · 4853abaa
      Jeff Moyer 提交于
      Commit ae1b1539, block: reimplement
      FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
      running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
      storage (in our case, an HP EVA).  The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
      dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec.  It turns out
      that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
      commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
      The above commit changed that behavior:
      
      static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
      {
              struct request *rq;
      
              while (1) {
      -               while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
      +               if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
                              rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
      -                       if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
      -                           (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
      -                               return rq;
      -                       rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
      -                       if (rq)
      -                               return rq;
      +                       return rq;
                      }
      
      Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
      REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:
      
      struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)

              unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */

              bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
              REQ_FUA);
              unsigned skip = 0;
      ...
              if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
                      rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
      		if (!has_fua)
      			rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
      	        return rq;
      	}
      
      So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
      && rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).
      
      Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all.  Instead,
      __elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
      the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
      support flush or fua.
      
      The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
      stacking.  While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
      request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
      flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
      make it function as designed.
      
      In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
      inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io).  Shaohua
      had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
      but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
      other drivers.  So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.
      
      I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
      the lost performance.  Comments and other testers, as always, are
      appreciated.
      
      Cheers,
      Jeff

      block: hold queue if flush is running for non-queueable flush drive · 3ac0cc45
      shaohua.li@intel.com 提交于
      In some drives, flush requests are non-queueable. When flush request is
      running, normal read/write requests can't run. If block layer dispatches
      such request, driver can't handle it and requeue it.  Tejun suggested we
      can hold the queue when flush is running. This can avoid unnecessary
      requeue.  Also this can improve performance. For example, we have
      request flush1, write1, flush 2. flush1 is dispatched, then queue is
      hold, write1 isn't inserted to queue. After flush1 is finished, flush2
      will be dispatched. Since disk cache is already clean, flush2 will be
      finished very soon, so looks like flush2 is folded to flush1.
      
      In my test, the queue holding completely solves a regression introduced by
      commit 53d63e6b:
      
          block: make the flush insertion use the tail of the dispatch list
      
          It's not a preempt type request, in fact we have to insert it
          behind requests that do specify INSERT_FRONT.
      
      which causes about 20% regression running a sysbench fileio
      workload.

      block: get rid of QUEUE_FLAG_REENTER · c21e6beb
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      We are currently using this flag to check whether it's safe
      to call into ->request_fn(). If it is set, we punt to kblockd.
      But we get a lot of false positives and excessive punts to
      kblockd, which hurts performance.
      
      The only real abuser of this infrastructure is SCSI. So export
      the async queue run and convert SCSI over to use that. There's
      room for improvement in that SCSI need not always use the async
      call, but this fixes our performance issue and they can fix that
      up in due time.

      block: attempt to merge with existing requests on plug flush · 5e84ea3a
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
      lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
      everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
      any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.
      
      Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
      It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
      merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
      merging).
      
      This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that
      can be merged.

      block: reimplement FLUSH/FUA to support merge · ae1b1539
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The current FLUSH/FUA support has evolved from the implementation
      which had to perform queue draining.  As such, sequencing is done
      queue-wide one flush request after another.  However, with the
      draining requirement gone, there's no reason to keep the queue-wide
      sequential approach.
      
      This patch reimplements FLUSH/FUA support such that each FLUSH/FUA
      request is sequenced individually.  The actual FLUSH execution is
      double buffered and whenever a request wants to execute one for either
      PRE or POSTFLUSH, it queues on the pending queue.  Once certain
      conditions are met, a flush request is issued and on its completion
      all pending requests proceed to the next sequence.
      
      This allows arbitrary merging of different type of flushes.  How they
      are merged can be primarily controlled and tuned by adjusting the
      above said 'conditions' used to determine when to issue the next
      flush.
      
      This is inspired by Darrick's patches to merge multiple zero-data
      flushes which helps workloads with highly concurrent fsync requests.
      
      * As flush requests are never put on the IO scheduler, request fields
        used for flush share space with rq->rb_node.  rq->completion_data is
        moved out of the union.  This increases the request size by one
        pointer.
      
        As rq->elevator_private* are used only by the iosched too, it is
        possible to reduce the request size further.  However, to do that,
        we need to modify request allocation path such that iosched data is
        not allocated for flush requests.
      
      * FLUSH/FUA processing happens on insertion now instead of dispatch.

      rq == &q->flush_rq was used to determine whether a rq is part of a

      Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
      merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.
      
      The detailed root cause is as follows.
      
      Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.
      
      1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
         is 0 and sda2's one is 1.
      
              | hd_struct->in_flight
         ---------------------------
         sda1 |          0
         sda2 |          1
         ---------------------------
      
      2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
         step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
         from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
         hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.
      
              | hd_struct->in_flight
         ---------------------------
         sda1 |          0
         sda2 |          1
         ---------------------------
      
      3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
         sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.
      
              | hd_struct->in_flight
         ---------------------------
         sda1 |         -1
         sda2 |          1
         ---------------------------
      
      The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
      inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
      and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
      also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
      the number of lookups we have to do.
      
      When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no
      request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe
      to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted
      again.
