bio_clone() is no longer used. Only bio_clone_bioset() or bio_clone_fast(). This is for the best, as bio_clone() used fs_bio_set, and filesystems are unlikely to want to use bio_clone(). So remove bio_clone() and all references. This includes a fix to some incorrect documentation.

This patch converts bioset_create() to not create a workqueue by default, so alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer(). It also introduces a new flag BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER which tells bioset_create() to preserve the old behavior. All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers, are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag. biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool, btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by target_core_iblock.c. biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as their usage was recently audited and revised to never risk deadlock. It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets can end up being the non-rescued version.

"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow easy extensibility. bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in flags passed to __bioset_create(). To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the API. i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard bioset_create_nobvec(). Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec().

Currently only dm and md/raid5 bios trigger trace_block_bio_complete(). Now that we have bio_chain() and bio_inc_remaining(), it is not possible, in general, for a driver to know when the bio is really complete. Only bio_endio() knows that. So move the trace_block_bio_complete() call to bio_endio(). Now trace_block_bio_complete() pairs with trace_block_bio_queue(). Any bio for which a 'queue' event is traced, will subsequently generate a 'complete' event. There are a few cases where completion tracing is not wanted. 1/ If blk_update_request() has already generated a completion trace event at the 'request' level, there is no point generating one at the bio level too. In this case the bi_sector and bi_size will have changed, so the bio level event would be wrong 2/ If the bio hasn't actually been queued yet, but is being aborted early, then a trace event could be confusing. Some filesystems call bio_endio() but do not want tracing. 3/ The bio_integrity code interposes itself by replacing bi_end_io, then restoring it and calling bio_endio() again. This would produce two identical trace events if left like that. To handle these, we introduce a flag BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION and only produce the trace event when this is set. We address point 1 above by clearing the flag in blk_update_request(). We address point 2 above by only setting the flag when generic_make_request() is called. We address point 3 above by clearing the flag after generating a completion event. When bio_split() is used on a bio, particularly in blk_queue_split(), there is an extra complication. A new bio is split off the front, and may be handle directly without going through generic_make_request(). The old bio, which has been advanced, is passed to generic_make_request(), so it will trigger a trace event a second time. Probably the best result when a split happens is to see a single 'queue' event for the whole bio, then multiple 'complete' events - one for each component. To achieve this was can: - copy the BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION flag to the new bio in bio_split() - avoid generating a 'queue' event if BIO_TRACE_COMPLETION is already set. This way, the split-off bio won't create a queue event, the original won't either even if it re-submitted to generic_make_request(), but both will produce completion events, each for their own range. So if generic_make_request() is called (which generates a QUEUED event), then bi_endio() will create a single COMPLETE event for each range that the bio is split into, unless the driver has explicitly requested it not to.

A cgroup gets assigned a low limit, but the cgroup could never dispatch enough IO to cross the low limit. In such case, the queue state machine will remain in LIMIT_LOW state and all other cgroups will be throttled according to low limit. This is unfair for other cgroups. We should treat the cgroup idle and upgrade the state machine to lower state. We also have a downgrade logic. If the state machine upgrades because of cgroup idle (real idle), the state machine will downgrade soon as the cgroup is below its low limit. This isn't what we want. A more complicated case is cgroup isn't idle when queue is in LIMIT_LOW. But when queue gets upgraded to lower state, other cgroups could dispatch more IO and this cgroup can't dispatch enough IO, so the cgroup is below its low limit and looks like idle (fake idle). In this case, the queue should downgrade soon. The key to determine if we should do downgrade is to detect if cgroup is truely idle. Unfortunately it's very hard to determine if a cgroup is real idle. This patch uses the 'think time check' idea from CFQ for the purpose. Please note, the idea doesn't work for all workloads. For example, a workload with io depth 8 has disk utilization 100%, hence think time is 0, eg, not idle. But the workload can run higher bandwidth with io depth 16. Compared to io depth 16, the io depth 8 workload is idle. We use the idea to roughly determine if a cgroup is idle. We treat a cgroup idle if its think time is above a threshold (by default 1ms for SSD and 100ms for HD). The idea is think time above the threshold will start to harm performance. HD is much slower so a longer think time is ok. The patch (and the latter patches) uses 'unsigned long' to track time. We convert 'ns' to 'us' with 'ns >> 10'. This is fast but loses precision, should not a big deal. Signed-off-by: NShaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it all into the operations. The little caveat here is that previously cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough operations. Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

Instead of allocating a single unused biovec for discard requests, send them down without any payload. Instead we allow the driver to add a "special" payload using a biovec embedded into struct request (unioned over other fields never used while in the driver), and overloading the number of segments for this case. This has a couple of advantages: - we don't have to allocate the bio_vec - the amount of special casing for discard requests in the block layer is significantly reduced - using this same scheme for other request types is trivial, which will be important for implementing the new WRITE_ZEROES op on devices where it actually requires a payload (e.g. SCSI) - we can get rid of playing games with the request length, as we'll never touch it and completions will work just fine - it will allow us to support ranged discard operations in the future by merging non-contiguous discard bios into a single request - last but not least it removes a lot of code This patch is the common base for my WIP series for ranges discards and to remove discard_zeroes_data in favor of always using REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, so it would be good to get it in quickly.

This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes. The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command, but in the future, this should also help with improving the way zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one write zeroes operation by the device.

When a bio is cloned, the newly created bio must be associated with the same blkcg as the original bio (if BLK_CGROUP is enabled). If this operation is not performed, then the new bio is not associated with any group, and the group of the current task is returned when the group of the bio is requested. Depending on the cloning frequency, this may cause a large percentage of the bios belonging to a given group to be treated as if belonging to other groups (in most cases as if belonging to the root group). The expected group isolation may thereby be broken. This commit adds the missing association in bio-cloning functions.

Commit 326e1dbb ("block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_io") made bio_inc_remaining() private to bio.c because the only use-case that made sense was confined to the bio_chain() interface. Since that time DM thinp went on to use bio_chain() in its relatively complex implementation of async discard support. That implementation, even when converted over to use the new async __blkdev_issue_discard() interface, depends on deferred completion of the original discard bio -- which is most appropriately implemented using bio_inc_remaining(). DM thinp foolishly duplicated bio_inc_remaining(), local to dm-thin.c as __bio_inc_remaining(), so re-exporting bio_inc_remaining() allows us to put an end to that foolishness. All said, bio_inc_remaining() should really only be used in conjunction with bio_chain(). It isn't intended for generic bio reference counting.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.

Commit 35dc2483 introduced a check for current->mm to see if we have a user space context and only copies data if we do. Now if an IO gets interrupted by a signal data isn't copied into user space any more (as we don't have a user space context) but user space isn't notified about it. This patch modifies the behaviour to return -EINTR from bio_uncopy_user() to notify userland that a signal has interrupted the syscall, otherwise it could lead to a situation where the caller may get a buffer with no data returned. This can be reproduced by issuing SG_IO ioctl()s in one thread while constantly sending signals to it.

They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.
