Tetsuo Handa has reported that the system might basically livelock in OOM condition without triggering the OOM killer. The issue is caused by internal dependency of the direct reclaim on vmstat counter updates (via zone_reclaimable) which are performed from the workqueue context. If all the current workers get assigned to an allocation request, though, they will be looping inside the allocator trying to reclaim memory but zone_reclaimable can see stalled numbers so it will consider a zone reclaimable even though it has been scanned way too much. WQ concurrency logic will not consider this situation as a congested workqueue because it relies that worker would have to sleep in such a situation. This also means that it doesn't try to spawn new workers or invoke the rescuer thread if the one is assigned to the queue. In order to fix this issue we need to do two things. First we have to let wq concurrency code know that we are in trouble so we have to do a short sleep. In order to prevent from issues handled by 0e093d99 ("writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone") we limit the sleep only to worker threads which are the ones of the interest anyway. The second thing to do is to create a dedicated workqueue for vmstat and mark it WQ_MEM_RECLAIM to note it participates in the reclaim and to have a spare worker thread for it.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. 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.

bdi's are initialized in two steps, bdi_init() and bdi_register(), but destroyed in a single step by bdi_destroy() which, for a bdi embedded in a request_queue, is called during blk_cleanup_queue() which makes the queue invisible and starts the draining of remaining usages. A request_queue's user can access the congestion state of the embedded bdi as long as it holds a reference to the queue. As such, it may access the congested state of a queue which finished blk_cleanup_queue() but hasn't reached blk_release_queue() yet. Because the congested state was embedded in backing_dev_info which in turn is embedded in request_queue, accessing the congested state after bdi_destroy() was called was fine. The bdi was destroyed but the memory region for the congested state remained accessible till the queue got released. a13f35e8 ("writeback: don't embed root bdi_writeback_congested in bdi_writeback") changed the situation. Now, the root congested state which is expected to be pinned while request_queue remains accessible is separately reference counted and the base ref is put during bdi_destroy(). This means that the root congested state may go away prematurely while the queue is between bdi_dstroy() and blk_cleanup_queue(), which was detected by Andrey's KASAN tests. The root cause of this problem is that bdi doesn't distinguish the two steps of destruction, unregistration and release, and now the root congested state actually requires a separate release step. To fix the issue, this patch separates out bdi_unregister() and bdi_exit() from bdi_destroy(). bdi_unregister() is called from blk_cleanup_queue() and bdi_exit() from blk_release_queue(). bdi_destroy() is now just a simple wrapper calling the two steps back-to-back. While at it, the prototype of bdi_destroy() is moved right below bdi_setup_and_register() so that the counterpart operations are located together.

bdi_for_each_wb() is used in several places to wake up or issue writeback work items to all wb's (bdi_writeback's) on a given bdi. The iteration is performed by walking bdi->cgwb_tree; however, the tree only indexes wb's which are currently active. For example, when a memcg gets associated with a different blkcg, the old wb is removed from the tree so that the new one can be indexed. The old wb starts dying from then on but will linger till all its inodes are drained. As these dying wb's may still host dirty inodes, writeback operations which affect all wb's must include them. bdi_for_each_wb() skipping dying wb's led to sync(2) missing and failing to sync the inodes belonging to those wb's. This patch adds a RCU protected @bdi->wb_list which lists all wb's beloinging to that bdi. wb's are added on creation and removed on release rather than on the start of destruction. bdi_for_each_wb() usages are replaced with list_for_each[_continue]_rcu() iterations over @bdi->wb_list and bdi_for_each_wb() and its helpers are removed. v2: Updated as per Jan. last_wb ref leak in bdi_split_work_to_wbs() fixed and unnecessary list head severing in cgwb_bdi_destroy() removed.

blkio interface has become messy over time and is currently the largest. In addition to the inconsistent naming scheme, it has multiple stat files which report more or less the same thing, a number of debug stat files which expose internal details which shouldn't have been part of the public interface in the first place, recursive and non-recursive stats and leaf and non-leaf knobs. Both recursive vs. non-recursive and leaf vs. non-leaf distinctions don't make any sense on the unified hierarchy as only leaf cgroups can contain processes. cgroups is going through a major interface revision with the unified hierarchy involving significant fundamental usage changes and given that a significant portion of the interface doesn't make sense anymore, it's a good time to reorganize the interface. As the first step, this patch renames the external visible subsystem name from "blkio" to "io". This is more concise, matches the other two major subsystem names, "cpu" and "memory", and better suited as blkcg will be involved in anything writeback related too whether an actual block device is involved or not. As the subsystem legacy_name is set to "blkio", the only userland visible change outside the unified hierarchy is that blkcg is reported as "io" instead of "blkio" in the subsystem initialized message during boot. On the unified hierarchy, blkcg now appears as "io".

There's a small consistency problem between the inode and writeback naming. Writeback calls the "for IO" inode queues b_io and b_more_io, but the inode calls these the "writeback list" or i_wb_list. This makes it hard to an new "under writeback" list to the inode, or call it an "under IO" list on the bdi because either way we'll have writeback on IO and IO on writeback and it'll just be confusing. I'm getting confused just writing this! So, rename the inode "for IO" list variable to i_io_list so we can add a new "writeback list" in a subsequent patch.

This patch fixes the bug by updating bdi destruction to not wait for cong's to drain. A cong is unlinked from bdi->cgwb_congested_tree on bdi destuction regardless of its reference count as the bdi may go away any point after destruction. wb_congested_put() checks whether the cong is already unlinked on release.

To fix the bug, bdi destruction will be updated to not wait for cong's to drain, which naturally means that cong's may outlive the associated bdi. This is fine for non-root cong's but is problematic for the root cong's which are embedded in their bdi's as they may end up getting dereferenced after the containing bdi's are freed. This patch makes root cong's behave the same as non-root cong's. They are no longer embedded in their bdi's but allocated separately during bdi initialization, indexed and reference counted the same way. * As cong handling is the same for all wb's, wb->congested initialization is moved into wb_init(). * When !CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK, there was no indexing or refcnting. bdi->wb_congested is now a pointer pointing to the root cong allocated during bdi init and minimal refcnting operations are implemented. * The above makes root wb init paths diverge depending on CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK. root wb init is moved to cgwb_bdi_init().

Dirtyable memory is distributed to a wb (bdi_writeback) according to the relative bandwidth the wb is writing out in the whole system. This distribution is global - each wb is measured against all other wb's and gets the proportinately sized portion of the memory in the whole system. For cgroup writeback, the amount of dirtyable memory is scoped by memcg and thus each wb would need to be measured and controlled in its memcg. IOW, a wb will belong to two writeback domains - the global and memcg domains. The previous patches laid the groundwork to support the two wb_domains and this patch implements memcg wb_domain. memcg->cgwb_domain is initialized on css online and destroyed on css release, wb->memcg_completions is added, and __wb_writeout_inc() is updated to increment completions against both global and memcg wb_domains. The following patches will update balance_dirty_pages() and its subroutines to actually consider memcg wb_domain for throttling.

bdi_has_dirty_io() used to only reflect whether the root wb (bdi_writeback) has dirty inodes. For cgroup writeback support, it needs to take all active wb's into account. If any wb on the bdi has dirty inodes, bdi_has_dirty_io() should return true. To achieve that, as inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() now keep track of the dirty state transition of each wb, the number of dirty wbs can be counted in the bdi; however, bdi is already aggregating wb->avg_write_bandwidth which can easily be guaranteed to be > 0 when there are any dirty inodes by ensuring wb->avg_write_bandwidth can't dip below 1. bdi_has_dirty_io() can simply test whether bdi->tot_write_bandwidth is zero or not. While this bumps the value of wb->avg_write_bandwidth to one when it used to be zero, this shouldn't cause any meaningful behavior difference. bdi_has_dirty_io() is made an inline function which tests whether ->tot_write_bandwidth is non-zero. Also, WARN_ON_ONCE()'s on its value are added to inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked().

Currently, wb_has_dirty_io() determines whether a wb (bdi_writeback) has any dirty inode by testing all three IO lists on each invocation without actively keeping track. For cgroup writeback support, a single bdi will host multiple wb's each of which will host dirty inodes separately and we'll need to make bdi_has_dirty_io(), which currently only represents the root wb, aggregate has_dirty_io from all member wb's, which requires tracking transitions in has_dirty_io state on each wb. This patch introduces inode_wb_list_{move|del}_locked() to consolidate IO list operations leaving queue_io() the only other function which directly manipulates IO lists (via move_expired_inodes()). All three functions are updated to call wb_io_lists_[de]populated() which keep track of whether the wb has dirty inodes or not and record it using the new WB_has_dirty_io flag. inode_wb_list_moved_locked()'s return value indicates whether the wb had no dirty inodes before. mark_inode_dirty() is restructured so that the return value of inode_wb_list_move_locked() can be used for deciding whether to wake up the wb. While at it, change {bdi|wb}_has_dirty_io()'s return values to bool. These functions were returning 0 and 1 before.

For the planned cgroup writeback support, on each bdi (backing_dev_info), each memcg will be served by a separate wb (bdi_writeback). This patch updates bdi so that a bdi can host multiple wbs (bdi_writebacks). On the default hierarchy, blkcg implicitly enables memcg. This allows using memcg's page ownership for attributing writeback IOs, and every memcg - blkcg combination can be served by its own wb by assigning a dedicated wb to each memcg. This means that there may be multiple wb's of a bdi mapped to the same blkcg. As congested state is per blkcg - bdi combination, those wb's should share the same congested state. This is achieved by tracking congested state via bdi_writeback_congested structs which are keyed by blkcg. bdi->wb remains unchanged and will keep serving the root cgroup. cgwb's (cgroup wb's) for non-root cgroups are created on-demand or looked up while dirtying an inode according to the memcg of the page being dirtied or current task. Each cgwb is indexed on bdi->cgwb_tree by its memcg id. Once an inode is associated with its wb, it can be retrieved using inode_to_wb(). Currently, none of the filesystems has FS_CGROUP_WRITEBACK and all pages will keep being associated with bdi->wb. v3: inode_attach_wb() in account_page_dirtied() moved inside mapping_cap_account_dirty() block where it's known to be !NULL.

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback) and the role of the separation is unclear. For cgroup support for writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback) and the role of the separation is unclear.

bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality. It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL. This warning is of no real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function, and it triggers if blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy() is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since Commit: 6cd18e71 ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.") So this isn't wanted. It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio(). This needs to be called after writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed. Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global resource. Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy() perfectly fits these requirements. So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to bdi_destroy(), as can the writeback_bdi_unregister event which is already not used.

Add a new mount option which enables a new "lazytime" mode. This mode causes atime, mtime, and ctime updates to only be made to the in-memory version of the inode. The on-disk times will only get updated when (a) if the inode needs to be updated for some non-time related change, (b) if userspace calls fsync(), syncfs() or sync(), or (c) just before an undeleted inode is evicted from memory. This is OK according to POSIX because there are no guarantees after a crash unless userspace explicitly requests via a fsync(2) call. For workloads which feature a large number of random write to a preallocated file, the lazytime mount option significantly reduces writes to the inode table. The repeated 4k writes to a single block will result in undesirable stress on flash devices and SMR disk drives. Even on conventional HDD's, the repeated writes to the inode table block will trigger Adjacent Track Interference (ATI) remediation latencies, which very negatively impact long tail latencies --- which is a very big deal for web serving tiers (for example).

Now that default_backing_dev_info is not used for writeback purposes we can git rid of it easily: - instead of using it's name for tracing unregistered bdi we just use "unknown" - btrfs and ceph can just assign the default read ahead window themselves like several other filesystems already do. - we can assign noop_backing_dev_info as the default one in alloc_super. All filesystems already either assigned their own or noop_backing_dev_info.

If we have dirty inodes we need to call the filesystem for it, even if the device has been removed and the filesystem will error out early. The current code does that by reassining all dirty inodes to the default backing_dev_info when a bdi is unlinked, but that's pretty pointless given that the bdi must always outlive the super block. Instead of stopping writeback at unregister time and moving inodes to the default bdi just keep the current bdi alive until it is destroyed. The containing objects of the bdi ensure this doesn't happen until all writeback has finished by erroring out.

Since "BDI: Provide backing device capability information [try #3]" the backing_dev_info structure also provides flags for the kind of mmap operation available in a nommu environment, which is entirely unrelated to it's original purpose. Introduce a new nommu-only file operation to provide this information to the nommu mmap code instead. Splitting this from the backing_dev_info structure allows to remove lots of backing_dev_info instance that aren't otherwise needed, and entirely gets rid of the concept of providing a backing_dev_info for a character device. It also removes the need for the mtd_inodefs filesystem.

Page reclaim tests zone_is_reclaim_dirty(), but the site that actually sets this state does zone_set_flag(zone, ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY), sending the reader through layers indirection just to track down a simple bit. Remove all zone flag wrappers and just use bitops against zone->flags directly. It's just as readable and the lines are barely any longer. Also rename ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY to ZONE_DIRTY to match ZONE_WRITEBACK, and remove the zone_flags_t typedef.

A block_device may be attached to different gendisks and thus different bdis over time. bdev_inode_switch_bdi() is used to switch the associated bdi. The function assumes that the inode could be dirty and transfers it between bdis if so. This is a bit nasty in that it reaches into bdi internals. This patch reimplements the function so that it writes out the inode if dirty. This is a lot simpler and can be implemented without exposing bdi internals.

bdi_destroy() has code to transfer the remaining dirty inodes to the default_backing_dev_info; however, given the shutdown sequence, it isn't clear how such condition would happen. Also, it isn't a full solution as the transferred inodes stlil point to the bdi which is being destroyed. Operations on those inodes can end up accessing already released fields such as the percpu stat fields. Digging through the history, it seems that the code was added as a quick workaround for a bug report without fully root-causing the issue. We probably want to remove the code in time but for now let's add a comment noting that it is a quick workaround. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Canceling of bdi->wb.dwork is currently a bit mushy. bdi_wb_shutdown() performs cancel_delayed_work_sync() at the end after shutting down and flushing the delayed_work and bdi_destroy() tries yet again after bdi_unregister(). bdi->wb.dwork is queued only after checking BDI_registered while holding bdi->wb_lock and bdi_wb_shutdown() clears the flag while holding the same lock and then flushes the delayed_work. There's no way the delayed_work can be queued again after that. Replace the two unnecessary cancel_delayed_work_sync() invocations with WARNs on pending. This simplifies and clarifies the code a bit and will help future changes in further isolating bdi_writeback handling.
