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

      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      * int return from put_io_context() wasn't used by anybody.  Make it
  return void like other put functions and docbook-fy the function
  comment.

* Reorder dummy declarations for !CONFIG_BLOCK case a bit.

* Make alloc_ioc_context() use __GFP_ZERO allocation, take init out of
  if block and drop 0'ing.

* Docbook-fy current_io_context() comment.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

      block, cfq: move cfqd->cic_index to q->id · a73f730d
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      cfq allocates per-queue id using ida and uses it to index cic radix
tree from io_context.  Move it to q->id and allocate on queue init and
free on queue release.  This simplifies cfq a bit and will allow for
further improvements of io context life-cycle management.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

      block: add missing blk_queue_dead() checks · 8ba61435
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      blk_insert_cloned_request(), blk_execute_rq_nowait() and
blk_flush_plug_list() either didn't check whether the queue was dead
or did it without holding queue_lock.  Update them so that dead state
is checked while holding queue_lock.

AFAICS, this plugs all holes (requeue doesn't matter as the request is
transitioning atomically from in_flight to queued).

      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      When trying to drain all requests, blk_drain_queue() checked only
q->rq.count[]; however, this only tracks REQ_ALLOCED requests.  This
patch updates blk_drain_queue() such that it looks at all the counters
and queues so that request_queue is actually empty on completion.

      block, sx8: kill blk_insert_request() · 1ba64ede
      由 Tejun Heo 提交于 
      The only user left for blk_insert_request() is sx8 and it can be
trivially switched to use blk_execute_rq_nowait() - special requests
aren't included in io stat and sx8 doesn't use block layer tagging.
Switch sx8 and kill blk_insert_requeset().

This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

Only compile tested.
