<id>795fe54c2a828099e461e8c36b04210b2df462ed</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds to BFQ the missing per-device weight interfaces:
blkio.bfq.weight_device on legacy and io.bfq.weight on unified. The
implementation pretty closely resembles what we had in CFQ and the parsing code
is basically reused.

Tests
=====

Using two cgroups and three block devices, having weights setup as:

Cgroup          test1           test2
============================================
default         100             500
sda             500             100
sdb             default         default
sdc             200             200

cgroup v1 runs
--------------

    sda.test1.out:   READ: bw=913MiB/s

<title>block, bfq: detect wakers and unconditionally inject their I/O</title>
<updated>2019-06-25T15:07:34+00:00</updated>

<name>Paolo Valente</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=13a857a4c4e826c587cde3a69bc3d1162d247d9d'/>
<id>13a857a4c4e826c587cde3a69bc3d1162d247d9d</id>
<content type='text'>
A bfq_queue Q may happen to be synchronized with another
bfq_queue Q2, i.e., the I/O of Q2 may need to be completed for Q to
receive new I/O. We call Q2 "waker queue".

If I/O plugging is being performed for Q, and Q is not receiving any
more I/O because of the above synchronization, then, thanks to BFQ's
injection mechanism, the waker queue is likely to get served before
the I/O-plugging timeout fires.

Unfortunately, this fact may not be sufficient to guarantee a high
throughput during the I/O plugging, because the inject limit for Q may
be too low to guarantee a lot of injected I/O. In addition, the
duration of the plugging, i.e., the time before Q finally receives new
I/O, may not be minimized, because the waker queue may happen to be
served only after other queues.

To address these issues, this commit introduces the explicit detection
of the waker queue, and the unconditional injection of a pending I/O
request of the waker queue on each invocation of
bfq_dispatch_request().

One may be concerned that this systematic injection of I/O from the
waker queue delays the service of Q's I/O. Fortunately, it doesn't. On
the contrary, next Q's I/O is brought forward dramatically, for it is
not blocked for milliseconds.

This option is entirely bfq specific, give it an appropinquate name.

Also make it depend on CONFIG_BFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED in Kconfig, as all

<title>block, bfq: fix use after free in bfq_bfqq_expire</title>
<updated>2019-04-10T13:54:38+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Paolo Valente</name>

<id>eed47d19d9362bdd958e4ab56af480b9dbf6b2b6</id>
<content type='text'>
The function bfq_bfqq_expire() invokes the function
__bfq_bfqq_expire(), and the latter may free the in-service bfq-queue.
If this happens, then no other instruction of bfq_bfqq_expire() must
be executed, or a use-after-free will occur.

Basing on the assumption that __bfq_bfqq_expire() invokes
bfq_put_queue() on the in-service bfq-queue exactly once, the queue is
assumed to be freed if its refcounter is equal to one right before
invoking __bfq_bfqq_expire().

But, since commit 9dee8b3b057e ("block, bfq: fix queue removal from
weights tree") this assumption is false. __bfq_bfqq_expire() may also
invoke bfq_weights_tree_remove() and, since commit 9dee8b3b057e
("block, bfq: fix queue removal from weights tree"), also
the latter function may invoke bfq_put_queue(). So __bfq_bfqq_expire()
may invoke bfq_put_queue() twice, and this is the actual case where
the in-service queue may happen to be freed.

To address this issue, this commit moves the check on the refcounter
of the queue right around the last bfq_put_queue() that may be invoked
on the queue.

<title>block, bfq: save &amp; resume weight on a queue merge/split</title>

<id>fffca087d587b03d0d0dca2e86bf8e688fbf2c18</id>
<content type='text'>
bfq saves the state of a queue each time a merge occurs, to be
able to resume such a state when the queue is associated again
with its original process, on a split.

Unfortunately bfq does not save &amp; restore also the weight of the
queue. If the weight is not correctly resumed when the queue is
recycled, then the weight of the recycled queue could differ
from the weight of the original queue.

This commit adds the missing save &amp; resume of the weight.

bfq saves the state of a queue each time a merge occurs, to be
able to resume such a state when the queue is associated again
with its original process, on a split.

Unfortunately bfq does not save &amp; restore also the weight of the
queue. If the weight is not correctly resumed when the queue is
recycled, then the weight of the recycled queue could differ
from the weight of the original queue.

This commit adds the missing save &amp; resume of the weight.

The function "bfq_log_bfqq" prints the pid of the process
associated with the queue passed as input.

Unfortunately, if the queue is shared, then more than one process
is associated with the queue. The pid that gets printed in this
case is the pid of one of the associated processes.
Which process gets printed depends on the exact sequence of merge
events the queue underwent. So printing such a pid is rather
useless and above all is often rather confusing because it
reports a random pid between those of the associated processes.

This commit addresses this issue by printing SHARED instead of a pid
if the queue is shared.
