2016-02-12bio: return EINTR if copying to user space got interruptedHannes Reinecke
Commit 35dc248383bbab0a7203fca4d722875bc81ef091 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.

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman
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.

This is basically four patchsets from Tejun, that improve our buffered cgroup writeback. It was dependent on the other cgroup changes, but they went in earlier in this cycle. Series 1 is set of 5 patches that has cgroup writeback updates: - bdi_writeback iteration fix which could lead to some wb's being skipped or repeated during e.g. sync under memory pressure. - Simplification of wb work wait mechanism. - Writeback tracepoints updated to report cgroup. Series 2 is is a set of updates for the CFQ cgroup writeback handling: cfq has always charged all async IOs to the root cgroup. It didn't have much choice as writeback didn't know about cgroups and there was no way to tell who to blame for a given writeback IO. writeback finally grew support for cgroups and now tags each writeback IO with the appropriate cgroup to charge it against. This patchset updates cfq so that it follows the blkcg each bio is tagged with. Async cfq_queues are now shared across cfq_group, which is per-cgroup, instead of per-request_queue cfq_data. This makes all IOs follow the weight based IO resource distribution implemented by cfq. - Switched from GFP_ATOMIC to GFP_NOWAIT as suggested by Jeff. - Other misc review points addressed, acks added and rebased. Series 3 is the blkcg policy cleanup patches: This patchset contains assorted cleanups for blkcg_policy methods and blk[c]g_policy_data handling. - alloc/free added for blkg_policy_data. exit dropped. - alloc/free added for blkcg_policy_data. - blk-throttle's async percpu allocation is replaced with direct allocation. - all methods now take blk[c]g_policy_data instead of blkcg_gq or blkcg. And finally, series 4 is a set of patches cleaning up the blkcg stats handling: blkcg's stats have always been somwhat of a mess. This patchset tries to improve the situation a bit. - The following patches added to consolidate blkcg entry point and blkg creation. This is in itself is an improvement and helps colllecting common stats on bio issue. - per-blkg stats now accounted on bio issue rather than request completion so that bio based and request based drivers can behave the same way. The issue was spotted by Vivek. - cfq-iosched implements custom recursive stats and blk-throttle implements custom per-cpu stats.

2015-08-19block: Replace SG_GAPS with new queue limits maskKeith Busch
The SG_GAPS queue flag caused checks for bio vector alignment against PAGE_SIZE, but the device may have different constraints. This patch adds a queue limits so a driver with such constraints can set to allow requests that would have been unnecessarily split. The new gaps check takes the request_queue as a parameter to simplify the logic around invoking this function. This new limit makes the queue flag redundant, so removing it and all usage.

2015-08-18blkcg: rename subsystem name from blkio to ioTejun Heo
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".

Since generic_make_request() can now handle arbitrary size bios, all we have to do is make sure the bvec array doesn't overflow. __bio_add_page() doesn't need to call ->merge_bvec_fn(), where we can get rid of unnecessary code paths. Removing the call to ->merge_bvec_fn() is also fine, as no driver that implements support for BLOCK_PC commands even has a ->merge_bvec_fn() method.

Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set' helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too. It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we already handle those separately. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-07-29block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

2015-05-22block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_ioMike Snitzer
Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern: 1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io 2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io 3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io 4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if bio_inc_remaining() is called. For the above pattern it isn't set until step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN). As such the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with the value 1 instead of 0. When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step 3 it brought it to a value of 2. When the second bio_endio() was called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set upfront). Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining. For the above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called! Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface. Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio.

2014-12-11bio: modify __bio_add_page() to accept pages that don't start a new segmentMaurizio Lombardi
The original behaviour is to refuse to add a new page if the maximum number of segments has been reached, regardless of the fact the page we are going to add can be merged into the last segment or not. Unfortunately, when the system runs under heavy memory fragmentation conditions, a driver may try to add multiple pages to the last segment. The original code won't accept them and EBUSY will be reported to userspace. This patch modifies the function so it refuses to add a page only in case the latter starts a new segment and the maximum number of segments has already been reached. The bug can be easily reproduced with the st driver: 1) set CONFIG_SCSI_MPT2SAS_MAX_SGE or CONFIG_SCSI_MPT3SAS_MAX_SGE to 16 2) modprobe st buffer_kbs=1024 3) #dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/st0 bs=1M count=10 dd: error writing `/dev/st0': Device or resource busy Signed-off-by: Maurizio Lombardi <mlombard@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Cc: Jet Chen <jet.chen@intel.com> Cc: Tomas Henzl <thenzl@redhat.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2014-08-01block: use kmalloc alignment for bio slabMikulas Patocka
Various subsystems can ask the bio subsystem to create a bio slab cache with some free space before the bio. This free space can be used for any purpose. Device mapper uses this per-bio-data feature to place some target-specific and device-mapper specific data before the bio, so that the target-specific data doesn't have to be allocated separately. This per-bio-data mechanism is used in place of kmalloc, so we need the allocated slab to have the same memory alignment as memory allocated with kmalloc. Change bio_find_or_create_slab() so that it uses ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN alignment when creating the slab cache. This is needed so that dm-crypt can use per-bio-data for encryption - the crypto subsystem assumes this data will have the same alignment as kmalloc'ed memory.

2014-06-24block: add support for limiting gaps in SG listsJens Axboe
Another restriction inherited for NVMe - those devices don't support SG lists that have "gaps" in them. Gaps refers to cases where the previous SG entry doesn't end on a page boundary. For NVMe, all SG entries must start at offset 0 (except the first) and end on a page boundary (except the last). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "Final small batch of fixes to be included before -rc1. Some general cleanups in here as well, but some of the blk-mq fixes we need for the NVMe conversion and/or scsi-mq. The pull request contains: - Support for not merging across a specified "chunk size", if set by the driver. Some NVMe devices perform poorly for IO that crosses such a chunk, so we need to support it generically as part of request merging avoid having to do complicated split logic. From me. - Bump max tag depth to 10Ki tags. Some scsi devices have a huge shared tag space. Before we failed with EINVAL if a too large tag depth was specified, now we truncate it and pass back the actual value. From me. - Various blk-mq rq init fixes from me and others. - A fix for enter on a dying queue for blk-mq from Keith. This is needed to prevent oopsing on hot device removal. - Fixup for blk-mq timer addition from Ming Lei. - Small round of performance fixes for mtip32xx from Sam Bradshaw. - Minor stack leak fix from Rickard Strandqvist. - Two __init annotations from Fabian Frederick" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block: add __init to blkcg_policy_register block: add __init to elv_register block: ensure that bio_add_page() always accepts a page for an empty bio blk-mq: add timer in blk_mq_start_request blk-mq: always initialize request->start_time block: blk-exec.c: Cleaning up local variable address returnd mtip32xx: minor performance enhancements blk-mq: ->timeout should be cleared in blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() blk-mq: don't allow queue entering for a dying queue blk-mq: bump max tag depth to 10K tags block: add blk_rq_set_block_pc() block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging
2014-06-10block: ensure that bio_add_page() always accepts a page for an empty bioJens Axboe
With commit 762380ad9322 added support for chunk sizes and no merging across them, it broke the rule of always allowing adding of a single page to an empty bio. So relax the restriction a bit to allow for that, similarly to what we have always done. This fixes a crash with mkfs.xfs and 512b sector sizes on NVMe.

Heavy restructuring including locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind a __DEVEL__ mount option.

To explain the design and rationales of the the unified hierarchy Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt is added. Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration update. This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted.

2014-06-05block: add notion of a chunk size for request mergingJens Axboe
Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will then prevent merging across the chunks. This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
