Bart Van Assche b425e50492 block: Avoid that blk_exit_rl() triggers a use-after-free
Since the introduction of .init_rq_fn() and .exit_rq_fn() it is
essential that the memory allocated for struct request_queue
stays around until all blk_exit_rl() calls have finished. Hence
make blk_init_rl() take a reference on struct request_queue.

This patch fixes the following crash:

reboots even when system is not under any memory pressure. Machines
with a lot of cpus are more vulnerable to this condition.

Do struct blkcg_gq allocations outside the queue spinlock to allow

There's no potential harm in quiescing the queue, but it also doesn't
buy us anything. And we can't run the queue async for policy
deactivate, since we could be in the path of tearing the queue down.
If we schedule an async run of the queue at that time, we're racing
with queue teardown AFTER having we've already torn most of it down.

This adds a set of hooks that intercepts the blk-mq path of
allocating/inserting/issuing/completing requests, allowing
us to develop a scheduler within that framework.

We reuse the existing elevator scheduler API on the registration
side, but augment that with the scheduler flagging support for
the blk-mq interfce, and with a separate set of ops hooks for MQ
devices.

We split driver and scheduler tags, so we can run the scheduling
independently of device queue depth.

blkcg allocates some per-cgroup data structures with GFP_NOWAIT and
when that fails falls back to operations which aren't specific to the
cgroup.  Occassional failures are expected under pressure and falling
back to non-cgroup operation is the right thing to do.

Unfortunately, I forgot to add __GFP_NOWARN to these allocations and
these expected failures end up creating a lot of noise.  Add
__GFP_NOWARN.

Roman Pen 39a169b62b block: fix module reference leak on put_disk() call for cgroups throttle
get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they
increase the reference on the disk owner module.

The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and
to put it:

    disk = get_gendisk(...);

    /* use disk */

    owner = disk->fops->owner;
    put_disk(disk);
    module_put(owner);

fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e.
blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put
a module reference.  To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config
can be used.  In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0
(actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device):

    # lsmod | grep brd
    brd                     5175  0
    # i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" > \
        /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \
    done
    # lsmod | grep brd
    brd                     5175  100

Now brd module has 100 references.

The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().

Tejun Heo 1f7dd3e5a6 cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling
Consider the following v2 hierarchy.

  P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
                                 \- B
       
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't.  If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1.  Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter.  IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.

The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses.  pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated.  All controllers are
updated accordingly.

* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
  target csses can be converted trivially.  cpu, io, freezer, perf,
  netclassid and netprio fall in this category.

* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
  and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already.  The
  only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
  is obtained.

* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2.  How the
  single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
  mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.

* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug.  It now
  correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
  counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "The cgroup core saw several significant updates this cycle:

   - percpu_rwsem for threadgroup locking is reinstated.  This was
     temporarily dropped due to down_write latency issues.  Oleg's
     rework of percpu_rwsem which is scheduled to be merged in this
     merge window resolves the issue.

   - On the v2 hierarchy, when controllers are enabled and disabled, all
     operations are atomic and can fail and revert cleanly.  This allows
     ->can_attach() failure which is necessary for cpu RT slices.

   - Tasks now stay associated with the original cgroups after exit
     until released.  This allows tracking resources held by zombies
     (e.g.  pids) and makes it easy to find out where zombies came from
     on the v2 hierarchy.  The pids controller was broken before these
     changes as zombies escaped the limits; unfortunately, updating this
     behavior required too many invasive changes and I don't think it's
     a good idea to backport them, so the pids controller on 4.3, the
     first version which included the pids controller, will stay broken
     at least until I'm sure about the cgroup core changes.

Tejun Heo ca0752c5e3 blkcg: don't create "io.stat" on the root cgroup
The stat files on the root cgroup shows stats for the whole system and
usually don't contain any information which isn't available through
the usual system monitoring mechanisms.  Some controllers skip
collecting these duplicate stats to optimize cases where cgroup isn't
used and later try to emulate the result on demand.

This leads to complexities and subtle differences in the information
shown through different channels.  This is entirely unnecessary and
cgroup v2 is dropping stat files which are duplicate from all
controllers.  This patch removes "io.stat" from the root hierarchy.

While the bug is a straigh-forward use-after-free bug, it is tricky to
reproduce because blkg release is RCU protected and the rest of exit

This patch fixes the bug by updating blkg_destro_all() to clear
q->root_blkg and ->root_rl.blkg.

Tejun Heo 69d7fde590 blkcg: use CGROUP_WEIGHT_* scale for io.weight on the unified hierarchy
cgroup is trying to make interface consistent across different
controllers.  For weight based resource control, the knob should have
the range [1, 10000] and default to 100.  This patch updates
cfq-iosched so that the weight range conforms.  The internal
calculations have enough range and the widening of the weight range
shouldn't cause any problem.

* blkcg_policy->cpd_bind_fn() is added.  If present, this is invoked
  when blkcg is attached to a hierarchy.

* cfq_cpd_init() is updated to use the new default value on the
  unified hierarchy.

* cfq_cpd_bind() callback is implemented to clear per-blkg configs and
  apply the default config matching the hierarchy type.

* cfqd->root_group->[leaf_]weight initialization in cfq_init_queue()
  is moved into !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED block.  cfq_cpd_bind() is
  now responsible for initializing the initial weights when blkcg is
  enabled.

Tejun Heo 2ee867dcfa blkcg: implement interface for the unified hierarchy
blkcg interface grew to be the biggest of all controllers and
unfortunately most inconsistent too.  The interface files are
inconsistent with a number of cloes duplicates.  Some files have
recursive variants while others don't.  There's distinction between
normal and leaf weights which isn't intuitive and there are a lot of
stat knobs which don't make much sense outside of debugging and expose
too much implementation details to userland.

In the unified hierarchy, everything is always hierarchical and
internal nodes can't have tasks rendering the two structural issues
twisting the current interface.  The interface has to be updated in a
significant anyway and this is a good chance to revamp it as a whole.
This patch implements blkcg interface for the unified hierarchy.

* (from a previous patch) blkcg is identified by "io" instead of
  "blkio" on the unified hierarchy.  Given that the whole interface is
  updated anyway, the rename shouldn't carry noticeable conversion
  overhead.

* The original interface consisted of 27 files is replaced with the
  following three files.

  blkio.stat	: per-blkcg stats
  blkio.weight	: per-cgroup and per-cgroup-queue weight settings
  blkio.max	: per-cgroup-queue bps and iops max limits

Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt updated accordingly.

v2: blkcg_policy->dfl_cftypes wasn't removed on

Tejun Heo 36aa9e5f59 blkcg: move body parsing from blkg_conf_prep() to its callers
Currently, blkg_conf_prep() expects input to be of the following form

 MAJ:MIN NUM

and reads the NUM part into blkg_conf_ctx->v.  This is quite
restrictive and gets in the way in implementing blkcg interface for
the unified hierarchy.  This patch updates blkg_conf_prep() so that it
expects

 MAJ:MIN BODY_STR

where BODY_STR is an arbitrary string.  blkg_conf_ctx->v is replaced
with ->body which is a char pointer pointing to the start of BODY_STR.
Parsing of the body is moved to blkg_conf_prep()'s callers.

To allow using, for example, strsep() on blkg_conf_ctx->val, it is a
non-const pointer and to accommodate that const is dropped from @input
too.

This doesn't cause any behavior changes.

Tejun Heo c165b3e3c7 blkcg: rename subsystem name from blkio to io
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".

Tejun Heo 77ea733884 blkcg: move io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats into blkcg_gq
Currently, both cfq-iosched and blk-throttle keep track of
io_service_bytes and io_serviced stats.  While keeping track of them
separately may be useful during development, it doesn't make much
sense otherwise.  Also, blk-throttle was counting bio's as IOs while
cfq-iosched request's, which is more confusing than informative.

This patch adds ->stat_bytes and ->stat_ios to blkg (blkcg_gq),
removes the counterparts from cfq-iosched and blk-throttle and let
them print from the common blkg counters.  The common counters are
incremented during bio issue in blkcg_bio_issue_check().

The outputs are still filtered by whether the policy has
blkg_policy_data on a given blkg, so cfq's output won't show up if it
has never been used for a given blkg.  The only times when the outputs
would differ significantly are when policies are attached on the fly
or elevators are switched back and forth.  Those are quite exceptional
operations and I don't think they warrant keeping separate counters.

v3: Update blkio-controller.txt accordingly.

v2: Account IOs during bio issues instead of request completions so
    that bio-based drivers can be handled the same way.

Tejun Heo e6269c4454 blkcg: add blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt and replace cfq_group->dead_stats with it
cgroup stats are local to each cgroup and doesn't propagate to
ancestors by default.  When recursive stats are necessary, the sum is
calculated over all the descendants.  This initially was for backward
compatibility to support both group-local and recursive stats but this
mode of operation makes general sense as stat update is much hotter
thafn reporting those stats.

This however ends up losing recursive stats when a child is removed.
To work around this, cfq-iosched adds its stats to its parent
cfq_group->dead_stats which is summed up together when calculating
recursive stats.

It's planned that the core stats will be moved to blkcg_gq, so we want
to move the mechanism for keeping track of the stats of dead children
from cfq to blkcg core.  This patch adds blkg_[rw]stat->aux_cnt which
are atomic64_t's keeping track of auxiliary counts which are excluded
when reading local counts but included for recursive.

blkg_[rw]stat_merge() which were used by cfq to implement dead_stats
are replaced by blkg_[rw]stat_add_aux(), and cfq now forwards stats of
a dead cgroup to the aux counts of parent->stats instead of separate
->dead_stats.

This will also help making blkg_[rw]stats per-cpu.

Tejun Heo ae11889636 blkcg: consolidate blkg creation in blkcg_bio_issue_check()
blkg (blkcg_gq) currently is created by blkcg policies invoking
blkg_lookup_create() which ends up repeating about the same code in
different policies.  Theoretically, this can avoid the overhead of
looking and/or creating blkg's if blkcg is enabled but no policy is in
use; however, the cost of blkg lookup / creation is very low
especially if only the root blkcg is in use which is highly likely if
no blkcg policy is in active use - it boils down to a single very
predictable conditional and surrounding RCU protection.

This patch consolidates blkg creation to a new function
blkcg_bio_issue_check() which is called during bio issue from
generic_make_request_checks().  blkcg_bio_issue_check() is now the
only function which tries to create missing blkg's.  The subsequent
policy and request_list operations just perform blkg_lookup() and if
missing falls back to the root.

* blk_get_rl() no longer tries to create blkg.  It uses blkg_lookup()
  instead of blkg_lookup_create().

* blk_throtl_bio() is now called from blkcg_bio_issue_check() with rcu
  read locked and blkg already looked up.  Both throtl_lookup_tg() and
  throtl_lookup_create_tg() are dropped.

* cfq is similarly updated.  cfq_lookup_create_cfqg() is replaced with
  cfq_lookup_cfqg()which uses blkg_lookup().

This consolidates blkg handling and avoids unnecessary blkg creation
retries under memory pressure.  In addition, this provides a common
bio entry point into blkcg where things like common accounting can be
performed.

v2: Build fixes for !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED and
    !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING.

blkcg_policy->cpd_alloc/free_fn() are added to replace ->cpd_size.  As
cpd allocation is now done from policy side, it can simply allocate a

This is a bit unusual but was done this way mostly to simplify error
handling and all the existing use cases could be handled this way;
however, this is becoming too restrictive now that percpu memory can
be allocated without blocking.

This introduces two new mandatory blkcg_policy methods - pd_alloc_fn()
and pd_free_fn() - which are used to allocate and release pd for a
given policy.  As pd allocation is now done from policy side, it can
simply allocate a larger area which embeds pd at the beginning.  This

Tejun Heo 4c55f4f9ad blkcg: restructure blkg_policy_data allocation in blkcg_activate_policy()
When a policy gets activated, it needs to allocate and install its
policy data on all existing blkg's (blkcg_gq's).  Because blkg
iteration is protected by a spinlock, it currently counts the total
number of blkg's in the system, allocates the matching number of
policy data on a list and installs them during a single iteration.

This can be simplified by using speculative GFP_NOWAIT allocations
while iterating and falling back to a preallocated policy data on
failure.  If the preallocated one has already been consumed, it
releases the lock, preallocate with GFP_KERNEL and then restarts the
iteration.  This can be a bit more expensive than before but policy
activation is a very cold path and shouldn't matter.

Tejun Heo 5f6c2d2b7d blkcg: fix gendisk reference leak in blkg_conf_prep()
When a blkcg configuration is targeted to a partition rather than a
whole device, blkg_conf_prep fails with -EINVAL; unfortunately, it
forgets to put the gendisk ref in that case.  Fix it.

Tejun Heo 06b285bd11 blkcg: fix blkcg_policy_data allocation bug
e48453c386 ("block, cgroup: implement policy-specific per-blkcg
data") updated per-blkcg policy data to be dynamically allocated.
When a policy is registered, its policy data aren't created.  Instead,
when the policy is activated on a queue, the policy data are allocated
if there are blkg's (blkcg_gq's) which are attached to a given blkcg.
This is buggy.  Consider the following scenario.

1. A blkcg is created.  No blkg's attached yet.

2. The policy is registered.  No policy data is allocated.

3. The policy is activated on a queue.  As the above blkcg doesn't
   have any blkg's, it won't allocate the matching blkcg_policy_data.

4. An IO is issued from the blkcg and blkg is created and the blkcg
   still doesn't have the matching policy data allocated.

With cfq-iosched, this leads to an oops.

It also doesn't free policy data on policy unregistration assuming
that freeing of all policy data on blkcg destruction should take care
of it; however, this also is incorrect.

1. A blkcg has policy data.

2. The policy gets unregistered but the policy data remains.

3. Another policy gets registered on the same slot.

4. Later, the new policy tries to allocate policy data on the previous
   blkcg but the slot is already occupied and gets skipped.  The
   policy ends up operating on the policy data of the previous policy.

There's no reason to manage blkcg_policy_data lazily.  The reason we
do lazy allocation of blkg's is that the number of all possible blkg's
is the product of cgroups and block devices which can reach a
surprising level.  blkcg_policy_data is contrained by the number of
cgroups and shouldn't be a problem.

This patch makes blkcg_policy_data to be allocated for all existing
blkcg's on policy registration and freed on unregistration and removes
blkcg_policy_data handling from policy [de]activation paths.  This
makes that blkcg_policy_data are created and removed with the policy
they belong to and fixes the above described problems.

Tejun Heo 7876f930d0 blkcg: implement all_blkcgs list
Add all_blkcgs list goes through blkcg->all_blkcgs_node and is

blkcg_policy_data allocation bug.

Tejun Heo 144232b342 blkcg: blkcg_css_alloc() should grab blkcg_pol_mutex while iterating blkcg_policy[]
An entry in blkcg_policy[] is stable while there are non-bypassing
in-flight IOs on a request_queue which has the policy activated.  This
is why most derefs of blkcg_policy[] don't need explicit locking;
however, blkcg_css_alloc() isn't invoked from IO path and thus doesn't
have this protection and may race policies being added and removed.

Fix it by adding explicit blkcg_pol_mutex protection around
blkcg_policy[] iteration in blkcg_css_alloc().

Tejun Heo 838f13bf4b blkcg: allow blkcg_pol_mutex to be grabbed from cgroup [file] methods
blkcg_pol_mutex primarily protects the blkcg_policy array.  It also
protects cgroup file type [un]registration during policy addition /
removal.  This puts blkcg_pol_mutex outside cgroup internal
synchronization and in turn makes it impossible to grab from blkcg's
cgroup methods as that leads to cyclic dependency.

Another problematic dependency arising from this is through cgroup
interface file deactivation.  Removing a cftype requires removing all
files of the type which in turn involves draining all on-going
invocations of the file methods.  This means that an interface file
implementation can't grab blkcg_pol_mutex as draining can lead to AA
deadlock.

blkcg_reset_stats() is already in this situation.  It currently
trylocks blkcg_pol_mutex and then unwinds and retries the whole
operation on failure, which is cumbersome at best.  It has a lengthy
comment explaining how cgroup internal synchronization is involved and
expected to be updated but as explained above this doesn't need cgroup
internal locking to deadlock.  It's a self-contained AA deadlock.

The described circular dependencies can be easily broken by moving
cftype [un]registration out of blkcg_pol_mutex and protect them with
an outer mutex.  This patch introduces blkcg_pol_register_mutex which
wraps entire policy [un]registration including cftype operations and
shrinks blkcg_pol_mutex critical section.  This also makes the trylock
dancing in blkcg_reset_stats() unnecessary.  Removed.

This patch is necessary for the following blkcg_policy_data allocation
bug fixes.

Arianna Avanzini a322baad10 block/blk-cgroup.c: free per-blkcg data when freeing the blkcg
Currently, per-blkcg data is freed each time a policy is deactivated,
that is also upon scheduler switch. However, when switching from a
scheduler implementing a policy which requires per-blkcg data to
another one, that same policy might be active on other devices, and
therefore those same per-blkcg data could be still in use.
This commit lets per-blkcg data be freed when the blkcg is freed
instead of on policy deactivation.
