Linus Torvalds 36805aaea5 Merge branch 'for-3.11/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull core block IO updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Here are the core IO block bits for 3.11. It contains:

   - A tweak to the reserved tag logic from Jan, for weirdo devices with
     just 3 free tags.  But for those it improves things substantially
     for random writes.

   - Periodic writeback fix from Jan.  Marked for stable as well.

   - Fix for a race condition in IO scheduler switching from Jianpeng.

   - The hierarchical blk-cgroup support from Tejun.  This is the grunt
     of the series.

   - blk-throttle fix from Vivek.

  Just a note that I'm in the middle of a relocation, whole family is
  flying out tomorrow.  Hence I will be awal the remainder of this week,
  but back at work again on Monday the 15th.  CC'ing Tejun, since any
  potential "surprises" will most likely be from the blk-cgroup work.
  But it's been brewing for a while and sitting in my tree and
  linux-next for a long time, so should be solid."

Philippe De Muyter f8f066033b partitions/msdos: enumerate also AIX LVM partitions
Graft AIX partitions enumeration into partitions/msdos.c

There is already a AIX disks detection logic in msdos.c.  When an AIX disk
has been found, and if configured to, call the aix partitions recognizer.
This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code
duplication, and ensures that AIX partitions enumeration is called before
plain msdos partitions enumeration.

Philippe De Muyter 6ceea22bbb partitions: add aix lvm partition support files
Add partitions/aix.h and partitions/aix.c.

AIX LVM permits to make "logical volumes" which are made of multiple
slices of multiple disks.  The new code allows only access to the
"logical volumes" which are made of one slice on the probed disk, a
slice being a contiguous disk area.  The code also detects "logical
volumes" made of multiple slices on the probed disk, but can not
describe them to the partition layer, because the partition layer
generic code does not support that.  When such non-contiguous "logical
volumes" are detected, a diagnostic message is printed.

Jianpeng Ma d50235b7bc elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching
There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation.
    Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data
    don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL
    ->elevator_data.
    For example:
        Thread A:                               Thread B
        blk_queu_bio                            elevator_switch
        spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block)           elevator_alloc
        elv_merge                               elevator_init_fn

    Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the
    ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and
    nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened.

    Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the
    operations in a atomic operation.

    Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug
    1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null
    2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done

    The test method also use this method.

Linus Torvalds f317ff9eed Merge branch 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Surprisingly, Lai and I didn't break too many things implementing
  custom pools and stuff last time around and there aren't any follow-up
  changes necessary at this point.

  The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some
  per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot
  param whose default can be configured via a config option.  This leads
  to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are
  bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in
  certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a
  big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh.

  This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler
  perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on
  them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions
  less effective.

  Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous
  configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made
  automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected
  workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some
  configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes."

Jan Kara a6b3f7614c block: Reserve only one queue tag for sync IO if only 3 tags are available
In case a device has three tags available we still reserve two of them
for sync IO. That leaves only a single tag for async IO such as
writeback from flusher thread which results in poor performance.

Allow async IO to consume two tags in case queue has three tag availabe
to get a decent async write performance.

This patch improves streaming write performance on a machine with such disk
from ~21 MB/s to ~52 MB/s. Also postmark throughput in presence of
streaming writer improves from 8 to 12 transactions per second so sync
IO doesn't seem to be harmed in presence of heavy async writer.

Tejun Heo 9138125bea blk-throttle: implement proper hierarchy support
With the recent updates, blk-throttle is finally ready for proper
hierarchy support.  Dispatching now honors service_queue->parent_sq
and propagates correctly.  The only thing missing is setting
->parent_sq correctly so that throtl_grp hierarchy matches the cgroup
hierarchy.

This patch updates throtl_pd_init() such that service_queues form the
same hierarchy as the cgroup hierarchy if sane_behavior is enabled.
As this concludes proper hierarchy support for blkcg, the shameful
.broken_hierarchy tag is removed from blkio_subsys.

Tejun Heo 693e751e70 blk-throttle: implement throtl_grp->has_rules[]
blk_throtl_bio() has a quick exit path for throtl_grps without limits
configured.  It looks at the bps and iops limits and if both are not
configured, the bio is issued immediately.  While this is correct in
the current flat hierarchy as each throtl_grp behaves completely
independently, it would become wrong in proper hierarchy mode.  A
group without any limits could still be limited by one of its
ancestors and bio's queued for such group should not bypass
blk-throtl.

As having a quick bypass mechanism is beneficial, this patch
reimplements the mechanism such that it's correct even with proper
hierarchy.  throtl_grp->has_rules[] is added.  These booleans are
updated for the whole subtree whenever a config is updated so that
has_rules[] of the whole subtree stays synchronized.  They're also
updated when a new throtl_grp comes online so that it can't escape the
limits of its ancestors.

As no throtl_grp has another throtl_grp as parent now, this patch
doesn't yet make any behavior differences.

Vivek Goyal 32ee5bc478 blk-throttle: Account for child group's start time in parent while bio climbs up
With the planned proper hierarchy support, a bio will climb up the
tree before actually being dispatched. This makes sure bio is also
subjected to parent's throttling limits, if any.

It might happen that parent is idle and when bio is transferred to
parent, a new slice starts fresh. But that is incorrect as parents
wait time should have started when bio was queued in child group and
causes IOs to be throttled more than configured as they climb the
hierarchy.

Given the fact that we have not written hierarchical algorithm in a
way where child's and parents time slices are synchronized, we
transfer the child's start time to parent if parent was idling.  If
parent was busy doing dispatch of other bios all this while, this is
not an issue.

Child's slice start time is passed to parent. Parent looks at its
last expired slice start time. If child's start time is after parents
old start time, that means parent had been idle and after parent
went idle, child had an IO queued. So use child's start time as
parent start time.

If parent's start time is after child's start time, that means,
when IO got queued in child group, parent was not idle. But later
it dispatched some IO, its slice got trimmed and then it went idle.
After a while child's request got shifted in parent group. In this
case use parent's old start time as new start time as that's the
duration of slice we did not use.

This logic is far from perfect as if there are multiple childs
then first child transferring the bio decides the start time while
a bio might have queued up even earlier in other child, which is
yet to be transferred up to parent. In that case we will lose
time and bandwidth in parent. This patch is just an approximation
to make situation somewhat better.

Tejun Heo c5cc2070b4 blk-throttle: add throtl_qnode for dispatch fairness
With flat hierarchy, there's only single level of dispatching
happening and fairness beyond that point is the responsibility of the
rest of the block layer and driver, which usually works out okay;
however, with the planned hierarchy support,
service_queue->bio_lists[] can be filled up by bios from a single
source.  While the limits would still be honored, it'd be very easy to
starve IOs from siblings or children.

To avoid such starvation, this patch implements throtl_qnode and
converts service_queue->bio_lists[] to lists of per-source qnodes
which in turn contains the bio's.  For example, when a bio is
dispatched from a child group, the bio doesn't get queued on
->bio_lists[] directly but it first gets queued on the group's qnode
which in turn gets queued on service_queue->queued[].  When
dispatching for the upper level, the ->queued[] list is consumed in
round-robing order so that the dispatch windows is consumed fairly by
all IO sources.

There are two ways a bio can come to a throtl_grp - directly queued to
the group or dispatched from a child.  For the former
throtl_grp->qnode_on_self[rw] is used.  For the latter, the child's
->qnode_on_parent[rw].

Note that this means that the child which is contributing a bio to its
parent should stay pinned until all its bios are dispatched to its
grand-parent.  This patch moves blkg refcnting from bio add/remove
spots to qnode activation/deactivation so that the blkg containing an
active qnode is always pinned.  As child pins the parent, this is
sufficient for keeping the relevant sub-tree pinned while bios are in
flight.

The starvation issue was spotted by Vivek Goyal.

v2: The original patch used the same throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent
    for reads and writes causing RWs to be queued incorrectly if there
    already are outstanding IOs in the other direction.  They should
    be throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent[2] so that READs and WRITEs
    can use different qnodes.  Spotted by Vivek Goyal.

Tejun Heo 2e48a530a3 blk-throttle: make throtl_pending_timer_fn() ready for hierarchy
throtl_pending_timer_fn() currently assumes that the parent_sq is the

however, this assumption will be wrong with proper hierarchy support.
This patch makes the following changes to make
throtl_pending_timer_fn() ready for hiearchy.

* If the parent_sq isn't the top-level one, update the parent
  throtl_grp's dispatch time and schedule the next dispatch as
  necessary.  If the parent's dispatch time is now, repeat the
  function for the parent throtl_grp.

* If the parent_sq is the top-level one, kick issue work_item as
  before.

* The debug message printed by throtl_log() now prints out the
  service_queue's nr_queued[] instead of the total nr_queued as the
  latter becomes uninteresting and misleading with hierarchical
  dispatch.

tg_dispatch_one_bio() currently assumes that the parent_sq is the top
level one and the bio being dispatched is ready to be issued; however,
this assumption will be wrong with proper hierarchy support.  This
patch makes the following changes to make tg_dispatch_on_bio() ready

* throtl_data->nr_queued[] is incremented in blk_throtl_bio() instead
  of throtl_add_bio_tg() so that throtl_add_bio_tg() can be used to
  transfer a bio from a child tg to its parent.

* tg_dispatch_one_bio() is updated to distinguish whether its parent
  is another throtl_grp or the throtl_data.  If former, the bio is
  transferred to the parent throtl_grp using throtl_add_bio_tg().  If
  latter, the bio is ready to be issued and put on the top-level
  service_queue's bio_lists[] and throtl_data->nr_queued is
  decremented.

As all throtl_grps currently have the top level service_queue as their
->parent_sq, this patch in itself doesn't make any behavior
difference.

Tejun Heo 9e660acffc blk-throttle: make blk_throtl_bio() ready for hierarchy
Currently, blk_throtl_bio() issues the passed in bio directly if it's
within limits of its associated tg (throtl_grp).  This behavior
becomes incorrect with hierarchy support as the bio should be
accounted to and throttled by the ancestor throtl_grps too.

This patch makes the direct issue path of blk_throtl_bio() to loop
until it reaches the top-level service_queue or gets throttled.  If
the former, the bio can be issued directly; otherwise, it gets queued
at the first layer it was above limits.

As tg->parent_sq is always the top-level service queue currently, this
patch in itself doesn't make any behavior differences.

Tejun Heo 6e1a5704cb blk-throttle: dispatch from throtl_pending_timer_fn()
Currently, blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() is responsible for both
dispatching bio's from throtl_grp's according to their limits and then
issuing the dispatched bios.

This patch moves the dispatch part to throtl_pending_timer_fn() so
that the work item is kicked iff there are bio's to issue.  This is to
avoid work item execution at each step when hierarchy support is
enabled.  bio's will be dispatched towards the top-level service_queue
from the timers at each layer and the work item will only be used to
issue the bio's which reached the top-level service_queue.

While fetching bio's to issue from bio_lists[],
blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() fetches all READs before WRITEs.  While
the original code also dispatched READs first, if multiple throtl_grps
are dispatched on the same run, WRITEs from throtl_grp which is
dispatched first would precede READs from throtl_grps which are
dispatched later.  While this is a behavior change, given that the
previous code already prioritized READs and block layer generally
prioritizes and segregates READs from WRITEs, this isn't likely to
make any noticeable differences.

throtl_select_dispatch() only dispatches throtl_quantum bios on each
invocation.  blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() in turn depends on
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() scheduling the next dispatch window
immediately so that undue delays aren't incurred.  This effectively
chains multiple dispatch work item executions back-to-back when there
are more than throtl_quantum bios to dispatch on a given tick.

There is no reason to finish the current work item just to repeat it
immediately.  This patch makes throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() return
%false without doing anything if the current dispatch window is still
open and updates blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() repeat dispatching
after cpu_relax() on %false return.

This change will help implementing hierarchy support as dispatching
will be done from pending_timer and immediate reschedule of timer
function isn't supported and doesn't make much sense.

While this patch changes how dispatch behaves when there are more than
throtl_quantum bios to dispatch on a single tick, the behavior change
is immaterial.

Tejun Heo 69df0ab030 blk-throttle: separate out throtl_service_queue->pending_timer from throtl_data->dispatch_work
Currently, throtl_data->dispatch_work is a delayed_work item which
handles both delayed dispatch and issuing bios.  The two tasks will be
separated to support proper hierarchy.  To prepare for that, this
patch separates out the timer into throtl_service_queue->pending_timer
from throtl_data->dispatch_work and make the latter a work_struct.

* As the timer is now per-service_queue, it's initialized and
  del_sync'd as its corresponding service_queue is created and
  destroyed.  The timer, when triggered, simply schedules
  throtl_data->dispathc_work for execution.

* throtl_schedule_delayed_work() is renamed to
  throtl_schedule_pending_timer() and takes @sq and @expires now.

* Simiarly, throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() now takes @sq, which
  should be the parent_sq of the service_queue which just got a new
  bio or updated.  As the parent_sq is always the top-level
  service_queue now, this doesn't change anything at this point.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior differences.

Tejun Heo 2a0f61e6ec blk-throttle: set REQ_THROTTLED from throtl_charge_bio() and gate stats update with it
With proper hierarchy support, a bio can be dispatched multiple times
until it reaches the top-level service_queue and we don't want to
update dispatch stats at each step.  They are local stats and will be
kept local.  If recursive stats are necessary, they should be
implemented separately and definitely not by updating counters
recursively on each dispatch.

This patch moves REQ_THROTTLED setting to throtl_charge_bio() and gate
stats update with it so that dispatch stats are updated only on the
first time the bio is charged to a throtl_grp, which will always be
the throtl_grp the bio was originally queued to.

This means that REQ_THROTTLED would be set even for bios which don't
get throttled.  As we don't want bios to leave blk-throtl with the
flag set, move REQ_THROTLLED clearing to the end of blk_throtl_bio()
and clear if the bio is being issued directly.

Tejun Heo fda6f272c7 blk-throttle: implement sq_to_tg(), sq_to_td() and throtl_log()
Now that both throtl_data and throtl_grp embed throtl_service_queue,
we can unify throtl_log() and throtl_log_tg().

* sq_to_tg() is added.  This returns the throtl_grp a service_queue is
  embedded in.  If the service_queue is the top-level one embedded in
  throtl_data, NULL is returned.

* sq_to_td() is added.  A service_queue is always associated with a
  throtl_data.  This function finds the associated td and returns it.

* throtl_log() is updated to take throtl_service_queue instead of
  throtl_data.  If the service_queue is one embedded in throtl_grp, it
  prints the same header as throtl_log_tg() did.  If it's one embedded
  in throtl_data, it behaves the same as before.  This renders
  throtl_log_tg() unnecessary.  Removed.

This change is necessary for hierarchy support as we're gonna be using
the same code paths to dispatch bios to intermediate service_queues
embedded in throtl_grps and the top-level service_queue embedded in
throtl_data.

This patch doesn't make any behavior changes.

v2: throtl_log() didn't print a space after blkg path.  Updated so

Tejun Heo 0e9f4164ba blk-throttle: generalize update_disptime optimization in blk_throtl_bio()
When blk_throtl_bio() wants to queue a bio to a tg (throtl_grp), it
avoids invoking tg_update_disptime() and
throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() if the tg already has bios queued in
that direction.  As a new bio is appeneded after the existing ones, it
can't change the tg's next dispatch time or the parent's dispatch
schedule.

This optimization is currently open coded in blk_throtl_bio().
Whether the target biolist was occupied was recorded in a local
variable and later used to skip disptime update.  This patch moves
generalizes it so that throtl_add_bio_tg() sets a new flag
THROTL_TG_WAS_EMPTY if the biolist was empty before the new bio was
added.  tg_update_disptime() clears the flag automatically.
blk_throtl_bio() is updated to simply test the flag before updating
disptime.

This patch doesn't make any functional differences now but will enable
using the same optimization for recursive dispatch.

Tejun Heo 651930bc1c blk-throttle: dispatch to throtl_data->service_queue.bio_lists[]
throtl_service_queues will eventually form a tree which is anchored at

This patch makes the dispatch paths in blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn()

As bio's should be issued in a sleepable context,

queue_lock and issuing the bio's.

Tejun Heo 6a525600ff blk-throttle: remove pointless throtl_nr_queued() optimizations
throtl_nr_queued() is used in several places to avoid performing
certain operations when the throtl_data is empty.  This usually is
useless as those paths usually aren't traveled if there's no bio
queued.

* throtl_schedule_delayed_work() skips scheduling dispatch work item
  if @td doesn't have any bios queued; however, the only case it can
  be called when @td is empty is from tg_set_conf() which isn't
  something we should be optimizing for.

* throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() takes a quick exit if @td is empty;
  however, right after that it triggers BUG if the service tree is
  empty.  The two conditions are equivalent and it can just test
  @st->count for the quick exit.

* blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() skips dispatch if @td is empty.  This
  work function isn't usually invoked when @td is empty.  The only
  possibility is from tg_set_conf() and when it happens the normal
  dispatching path can handle empty @td fine.  No need to add special
  skip path.

This patch removes the above three unnecessary optimizations, which
leave throtl_log() call in blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() the only user
of throtl_nr_queued().  Remove throtl_nr_queued() and open code it in
throtl_log().  I don't think we need td->nr_queued[] at all.  Maybe we
can remove it later.

Tejun Heo 2a4fd070ee blkcg: move bulk of blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU callback
Currently, when the last reference of a blkcg_gq is put, all then
release operations sans the actual freeing happen directly in
blkg_put().  As blkg_put() may be called under queue_lock, all
pd_exit_fn()s may be too.  This makes it impossible for pd_exit_fn()s
to use del_timer_sync() on timers which grab the queue_lock which is
an irq-safe lock due to the deadlock possibility described in the
comment on top of del_timer_sync().

This can be easily avoided by perfoming the release operations in the
RCU callback instead of directly from blkg_put().  This patch moves
the blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU callback.

As this leaves __blkg_release() with only call_rcu() invocation,
blkg_rcu_free() is renamed to __blkg_release_rcu(), exported and
call_rcu() invocation is now done directly from blkg_put() instead of
going through __blkg_release() which is removed.

Currently, when creating a new blkcg_gq, each policy's pd_init_fn() is
invoked in blkg_alloc() before the parent is linked.  This makes it
difficult for policies to perform initializations which are dependent

This patch moves pd_init_fn() invocations to blkg_create() after the
parent blkg is linked where the new blkg is fully initialized.  As
this means that blkg_free() can't assume that pd's are initialized,
pd_exit_fn() invocations are moved to __blkg_release().  This
guarantees that pd_exit_fn() is also invoked with fully initialized
blkgs with valid parent pointers.

of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
