Christoph Hellwig 72deb455b5 block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF
Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit
architectures.  These types are required to support block device and/or
file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for
a long time.  Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig
size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use
64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway,
so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either.

Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that
has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used.

Masahiro Yamada 8636a1f967 treewide: surround Kconfig file paths with double quotes
The Kconfig lexer supports special characters such as '.' and '/' in
the parameter context. In my understanding, the reason is just to
support bare file paths in the source statement.

I do not see a good reason to complicate Kconfig for the room of
ambiguity.

The majority of code already surrounds file paths with double quotes,
and it makes sense since file paths are constant string literals.

Make it treewide consistent now.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 1306ad4e60 block: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s
'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

    ...
    One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
    the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

        config FOO
                bool

        config FOO
                bool
                default n

    With this change, neither of these will generate a
    '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
    That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
    redundant.

Bart Van Assche bca6b067b0 block: Move power management code into a new source file
Move the code for runtime power management from blk-core.c into the
new source file blk-pm.c. Move the corresponding declarations from
<linux/blkdev.h> into <linux/blk-pm.h>. For CONFIG_PM=n, leave out
the declarations of the functions that are not used in that mode.
This patch not only reduces the number of #ifdefs in the block layer
core code but also reduces the size of header file <linux/blkdev.h>
and hence should help to reduce the build time of the Linux kernel
if CONFIG_PM is not defined.

Josef Bacik d706751215 block: introduce blk-iolatency io controller
Current IO controllers for the block layer are less than ideal for our
use case.  The io.max controller is great at hard limiting, but it is
not work conserving.  This patch introduces io.latency.  You provide a
latency target for your group and we monitor the io in short windows to
make sure we are not exceeding those latency targets.  This makes use of
the rq-qos infrastructure and works much like the wbt stuff.  There are
a few differences from wbt

 - It's bio based, so the latency covers the whole block layer in addition to
   the actual io.
 - We will throttle all IO types that comes in here if we need to.
 - We use the mean latency over the 100ms window.  This is because writes can
   be particularly fast, which could give us a false sense of the impact of
   other workloads on our protected workload.
 - By default there's no throttling, we set the queue_depth to INT_MAX so that
   we can have as many outstanding bio's as we're allowed to.  Only at
   throttle time do we pay attention to the actual queue depth.
 - We backcharge cgroups for root cg issued IO and induce artificial
   delays in order to deal with cases like metadata only or swap heavy
   workloads.

In testing this has worked out relatively well.  Protected workloads
will throttle noisy workloads down to 1 io at time if they are doing
normal IO on their own, or induce up to a 1 second delay per syscall if
they are doing a lot of root issued IO (metadata/swap IO).

Our testing has revolved mostly around our production web servers where
we have hhvm (the web server application) in a protected group and
everything else in another group.  We see slightly higher requests per
second (RPS) on the test tier vs the control tier, and much more stable
RPS across all machines in the test tier vs the control tier.

Another test we run is a slow memory allocator in the unprotected group.
Before this would eventually push us into swap and cause the whole box
to die and not recover at all.  With these patches we see slight RPS
drops (usually 10-15%) before the memory consumer is properly killed and
things recover within seconds.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Linus Torvalds 0fcc3ab23d Merge branch 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
 "Incremental fixes and a small feature addition on top of the main
  libnvdimm 4.12 pull request:

   - Geert noticed that tinyconfig was bloated by BLOCK selecting DAX.
     The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the
     dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and
     dax-capable drivers. He also asked for clarification of the
     NR_DEV_DAX config option which, on closer look, does not need to be
     a config option at all. Mike also throws in a DEV_DAX_PMEM fixup
     for good measure.

   - Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a
     case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a
     condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged
     for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api
     to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13.

   - Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending
     review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when
     initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem
     namespace.

   - Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke
     __dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this
     path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing
     this before submitting the 4.12 pull request.

  These all pass the nvdimm unit tests and an xfstests spot check. The
  set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot"

Dan Williams ef51042472 block, dax: move "select DAX" from BLOCK to FS_DAX
For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not
require the DAX core to be built.

Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from
'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the
block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to
drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and
lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case.

Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

Linus Torvalds 53ef7d0e20 libnvdimm for 4.12
* Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent
 to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via
 the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces
 in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax"
 or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors
 generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This
 subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section
 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and
 submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices.
 
 * Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by
 a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax
 capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes
 the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a
 persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures
 and platforms to add customized persistent memory support.
 
 * 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
 available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory
 controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be
 flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh)
 mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included
 to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area
 is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes,
 also tagged for -stable.
 
 * ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add
 DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload
 debug available by default, and various fixes.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few
  late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last
  couple days, but the whole set has received a build success
  notification from the kbuild robot.

  Change summary:

   - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the
     parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been
     reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block
     devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that
     namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new
     interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of
     namespace modes or state.

     This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1
     Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error"
     requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus
     devices.

   - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted
     by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for
     dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations.
     This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are
     related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for
     other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent
     memory support.

   - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
     available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger
     memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would
     otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR
     (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event.
     Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from
     surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally,
     fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for
     -stable.

   - ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to
     add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM
     payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

  Acknowledgements that came after the branch was pushed:

Dan Williams b0686260fe dax: introduce dax_direct_access()
Replace bdev_direct_access() with dax_direct_access() that uses
dax_device and dax_operations instead of a block_device and
block_device_operations for dax. Once all consumers of the old api have
been converted bdev_direct_access() will be deleted.

Given that block device partitioning decisions can cause dax page
alignment constraints to be violated this also introduces the
bdev_dax_pgoff() helper. It handles calculating a logical pgoff relative
to the dax_device and also checks for page alignment.

Jens Axboe 87760e5eef block: hook up writeback throttling
Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot
more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity.
Background writeback should be, by definition, background
activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time
means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads,
which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that
we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence
of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback,
unless someone is waiting for it.

The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the
CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors
the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that
window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a
given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth
is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike
CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we
simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that
scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a
close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the
windows where we get good behavior.

Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This
happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive
scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window.
When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's
stable state of a zero scale count.

The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency
target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and
75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables
blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting.

We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have
a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup
on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with
that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will
rely on CFQ doing that for us.

Bart Van Assche 6a83e74d21 blk-mq: Introduce blk_mq_quiesce_queue()
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() waits until ongoing .queue_rq() invocations
have finished. This function does *not* wait until all outstanding
requests have finished (this means invocation of request.end_io()).
The algorithm used by blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is as follows:
* Hold either an RCU read lock or an SRCU read lock around
  .queue_rq() calls. The former is used if .queue_rq() does not
  block and the latter if .queue_rq() may block.
* blk_mq_quiesce_queue() first calls blk_mq_stop_hw_queues()
  followed by synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_rcu(). The latter
  call waits for .queue_rq() invocations that started before
  blk_mq_quiesce_queue() was called.
* The blk_mq_hctx_stopped() calls that control whether or not
  .queue_rq() will be called are called with the (S)RCU read lock
  held. This is necessary to avoid race conditions against
  blk_mq_quiesce_queue().

Mike Christie aa387cc895 block: add bsg helper library
This moves the FC classes bsg code to the block layer and
makes it a lib so that other classes like iscsi and SAS can use it.

It is helpful because working with the request queue, bios,
creating scatterlists, etc are a pain that the LLD does not
have to worry about with normal IOs and should not have to
worry about for bsg requests.

David Rientjes 6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Vivek Goyal afc24d49c1 blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangement
This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues.

o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from
  "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception.
  Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from
  there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers.

o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED.

  This option currently does two things.

  - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace
  - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat
    files in cgroup.

  If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use
  if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to
  also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of
  all the additional debug stat files which is not desired.

  Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under
  CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED.

  This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all
  the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which
  can be enabled through config menu.

Make Block Layer SG support v4 the default, since recent udev versions
depend on this to access serial numbers and other low level info properly.

This should be backported to older kernels as well, since most distros have

Rename CONFIG_LBD to CONFIG_LBDAF to:
- allow update of existing [def]configs for "default y" change
- reflect that it is used also for large files support nowadays

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz db29a6b496 block: enable by default support for large devices and files on 32-bit archs
Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD):

- With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB
  limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using
  CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1).

- This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue:
  mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature
  enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on
  machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue
  when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system
  running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.).

While at it:

- Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems
  (they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).
