Tejun Heo e8989fae38 blkcg: unify blkg's for blkcg policies
Currently, blkg is per cgroup-queue-policy combination.  This is
unnatural and leads to various convolutions in partially used
duplicate fields in blkg, config / stat access, and general management
of blkgs.

This patch make blkg's per cgroup-queue and let them serve all
policies.  blkgs are now created and destroyed by blkcg core proper.
This will allow further consolidation of common management logic into
blkcg core and API with better defined semantics and layering.

As a transitional step to untangle blkg management, elvswitch and
policy [de]registration, all blkgs except the root blkg are being shot
down during elvswitch and bypass.  This patch adds blkg_root_update()
to update root blkg in place on policy change.  This is hacky and racy
but should be good enough as interim step until we get locking
simplified and switch over to proper in-place update for all blkgs.

-v2: Root blkgs need to be updated on elvswitch too and blkg_alloc()
     comment wasn't updated according to the function change.  Fixed.
     Both pointed out by Vivek.

-v3: v2 updated blkg_destroy_all() to invoke update_root_blkg_pd() for
     all policies.  This freed root pd during elvswitch before the
     last queue finished exiting and led to oops.  Directly invoke
     update_root_blkg_pd() only on BLKIO_POLICY_PROP from
     cfq_exit_queue().  This also is closer to what will be done with
     proper in-place blkg update.  Reported by Vivek.

Tejun Heo 03aa264ac1 blkcg: let blkcg core manage per-queue blkg list and counter
With the previous patch to move blkg list heads and counters to
request_queue and blkg, logic to manage them in both policies are
almost identical and can be moved to blkcg core.

This patch moves blkg link logic into blkg_lookup_create(), implements
common blkg unlink code in blkg_destroy(), and updates
blkg_destory_all() so that it's policy specific and can skip root
group.  The updated blkg_destroy_all() is now used to both clear queue
for bypassing and elv switching, and release all blkgs on q exit.

This patch introduces a race window where policy [de]registration may
race against queue blkg clearing.  This can only be a problem on cfq
unload and shouldn't be a real problem in practice (and we have many
other places where this race already exists).  Future patches will
remove these unlikely races.

Tejun Heo 4eef304998 blkcg: move per-queue blkg list heads and counters to queue and blkg
Currently, specific policy implementations are responsible for
maintaining list and number of blkgs.  This duplicates code
unnecessarily, and hinders factoring common code and providing blkcg
API with better defined semantics.

After this patch, request_queue hosts list heads and counters and blkg
has list nodes for both policies.  This patch only relocates the
necessary fields and the next patch will actually move management code
into blkcg core.

Note that request_queue->blkg_list[] and ->nr_blkgs[] are hardcoded to
have 2 elements.  This is to avoid include dependency and will be
removed by the next patch.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

-v2: Now unnecessary conditional on CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_MODULE removed
     as pointed out by Vivek.

Tejun Heo c1768268f9 blkcg: don't use blkg->plid in stat related functions
blkg is scheduled to be unified for all policies and thus there won't
be one-to-one mapping from blkg to policy.  Update stat related
functions to take explicit @pol or @plid arguments and not use
blkg->plid.

This is painful for now but most of specific stat interface functions
will be replaced with a handful of generic helpers.

Tejun Heo 0381411e4b blkcg: let blkcg core handle policy private data allocation
Currently, blkg's are embedded in private data blkcg policy private
data structure and thus allocated and freed by policies.  This leads
to duplicate codes in policies, hinders implementing common part in
blkcg core with strong semantics, and forces duplicate blkg's for the
same cgroup-q association.

This patch introduces struct blkg_policy_data which is a separate data
structure chained from blkg.  Policies specifies the amount of private
data it needs in its blkio_policy_type->pdata_size and blkcg core
takes care of allocating them along with blkg which can be accessed
using blkg_to_pdata().  blkg can be determined from pdata using
pdata_to_blkg().  blkio_alloc_group_fn() method is accordingly updated
to blkio_init_group_fn().

For consistency, tg_of_blkg() and cfqg_of_blkg() are replaced with
blkg_to_tg() and blkg_to_cfqg() respectively, and functions to map in
the reverse direction are added.

Except that policy specific data now lives in a separate data
structure from blkg, this patch doesn't introduce any functional
difference.

This will be used to unify blkg's for different policies.

Tejun Heo 7ee9c56205 blkcg: let blkio_group point to blkio_cgroup directly
Currently, blkg points to the associated blkcg via its css_id.  This
unnecessarily complicates dereferencing blkcg.  Let blkg hold a
reference to the associated blkcg and point directly to it and disable
css_id on blkio_subsys.

This change requires splitting blkiocg_destroy() into
blkiocg_pre_destroy() and blkiocg_destroy() so that all blkg's can be
destroyed and all the blkcg references held by them dropped during
cgroup removal.

Tejun Heo 7a4dd281ec blkcg: kill the mind-bending blkg->dev
blkg->dev is dev_t recording the device number of the block device for
the associated request_queue.  It is used to identify the associated
block device when printing out configuration or stats.

This is redundant to begin with.  A blkg is an association between a
cgroup and a request_queue and it of course is possible to reach
request_queue from blkg and synchronization conventions are in place
for safe q dereferencing, so this shouldn't be necessary from the
beginning.  Furthermore, it's initialized by sscanf()ing the device
name of backing_dev_info.  The mind boggles.

Anyways, if blkg is visible under rcu lock, we *know* that the
associated request_queue hasn't gone away yet and its bdi is
registered and alive - blkg can't be created for request_queue which
hasn't been fully initialized and it can't go away before blkg is
removed.

Let stat and conf read functions get device name from
blkg->q->backing_dev_info.dev and pass it down to printing functions
and remove blkg->dev.

Tejun Heo e56da7e287 blkcg: don't allow or retain configuration of missing devices
blkcg is very peculiar in that it allows setting and remembering
configurations for non-existent devices by maintaining separate data
structures for configuration.

This behavior is completely out of the usual norms and outright
confusing; furthermore, it uses dev_t number to match the
configuration to devices, which is unpredictable to begin with and
becomes completely unuseable if EXT_DEVT is fully used.

It is wholely unnecessary - we already have fully functional userland
mechanism to program devices being hotplugged which has full access to
device identification, connection topology and filesystem information.

Add a new struct blkio_group_conf which contains all blkcg
configurations to blkio_group and let blkio_group, which can be
created iff the associated device exists and is removed when the
associated device goes away, carry all configurations.

Note that, after this patch, all newly created blkg's will always have
the default configuration (unlimited for throttling and blkcg's weight
for propio).

This patch makes blkio_policy_node meaningless but doesn't remove it.
The next patch will.

-v2: Updated to retry after short sleep if blkg lookup/creation failed

Tejun Heo cd1604fab4 blkcg: factor out blkio_group creation
Currently both blk-throttle and cfq-iosched implement their own
blkio_group creation code in throtl_get_tg() and cfq_get_cfqg().  This
patch factors out the common code into blkg_lookup_create(), which
returns ERR_PTR value so that transitional failures due to queue
bypass can be distinguished from other failures.

* New plkio_policy_ops methods blkio_alloc_group_fn() and
  blkio_link_group_fn added.  Both are transitional and will be
  removed once the blkg management code is fully moved into
  blk-cgroup.c.

* blkio_alloc_group_fn() allocates policy-specific blkg which is
  usually a larger data structure with blkg as the first entry and
  intiailizes it.  Note that initialization of blkg proper, including
  percpu stats, is responsibility of blk-cgroup proper.

  Note that default config (weight, bps...) initialization is done
  from this method; otherwise, we end up violating locking order
  between blkcg and q locks via blkcg_get_CONF() functions.

* blkio_link_group_fn() is called under queue_lock and responsible for
  linking the blkg to the queue.  blkcg side is handled by blk-cgroup
  proper.

* The common blkg creation function is named blkg_lookup_create() and
  blkiocg_lookup_group() is renamed to blkg_lookup() for consistency.
  Also, throtl / cfq related functions are similarly [re]named for
  consistency.

This simplifies blkcg policy implementations and enables further
cleanup.

-v2: Vivek noticed that blkg_lookup_create() incorrectly tested
     blk_queue_dead() instead of blk_queue_bypass() leading a user of
     the function ending up creating a new blkg on bypassing queue.
     This is a bug introduced while relocating bypass patches before
     this one.  Fixed.

-v3: ERR_PTR patch folded into this one.  @for_root added to
     blkg_lookup_create() to allow creating root group on a bypassed
     queue during elevator switch.

Tejun Heo 72e06c2551 blkcg: shoot down blkio_groups on elevator switch
Elevator switch may involve changes to blkcg policies.  Implement
shoot down of blkio_groups.

Combined with the previous bypass updates, the end goal is updating
blkcg core such that it can ensure that blkcg's being affected become
quiescent and don't have any per-blkg data hanging around before
commencing any policy updates.  Until queues are made aware of the
policies that applies to them, as an interim step, all per-policy blkg
data will be shot down.

* blk-throtl doesn't need this change as it can't be disabled for a
  live queue; however, update it anyway as the scheduled blkg
  unification requires this behavior change.  This means that
  blk-throtl configuration will be unnecessarily lost over elevator
  switch.  This oddity will be removed after blkcg learns to associate
  individual policies with request_queues.

* blk-throtl dosen't shoot down root_tg.  This is to ease transition.
  Unified blkg will always have persistent root group and not shooting
  down root_tg for now eases transition to that point by avoiding
  having to update td->root_tg and is safe as blk-throtl can never be
  disabled

-v2: Vivek pointed out that group list is not guaranteed to be empty
     on return from clear function if it raced cgroup removal and
     lost.  Fix it by waiting a bit and retrying.  This kludge will
     soon be removed once locking is updated such that blkg is never
     in limbo state between blkcg and request_queue locks.

     blk-throtl no longer shoots down root_tg to avoid breaking
     td->root_tg.

     Also, Nest queue_lock inside blkio_list_lock not the other way
     around to avoid introduce possible deadlock via blkcg lock.

-v3: blkcg_clear_queue() repositioned and renamed to
     blkg_destroy_all() to increase consistency with later changes.
     cfq_clear_queue() updated to check q->elevator before
     dereferencing it to avoid NULL dereference on not fully
     initialized queues (used by later change).

Tejun Heo 32e380aedc blkcg: make CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP bool
Block cgroup core can be built as module; however, it isn't too useful
as blk-throttle can only be built-in and cfq-iosched is usually the
default built-in scheduler.  Scheduled blkcg cleanup requires calling
into blkcg from block core.  To simplify that, disallow building blkcg
as module by making CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP bool.

If building blkcg core as module really matters, which I doubt, we can
revisit it after blkcg API cleanup.

Vivek Goyal 70087dc38c blk-throttle: Use task_subsys_state() to determine a task's blkio_cgroup
Currentlly we first map the task to cgroup and then cgroup to
blkio_cgroup. There is a more direct way to get to blkio_cgroup
from task using task_subsys_state(). Use that.

The real reason for the fix is that it also avoids a race in generic
cgroup code. During remount/umount rebind_subsystems() is called and
it can do following with and rcu protection.

cgrp->subsys[i] = NULL;

That means if somebody got hold of cgroup under rcu and then it tried
to do cgroup->subsys[] to get to blkio_cgroup, it would get NULL which
is wrong. I was running into this race condition with ltp running on a
upstream derived kernel and that lead to crash.

So ideally we should also fix cgroup generic code to wait for rcu
grace period before setting pointer to NULL. Li Zefan is not very keen
on introducing synchronize_wait() as he thinks it will slow
down moun/remount/umount operations.

So for the time being atleast fix the kernel crash by taking a more
direct route to blkio_cgroup.

One tester had reported a crash while running LTP on a derived kernel
and with this fix crash is no more seen while the test has been
running for over 6 days.

o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and
  the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group.

o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling.
  Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount
  a disk can wait for a very long time.

o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if
  user increases the read limit later.

o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate
  the bio dispatch time according to new limits.

o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake
  up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some
  variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to
  make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of
  memory barrier code especially will help.

  - 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.

Vivek Goyal e5ff082e8a blkio: Fix another BUG_ON() crash due to cfqq movement across groups
o Once in a while, I was hitting a BUG_ON() in blkio code. empty_time was
  assuming that upon slice expiry, group can't be marked empty already (except
  forced dispatch).

  But this assumption is broken if cfqq can move (group_isolation=0) across
  groups after receiving a request.

  I think most likely in this case we got a request in a cfqq and accounted
  the rq in one group, later while adding the cfqq to tree, we moved the queue
  to a different group which was already marked empty and after dispatch from
  slice we found group already marked empty and raised alarm.

  This patch does not error out if group is already marked empty. This can
  introduce some empty_time stat error only in case of group_isolation=0. This
  is better than crashing. In case of group_isolation=1 we should still get
  same stats as before this patch.

Gui Jianfeng 34d0f179d6 io-controller: Add a new interface "weight_device" for IO-Controller
Currently, IO Controller makes use of blkio.weight to assign weight for
all devices. Here a new user interface "blkio.weight_device" is introduced to
assign different weights for different devices. blkio.weight becomes the
default value for devices which are not configured by "blkio.weight_device"

You can use the following format to assigned specific weight for a given
device:
#echo "major:minor weight" > blkio.weight_device

major:minor represents device number.

And you can remove weight for a given device as following:
#echo "major:minor 0" > blkio.weight_device

V1->V2 changes:
- use user interface "weight_device" instead of "policy" suggested by Vivek
- rename some struct suggested by Vivek
- rebase to 2.6-block "for-linus" branch
- remove an useless list_empty check pointed out by Li Zefan
- some trivial typo fix

V2->V3 changes:
- Move policy_*_node() functions up to get rid of forward declarations
- rename related functions by adding prefix "blkio_"

Divyesh Shah 812df48d12 blkio: Add more debug-only per-cgroup stats
1) group_wait_time - This is the amount of time the cgroup had to wait to get a
  timeslice for one of its queues from when it became busy, i.e., went from 0
  to 1 request queued. This is different from the io_wait_time which is the
  cumulative total of the amount of time spent by each IO in that cgroup waiting
  in the scheduler queue. This stat is a great way to find out any jobs in the
  fleet that are being starved or waiting for longer than what is expected (due
  to an IO controller bug or any other issue).
2) empty_time - This is the amount of time a cgroup spends w/o any pending
   requests. This stat is useful when a job does not seem to be able to use its
   assigned disk share by helping check if that is happening due to an IO
   controller bug or because the job is not submitting enough IOs.
3) idle_time - This is the amount of time spent by the IO scheduler idling
   for a given cgroup in anticipation of a better request than the exising ones
   from other queues/cgroups.

All these stats are recorded using start and stop events. When reading these
stats, we do not add the delta between the current time and the last start time
if we're between the start and stop events. We avoid doing this to make sure
that these numbers are always monotonically increasing when read. Since we're
using sched_clock() which may use the tsc as its source, it may induce some
inconsistency (due to tsc resync across cpus) if we included the current delta.

These stats are useful for getting a feel for the queue depth of the cgroup,
i.e., how filled up its queues are at a given instant and over the existence of
the cgroup. This ability is useful when debugging problems in the wild as it
helps understand the application's IO pattern w/o having to read through the
userspace code (coz its tedious or just not available) or w/o the ability
to run blktrace (since you may not have root access and/or not want to disturb
performance).

Divyesh Shah 812d402648 blkio: Add io_merged stat
This includes both the number of bios merged into requests belonging to this
cgroup as well as the number of requests merged together.
In the past, we've observed different merging behavior across upstream kernels,
some by design some actual bugs. This stat helps a lot in debugging such
problems when applications report decreased throughput with a new kernel
version.

This needed adding an extra elevator function to capture bios being merged as I
did not want to pollute elevator code with blkiocg knowledge and hence needed
the accounting invocation to come from CFQ.

o Added stats description in patch description and
  Documentation/cgroup/blkio-controller.txt
o Prefix all stats functions with blkio and make them static as applicable
o replace IO_TYPE_MAX with IO_TYPE_TOTAL
o Moved #define constant to top of blk-cgroup.c

o One of the goals of block IO controller is that it should be able to
  support mulitple io control policies, some of which be operational at
  higher level in storage hierarchy.

o To begin with, we had one io controlling policy implemented by CFQ, and
  I hard coded the CFQ functions called by blkio. This created issues when
  CFQ is compiled as module.

o This patch implements a basic dynamic io controlling policy registration
  functionality in blkio. This is similar to elevator functionality where
  ioschedulers register the functions dynamically.

o Now in future, when more IO controlling policies are implemented, these
  can dynakically register with block IO controller.
