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.

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.

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.

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.

Currently, blk_throtl_bio() issues the passed in bio directly if it's

This patch makes the direct issue path of blk_throtl_bio() to loop

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

Currently, throtl_data->dispatch_work is a delayed_work item which

* 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

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.

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

Currently, when the last reference of a blkcg_gq is put, all then

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Fixes and a lot of cleanups. Locking cleanup is finally complete.
cgroup_mutex is no longer exposed to individual controlelrs which
used to cause nasty deadlock issues. Li fixed and cleaned up quite a
bit including long standing ones like racy cgroup_path().
- device cgroup now supports proper hierarchy thanks to Aristeu.
- perf_event cgroup now supports proper hierarchy.
- A new mount option "__DEVEL__sane_behavior" is added. As indicated
by the name, this option is to be used for development only at this
point and generates a warning message when used. Unfortunately,
cgroup interface currently has too many brekages and inconsistencies
to implement a consistent and unified hierarchy on top. The new flag
is used to collect the behavior changes which are necessary to
implement consistent unified hierarchy. It's likely that this flag
won't be used verbatim when it becomes ready but will be enabled
implicitly along with unified hierarchy.
The option currently disables some of broken behaviors in cgroup core
and also .use_hierarchy switch in memcg (will be routed through -mm),
which can be used to make very unusual hierarchy where nesting is
partially honored. It will also be used to implement hierarchy
support for blk-throttle which would be impossible otherwise without
introducing a full separate set of control knobs.
This is essentially versioning of interface which isn't very nice but
at this point I can't see any other options which would allow keeping
the interface the same while moving towards hierarchy behavior which
is at least somewhat sane. The planned unified hierarchy is likely
to require some level of adaptation from userland anyway, so I think
it'd be best to take the chance and update the interface such that
it's supportable in the long term.
Maintaining the existing interface does complicate cgroup core but
shouldn't put too much strain on individual controllers and I think
it'd be manageable for the foreseeable future. Maybe we'll be able
to drop it in a decade.
Fix up conflicts (including a semantic one adding a new #include to ppc
that was uncovered by header the file changes) as per Tejun.

This reverts commit 3a366e614d.
Wanlong Gao reports that it causes a kernel panic on his machine several
minutes after boot. Reverting it removes the panic.
Jens says:
"It's not quite clear why that is yet, so I think we should just revert
the commit for 3.9 final (which I'm assuming is pretty close).
The wifi is crap at the LSF hotel, so sending this email instead of
queueing up a revert and pull request."

Now that devtmpfs is caring about uid/gid, we need to use the correct

Some drivers want to tell userspace what uid and gid should be used for
their device nodes, so allow that information to percolate through the
driver core to userspace in order to make this happen. This means that
some systems (i.e. Android and friends) will not need to even run a
udev-like daemon for their device node manager and can just rely in
devtmpfs fully, reducing their footprint even more.

This reverts commit 8761a3dc1f.
There are situations where the destruction path is called
with the bdev->bd_mutex already held, which then deadlocks in
loop_clr_fd(). The normal partition cleanup does a trylock()
on the mutex, but it'd be nice to have a more bullet proof
method in loop. So punt this more involved fix to the next
merge window, and just back out this buggy fix for now.

As found by gcc-4.8, the QUEUE_SYSFS_BIT_FNS macro creates functions
that use a value generated by queue_var_store independent of whether
that value was set or not.
block/blk-sysfs.c: In function 'queue_store_nonrot':
block/blk-sysfs.c:244:385: warning: 'val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
Unlike most other such warnings, this one is not a false positive,
writing any non-number string into the sysfs files indeed has
an undefined result, rather than returning an error.

This is the pull request for the earlier patchset[1] with the same
name. It's only three patches (the first one was committed to
workqueue tree) but the merge strategy is a bit involved due to the
dependencies.
* Because the conversion needs features from wq/for-3.10,
block/for-3.10/core is based on rc3, and wq/for-3.10 has conflicts
with rc3, I pulled mainline (rc5) into wq/for-3.10 to prevent those
workqueue conflicts from flaring up in block tree.
* Resolving the issue that Jan and Dave raised about debugging
requires arch-wide changes. The patchset is being worked on[2] but
it'll have to go through -mm after these changes show up in -next,
and not included in this pull request.
The three commits are located in the following git branch.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git writeback-workqueue
Pulling it into block/for-3.10/core produces a conflict in
drivers/md/raid5.c between the following two commits.
e3620a3ad5 ("MD RAID5: Avoid accessing gendisk or queue structs when not available")
2f6db2a707 ("raid5: use bio_reset()")
The conflict is trivial - one removes an "if ()" conditional while the
other removes "rbi->bi_next = NULL" right above it. We just need to
remove both. The merged branch is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq.git block-test-merge
so that you can use it for verification. The test merge commit has
proper merge description.
While these changes are a bit of pain to route, they make code simpler
and even have, while minute, measureable performance gain[3] even on a
workload which isn't particularly favorable to showing the benefits of
this conversion.

Just a little convenience macro - main reason to add it now is preparing

Converts it to use bio_advance(), simplifying it quite a bit in the
process.
Note that req_bio_endio() now always calls bio_advance() - which means
it always loops over the biovec, not just on partial completions. Don't
expect it to affect performance, but worth noting.
Tested it by forcing partial updates, and dumping before and after on
various bio/bvec fields when doing a partial update.
