Tejun Heo 689665af44 cfq-iosched: separate out cfqg_stats_reset() from cfq_pd_reset_stats()
Separate out cfqg_stats_reset() which takes struct cfqg_stats * from
cfq_pd_reset_stats() and move the latter to where other pd methods are
defined.  cfqg_stats_reset() will be used to implement hierarchical
stats.

Tejun Heo 810ecfa765 blkcg: make blkcg_print_blkgs() grab q locks instead of blkcg lock
Instead of holding blkcg->lock while walking ->blkg_list and executing
prfill(), RCU walk ->blkg_list and hold the blkg's queue lock while
executing prfill().  This makes prfill() implementations easier as
stats are mostly protected by queue lock.

This will be used to implement hierarchical stats.

Tejun Heo 16b3de6652 blkcg: implement blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() and blkg_[rw]stat_merge()
Implement blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() and blkg_[rw]stat_merge().
The former two collect the [rw]stats designated by the target policy
data and offset from the pd's subtree.  The latter two add one
[rw]stat to another.

Note that the recursive sum functions require the queue lock to be
held on entry to make blkg online test reliable.  This is necessary to
properly handle stats of a dying blkg.

These will be used to implement hierarchical stats.

Tejun Heo d02f7aa8dc cfq-iosched: enable full blkcg hierarchy support
With the previous two patches, all cfqg scheduling decisions are based
on vfraction and ready for hierarchy support.  The only thing which
keeps the behavior flat is cfqg_flat_parent() which makes vfraction
calculation consider all non-root cfqgs children of the root cfqg.

Replace it with cfqg_parent() which returns the real parent.  This
enables full blkcg hierarchy support for cfq-iosched.  For example,
consider the following hierarchy.

        root
      /      \
   A:500      B:250
  /     \
 AA:500  AB:1000

For simplicity, let's say all the leaf nodes have active tasks and are
on service tree.  For each leaf node, vfraction would be

 AA: (500  / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.2222
 AB: (1000 / 1500) * (500 / 750) =~ 0.4444
  B:                 (250 / 750) =~ 0.3333

and vdisktime will be distributed accordingly.  For more detail,
please refer to Documentation/block/cfq-iosched.txt.

v2: cfq-iosched.txt updated to describe group scheduling as suggested
    by Vivek.

v3: blkio-controller.txt updated.

Tejun Heo 41cad6ab2c cfq-iosched: convert cfq_group_slice() to use cfqg->vfraction
cfq_group_slice() calculates slice by taking a fraction of
cfq_target_latency according to the ratio of cfqg->weight against
service_tree->total_weight.  This currently works only because all
cfqgs are treated to be at the same level.

To prepare for proper hierarchy support, convert cfq_group_slice() to
base the calculation on cfqg->vfraction.  As cfqg->vfraction is always
a fraction of 1 and represents the fraction allocated to the cfqg with
hierarchy considered, the slice can be simply calculated by
multiplying cfqg->vfraction to cfq_target_latency (with fixed point
shift factored in).

As vfraction calculation currently treats all non-root cfqgs as
children of the root cfqg, this patch doesn't introduce noticeable
behavior difference.

Tejun Heo 1d3650f713 cfq-iosched: implement hierarchy-ready cfq_group charge scaling
Currently, cfqg charges are scaled directly according to cfqg->weight.
Regardless of the number of active cfqgs or the amount of active
weights, a given weight value always scales charge the same way.  This
works fine as long as all cfqgs are treated equally regardless of
their positions in the hierarchy, which is what cfq currently
implements.  It can't work in hierarchical settings because the
interpretation of a given weight value depends on where the weight is
located in the hierarchy.

This patch reimplements cfqg charge scaling so that it can be used to
support hierarchy properly.  The scheme is fairly simple and
light-weight.

* When a cfqg is added to the service tree, v(disktime)weight is
  calculated.  It walks up the tree to root calculating the fraction
  it has in the hierarchy.  At each level, the fraction can be
  calculated as

    cfqg->weight / parent->level_weight

  By compounding these, the global fraction of vdisktime the cfqg has
  claim to - vfraction - can be determined.

* When the cfqg needs to be charged, the charge is scaled inversely
  proportionally to the vfraction.

The new scaling scheme uses the same CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT for fixed point
representation as before; however, the smallest scaling factor is now
1 (ie. 1 << CFQ_SERVICE_SHIFT).  This is different from before where 1
was for CFQ_WEIGHT_DEFAULT and higher weight would result in smaller
scaling factor.

While this shifts the global scale of vdisktime a bit, it doesn't
change the relative relationships among cfqgs and the scheduling
result isn't different.

cfq_group_notify_queue_add uses fixed CFQ_IDLE_DELAY when appending
new cfqg to the service tree.  The specific value of CFQ_IDLE_DELAY
didn't have any relevance to vdisktime before and is unlikely to cause
any visible behavior difference now especially as the scale shift
isn't that large.

As the new scheme now makes proper distinction between cfqg->weight
and ->leaf_weight, reverse the weight aliasing for root cfqgs.  For
root, both weights are now mapped to ->leaf_weight instead of the
other way around.

Because we're still using cfqg_flat_parent(), this patch shouldn't
change the scheduling behavior in any noticeable way.

v2: Beefed up comments on vfraction as requested by Vivek.

Tejun Heo 7918ffb5b8 cfq-iosched: implement cfq_group->nr_active and ->children_weight
To prepare for blkcg hierarchy support, add cfqg->nr_active and
->children_weight.  cfqg->nr_active counts the number of active cfqgs
at the cfqg's level and ->children_weight is sum of weights of those
cfqgs.  The level covers itself (cfqg->leaf_weight) and immediate
children.

The two values are updated when a cfqg enters and leaves the group
service tree.  Unless the hierarchy is very deep, the added overhead
should be negligible.

Currently, the parent is determined using cfqg_flat_parent() which
makes the root cfqg the parent of all other cfqgs.  This is to make
the transition to hierarchy-aware scheduling gradual.  Scheduling
logic will be converted to use cfqg->children_weight without actually
changing the behavior.  When everything is ready,
blkcg_weight_parent() will be replaced with proper parent function.

This patch doesn't introduce any behavior chagne.

Tejun Heo e71357e118 cfq-iosched: add leaf_weight
cfq blkcg is about to grow proper hierarchy handling, where a child
blkg's weight would nest inside the parent's.  This makes tasks in a
blkg to compete against both tasks in the sibling blkgs and the tasks
of child blkgs.

We're gonna use the existing weight as the group weight which decides
the blkg's weight against its siblings.  This patch introduces a new
weight - leaf_weight - which decides the weight of a blkg against the
child blkgs.

It's named leaf_weight because another way to look at it is that each
internal blkg nodes have a hidden child leaf node which contains all
its tasks and leaf_weight is the weight of the leaf node and handled
the same as the weight of the child blkgs.

This patch only adds leaf_weight fields and exposes it to userland.
The new weight isn't actually used anywhere yet.  Note that
cfq-iosched currently offcially supports only single level hierarchy
and root blkgs compete with the first level blkgs - ie. root weight is
basically being used as leaf_weight.  For root blkgs, the two weights
are kept in sync for backward compatibility.

v2: cfqd->root_group->leaf_weight initialization was missing from
    cfq_init_queue() causing divide by zero when
    !CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_SCHED.  Fix it.  Reported by Fengguang.

Tejun Heo 3c54786590 blkcg: make blkcg_gq's hierarchical
Currently a child blkg (blkcg_gq) can be created even if its parent
doesn't exist.  ie. Given a blkg, it's not guaranteed that its
ancestors will exist.  This makes it difficult to implement proper
hierarchy support for blkcg policies.

Always create blkgs recursively and make a child blkg hold a reference
to its parent.  blkg->parent is added so that finding the parent is
easy.  blkcg_parent() is also added in the process.

This change can be visible to userland.  e.g. while issuing IO in a
nested cgroup didn't affect the ancestors at all, now it will
initialize all ancestor blkgs and zero stats for the request_queue
will always appear on them.  While this is userland visible, this
shouldn't cause any functional difference.

Tejun Heo 86cde6b623 blkcg: reorganize blkg_lookup_create() and friends
Reorganize such that

* __blkg_lookup() takes bool param @update_hint to determine whether
  to update hint.

* __blkg_lookup_create() no longer performs lookup before trying to

* blkg_lookup_create() now performs lookup and then invokes
  blkg_create() if lookup fails.

* root_blkg creation in blkcg_activate_policy() updated accordingly.
  Note that blkcg_activate_policy() no longer updates lookup hint if
  root_blkg already exists.

Except for the last lookup hint bit which is immaterial, this is pure
reorganization and doesn't introduce any visible behavior change.
This is to prepare for proper hierarchy support.

Derek Basehore 12c2bdb232 block: prevent race/cleanup
Remove a race condition which causes a warning in disk_clear_events.  This
is a race between disk_clear_events() and disk_flush_events().
ev->clearing will be altered by disk_flush_events() even though we are
blocking event checking through disk_flush_events().  If this happens
after ev->clearing was cleared for disk_clear_events(), this can cause the
WARN_ON_ONCE() in that function to be triggered.

This change also has disk_clear_events() not go through a workqueue.
Since we have to wait for the work to complete, we should just call the
function directly.  Also, since this work cannot be put on a freezable
workqueue, it will have to contend with increased demand, so calling the
function directly avoids this.

Derek Basehore aea24a8bbc block: remove deadlock in disk_clear_events
In disk_clear_events, do not put work on system_nrt_freezable_wq.
Instead, put it on system_nrt_wq.

There is a race between probing a usb and suspending the device.  Since
probing a usb calls disk_clear_events, which puts work on a frozen
workqueue, probing cannot finish after the workqueue is frozen.  However,
suspending cannot finish until the usb probe is finished, so we get a
deadlock, causing the system to reboot.

The way to reproduce this bug is to wake up from suspend with a usb
storage device plugged in, or plugging in a usb storage device right
before suspend.  The window of time is on the order of time it takes to
probe the usb device.  As long as the workqueues are frozen before the
call to add_disk within sd_probe_async finishes, there will be a deadlock
(which calls blkdev_get, sd_open, check_disk_change, then
disk_clear_events).  This is not difficult to reproduce after figuring out
the timings.

Linus Torvalds 60da5bf47d Merge branch 'for-3.8/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Here are the core block IO bits for 3.8.  The branch contains:

   - The final version of the surprise device removal fixups from Bart.

   - Don't hide EFI partitions under advanced partition types.  It's
     fairly wide spread these days.  This is especially dangerous for
     systems that have both msdos and efi partition tables, where you
     want to keep them in sync.

   - Cleanup of using -1 instead of the proper NUMA_NO_NODE

   - Export control of bdi flusher thread CPU mask and default to using
     the home node (if known) from Jeff.

   - Export unplug tracepoint for MD.

   - Core improvements from Shaohua.  Reinstate the recursive merge, as
     the original bug has been fixed.  Add plugging for discard and also
     fix a problem handling non pow-of-2 discard limits.

  There's a trivial merge in block/blk-exec.c due to a fix that went
  into 3.7-rc at a later point than -rc4 where this is based."

Last post of this patch appears lost, so I resend this.

Now discard merge works, add plug for blkdev_issue_discard. This will help
discard request merge especially for raid0 case. In raid0, a big discard
request is split to small requests, and if correct plug is added, such small
requests can be merged in low layer.

Linus Torvalds d206e09036 Merge branch 'for-3.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup changes from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on cgroup side.  The big changes are focused on
  making cgroup hierarchy handling saner.

   - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
     destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
     drain refcnt synchronously.  The vetoing never worked properly and
     caused good deal of contortions in cgroup.  memcg was the last
     reamining user.  Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
     path has been simplified significantly.  This was done in a
     separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
     changes on top.

   - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
     implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
     improve hierarchy support.

   - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
     cgroup and handle hierarchy.  If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
     cgroups are frozen.

   - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
     properly.

   - Various fixes and cleanups.

   - Two merge commits.  One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
     to build iterators).  The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
     device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
     stacked on top."

Fixed up a trivial conflict in mm/memcontrol.c as per Tejun (due to
commit bea8c150a7 ("memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops") in master
touching code close to commit 2ef37d3fe4 ("memcg: Simplify

Diego Calleja 5f6f38dbb0 partitions: enable EFI/GPT support by default
The Kconfig currently enables MSDOS partitions by default because they
are assumed to be essential, but it's necessary to enable "advanced
partition selection" in order to get GPT support. IMO GPT partitions
are becoming common enought to deserve the same treatment MSDOS
partitions get.

(Side note: I got bit by a disk that had MSDOS and GPT partition
tables, but for some reason the MSDOS table was different from the
GPT one. I was stupid enought to disable "advanced partition
selection" in my .config, which disabled GPT partitioning and made
my btrfs pool unbootable because it couldn't find the partitions)

Bart Van Assche 24faf6f604 block: Make blk_cleanup_queue() wait until request_fn finished
Some request_fn implementations, e.g. scsi_request_fn(), unlock
the queue lock internally. This may result in multiple threads
executing request_fn for the same queue simultaneously. Keep
track of the number of active request_fn calls and make sure that
blk_cleanup_queue() waits until all active request_fn invocations
have finished. A block driver may start cleaning up resources
needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished,
so blk_cleanup_queue() must wait for all outstanding request_fn
invocations to finish.

Bart Van Assche 704605711e block: Avoid scheduling delayed work on a dead queue
Running a queue must continue after it has been marked dying until
it has been marked dead. So the function blk_run_queue_async() must
not schedule delayed work after blk_cleanup_queue() has marked a queue
dead. Hence add a test for that queue state in blk_run_queue_async()
and make sure that queue_unplugged() invokes that function with the
queue lock held. This avoids that the queue state can change after
it has been tested and before mod_delayed_work() is invoked. Drop
the queue dying test in queue_unplugged() since it is now
superfluous: __blk_run_queue() already tests whether or not the
queue is dead.

Bart Van Assche c246e80d86 block: Avoid that request_fn is invoked on a dead queue
A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its
request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn
must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important
when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress.
As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in
parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after
scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but
before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.

Bart Van Assche 3f3299d5c0 block: Rename queue dead flag
QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is used to indicate that queuing new requests must
stop. After this flag has been set queue draining starts. However,
during the queue draining phase it is still safe to invoke the
queue's request_fn, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is a better name for this
flag.

This patch has been generated by running the following command
over the kernel source tree:

git grep -lEw 'blk_queue_dead|QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD' |

Roland Dreier 893d290f1d block: Don't access request after it might be freed
After we've done __elv_add_request() and __blk_run_queue() in
blk_execute_rq_nowait(), the request might finish and be freed
immediately.  Therefore checking if the type is REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME
isn't safe afterwards, because if it isn't, rq might be gone.
Instead, check beforehand and stash the result in a temporary.

This fixes crashes in blk_execute_rq_nowait() I get occasionally when
running with lots of memory debugging options enabled -- I think this
race is usually harmless because the window for rq to be reallocated
is so small.

Stephen Warren d33b98fc82 block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitions
The MSDOS/MBR partition table includes a 32-bit unique ID, often referred
to as the NT disk signature.  When combined with a partition number within
the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's
partition UUID.  Constructing and recording this value in struct
partition_meta_info allows MSDOS partitions to be referred to on the
kernel command-line using the following syntax:

root=PARTUUID=0002dd75-01

This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true
UUIDs.  This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually
constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings.

Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
/PARTNROFF option was found to be present.  However, this modifies the
input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results.  In order to
avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.

request is queued in cfqq->fifo list. Looks it's possible we are moving a

the fifo list order doesn't make sense and is impossible if we don't iterate
the whole fifo list.

My test does hit one case the two cfqq are different, but didn't cause kernel
crash, maybe it's because fifo list isn't used frequently. Anyway, from the
code logic, this is buggy.

From above messages,we can find rq[W 7493144 + 104] and rq[W

The bio(7493144) first and bio(7493120) later.So the subsequent
bios will be divided into two parts.
When flushing plug-list,because elv_attempt_insert_merge only support
backmerge,not supporting frontmerge.
So rq[7493120 + 24] can't merge with rq[7493144 + 104].

From my test,i found those situation can count 25% in our system.
Using this patch, there is no this situation.

__blk_queue_next_rl() finds next request list based on blkg_list
while skipping root_blkg in the list.
OTOH, root_rl is special as it may exist even without root_blkg.

Though the later part of the function handles such a case correctly,
exiting early is good for readability of the code.

Jun'ichi Nomura 65635cbc37 blkcg: Fix use-after-free of q->root_blkg and q->root_rl.blkg
blk_put_rl() does not call blkg_put() for q->root_rl because we
don't take request list reference on q->root_blkg.
However, if root_blkg is once attached then detached (freed),
blk_put_rl() is confused by the bogus pointer in q->root_blkg.

For example, with !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING &&

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Stefan Weinhuber 46e8894786 s390/partitions: make partition detection independent from DASD ioctls
In some usage scenarios it is desireable to work with disk images or
virtualized DASD devices. One problem that prevents such applications
is the partition detection in ibm.c. Currently it works only for
devices that support the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl, in other words, it only
works for devices that belong to the DASD device driver.

The information gained from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl is only for a small
set of legacy cases abolutely necessary. All current VOL1, LNX1 and
CMS1 type of disk labels can be interpreted correctly without this
information, as long as the generic HDIO_GETGEO ioctl works and
provides a correct disk geometry.

This patch makes the ibm.c partition detection as independent as
possible from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl. Only the following two cases are
still restricted to real DASDs:
- An FBA DASD, or LDL formatted ECKD DASD without any disk label.
- An old style LNX1 label (without large volume support) on a disk
  with inconsistent device geometry.

Tejun Heo 749fefe677 block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of blk_init_allocated_queue()
b82d4b197c ("blkcg: make request_queue bypassing on allocation") made
request_queues bypassed on allocation to avoid switching on and off
bypass mode on a queue being initialized.  Some drivers allocate and
then destroy a lot of queues without fully initializing them and
incurring bypass latency overhead on each of them could add upto
significant overhead.

Unfortunately, blk_init_allocated_queue() is never used by queues of
bio-based drivers, which means that all bio-based driver queues are in
bypass mode even after initialization and registration complete
successfully.

Due to the limited way request_queues are used by bio drivers, this
problem is hidden pretty well but it shows up when blk-throttle is
used in combination with a bio-based driver.  Trying to configure
(echoing to cgroupfs file) blk-throttle for a bio-based driver hangs
indefinitely in blkg_conf_prep() waiting for bypass mode to end.

This patch moves the initial blk_queue_bypass_end() call from
blk_init_allocated_queue() to blk_register_queue() which is called for
any userland-visible queues regardless of its type.

I believe this is correct because I don't think there is any block
driver which needs or wants working elevator and blk-cgroup on a queue
which isn't visible to userland.  If there are such users, we need a
different solution.

Tejun Heo 8c7f6edbda cgroup: mark subsystems with broken hierarchy support and whine if cgroups are nested for them
Currently, cgroup hierarchy support is a mess.  cpu related subsystems
behave correctly - configuration, accounting and control on a parent
properly cover its children.  blkio and freezer completely ignore
hierarchy and treat all cgroups as if they're directly under the root
cgroup.  Others show yet different behaviors.

These differing interpretations of cgroup hierarchy make using cgroup
confusing and it impossible to co-mount controllers into the same
hierarchy and obtain sane behavior.

Eventually, we want full hierarchy support from all subsystems and
probably a unified hierarchy.  Users using separate hierarchies
expecting completely different behaviors depending on the mounted
subsystem is deterimental to making any progress on this front.

This patch adds cgroup_subsys.broken_hierarchy and sets it to %true
for controllers which are lacking in hierarchy support.  The goal of
this patch is two-fold.

* Move users away from using hierarchy on currently non-hierarchical
  subsystems, so that implementing proper hierarchy support on those
  doesn't surprise them.

* Keep track of which controllers are broken how and nudge the
  subsystems to implement proper hierarchy support.

For now, start with a single warning message.  We can whine louder
later on.

v2: Fixed a typo spotted by Michal. Warning message updated.

v3: Updated memcg part so that it doesn't generate warning in the
    cases where .use_hierarchy=false doesn't make the behavior
    different from root.use_hierarchy=true.  Fixed a typo spotted by
    Glauber.

v4: Check ->broken_hierarchy after cgroup creation is complete so that
    ->create() can affect the result per Michal.  Dropped unnecessary
    memcg root handling per Michal.

Instead of using simple_strtoul which "converts" invalid numbers to 0,
use strict_strtoul and perform error checking to ensure that userspace

such as writev, which might want to write a trailing newline -- the
newline should rightfully be rejected, but the value preceeding it
should be preserved.

Previously, there was bio_clone() but it only allocated from the fs bio
set; as a result various users were open coding it and using
__bio_clone().

This changes bio_clone() to become bio_clone_bioset(), and then we add
bio_clone() and bio_clone_kmalloc() as wrappers around it, making use of
the functionality the last patch adedd.

This will also help in a later patch changing how bio cloning works.

Now that we've got generic code for freeing bios allocated from bio
pools, this isn't needed anymore.

This patch also makes bio_free() static, since without bi_destructor
there should be no need for it to be called anywhere else.

bio_free() is now only called from bio_put, so we can refactor those a
bit - move some code from bio_put() to bio_free() and kill the redundant
bio->bi_next = NULL.

v5: Switch to BIO_KMALLOC_POOL ((void *)~0), per Boaz

Yi Zou 37d7b34f05 block: rate-limit the error message from failing commands
When performing a cable pull test w/ active stress I/O using fio over
a dual port Intel 82599 FCoE CNA, w/ 256LUNs on one port and about 32LUNs
on the other, it is observed that the system becomes not usable due to
scsi-ml being busy printing the error messages for all the failing commands.
I don't believe this problem is specific to FCoE and these commands are
anyway failing due to link being down (DID_NO_CONNECT), just rate-limit
the messages here to solve this issue.

v2->v1: use __ratelimit() as Tomas Henzl mentioned as the proper way for
rate-limit per function. However, in this case, the failed i/o gets to
blk_end_request_err() and then blk_update_request(), which also has to
be rate-limited, as added in the v2 of this patch.

v3-v2: resolved conflict to apply on current 3.6-rc3 upstream tip.

Tejun Heo 41f63c5359 workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of cancel + queue
Convert delayed_work users doing cancel_delayed_work() followed by
queue_delayed_work() to mod_delayed_work().

Most conversions are straight-forward.  Ones worth mentioning are,

* drivers/edac/edac_mc.c: edac_mc_workq_setup() converted to always
  use mod_delayed_work() and cancel loop in
  edac_mc_reset_delay_period() is dropped.

* drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c: No need to remember whether
  watchdog is active or not.  @fan_watchdog_active and related code
  dropped.

* drivers/power/charger-manager.c: Seemingly a lot of
  delayed_work_pending() abuse going on here.
  [delayed_]work_pending() are unsynchronized and racy when used like
  this.  I converted one instance in fullbatt_handler().  Please
  conver the rest so that it invokes workqueue APIs for the intended
  target state rather than trying to game work item pending state
  transitions.  e.g. if timer should be modified - call
  mod_delayed_work(), canceled - call cancel_delayed_work[_sync]().

* drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: thermal_zone_device_set_polling()
  simplified.  Note that round_jiffies() calls in this function are
  meaningless.  round_jiffies() work on absolute jiffies not delta
  delay used by delayed_work.

v2: Tomi pointed out that __cancel_delayed_work() users can't be
    safely converted to mod_delayed_work().  They could be calling it
    from irq context and if that happens while delayed_work_timer_fn()
    is running, it could deadlock.  __cancel_delayed_work() users are
    dropped.

Jianpeng Ma 0676806707 block: Don't use static to define "void *p" in show_partition_start()
I met a odd prblem:read /proc/partitions may return zero.

I wrote a file test.c:
int main()
{
	char buff[4096];
	int ret;
	int fd;
	printf("pid=%d\n",getpid());
	while (1) {
		fd = open("/proc/partitions", O_RDONLY);
		if (fd < 0) {
			printf("open error %s\n", strerror(errno));
			return 0;
		}
		ret = read(fd, buff, 4096);
		if (ret <= 0)
			printf("ret=%d, %s, %ld\n", ret,
				strerror(errno), lseek(fd,0,SEEK_CUR));
		close(fd);
	}
	exit(0);
}

You can reproduce by:
1:while true;do cat /proc/partitions > /dev/null ;done
2:./test

I reviewed the code and found:

>> static void *show_partition_start(struct seq_file *seqf, loff_t *pos)

Paolo Bonzini c6e666345e block: split discard into aligned requests
When a disk has large discard_granularity and small max_discard_sectors,
discards are not split with optimal alignment.  In the limit case of
discard_granularity == max_discard_sectors, no request could be aligned
correctly, so in fact you might end up with no discarded logical blocks
at all.

Another example that helps showing the condition in the patch is with
discard_granularity == 64, max_discard_sectors == 128.  A request that is
submitted for 256 sectors 2..257 will be split in two: 2..129, 130..257.
However, only 2 aligned blocks out of 3 are included in the request;
128..191 may be left intact and not discarded.  With this patch, the
first request will be truncated to ensure good alignment of what's left,
and the split will be 2..127, 128..255, 256..257.  The patch will also
take into account the discard_alignment.

At most one extra request will be introduced, because the first request
will be reduced by at most granularity-1 sectors, and granularity
must be less than max_discard_sectors.  Subsequent requests will run
on round_down(max_discard_sectors, granularity) sectors, as in the
current code.

Vivek Goyal c83f6bf98d block: add partition resize function to blkpg ioctl
Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.

This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.

Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().

v2: Add CONFIG_LBDAF test to UP preempt case as suggested by Phillip.

Reproducing is easy, I can hit it on a KVM system with a very basic
config (x86_64 make defconfig + enable the drivers needed). To hit it,
just install dump (on debian/ubuntu, not sure what the package might be
called on Fedora), and:

dump -o -f /tmp/foo /

You'll see the warning in dmesg once it forks off the I/O process and
starts dumping filesystem contents.

    block: add io_context->active_ref

    Currently ioc->nr_tasks is used to decide two things - whether an ioc
    is done issuing IOs and whether it's shared by multiple tasks.  This
    patch separate out the first into ioc->active_ref, which is acquired
    and released using {get|put}_io_context_active() respectively.

    This will be used to associate bio's with a given task.  This patch
    doesn't introduce any visible behavior change.

It seems like the init of ioc->nr_tasks was removed in that patch,
so it starts out at 0 instead of 1.

Tejun, is the right thing here to add back the init, or should something else
be done?

The below patch removes the warning, but I haven't done any more extensive
testing on it.

Mike Snitzer fe86cdcef7 block: do not artificially constrain max_sectors for stacking drivers
blk_set_stacking_limits is intended to allow stacking drivers to build
up the limits of the stacked device based on the underlying devices'
limits.  But defaulting 'max_sectors' to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (1024)
doesn't allow the stacking driver to inherit a max_sectors larger than
1024 -- due to blk_stack_limits' use of min_not_zero.

It is now clear that this artificial limit is getting in the way so
change blk_set_stacking_limits's max_sectors to UINT_MAX (which allows
stacking drivers like dm-multipath to inherit 'max_sectors' from the
underlying paths).

Muthukumar Ratty e81ca6fe85 [SCSI] block: Fix blk_execute_rq_nowait() dead queue handling
If the queue is dead blk_execute_rq_nowait() doesn't invoke the done()
callback function. That will result in blk_execute_rq() being stuck
in wait_for_completion(). Avoid this by initializing rq->end_io to the
done() callback before we check the queue state. Also, make sure the
queue lock is held around the invocation of the done() callback. Found
this through source code review.

Tejun Heo a051661ca6 blkcg: implement per-blkg request allocation
Currently, request_queue has one request_list to allocate requests
from regardless of blkcg of the IO being issued.  When the unified
request pool is used up, cfq proportional IO limits become meaningless
- whoever grabs the next request being freed wins the race regardless
of the configured weights.

This can be easily demonstrated by creating a blkio cgroup w/ very low
weight, put a program which can issue a lot of random direct IOs there
and running a sequential IO from a different cgroup.  As soon as the
request pool is used up, the sequential IO bandwidth crashes.

This patch implements per-blkg request_list.  Each blkg has its own
request_list and any IO allocates its request from the matching blkg
making blkcgs completely isolated in terms of request allocation.

* Root blkcg uses the request_list embedded in each request_queue,
  which was renamed to @q->root_rl from @q->rq.  While making blkcg rl
  handling a bit harier, this enables avoiding most overhead for root
  blkcg.

* Queue fullness is properly per request_list but bdi isn't blkcg
  aware yet, so congestion state currently just follows the root
  blkcg.  As writeback isn't aware of blkcg yet, this works okay for
  async congestion but readahead may get the wrong signals.  It's
  better than blkcg completely collapsing with shared request_list but
  needs to be improved with future changes.

* After this change, each block cgroup gets a full request pool making
  resource consumption of each cgroup higher.  This makes allowing
  non-root users to create cgroups less desirable; however, note that
  allowing non-root users to directly manage cgroups is already
  severely broken regardless of this patch - each block cgroup
  consumes kernel memory and skews IO weight (IO weights are not
  hierarchical).

v2: queue-sysfs.txt updated and patch description udpated as suggested
    by Vivek.

v3: blk_get_rl() wasn't checking error return from
    blkg_lookup_create() and may cause oops on lookup failure.  Fix it
    by falling back to root_rl on blkg lookup failures.  This problem
    was spotted by Rakesh Iyer <rni@google.com>.

v4: Updated to accomodate 458f27a982 "block: Avoid missed wakeup in
    request waitqueue".  blk_drain_queue() now wakes up waiters on all
    blkg->rl on the target queue.

Tejun Heo 5b788ce3e2 block: prepare for multiple request_lists
Request allocation is about to be made per-blkg meaning that there'll
be multiple request lists.

* Make queue full state per request_list.  blk_*queue_full() functions
  are renamed to blk_*rl_full() and takes @rl instead of @q.

* Rename blk_init_free_list() to blk_init_rl() and make it take @rl
  instead of @q.  Also add @gfp_mask parameter.

* Add blk_exit_rl() instead of destroying rl directly from
  blk_release_queue().

* Add request_list->q and make request alloc/free functions -
  blk_free_request(), [__]freed_request(), __get_request() - take @rl
  instead of @q.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

move q->rq.elvpriv to q->nr_rqs_elvpriv.  blk_drain_queue() is updated

These counters separates queue-wide request statistics from the

Tejun Heo 7f4b35d155 block: allocate io_context upfront
Block layer very lazy allocation of ioc.  It waits until the moment
ioc is absolutely necessary; unfortunately, that time could be inside
queue lock and __get_request() performs unlock - try alloc - retry
dancing.

Just allocate it up-front on entry to block layer.  We're not saving
the rain forest by deferring it to the last possible moment and
complicating things unnecessarily.

Tejun Heo a06e05e6af block: refactor get_request[_wait]()
Currently, there are two request allocation functions - get_request()
and get_request_wait().  The former tries to allocate a request once
and the latter keeps retrying until it succeeds.  The latter wraps the
former and keeps retrying until allocation succeeds.

The combination of two functions deliver fallible non-wait allocation,
fallible wait allocation and unfailing wait allocation.  However,
given that forward progress is guaranteed, fallible wait allocation
isn't all that useful and in fact nobody uses it.

This patch simplifies the interface as follows.

* get_request() is renamed to __get_request() and is only used by the
  wrapper function.

* get_request_wait() is renamed to get_request().  It now takes
  @gfp_mask and retries iff it contains %__GFP_WAIT.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change and is to prepare
for further updates to request allocation path.
