2016-09-14block: add poll_considered statisticStephen Bates1-2/+6
In order to help determine the effectiveness of polling in a running system it is usful to determine the ratio of how often the poll function is called vs how often the completion is checked. For this reason we add a poll_considered variable and add it to the sysfs entry for io_poll.

2016-08-07block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opfJens Axboe1-13/+13
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

2016-07-26Merge branch 'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-blockLinus Torvalds1-72/+25
Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe: "This branch also contains core changes. I've come to the conclusion that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch. We often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers when that happens. That said, this contains: - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from Christoph. - set of discard fixes, from Christoph. - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the op/flags change in the core branch. - map and append request fixes from Christoph. - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph. This is pretty exciting! - nvme-loop fixes from Arnd. - removal of ->driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a device_add_disk() helper. - bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing. - cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah. - set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier. - set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp. - mg_disk error path fix from Bart. - user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei. - NVMe in general: + NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme. + SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith. + fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi. + use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei. + cancel IO fixes from Ming. + don't allocate unused major, from Neil. + error code fixup from Dan. + use constants for PSDT/FUSE from James. + variable init fix from Jay. + fabrics fixes from Ming, Sagi, and Wei. + various fixes" * 'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (115 commits) nvme/pci: Provide SR-IOV support nvme: initialize variable before logical OR'ing it block: unexport various bio mapping helpers scsi/osd: open code blk_make_request target: stop using blk_make_request block: simplify and export blk_rq_append_bio block: ensure bios return from blk_get_request are properly initialized virtio_blk: use blk_rq_map_kern memstick: don't allow REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests block: shrink bio size again block: simplify and cleanup bvec pool handling block: get rid of bio_rw and READA block: don't ignore -EOPNOTSUPP blkdev_issue_write_same block: introduce BLKDEV_DISCARD_ZERO to fix zeroout NVMe: don't allocate unused nvme_major nvme: avoid crashes when node 0 is memoryless node. nvme: Limit command retries loop: Make user notify for adding loop device failed nvme-loop: fix nvme-loop Kconfig dependencies nvmet: fix return value check in nvmet_subsys_alloc() ...
2016-07-20scsi/osd: open code blk_make_requestChristoph Hellwig1-57/+0
I wish the OSD code could simply use blk_rq_map_* helpers like everyone else, but the complex nature of deciding if we have DATA IN and/or DATA OUT buffers might make this impossible (at least for a mere human like me). But using blk_rq_append_bio at least allows sharing the setup code between request with or without dat a buffers, and given that this is the last user of blk_make_request it allows getting rid of that somewhat awkward interface.

2016-07-20block: ensure bios return from blk_get_request are properly initializedChristoph Hellwig1-5/+7
blk_get_request is used for BLOCK_PC and similar passthrough requests. Currently we always need to call blk_rq_set_block_pc or an open coded version of it to allow appending bios using the request mapping helpers later on, which is a somewhat awkward API. Instead move the initialization part of blk_rq_set_block_pc into blk_get_request, so that we always have a safe to use request.

2016-06-09cfq-iosched: temporarily boost queue priority for idle classesJens Axboe1-0/+5
If we're queuing REQ_PRIO IO and the task is running at an idle IO class, then temporarily boost the priority. This prevents livelocks due to priority inversion, when a low priority task is holding file system resources while attempting to do IO. An example of that is shown below. An ioniced idle task is holding the directory mutex, while a normal priority task is trying to do a directory lookup.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov1-1/+1
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-02-22dm: fix excessive dm-mq context switchingMike Snitzer1-1/+1
Request-based DM's blk-mq support (dm-mq) was reported to be 50% slower than if an underlying null_blk device were used directly. One of the reasons for this drop in performance is that blk_insert_clone_request() was calling blk_mq_insert_request() with @async=true. This forced the use of kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on() to run the blk-mq hw queues which ushered in ping-ponging between process context (fio in this case) and kblockd's kworker to submit the cloned request. The ftrace function_graph tracer showed: kworker-2013 => fio-12190 fio-12190 => kworker-2013 ... kworker-2013 => fio-12190 fio-12190 => kworker-2013 ... Fixing blk_insert_clone_request()'s blk_mq_insert_request() call to _not_ use kblockd to submit the cloned requests isn't enough to eliminate the observed context switches. In addition to this dm-mq specific blk-core fix, there are 2 DM core fixes to dm-mq that (when paired with the blk-core fix) completely eliminate the observed context switching: 1) don't blk_mq_run_hw_queues in blk-mq request completion Motivated by desire to reduce overhead of dm-mq, punting to kblockd just increases context switches. In my testing against a really fast null_blk device there was no benefit to running blk_mq_run_hw_queues() on completion (and no other blk-mq driver does this). So hopefully this change doesn't induce the need for yet another revert like commit 621739b00e16ca2d ! 2) use blk_mq_complete_request() in dm_complete_request() blk_complete_request() doesn't offer the traditional q->mq_ops vs .request_fn branching pattern that other historic block interfaces do (e.g. blk_get_request). Using blk_mq_complete_request() for blk-mq requests is important for performance. It should be noted that, like blk_complete_request(), blk_mq_complete_request() doesn't natively handle partial completions -- but the request-based DM-multipath target does provide the required partial completion support by dm.c:end_clone_bio() triggering requeueing of the request via dm-mpath.c:multipath_end_io()'s return of DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE. dm-mq fix #2 is _much_ more important than #1 for eliminating the context switches. Before: cpu : usr=15.10%, sys=59.39%, ctx=7905181, majf=0, minf=475 After: cpu : usr=20.60%, sys=79.35%, ctx=2008, majf=0, minf=472 With these changes multithreaded async read IOPs improved from ~950K to ~1350K for this dm-mq stacked on null_blk test-case. The raw read IOPs of the underlying null_blk device for the same workload is ~1950K.

2016-02-19block: Add blk_set_runtime_active()Mika Westerberg1-0/+24
If block device is left runtime suspended during system suspend, resume hook of the driver typically corrects runtime PM status of the device back to "active" after it is resumed. However, this is not enough as queue's runtime PM status is still "suspended". As long as it is in this state blk_pm_peek_request() returns NULL and thus prevents new requests to be processed. Add new function blk_set_runtime_active() that can be used to force the queue status back to "active" as needed.

2016-02-04block/sd: Return -EREMOTEIO when WRITE SAME and DISCARD are disabledMartin K. Petersen1-2/+4
When a storage device rejects a WRITE SAME command we will disable write same functionality for the device and return -EREMOTEIO to the block layer. -EREMOTEIO will in turn prevent DM from retrying the I/O and/or failing the path. Yiwen Jiang discovered a small race where WRITE SAME requests issued simultaneously would cause -EIO to be returned. This happened because any requests being prepared after WRITE SAME had been disabled for the device caused us to return BLKPREP_KILL. The latter caused the block layer to return -EIO upon completion. To overcome this we introduce BLKPREP_INVALID which indicates that this is an invalid request for the device. blk_peek_request() is modified to return -EREMOTEIO in that case.

Timer context is not very useful for drivers to perform any meaningful abort action from. So instead of calling the driver from this useless context defer it to a workqueue as soon as possible. Note that while a delayed_work item would seem the right thing here I didn't dare to use it due to the magic in blk_add_timer that pokes deep into timer internals. But maybe this encourages Tejun to add a sensible API for that to the workqueue API and we'll all be fine in the end :) Contains a major update from Keith Bush: "This patch removes synchronizing the timeout work so that the timer can start a freeze on its own queue.

2015-12-03SCSI: Fix NULL pointer dereference in runtime PMKen Xue1-0/+12
The routines in scsi_pm.c assume that if a runtime-PM callback is invoked for a SCSI device, it can only mean that the device's driver has asked the block layer to handle the runtime power management (by calling blk_pm_runtime_init(), which among other things sets q->dev). However, this assumption turns out to be wrong for things like the ses driver. Normally ses devices are not allowed to do runtime PM, but userspace can override this setting. If this happens, the kernel gets a NULL pointer dereference when blk_post_runtime_resume() tries to use the uninitialized q->dev pointer. This patch fixes the problem by checking q->dev in block layer before handle runtime PM. Since ses doesn't define any PM callbacks and call blk_pm_runtime_init(), the crash won't occur.

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIMMel Gorman1-2/+2
__GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and could not sleep. Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic context and callers that are not willing to sleep. The latter should clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake. As clearing __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the wrong flags. This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing them prevents it.

2015-11-06mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to ↵Mel Gorman1-8/+8
sleep and avoiding waking kswapd __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.
