2011-07-23block: strict rq_affinityDan Williams3-12/+18
Some systems benefit from completions always being steered to the strict requester cpu rather than the looser "per-socket" steering that blk_cpu_to_group() attempts by default. This is because the first CPU in the group mask ends up being completely overloaded with work, while the others (including the original submitter) has power left to spare. Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control file. This is identical to the scheme used for the nomerges file, where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on. echo 2 > /sys/block/<bdev>/queue/rq_affinity Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Roland Dreier <roland@purestorage.com> Tested-by: Dave Jiang <dave.jiang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-07-21[SCSI] fix crash in scsi_dispatch_cmd()James Bottomley2-0/+10
USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD followed by attempted unmount. The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be sent to a dead queue. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <JBottomley@Parallels.com>

2011-07-12fixlet: Remove fs_excl from struct task.Justin TerAvest1-27/+1
fs_excl is a poor man's priority inheritance for filesystems to hint to the block layer that an operation is important. It was never clearly specified, not widely adopted, and will not prevent starvation in many cases (like across cgroups). fs_excl was introduced with the time sliced CFQ IO scheduler, to indicate when a process held FS exclusive resources and thus needed a boost. It doesn't cover all file systems, and it was never fully complete. Lets kill it. Signed-off-by: Justin TerAvest <teravest@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-07-08block: avoid building too big plug listShaohua Li1-0/+5
When I test fio script with big I/O depth, I found the total throughput drops compared to some relative small I/O depth. The reason is the thread accumulates big requests in its plug list and causes some delays (surely this depends on CPU speed). I thought we'd better have a threshold for requests. When a threshold reaches, this means there is no request merge and queue lock contention isn't severe when pushing per-task requests to queue, so the main advantages of blk plug don't exist. We can force a plug list flush in this case. With this, my test throughput actually increases and almost equals to small I/O depth. Another side effect is irq off time decreases in blk_flush_plug_list() for big I/O depth. The BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT is choosen arbitarily, but 16 is efficiently to reduce lock contention to me. But I'm open here, 32 is ok in my test too. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2011-07-06block: eliminate potential for infinite loop in blkdev_issue_discardMike Snitzer1-1/+4
Due to the recently identified overflow in read_capacity_16() it was possible for max_discard_sectors to be zero but still have discards enabled on the associated device's queue. Eliminate the possibility for blkdev_issue_discard to infinitely loop. Interestingly this issue wasn't identified until a device, whose discard_granularity was 0 due to read_capacity_16 overflow, was consumed by blk_stack_limits() to construct limits for a higher-level DM multipath device. The multipath device's resulting limits never had the discard limits stacked because blk_stack_limits() will only do so if the bottom device's discard_granularity != 0. This resulted in the multipath device's limits.max_discard_sectors being 0. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-07-01block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)Tejun Heo1-10/+12
Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point. It has two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states and proceed to generate more events. Secondly, it's passed on to device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device. The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage. Among other things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can. This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers. disk_check_events() is renamed to disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the next ->check_events() invocation. This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from userland - e.g. with eject(1). Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly complex. disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint can be boolean @flush.

2011-06-09block: make disk_block_events() properly wait for work cancellationTejun Heo1-0/+10
disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further cancellations. Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing cancel_delayed_work_sync() and the following blockers, the following blockers could finish before cancellation was complete, which broke both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could happen after return. This bug triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662 Fix it by adding an outer mutex which protects both block count manipulation and work cancellation. -v2: Use outer mutex instead of bit waitqueue per Linus.

2011-06-09block: don't use non-syncing event blocking in disk_check_events()Tejun Heo1-3/+11
This patch is part of fix for triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662 disk_clear_events() blocks events, schedules and flushes the event work. It expects the work to have started execution on schedule and finished on return from flush. WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers if the event work hasn't executed as expected. This problem happens because __disk_block_events() fails to guarantee that the event work item is not in flight on return from the function in race-free manner. The problem is two-fold and this patch addresses one of them. When __disk_block_events() is called with @sync == %false, it bumps event block count, calls cancel_delayed_work() and return. This makes it impossible to guarantee that event polling is not in flight on return from syncing __disk_block_events() - if the first blocker was non-syncing, polling could still be in progress and later syncing ones would assume that the first blocker already canceled it. Making __disk_block_events() cancel_sync regardless of block count isn't feasible either as it may race with forced event checking in disk_clear_events(). As disk_check_events() is the only user of non-syncing __disk_block_events(), updating it to directly cancel and schedule event work is the easiest way to solve the issue. Note that there's another bug in __disk_block_events() and this patch doesn't fix the issue completely. Later patch will fix the other bug.

2011-06-02iosched: prevent aliased requests from starving other I/OJeff Moyer3-15/+5
Hi, Jens, If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279 The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both cfq and deadline). The solution I proposed back then was to start dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been dispatched. Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all, and I never had a good answer. So, I put together a simple patch which allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right, though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway). I think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices in CFQ or batches in deadline. I've tested it, and it does solve the starvation issue. Let me know what you think.

Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach.

2011-05-26block: always allocate genhd->ev if check_events is implementedTejun Heo1-1/+1
9fd097b149 (block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe drivers) removed DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from legacy/fringe block drivers which have inadequate ->check_events(). Combined with earlier change 7c88a168da (block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to userland), this enables using ->check_events() for internal processing while avoiding enabling in-kernel block event polling which can lead to infinite event loop. Unfortunately, this made many drivers including floppy without any bit set in disk->events and ->async_events in which case disk_add_events() simply skipped allocation of disk->ev, which disables whole event handling. As ->check_events() is still used during open processing for revalidation, this can lead to open failure. This patch always allocates disk->ev if ->check_events is implemented. In the long term, it would make sense to simply include the event structure inline into genhd as it's now used by virtually all block devices.

The 'group_changed' variable is initialized to 0 and never changed, so checking the variable is meaningless. It is a leftover from 0bbfeb832042 ("cfq-iosched: Always provide group iosolation.").
