2017-10-04blk-mq: attempt to fix atomic flag memory orderingPeter Zijlstra2-13/+41
Attempt to untangle the ordering in blk-mq. The patch introducing the single smp_mb__before_atomic() is obviously broken in that it doesn't clearly specify a pairing barrier and an obtained guarantee. The comment is further misleading in that it hints that the deadline store and the COMPLETE store also need to be ordered, but AFAICT there is no such dependency. However what does appear to be important is the clear happening _after_ the store, and that worked by pure accident. This clarifies blk_mq_start_request() -- we should not get there with STARTING set -- this simplifies the code and makes the barrier usage sane (the old code could be read to allow not having _any_ atomic after the barrier, in which case the barrier hasn't got anything to order). We then also introduce the missing pairing barrier for it. Also down-grade the barrier to smp_wmb(), this is cheaper for PowerPC/ARM and doesn't cost anything extra on x86. And it documents the STARTING vs COMPLETE ordering. Although I've not been entirely successful in reverse engineering the blk-mq state machine so there might still be more funnies around timeout vs requeue.

2017-10-04bsg-lib: fix use-after-free under memory-pressureBenjamin Block1-6/+21
When under memory-pressure it is possible that the mempool which backs the 'struct request_queue' will make use of up to BLKDEV_MIN_RQ count emergency buffers - in case it can't get a regular allocation. These buffers are preallocated and once they are also used, they are re-supplied with old finished requests from the same request_queue (see mempool_free()). The bug is, when re-supplying the emergency pool, the old requests are not again ran through the callback mempool_t->alloc(), and thus also not through the callback bsg_init_rq(). Thus we skip initialization, and while the sense-buffer still should be good, scsi_request->cmd might have become to be an invalid pointer in the meantime. When the request is initialized in bsg.c, and the user's CDB is larger than BLK_MAX_CDB, bsg will replace it with a custom allocated buffer, which is freed when the user's command is finished, thus it dangles afterwards. When next a command is sent by the user that has a smaller/similar CDB as BLK_MAX_CDB, bsg will assume that scsi_request->cmd is backed by scsi_request->__cmd, will not make a custom allocation, and write into undefined memory. Fix this by splitting bsg_init_rq() into two functions: - bsg_init_rq() is changed to only do the allocation of the sense-buffer, which is used to back the bsg job's reply buffer. This pointer should never change during the lifetime of a scsi_request, so it doesn't need re-initialization. - bsg_initialize_rq() is a new function that makes use of 'struct request_queue's initialize_rq_fn callback (which was introduced in v4.12). This is always called before the request is given out via blk_get_request(). This function does the remaining initialization that was previously done in bsg_init_rq(), and will also do it when the request is taken from the emergency-pool of the backing mempool.

2017-10-03blk-throttle: fix possible io stall when upgrade to maxJoseph Qi1-2/+2
There is a case which will lead to io stall. The case is described as follows. /test1 |-subtest1 /test2 |-subtest2 And subtest1 and subtest2 each has 32 queued bios already. Now upgrade to max. In throtl_upgrade_state, it will try to dispatch bios as follows: 1) tg=subtest1, do nothing; 2) tg=test1, transfer 32 queued bios from subtest1 to test1; no pending left, no need to schedule next dispatch; 3) tg=subtest2, do nothing; 4) tg=test2, transfer 32 queued bios from subtest2 to test2; no pending left, no need to schedule next dispatch; 5) tg=/, transfer 8 queued bios from test1 to /, 8 queued bios from test2 to /, 8 queued bios from test1 to /, and 8 queued bios from test2 to /; note that test1 and test2 each still has 16 queued bios left; 6) tg=/, try to schedule next dispatch, but since disptime is now (update in tg_update_disptime, wait=0), pending timer is not scheduled in fact; 7) In throtl_upgrade_state it totally dispatches 32 queued bios and with 32 left. test1 and test2 each has 16 queued bios; 8) throtl_pending_timer_fn sees the left over bios, but could do nothing, because throtl_select_dispatch returns 0, and test1/test2 has no pending tg. The blktrace shows the following: 8,32 0 0 2.539007641 0 m N throtl upgrade to max 8,32 0 0 2.539072267 0 m N throtl /test2 dispatch nr_queued=16 read=0 write=16 8,32 7 0 2.539077142 0 m N throtl /test1 dispatch nr_queued=16 read=0 write=16 So force schedule dispatch if there are pending children.

2017-10-03block, bfq: decrease burst size when queues in burst exitPaolo Valente1-9/+3
If many queues belonging to the same group happen to be created shortly after each other, then the concurrent processes associated with these queues have typically a common goal, and they get it done as soon as possible if not hampered by device idling. Examples are processes spawned by git grep, or by systemd during boot. As for device idling, this mechanism is currently necessary for weight raising to succeed in its goal: privileging I/O. In view of these facts, BFQ does not provide the above queues with either weight raising or device idling. On the other hand, a burst of queue creations may be caused also by the start-up of a complex application. In this case, these queues need usually to be served one after the other, and as quickly as possible, to maximise responsiveness. Therefore, in this case the best strategy is to weight-raise all the queues created during the burst, i.e., the exact opposite of the strategy for the above case. To distinguish between the two cases, BFQ uses an empirical burst-size threshold, found through extensive tests and monitoring of daily usage. Only large bursts, i.e., burst with a size above this threshold, are considered as generated by a high number of parallel processes. In this respect, upstart-based boot proved to be rather hard to detect as generating a large burst of queue creations, because with upstart most of the queues created in a burst exit *before* the next queues in the same burst are created. To address this issue, I changed the burst-detection mechanism so as to not decrease the size of the current burst even if one of the queues in the burst is eliminated. Unfortunately, this missing decrease causes false positives on very fast systems: on the start-up of a complex application, such as libreoffice writer, so many queues are created, served and exited shortly after each other, that a large burst of queue creations is wrongly detected as occurring. These false positives just disappear if the size of a burst is decreased when one of the queues in the burst exits. This commit restores the missing burst-size decrease, relying of the fact that upstart is apparently unlikely to be used on systems running this and future versions of the kernel.

2017-10-03block, bfq: let early-merged queues be weight-raised on split tooPaolo Valente1-5/+23
A just-created bfq_queue, say Q, may happen to be merged with another bfq_queue on the very first invocation of the function __bfq_insert_request. In such a case, even if Q would clearly deserve interactive weight raising (as it has just been created), the function bfq_add_request does not make it to be invoked for Q, and thus to activate weight raising for Q. As a consequence, when the state of Q is saved for a possible future restore, after a split of Q from the other bfq_queue(s), such a state happens to be (unjustly) non-weight-raised. Then the bfq_queue will not enjoy any weight raising on the split, even if should still be in an interactive weight-raising period when the split occurs. This commit solves this problem as follows, for a just-created bfq_queue that is being early-merged: it stores directly, in the saved state of the bfq_queue, the weight-raising state that would have been assigned to the bfq_queue if not early-merged.

2017-10-03block, bfq: check and switch back to interactive wr also on queue splitPaolo Valente1-38/+49
As already explained in the message of commit "block, bfq: fix wrong init of saved start time for weight raising", if a soft real-time weight-raising period happens to be nested in a larger interactive weight-raising period, then BFQ restores the interactive weight raising at the end of the soft real-time weight raising. In particular, BFQ checks whether the latter has ended only on request dispatches. Unfortunately, the above scheme fails to restore interactive weight raising in the following corner case: if a bfq_queue, say Q, 1) Is merged with another bfq_queue while it is in a nested soft real-time weight-raising period. The weight-raising state of Q is then saved, and not considered any longer until a split occurs. 2) Is split from the other bfq_queue(s) at a time instant when its soft real-time weight raising is already finished. On the split, while resuming the previous, soft real-time weight-raised state of the bfq_queue Q, BFQ checks whether the current soft real-time weight-raising period is actually over. If so, BFQ switches weight raising off for Q, *without* checking whether the soft real-time period was actually nested in a non-yet-finished interactive weight-raising period. This commit addresses this issue by adding the above missing check in bfq_queue splits, and restoring interactive weight raising if needed.

2017-10-03block, bfq: fix wrong init of saved start time for weight raisingPaolo Valente1-19/+31
This commit fixes a bug that causes bfq to fail to guarantee a high responsiveness on some drives, if there is heavy random read+write I/O in the background. More precisely, such a failure allowed this bug to be found [1], but the bug may well cause other yet unreported anomalies. BFQ raises the weight of the bfq_queues associated with soft real-time applications, to privilege the I/O, and thus reduce latency, for these applications. This mechanism is named soft-real-time weight raising in BFQ. A soft real-time period may happen to be nested into an interactive weight raising period, i.e., it may happen that, when a bfq_queue switches to a soft real-time weight-raised state, the bfq_queue is already being weight-raised because deemed interactive too. In this case, BFQ saves in a special variable wr_start_at_switch_to_srt, the time instant when the interactive weight-raising period started for the bfq_queue, i.e., the time instant when BFQ started to deem the bfq_queue interactive. This value is then used to check whether the interactive weight-raising period would still be in progress when the soft real-time weight-raising period ends. If so, interactive weight raising is restored for the bfq_queue. This restore is useful, in particular, because it prevents bfq_queues from losing their interactive weight raising prematurely, as a consequence of spurious, short-lived soft real-time weight-raising periods caused by wrong detections as soft real-time. If, instead, a bfq_queue switches to soft-real-time weight raising while it *is not* already in an interactive weight-raising period, then the variable wr_start_at_switch_to_srt has no meaning during the following soft real-time weight-raising period. Unfortunately the handling of this case is wrong in BFQ: not only the variable is not flagged somehow as meaningless, but it is also set to the time when the switch to soft real-time weight-raising occurs. This may cause an interactive weight-raising period to be considered mistakenly as still in progress, and thus a spurious interactive weight-raising period to start for the bfq_queue, at the end of the soft-real-time weight-raising period. In particular the spurious interactive weight-raising period will be considered as still in progress, if the soft-real-time weight-raising period does not last very long. The bfq_queue will then be wrongly privileged and, if I/O bound, will unjustly steal bandwidth to truly interactive or soft real-time bfq_queues, harming responsiveness and low latency. This commit fixes this issue by just setting wr_start_at_switch_to_srt to minus infinity (farthest past time instant according to jiffies macros): when the soft-real-time weight-raising period ends, certainly no interactive weight-raising period will be considered as still in progress.

The lockdep code had reported the following unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(s_active#228); lock(&bdev->bd_mutex/1); lock(s_active#228); lock(&bdev->bd_mutex); *** DEADLOCK *** The deadlock may happen when one task (CPU1) is trying to delete a partition in a block device and another task (CPU0) is accessing tracing sysfs file (e.g. /sys/block/dm-1/trace/act_mask) in that partition. The s_active isn't an actual lock. It is a reference count (kn->count) on the sysfs (kernfs) file. Removal of a sysfs file, however, require a wait until all the references are gone. The reference count is treated like a rwsem using lockdep instrumentation code. The fact that a thread is in the sysfs callback method or in the ioctl call means there is a reference to the opended sysfs or device file. That should prevent the underlying block structure from being removed. Instead of using bd_mutex in the block_device structure, a new blk_trace_mutex is now added to the request_queue structure to protect access to the blk_trace structure.

2017-09-11block: directly insert blk-mq request from blk_insert_cloned_request()Jens Axboe3-1/+23
A NULL pointer crash was reported for the case of having the BFQ IO scheduler attached to the underlying blk-mq paths of a DM multipath device. The crash occured in blk_mq_sched_insert_request()'s call to e->type->ops.mq.insert_requests(). Paolo Valente correctly summarized why the crash occured with: "the call chain (dm_mq_queue_rq -> map_request -> setup_clone -> blk_rq_prep_clone) creates a cloned request without invoking e->type->ops.mq.prepare_request for the target elevator e. The cloned request is therefore not initialized for the scheduler, but it is however inserted into the scheduler by blk_mq_sched_insert_request." All said, a request-based DM multipath device's IO scheduler should be the only one used -- when the original requests are issued to the underlying paths as cloned requests they are inserted directly in the underlying dispatch queue(s) rather than through an additional elevator. But commit bd166ef18 ("blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO schedulers") switched blk_insert_cloned_request() from using blk_mq_insert_request() to blk_mq_sched_insert_request(). Which incorrectly added elevator machinery into a call chain that isn't supposed to have any. To fix this introduce a blk-mq private blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() that blk_insert_cloned_request() calls to insert the request without involving any elevator that may be attached to the cloned request's request_queue.

Users who are booting off their Opal enabled drives are having issues when they have a shadow MBR set up after s3/resume cycle. When the Drive has a shadow MBR setup the MBRDone flag is set to false upon power loss (S3/S4/S5). When the MBRDone flag is false I/O to LBA 0 -> LBA_END_MBR are remapped to the shadow mbr of the drive. If the drive contains useful data in the 0 -> end_mbr range upon s3 resume the user can never get to that data as the drive will keep remapping it to the MBR. To fix this when we unlock on S3 resume, we need to tell the drive that we're done with the shadow mbr (even though we didnt use it) by setting true to MBRDone. This way the drive will stop the remapping and the user can access their data.

We put it up on linux-api@, but didn't get much response. The API is complex, but it solves two different problems in one go: 1) The bi-directional nature of the RDMA file write calls, which created the security hole we had to handle (and for which the fix is now causing problems for systems in production, we were a bit over zealous in the fix and the ability to open a device, then fork, then create new queue pairs on the device and use them is broken). 2) The bloat caused by different vendors implementing extensions to the base verbs API. Each vendor's hardware is slightly different, and the hardware might be suitable for one extension but not another. By the time we add generic extensions for all the different ways that the different hardware can offload things, the API becomes bloated. Things like our completion structs have started to exceed a cache line in size because of all the elements needed to support this. That in turn shows up heavily in the performance graphs with a noticable drop in performance on 100Gigabit links as our completion structs go from occupying one cache line to 1+. This API makes things like the completion structs modular in a very similar way to netlink so that your structs can only include the items needed for the offloads/features you are actually using on a given queue pair. In that way we support everything, but only use what we need, and our structs stay smaller. The ioctl API is better explained by the posting on linux-api@ than I can explain it here, so I'll just leave it at that. The rest of the pull request is typical stuff.

2017-08-31block, bfq: guarantee update_next_in_service always returns an eligible entityPaolo Valente1-6/+8
If the function bfq_update_next_in_service is invoked as a consequence of the activation or requeueing of an entity, say E, then it doesn't invoke bfq_lookup_next_entity to get the next-in-service entity. In contrast, it follows a shorter path: if E happens to be eligible (see commit "bfq-sq-mq: make lookup_next_entity push up vtime on expirations" for details on eligibility) and to have a lower virtual finish time than the current candidate as next-in-service entity, then E directly becomes the next-in-service entity. Unfortunately, there is a corner case for which this shorter path makes bfq_update_next_in_service choose a non eligible entity: it occurs if both E and the current next-in-service entity happen to be non eligible when bfq_update_next_in_service is invoked. In this case, E is not set as next-in-service, and, since bfq_lookup_next_entity is not invoked, the state of the parent entity is not updated so as to end up with an eligible entity as the proper next-in-service entity. In this respect, next-in-service is actually allowed to be non eligible while some queue is in service: since no system-virtual-time push-up can be performed in that case (see again commit "bfq-sq-mq: make lookup_next_entity push up vtime on expirations" for details), next-in-service is chosen, speculatively, as a function of the possible value that the system virtual time may get after a push up. But the correctness of the schedule breaks if next-in-service is still a non eligible entity when it is time to set in service the next entity. Unfortunately, this may happen in the above corner case. This commit fixes this problem by making bfq_update_next_in_service invoke bfq_lookup_next_entity not only if the above shorter path cannot be taken, but also if the shorter path is taken but fails to yield an eligible next-in-service entity.

2017-08-31block, bfq: remove direct switch to an entity in higher classPaolo Valente1-14/+5
If the function bfq_update_next_in_service is invoked as a consequence of the activation or requeueing of an entity, say E, and finds out that E belongs to a higher-priority class than that of the current next-in-service entity, then it sets next_in_service directly to E. But this may lead to anomalous schedules, because E may happen not be eligible for service, because its virtual start time is higher than the system virtual time for its service tree. This commit addresses this issue by simply removing this direct switch.

2017-08-31block, bfq: make lookup_next_entity push up vtime on expirationsPaolo Valente3-19/+47
To provide a very smooth service, bfq starts to serve a bfq_queue only if the queue is 'eligible', i.e., if the same queue would have started to be served in the ideal, perfectly fair system that bfq simulates internally. This is obtained by associating each queue with a virtual start time, and by computing a special system virtual time quantity: a queue is eligible only if the system virtual time has reached the virtual start time of the queue. Finally, bfq guarantees that, when a new queue must be set in service, there is always at least one eligible entity for each active parent entity in the scheduler. To provide this guarantee, the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity pushes up, for each parent entity on which it is invoked, the system virtual time to the minimum among the virtual start times of the entities in the active tree for the parent entity (more precisely, the push up occurs if the system virtual time happens to be lower than all such virtual start times). There is however a circumstance in which __bfq_lookup_next_entity cannot push up the system virtual time for a parent entity, even if the system virtual time is lower than the virtual start times of all the child entities in the active tree. It happens if one of the child entities is in service. In fact, in such a case, there is already an eligible entity, the in-service one, even if it may not be not present in the active tree (because in-service entities may be removed from the active tree). Unfortunately, in the last re-design of the hierarchical-scheduling engine, the reset of the pointer to the in-service entity for a given parent entity--reset to be done as a consequence of the expiration of the in-service entity--always happens after the function __bfq_lookup_next_entity has been invoked. This causes the function to think that there is still an entity in service for the parent entity, and then that the system virtual time cannot be pushed up, even if actually such a no-more-in-service entity has already been properly reinserted into the active tree (or in some other tree if no more active). Yet, the system virtual time *had* to be pushed up, to be ready to correctly choose the next queue to serve. Because of the lack of this push up, bfq may wrongly set in service a queue that had been speculatively pre-computed as the possible next-in-service queue, but that would no more be the one to serve after the expiration and the reinsertion into the active trees of the previously in-service entities. This commit addresses this issue by making __bfq_lookup_next_entity properly push up the system virtual time if an expiration is occurring.

2017-08-29smp: Avoid using two cache lines for struct call_single_dataYing Huang1-1/+1
struct call_single_data is used in IPIs to transfer information between CPUs. Its size is bigger than sizeof(unsigned long) and less than cache line size. Currently it is not allocated with any explicit alignment requirements. This makes it possible for allocated call_single_data to cross two cache lines, which results in double the number of the cache lines that need to be transferred among CPUs. This can be fixed by requiring call_single_data to be aligned with the size of call_single_data. Currently the size of call_single_data is the power of 2. If we add new fields to call_single_data, we may need to add padding to make sure the size of new definition is the power of 2 as well. Fortunately, this is enforced by GCC, which will report bad sizes. To set alignment requirements of call_single_data to the size of call_single_data, a struct definition and a typedef is used. To test the effect of the patch, I used the vm-scalability multiple thread swap test case (swap-w-seq-mt). The test will create multiple threads and each thread will eat memory until all RAM and part of swap is used, so that huge number of IPIs are triggered when unmapping memory. In the test, the throughput of memory writing improves ~5% compared with misaligned call_single_data, because of faster IPIs.
