2013-04-08Revert "loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop device"Jens Axboe1-1/+0
This reverts commit 8761a3dc1f07b163414e2215a2cadbb4cfe2a107. 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. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2013-04-03block: avoid using uninitialized value in from queue_var_storeArnd Bergmann1-0/+2
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.

2013-03-22loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop devicePhillip Susi1-0/+1
Any partitions added by user space to the loop device were being left in place after detaching the loop device. This was because the detach path issued a BLKRRPART to clean up partitions if LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN was set, meaning that the partitions were auto scanned on attach. Replace this BLKRRPART with code that unconditionally cleans up partitions on detach instead. Signed-off-by: Phillip Susi <psusi@ubuntu.com> Modified by Jens to export delete_partition().

2013-02-27hlist: drop the node parameter from iteratorsSasha Levin5-12/+7
I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually. The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here: @@ iterator name hlist_for_each_entry, hlist_for_each_entry_continue, hlist_for_each_entry_from, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh, for_each_busy_worker, ax25_uid_for_each, ax25_for_each, inet_bind_bucket_for_each, sctp_for_each_hentry, sk_for_each, sk_for_each_rcu, sk_for_each_from, sk_for_each_safe, sk_for_each_bound, hlist_for_each_entry_safe, hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu, nr_neigh_for_each, nr_neigh_for_each_safe, nr_node_for_each, nr_node_for_each_safe, for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp, for_each_gfn_sp, for_each_host; type T; expression a,c,d,e; identifier b; statement S; @@ -T b; <+... when != b ( hlist_for_each_entry(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_from(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_rcu_bh(a, - b, c, d) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh(a, - b, c) S | for_each_busy_worker(a, c, - b, d) S | ax25_uid_for_each(a, - b, c) S | ax25_for_each(a, - b, c) S | inet_bind_bucket_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sctp_for_each_hentry(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_rcu(a, - b, c) S | sk_for_each_from -(a, b) +(a) S + sk_for_each_from(a) S | sk_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | sk_for_each_bound(a, - b, c) S | hlist_for_each_entry_safe(a, - b, c, d, e) S | hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_neigh_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | nr_node_for_each(a, - b, c) S | nr_node_for_each_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_sp(a, c, d) S | - for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d, b) S + for_each_gfn_indirect_valid_sp(a, c, d) S | for_each_host(a, - b, c) S | for_each_host_safe(a, - b, c, d) S | for_each_mesh_entry(a, - b, c, d) S ) ...+> [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus change from net/ipv4/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: drop bogus hunk from net/ipv6/raw.c] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: checkpatch fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] [akpm@linux-foudnation.org: redo intrusive kvm changes] Tested-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@gmail.com> Acked-by: Paul E.

2013-02-27block/partitions: optimize memory allocation in check_partition()Ming Lei3-8/+37
Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition, especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage, MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure. This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct parsed_partitions to try to address the issue: - make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved - vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is still a bit big for kmalloc - given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Reported-by: Felipe Balbi <balbi@ti.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Reviewed-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu <isimatu.yasuaki@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

AIX formatted disks do not always have the MSDOS 55aa signature. This happens e.g. for unbootable AIX disks. Up to now, such disks were not recognized as AIX disks, because of the missing 55aa. Fix that by inverting the two tests. Let's first check for the AIX magic strings, and only if that fails check for the MSDOS magic word.

2013-02-22cfq: fix lock imbalance with failed allocationsGlauber Costa1-0/+2
While stress-running very-small container scenarios with the Kernel Memory Controller, I've run into a lockdep-detected lock imbalance in cfq-iosched.c. I'll apologize beforehand for not posting a backlog: I didn't anticipate it would be so hard to reproduce, so I didn't save my serial output and went directly on debugging. Turns out that it did not happen again in more than 20 runs, making it a quite rare pattern. But here is my analysis: When we are in very low-memory situations, we will arrive at cfq_find_alloc_queue and may not find a queue, having to resort to the oom queue, in an rcu-locked condition: if (!cfqq || cfqq == &cfqd->oom_cfqq) [ ... ] Next, we will release the rcu lock, and try to allocate a queue, retrying if we succeed: rcu_read_unlock(); spin_unlock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock); new_cfqq = kmem_cache_alloc_node(cfq_pool, gfp_mask | __GFP_ZERO, cfqd->queue->node); spin_lock_irq(cfqd->queue->queue_lock); if (new_cfqq) goto retry; We are unlocked at this point, but it should be fine, since we will reacquire the rcu_read_lock when we retry. Except of course, that we may not retry: the allocation may very well fail and we'll keep on going through the flow: The next branch is: if (cfqq) { [ ... ] } else cfqq = &cfqd->oom_cfqq; And right before exiting, we'll issue rcu_read_unlock(). Being already unlocked, this is the likely source of our imbalance. Since cfqq is either already NULL or made NULL in the first statement of the outter branch, the only viable alternative here seems to be to return the oom queue right away in case of allocation failure. Please review the following patch and apply if you agree with my analysis.

2013-02-21block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during writeDarrick J. Wong1-3/+5
This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot page contents instead of waiting. For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking (which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

2013-02-21bdi: allow block devices to say that they require stable page writesDarrick J. Wong1-0/+4
This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to provide stable page writes on those filesystems. It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway) this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not fixing it sooner. Complaints were registered by several people about the long write latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset. Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else. Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support to enable zero-copy writeout. Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems. Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure latencies on ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat ---------------------------------------- WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817 ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391 Flush 15514 29.828 287.283 Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273 ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112 Flush 14982 30.540 298.634 Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives the flusher more work to do. On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum latencies: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078 ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210 Flush 12129 36.219 168.260 Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 86082 0.141 30.928 ReadX 273358 0.010 36.124 Flush 12214 34.800 165.689 Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343 ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115 Flush 17851 25.004 131.390 Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 123529 0.028 6.299 ReadX 392434 0.005 4.287 Flush 17549 25.120 188.687 Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms ...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency decreases: 3.8.0-rc3: WriteX 67122 0.083 82.355 ReadX 212719 0.005 2.828 Flush 9547 47.561 147.418 Throughput 35.3391 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=147.433 ms 3.8.0-rc3 + patches: WriteX 64898 0.101 71.631 ReadX 206673 0.005 7.123 Flush 9190 47.963 219.034 Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=219.044 ms Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own thing, so they'd wait too. After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk requiring stable page writes. This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same results as -rc3. [1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped by nearly an order of magnitude.

2013-02-15block: account iowait time when waiting for completion of IO requestVladimir Davydov3-6/+6
Using wait_for_completion() for waiting for a IO request to be executed results in wrong iowait time accounting. For example, a system having the only task doing write() and fdatasync() on a block device can be reported being idle instead of iowaiting as it should because blkdev_issue_flush() calls wait_for_completion() which in turn calls schedule() that does not increment the iowait proc counter and thus does not turn on iowait time accounting. The patch makes block layer use wait_for_completion_io() instead of wait_for_completion() where appropriate to account iowait time correctly.

2013-01-22block: don't request module during elevator initTejun Heo1-7/+12
Block layer allows selecting an elevator which is built as a module to be selected as system default via kernel param "elevator=". This is achieved by automatically invoking request_module() whenever a new block device is initialized and the elevator is not available. This led to an interesting deadlock problem involving async and module init. Block device probing running off an async job invokes request_module(). While the module is being loaded, it performs async_synchronize_full() which ends up waiting for the async job which is already waiting for request_module() to finish, leading to deadlock. Invoking request_module() from deep in block device init path is already nasty in itself. It seems best to avoid these situations from the beginning by moving on-demand module loading out of block init path. The previous patch made sure that the default elevator module is loaded early during boot if available. This patch removes on-demand loading of the default elevator from elevator init path. As the module would have been loaded during boot, userland-visible behavior difference should be minimal. For more details, please refer to the following thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1420814 v2: The bool parameter was named @request_module which conflicted with request_module(). This built okay w/ CONFIG_MODULES because request_module() was defined as a macro. W/o CONFIG_MODULES, it causes build breakage. Rename the parameter to @try_loading. Reported by Fengguang.

This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or initrd is made available and right before control is passed to userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the default modules are loaded as soon as possible. This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator init path. v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK. Reported by kbuild test robot.

2013-01-14block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepointTejun Heo1-1/+0
bio completion didn't kick block_bio_complete TP. Only dm was explicitly triggering the TP on IO completion. This makes block_bio_complete TP useless for tracers which want to know about bios, and all other bio based drivers skip generating blktrace completion events. This patch makes all bio completions via bio_endio() generate block_bio_complete TP. * Explicit trace_block_bio_complete() invocation removed from dm and the trace point is unexported. * @rq dropped from trace_block_bio_complete(). bios may fly around w/o queue associated. Verifying and accessing the assocaited queue belongs to TP probes. * blktrace now gets both request and bio completions. Make it ignore bio completions if request completion path is happening. This makes all bio based drivers generate blktrace completion events properly and makes the block_bio_complete TP actually useful. v2: With this change, block_bio_complete TP could be invoked on sg commands which have bio's with %NULL bi_bdev. Update TP assignment code to check whether bio->bi_bdev is %NULL before dereferencing.

The transfer happens form ->pd_offline_fn() and it is possible that there are some residual IOs completing afterwards. Currently, we lose these stats. Given that cgroup removal isn't a very high frequency operation and the amount of residual IOs on offline are likely to be nil or small, this shouldn't be a big deal and the complexity needed to handle residual IOs - another callback and rather elaborate synchronization to reach and lock the matching q - doesn't seem justified.

2013-01-09cfq-iosched: enable full blkcg hierarchy supportTejun Heo1-15/+6
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.

2013-01-09cfq-iosched: convert cfq_group_slice() to use cfqg->vfractionTejun Heo1-6/+1
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.

2013-01-09cfq-iosched: implement hierarchy-ready cfq_group charge scalingTejun Heo1-30/+77
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.

2013-01-09cfq-iosched: implement cfq_group->nr_active and ->children_weightTejun Heo1-0/+76
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. v2: s/cfqg->level_weight/cfqg->children_weight/ as per Vivek. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
2013-01-09cfq-iosched: add leaf_weightTejun Heo3-9/+130
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.

2013-01-09blkcg: make blkcg_gq's hierarchicalTejun Heo2-5/+55
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. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
