Rename the block documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

When the blk-mq debugfs file creation logic was "cleaned up" it was
cleaned up too much, causing the queue file to not be created in the
correct location. Turns out the check for the directory being present
is needed as if that has not happened yet, the files should not be
created, and the function will be called later on in the initialization
code so that the files can be created in the correct location.

The iolatency controller is based on rq_qos. It increments on
rq_qos_throttle() and decrements on either rq_qos_cleanup() or
rq_qos_done_bio(). a3fb01ba5af0 fixes the double accounting issue where
blk_mq_make_request() may call both rq_qos_cleanup() and
rq_qos_done_bio() on REQ_NO_WAIT. So checking STS_AGAIN prevents the
double decrement.
The above works upstream as the only way we can get STS_AGAIN is from
blk_mq_get_request() failing. The STS_AGAIN handling isn't a real
problem as bio_endio() skipping only happens on reserved tag allocation
failures which can only be caused by driver bugs and already triggers
WARN.
However, the fix creates a not so great dependency on how STS_AGAIN can
be propagated. Internally, we (Facebook) carry a patch that kills read
ahead if a cgroup is io congested or a fatal signal is pending. This
combined with chained bios progagate their bi_status to the parent is
not already set can can cause the parent bio to not clean up properly
even though it was successful. This consequently leaks the inflight
counter and can hang all IOs under that blkg.
To nip the adverse interaction early, this removes the rq_qos_cleanup()
callback in iolatency in favor of cleaning up always on the
rq_qos_done_bio() path.

No code that occurs between blk_mq_get_ctx() and blk_mq_put_ctx() depends
on preemption being disabled for its correctness. Since removing the CPU
preemption calls does not measurably affect performance, simplify the

'bio->bi_iter.bi_size' is 'unsigned int', which at most hold 4G - 1
bytes.
Before 07173c3ec276 ("block: enable multipage bvecs"), one bio can
include very limited pages, and usually at most 256, so the fs bio
size won't be bigger than 1M bytes most of times.
Since we support multi-page bvec, in theory one fs bio really can
be added > 1M pages, especially in case of hugepage, or big writeback
with too many dirty pages. Then there is chance in which .bi_size
is overflowed.
Fixes this issue by using bio_full() to check if the added segment may
overflow .bi_size.

In reboot tests on several devices we were seeing a "use after free"
when slub_debug or KASAN was enabled. The kernel complained about:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 6b6b6c2b
...which is a classic sign of use after free under slub_debug. The
stack crawl in kgdb looked like:
0 test_bit (addr=<optimized out>, nr=<optimized out>)
1 bfq_bfqq_busy (bfqq=<optimized out>)
2 bfq_select_queue (bfqd=<optimized out>)
3 __bfq_dispatch_request (hctx=<optimized out>)
4 bfq_dispatch_request (hctx=<optimized out>)
5 0xc056ef00 in blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched (hctx=0xed249440)
6 0xc056f728 in blk_mq_sched_dispatch_requests (hctx=0xed249440)
7 0xc0568d24 in __blk_mq_run_hw_queue (hctx=0xed249440)
8 0xc0568d94 in blk_mq_run_work_fn (work=<optimized out>)
9 0xc024c5c4 in process_one_work (worker=0xec6d4640, work=0xed249480)
10 0xc024cff4 in worker_thread (__worker=0xec6d4640)
Digging in kgdb, it could be found that, though bfqq looked fine,
bfqq->bic had been freed.
Through further digging, I postulated that perhaps it is illegal to
access a "bic" (AKA an "icq") after bfq_exit_icq() had been called
because the "bic" can be freed at some point in time after this call
is made. I confirmed that there certainly were cases where the exact
crashing code path would access the "bic" after bfq_exit_icq() had
been called. Sspecifically I set the "bfqq->bic" to (void *)0x7 and
saw that the bic was 0x7 at the time of the crash.
To understand a bit more about why this crash was fairly uncommon (I
saw it only once in a few hundred reboots), you can see that much of
the time bfq_exit_icq_fbqq() fully frees the bfqq and thus it can't
access the ->bic anymore. The only case it doesn't is if
bfq_put_queue() sees a reference still held.
However, even in the case when bfqq isn't freed, the crash is still
rare. Why? I tracked what happened to the "bic" after the exit
routine. It doesn't get freed right away. Rather,
put_io_context_active() eventually called put_io_context() which
queued up freeing on a workqueue. The freeing then actually happened
later than that through call_rcu(). Despite all these delays, some
extra debugging showed that all the hoops could be jumped through in
time and the memory could be freed causing the original crash. Phew!
To make a long story short, assuming it truly is illegal to access an
icq after the "exit_icq" callback is finished, this patch is needed.

Some debug code suggested by Paolo was tripping when I did reboot
stress tests. Specifically in bfq_bfqq_resume_state()
"bic->saved_wr_start_at_switch_to_srt" was later than the current
value of "jiffies". A bit of debugging showed that
"bic->saved_wr_start_at_switch_to_srt" was actually 0 and a bit more
debugging showed that was because we had run through the "unlikely"
case in the bfq_bfqq_save_state() function.
Let's init "saved_wr_start_at_switch_to_srt" in the unlikely case to
something sane.
NOTE: this fixes no known real-world errors.

Consider, on one side, a bfq_queue Q that remains empty while in
service, and, on the other side, the pending I/O of bfq_queues that,
according to their timestamps, have to be served after Q. If an
uncontrolled amount of I/O from the latter bfq_queues were dispatched
while Q is waiting for its new I/O to arrive, then Q's bandwidth
guarantees would be violated. To prevent this, I/O dispatch is plugged
until Q receives new I/O (except for a properly controlled amount of
injected I/O). Unfortunately, preemption breaks I/O-dispatch plugging,
for the following reason.
Preemption is performed in two steps. First, Q is expired and
re-scheduled. Second, the new bfq_queue to serve is chosen. The first
step is needed by the second, as the second can be performed only
after Q's timestamps have been properly updated (done in the
expiration step), and Q has been re-queued for service. This
dependency is a consequence of the way how BFQ's scheduling algorithm
is currently implemented.
But Q is not re-scheduled at all in the first step, because Q is
empty. As a consequence, an uncontrolled amount of I/O may be
dispatched until Q becomes non empty again. This breaks Q's service
guarantees.
This commit addresses this issue by re-scheduling Q even if it is
empty. This in turn breaks the assumption that all scheduled queues
are non empty. Then a few extra checks are now needed.

BFQ enqueues the I/O coming from each process into a separate
bfq_queue, and serves bfq_queues one at a time. Each bfq_queue may be
served for at most timeout_sync milliseconds (default: 125 ms). This
service scheme is prone to the following inaccuracy.
While a bfq_queue Q1 is in service, some empty bfq_queue Q2 may
receive I/O, and, according to BFQ's scheduling policy, may become the
right bfq_queue to serve, in place of the currently in-service
bfq_queue. In this respect, postponing the service of Q2 to after the
service of Q1 finishes may delay the completion of Q2's I/O, compared
with an ideal service in which all non-empty bfq_queues are served in
parallel, and every non-empty bfq_queue is served at a rate
proportional to the bfq_queue's weight. This additional delay is equal
at most to the time Q1 may unjustly remain in service before switching
to Q2.
If Q1 and Q2 have the same weight, then this time is most likely
negligible compared with the completion time to be guaranteed to Q2's
I/O. In addition, first, one of the reasons why BFQ may want to serve
Q1 for a while is that this boosts throughput and, second, serving Q1
longer reduces BFQ's overhead. As a conclusion, it is usually better
not to preempt Q1 if both Q1 and Q2 have the same weight.
In contrast, as Q2's weight or priority becomes higher and higher
compared with that of Q1, the above delay becomes larger and larger,
compared with the I/O completion times that have to be guaranteed to
Q2 according to Q2's weight. So reducing this delay may be more
important than avoiding the costs of preempting Q1.
Accordingly, this commit preempts Q1 if Q2 has a higher weight or a
higher priority than Q1. Preemption causes Q1 to be re-scheduled, and
triggers a new choice of the next bfq_queue to serve. If Q2 really is
the next bfq_queue to serve, then Q2 will be set in service
immediately.
This change reduces the component of the I/O latency caused by the
above delay by about 80%. For example, on an (old) PLEXTOR PX-256M5
SSD, the maximum latency reported by fio drops from 15.1 to 3.2 ms for
a process doing sporadic random reads while another process is doing
continuous sequential reads.

A bfq_queue Q may happen to be synchronized with another
bfq_queue Q2, i.e., the I/O of Q2 may need to be completed for Q to
receive new I/O. We call Q2 "waker queue".
If I/O plugging is being performed for Q, and Q is not receiving any
more I/O because of the above synchronization, then, thanks to BFQ's
injection mechanism, the waker queue is likely to get served before
the I/O-plugging timeout fires.
Unfortunately, this fact may not be sufficient to guarantee a high
throughput during the I/O plugging, because the inject limit for Q may
be too low to guarantee a lot of injected I/O. In addition, the
duration of the plugging, i.e., the time before Q finally receives new
I/O, may not be minimized, because the waker queue may happen to be
served only after other queues.
To address these issues, this commit introduces the explicit detection
of the waker queue, and the unconditional injection of a pending I/O
request of the waker queue on each invocation of
bfq_dispatch_request().
One may be concerned that this systematic injection of I/O from the
waker queue delays the service of Q's I/O. Fortunately, it doesn't. On
the contrary, next Q's I/O is brought forward dramatically, for it is
not blocked for milliseconds.

Until the base value for request service times gets finally computed
for a bfq_queue, the inject limit for that queue does depend on the
think-time state (short|long) of the queue. A timely update of the
think time then guarantees a quicker activation or deactivation of the
injection. Fortunately, the think time of a bfq_queue is updated in
the same code path as the inject limit; but after the inject limit.
This commits moves the update of the think time before the update of
the inject limit. For coherence, it moves the update of the seek time
too.

I/O injection gets reduced if it increases the request service times
of the victim queue beyond a certain threshold. The threshold, in its
turn, is computed as a function of the base service time enjoyed by
the queue when it undergoes no injection.
As a consequence, for injection to work properly, the above base value
has to be accurate. In this respect, such a value may vary over
time. For example, it varies if the size or the spatial locality of
the I/O requests in the queue change. It is then important to update
this value whenever possible. This commit performs this update.

One of the cases where the parameters for injection may be updated is
when there are no more in-flight I/O requests. The number of in-flight
requests is stored in the field bfqd->rq_in_driver of the descriptor
bfqd of the device. So, the controlled condition is
bfqd->rq_in_driver == 0.
Unfortunately, this is wrong because, the instruction that checks this
condition is in the code path that handles the completion of a
request, and, in particular, the instruction is executed before
bfqd->rq_in_driver is decremented in such a code path.
This commit fixes this issue by just replacing 0 with 1 in the

Until the base value of the request service times gets finally
computed for a bfq_queue, the inject limit does depend on the
think-time state (short|long). The limit must be 0 or 1 if the think
time is deemed, respectively, as short or long. However, such a check
and possible limit update is performed only periodically, once per
second. So, to make the injection mechanism much more reactive, this
commit performs the update also every time the think-time state
changes.
In addition, in the following special case, this commit lets the
inject limit of a bfq_queue bfqq remain equal to 1 even if bfqq's
think time is short: bfqq's I/O is synchronized with that of some
other queue, i.e., bfqq may receive new I/O only after the I/O of the
other queue is completed. Keeping the inject limit to 1 allows the
blocking I/O to be served while bfqq is in service. And this is very
convenient both for bfqq and for the total throughput, as explained
in detail in the comments in bfq_update_has_short_ttime().

Now that we've a helper function blk_op_str() to convert the
REQ_OP_XXX to string XXX, adjust the code to use that. Get rid of
the duplicate array op_name which is now present in the blk-core.c
which we renamed it to "blk_op_name" and open coding in the
blk-mq-debugfs.c.

In order to centralize the REQ_OP_XXX to string conversion which can be
used in the block layer and different places in the kernel like f2fs,
this patch adds a new helper function along with an array similar to the
one present in the blk-mq-debugfs.c.
We keep this helper functionality centralize under blk-core.c instead of
blk-mq-debugfs.c since blk-core.c is configured using CONFIG_BLOCK and
it will not be dependent on blk-mq-debugfs.c which is configured using
CONFIG_BLK_DEBUG_FS.
Next patch adjusts the code in the blk-mq-debugfs.c with newly
introduced helper.

We only need the number of segments in the blk-mq submission path.
Remove the field from struct bio, and return it from a variant of
blk_queue_split instead of that it can passed as an argument to
those functions that need the value.
This also means we stop recounting segments except for cloning
and partial segments.
To keep the number of arguments in this how path down remove
pointless struct request_queue arguments from any of the functions
that had it and grew a nr_segs argument.

As is, iolatency recognizes done_bio and cleanup as ending paths. If a
request is marked REQ_NOWAIT and fails to get a request, the bio is
cleaned up via rq_qos_cleanup() and ended in bio_wouldblock_error().
This results in underflowing the inflight counter. Fix this by only
accounting bios that were actually submitted.
