2020-05-29blk-mq: drain I/O when all CPUs in a hctx are offlineMing Lei1-1/+1
Most of blk-mq drivers depend on managed IRQ's auto-affinity to setup up queue mapping. Thomas mentioned the following point[1]: "That was the constraint of managed interrupts from the very beginning: The driver/subsystem has to quiesce the interrupt line and the associated queue _before_ it gets shutdown in CPU unplug and not fiddle with it until it's restarted by the core when the CPU is plugged in again." However, current blk-mq implementation doesn't quiesce hw queue before the last CPU in the hctx is shutdown. Even worse, CPUHP_BLK_MQ_DEAD is a cpuhp state handled after the CPU is down, so there isn't any chance to quiesce the hctx before shutting down the CPU. Add new CPUHP_AP_BLK_MQ_ONLINE state to stop allocating from blk-mq hctxs where the last CPU goes away, and wait for completion of in-flight requests. This guarantees that there is no inflight I/O before shutting down the managed IRQ. Add a BLK_MQ_F_STACKING and set it for dm-rq and loop, so we don't need to wait for completion of in-flight requests from these drivers to avoid a potential dead-lock. It is safe to do this for stacking drivers as those do not use interrupts at all and their I/O completions are triggered by underlying devices I/O completion.

2019-09-05block: Delay default elevator initializationDamien Le Moal1-1/+1
When elevator_init_mq() is called from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(), the only information known about the device is the number of hardware queues as the block device scan by the device driver is not completed yet for most drivers. The device type and elevator required features are not set yet, preventing to correctly select the default elevator most suitable for the device. This currently affects all multi-queue zoned block devices which default to the "none" elevator instead of the required "mq-deadline" elevator. These drives currently include host-managed SMR disks connected to a smartpqi HBA and null_blk block devices with zoned mode enabled. Upcoming NVMe Zoned Namespace devices will also be affected. Fix this by adding the boolean elevator_init argument to blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() to control the execution of elevator_init_mq(). Two cases exist: 1) elevator_init = false is used for calls to blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() within blk_mq_init_queue(). In this case, a call to elevator_init_mq() is added to __device_add_disk(), resulting in the delayed initialization of the queue elevator after the device driver finished probing the device information. This effectively allows elevator_init_mq() access to more information about the device. 2) elevator_init = true preserves the current behavior of initializing the elevator directly from blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(). This case is used for the special request based DM devices where the device gendisk is created before the queue initialization and device information (e.g. queue limits) is already known when the queue initialization is executed. Additionally, to make sure that the elevator initialization is never done while requests are in-flight (there should be none when the device driver calls device_add_disk()), freeze and quiesce the device request queue before calling blk_mq_init_sched() in elevator_init_mq().

2019-08-04blk-mq: add callback of .cleanup_rqMing Lei1-0/+1
SCSI maintains its own driver private data hooked off of each SCSI request, and the pridate data won't be freed after scsi_queue_rq() returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE. An upper layer driver (e.g. dm-rq) may need to retry these SCSI requests, before SCSI has fully dispatched them, due to a lower level SCSI driver's resource limitation identified in scsi_queue_rq(). Currently SCSI's per-request private data is leaked when the upper layer driver (dm-rq) frees and then retries these requests in response to BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE returns from scsi_queue_rq(). This usecase is so specialized that it doesn't warrant training an existing blk-mq interface (e.g. blk_mq_free_request) to allow SCSI to account for freeing its driver private data -- doing so would add an extra branch for handling a special case that all other consumers of SCSI (and blk-mq) won't ever need to worry about. So the most pragmatic way forward is to delegate freeing SCSI driver private data to the upper layer driver (dm-rq). Do so by adding new .cleanup_rq callback and calling a new blk_mq_cleanup_rq() method from dm-rq. A following commit will implement the .cleanup_rq() hook in scsi_mq_ops. Cc: Ewan D.

2019-04-25dm mpath: fix missing call of path selector type->end_ioYufen Yu1-4/+4
After commit 396eaf21ee17 ("blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via blk_insert_cloned_request feedback"), map_request() will requeue the tio when issued clone request return BLK_STS_RESOURCE or BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE. Thus, if device driver status is error, a tio may be requeued multiple times until the return value is not DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE. That means type->start_io may be called multiple times, while type->end_io is only called when IO complete. In fact, even without commit 396eaf21ee17, setup_clone() failure can also cause tio requeue and associated missed call to type->end_io. The service-time path selector selects path based on in_flight_size, which is increased by st_start_io() and decreased by st_end_io(). Missed calls to st_end_io() can lead to in_flight_size count error and will cause the selector to make the wrong choice. In addition, queue-length path selector will also be affected. To fix the problem, call type->end_io in ->release_clone_rq before tio requeue. map_info is passed to ->release_clone_rq() for map_request() error path that result in requeue.

2019-04-04dm: disable DISCARD if the underlying storage no longer supports itMike Snitzer1-4/+7
Storage devices which report supporting discard commands like WRITE_SAME_16 with unmap, but reject discard commands sent to the storage device. This is a clear storage firmware bug but it doesn't change the fact that should a program cause discards to be sent to a multipath device layered on this buggy storage, all paths can end up failed at the same time from the discards, causing possible I/O loss. The first discard to a path will fail with Illegal Request, Invalid field in cdb, e.g.: kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 Sense Key : Illegal Request [current] kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 Add. Sense: Invalid field in cdb kernel: sd 8:0:8:19: [sdfn] tag#0 CDB: Write same(16) 93 08 00 00 00 00 00 a0 08 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 kernel: blk_update_request: critical target error, dev sdfn, sector 10487808 The SCSI layer converts this to the BLK_STS_TARGET error number, the sd device disables its support for discard on this path, and because of the BLK_STS_TARGET error multipath fails the discard without failing any path or retrying down a different path. But subsequent discards can cause path failures. Any discards sent to the path which already failed a discard ends up failing with EIO from blk_cloned_rq_check_limits with an "over max size limit" error since the discard limit was set to 0 by the sd driver for the path. As the error is EIO, this now fails the path and multipath tries to send the discard down the next path. This cycle continues as discards are sent until all paths fail. Fix this by training DM core to disable DISCARD if the underlying storage already did so. Also, fix branching in dm_done() and clone_endio() to reflect the mutually exclussive nature of the IO operations in question.

2019-02-06dm: add memory barrier before waitqueue_activeMikulas Patocka1-1/+1
Block core changes to switch bio-based IO accounting to be percpu had a side-effect of altering DM core to now rely on calling waitqueue_active (in both bio-based and request-based) to check if another task is in dm_wait_for_completion(). A memory barrier is needed before calling waitqueue_active(). DM core doesn't piggyback on a preceding memory barrier so it must explicitly use its own. For more details on why using waitqueue_active() without a preceding barrier is unsafe, please see the comment before the waitqueue_active() definition in include/linux/wait.h.

2018-01-30blk-mq: introduce BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCEMing Lei1-3/+2
This status is returned from driver to block layer if device related resource is unavailable, but driver can guarantee that IO dispatch will be triggered in future when the resource is available. Convert some drivers to return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE. Also, if driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE and SCHED_RESTART is set, rerun queue after a delay (BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE) to avoid IO stalls. BLK_MQ_DELAY_QUEUE is 3 ms because both scsi-mq and nvmefc are using that magic value. If a driver can make sure there is in-flight IO, it is safe to return BLK_STS_DEV_RESOURCE because: 1) If all in-flight IOs complete before examining SCHED_RESTART in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), SCHED_RESTART must be cleared, so queue is run immediately in this case by blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(); 2) if there is any in-flight IO after/when examining SCHED_RESTART in blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(): - if SCHED_RESTART isn't set, queue is run immediately as handled in 1) - otherwise, this request will be dispatched after any in-flight IO is completed via blk_mq_sched_restart() 3) if SCHED_RESTART is set concurently in context because of BLK_STS_RESOURCE, blk_mq_delay_run_hw_queue() will cover the above two cases and make sure IO hang can be avoided. One invariant is that queue will be rerun if SCHED_RESTART is set.

2018-01-17blk-mq: improve DM's blk-mq IO merging via blk_insert_cloned_request feedbackMing Lei1-3/+16
blk_insert_cloned_request() is called in the fast path of a dm-rq driver (e.g. blk-mq request-based DM mpath). blk_insert_cloned_request() uses blk_mq_request_bypass_insert() to directly append the request to the blk-mq hctx->dispatch_list of the underlying queue. 1) This way isn't efficient enough because the hctx spinlock is always used. 2) With blk_insert_cloned_request(), we completely bypass underlying queue's elevator and depend on the upper-level dm-rq driver's elevator to schedule IO. But dm-rq currently can't get the underlying queue's dispatch feedback at all. Without knowing whether a request was issued or not (e.g. due to underlying queue being busy) the dm-rq elevator will not be able to provide effective IO merging (as a side-effect of dm-rq currently blindly destaging a request from its elevator only to requeue it after a delay, which kills any opportunity for merging). This obviously causes very bad sequential IO performance. Fix this by updating blk_insert_cloned_request() to use blk_mq_request_direct_issue(). blk_mq_request_direct_issue() allows a request to be issued directly to the underlying queue and returns the dispatch feedback (blk_status_t). If blk_mq_request_direct_issue() returns BLK_SYS_RESOURCE the dm-rq driver will now use DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to _not_ destage the request. Whereby preserving the opportunity to merge IO. With this, request-based DM's blk-mq sequential IO performance is vastly improved (as much as 3X in mpath/virtio-scsi testing).

2018-01-15dm: fix incomplete request_queue initializationMike Snitzer1-9/+0
DM is no longer prone to having its request_queue be improperly initialized. Summary of changes: - defer DM's blk_register_queue() from add_disk()-time until dm_setup_md_queue() by using add_disk_no_queue_reg() in alloc_dev(). - dm_setup_md_queue() is updated to fully initialize DM's request_queue (_after_ all table loads have occurred and the request_queue's type, features and limits are known). A very welcome side-effect of these changes is DM no longer needs to: 1) backfill the "mq" sysfs entry (because historically DM didn't initialize the request_queue to use blk-mq until _after_ blk_register_queue() was called via add_disk()). 2) call elv_register_queue() to get .request_fn request-based DM device's "iosched" exposed in syfs. In addition, blk-mq debugfs support is now made available because request-based DM's blk-mq request_queue is now properly initialized before dm_setup_md_queue() calls blk_register_queue(). These changes also stave off the need to introduce new DM-specific workarounds in block core, e.g. this proposal: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10067961/ In the end DM devices should be less unicorn in nature (relative to initialization and availability of block core infrastructure provided by the request_queue).

2017-08-28dm rq: do not update rq partially in each ending bioMing Lei1-11/+7
We don't need to update the original dm request partially when ending each cloned bio: just update original dm request once when the whole cloned request is finished. This still allows full support for partial completion because a new 'completed' counter accounts for incremental progress as the clone bios complete. Partial request update can be a bit expensive, so we should try to avoid it, especially because it is run in softirq context. Avoiding all the partial request updates fixes both hard lockup and soft lockups that were easily reproduced while running Laurence's test[1] on IB/SRP. BTW, after d4acf3650c7c ("block: Make blk_mq_delay_kick_requeue_list() rerun the queue at a quiet time"), we need to make the test more aggressive for reproducing the lockup: 1) run hammer_write.sh 32 or 64 concurrently. 2) write 8M each time [1] https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=150220185510245&w=2 Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>

2017-06-09block: introduce new block status code typeChristoph Hellwig1-10/+10
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later. For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging fruite to improve it. blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

2017-04-24dm mpath: requeue after a small delay if blk_get_request() failsBart Van Assche1-1/+1
If blk_get_request() returns ENODEV then multipath_clone_and_map() causes a request to be requeued immediately. This can cause a kworker thread to spend 100% of the CPU time of a single core in __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() and also can cause device removal to never finish. Avoid this by only requeuing after a delay if blk_get_request() fails. Additionally, reduce the requeue delay.
