2017-11-10blk-mq: only run the hardware queue if IO is pendingJens Axboe1-1/+1
Currently we are inconsistent in when we decide to run the queue. Using blk_mq_run_hw_queues() we check if the hctx has pending IO before running it, but we don't do that from the individual queue run function, blk_mq_run_hw_queue(). This results in a lot of extra and pointless queue runs, potentially, on flush requests and (much worse) on tag starvation situations. This is observable just looking at top output, with lots of kworkers active. For the !async runs, it just adds to the CPU overhead of blk-mq. Move the has-pending check into the run function instead of having callers do it. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2017-11-10block, scsi: Make SCSI quiesce and resume work reliablyBart Van Assche2-1/+2
The contexts from which a SCSI device can be quiesced or resumed are: * Writing into /sys/class/scsi_device/*/device/state. * SCSI parallel (SPI) domain validation. * The SCSI device power management methods. See also scsi_bus_pm_ops. It is essential during suspend and resume that neither the filesystem state nor the filesystem metadata in RAM changes. This is why while the hibernation image is being written or restored that SCSI devices are quiesced. The SCSI core quiesces devices through scsi_device_quiesce() and scsi_device_resume(). In the SDEV_QUIESCE state execution of non-preempt requests is deferred. This is realized by returning BLKPREP_DEFER from inside scsi_prep_state_check() for quiesced SCSI devices. Avoid that a full queue prevents power management requests to be submitted by deferring allocation of non-preempt requests for devices in the quiesced state. This patch has been tested by running the following commands and by verifying that after each resume the fio job was still running: for ((i=0; i<10; i++)); do ( cd /sys/block/md0/md && while true; do [ "$(<sync_action)" = "idle" ] && echo check > sync_action sleep 1 done ) & pids=($!) for d in /sys/class/block/sd*[a-z]; do bdev=${d#/sys/class/block/} hcil=$(readlink "$d/device") hcil=${hcil#../../../} echo 4 > "$d/queue/nr_requests" echo 1 > "/sys/class/scsi_device/$hcil/device/queue_depth" fio --name="$bdev" --filename="/dev/$bdev" --buffered=0 --bs=512 \ --rw=randread --ioengine=libaio --numjobs=4 --iodepth=16 \ --iodepth_batch=1 --thread --loops=$((2**31)) & pids+=($!) done sleep 1 echo "$(date) Hibernating ..." >>hibernate-test-log.txt systemctl hibernate sleep 10 kill "${pids[@]}" echo idle > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action wait echo "$(date) Done." >>hibernate-test-log.txt done Reported-by: Oleksandr Natalenko <oleksandr@natalenko.name> References: "I/O hangs after resuming from suspend-to-ram" (https://marc.info/?l=linux-block&m=150340235201348).

2017-11-10blk-mq: fix issue with shared tag queue re-runningJens Axboe1-3/+2
This patch attempts to make the case of hctx re-running on driver tag failure more robust. Without this patch, it's pretty easy to trigger a stall condition with shared tags. An example is using null_blk like this: modprobe null_blk queue_mode=2 nr_devices=4 shared_tags=1 submit_queues=1 hw_queue_depth=1 which sets up 4 devices, sharing the same tag set with a depth of 1. Running a fio job ala: [global] bs=4k rw=randread norandommap direct=1 ioengine=libaio iodepth=4 [nullb0] filename=/dev/nullb0 [nullb1] filename=/dev/nullb1 [nullb2] filename=/dev/nullb2 [nullb3] filename=/dev/nullb3 will inevitably end with one or more threads being stuck waiting for a scheduler tag. That IO is then stuck forever, until someone else triggers a run of the queue. Ensure that we always re-run the hardware queue, if the driver tag we were waiting for got freed before we added our leftover request entries back on the dispatch list.

2017-11-10nvme: check admin passthru command effectsKeith Busch1-0/+18
The NVMe standard provides a command effects log page so the host may be aware of special requirements it may need to do for a particular command. For example, the command may need to run with IO quiesced to prevent timeouts or undefined behavior, or it may change the logical block formats that determine how the host needs to construct future commands. This patch saves the nvme command effects log page if the controller supports it, and performs appropriate actions before and after an admin passthrough command is completed. If the controller does not support the command effects log page, the driver will define the effects for known opcodes. The nvme format and santize are the only commands in this patch with known effects.

2017-11-01blk-mq-sched: improve dispatching from sw queueMing Lei1-0/+2
SCSI devices use host-wide tagset, and the shared driver tag space is often quite big. However, there is also a queue depth for each lun( .cmd_per_lun), which is often small, for example, on both lpfc and qla2xxx, .cmd_per_lun is just 3. So lots of requests may stay in sw queue, and we always flush all belonging to same hw queue and dispatch them all to driver. Unfortunately it is easy to cause queue busy because of the small .cmd_per_lun. Once these requests are flushed out, they have to stay in hctx->dispatch, and no bio merge can happen on these requests, and sequential IO performance is harmed. This patch introduces blk_mq_dequeue_from_ctx for dequeuing a request from a sw queue, so that we can dispatch them in scheduler's way. We can then avoid dequeueing too many requests from sw queue, since we don't flush ->dispatch completely. This patch improves dispatching from sw queue by using the .get_budget and .put_budget callbacks.

2017-11-01blk-mq: introduce .get_budget and .put_budget in blk_mq_opsMing Lei1-0/+11
For SCSI devices, there is often a per-request-queue depth, which needs to be respected before queuing one request. Currently blk-mq always dequeues the request first, then calls .queue_rq() to dispatch the request to lld. One obvious issue with this approach is that I/O merging may not be successful, because when the per-request-queue depth can't be respected, .queue_rq() has to return BLK_STS_RESOURCE, and then this request has to stay in hctx->dispatch list. This means it never gets a chance to be merged with other IO. This patch introduces .get_budget and .put_budget callback in blk_mq_ops, then we can try to get reserved budget first before dequeuing request. If the budget for queueing I/O can't be satisfied, we don't need to dequeue request at all. Hence the request can be left in the IO scheduler queue, for more merging opportunities.

2017-10-03writeback: only allow one inflight and pending full flushJens Axboe1-0/+1
When someone calls wakeup_flusher_threads() or wakeup_flusher_threads_bdi(), they schedule writeback of all dirty pages in the system (or on that bdi). If we are tight on memory, we can get tons of these queued from kswapd/vmscan. This causes (at least) two problems: 1) We consume a ton of memory just allocating writeback work items. We've seen as much as 600 million of these writeback work items pending. That's a lot of memory to pointlessly hold hostage, while the box is under memory pressure. 2) We spend so much time processing these work items, that we introduce a softlockup in writeback processing. This is because each of the writeback work items don't end up doing any work (it's hard when you have millions of identical ones coming in to the flush machinery), so we just sit in a tight loop pulling work items and deleting/freeing them. Fix this by adding a 'start_all' bit to the writeback structure, and set that when someone attempts to flush all dirty pages. The bit is cleared when we start writeback on that work item. If the bit is already set when we attempt to queue !nr_pages writeback, then we simply ignore it. This provides us one full flush in flight, with one pending as well, and makes for more efficient handling of this type of writeback.

Instead of adding weird retry logic in that function, utilize __GFP_NOFAIL to ensure that the vm takes care of handling any potential retries appropriately.

2017-09-26block: make blkcg aware of kthread stored original cgroup infoShaohua Li1-6/+7
bio_blkcg is the only API to get cgroup info for a bio right now. If bio_blkcg finds current task is a kthread and has original blkcg associated, it will use the css instead of associating the bio to current task. This makes it possible that kthread dispatches bios on behalf of other threads. Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
