2020-09-24bdi: replace BDI_CAP_NO_{WRITEBACK,ACCT_DIRTY} with a single flagChristoph Hellwig1-4/+2

2020-09-24bdi: replace BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES with a queue and a sb flagChristoph Hellwig1-4/+3
The BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES is one of the few bits of information in the backing_dev_info shared between the block drivers and the writeback code. To help untangling the dependency replace it with a queue flag and a superblock flag derived from it. This also helps with the case of e.g. a file system requiring stable writes due to its own checksumming, but not forcing it on other users of the block device like the swap code. One downside is that we an't support the stable_pages_required bdi attribute in sysfs anymore. It is replaced with a queue attribute which also is writable for easier testing.

2020-01-31memcg: fix a crash in wb_workfn when a device disappearsTheodore Ts'o1-0/+1
Without memcg, there is a one-to-one mapping between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures. In this world, things are fairly straightforward; the first thing bdi_unregister() does is to shutdown the bdi_writeback structure (or wb), and part of that writeback ensures that no other work queued against the wb, and that the wb is fully drained. With memcg, however, there is a one-to-many relationship between the bdi and bdi_writeback structures; that is, there are multiple wb objects which can all point to a single bdi. There is a refcount which prevents the bdi object from being released (and hence, unregistered). So in theory, the bdi_unregister() *should* only get called once its refcount goes to zero (bdi_put will drop the refcount, and when it is zero, release_bdi gets called, which calls bdi_unregister). Unfortunately, del_gendisk() in block/gen_hd.c never got the memo about the Brave New memcg World, and calls bdi_unregister directly. It does this without informing the file system, or the memcg code, or anything else. This causes the root wb associated with the bdi to be unregistered, but none of the memcg-specific wb's are shutdown. So when one of these wb's are woken up to do delayed work, they try to dereference their wb->bdi->dev to fetch the device name, but unfortunately bdi->dev is now NULL, thanks to the bdi_unregister() called by del_gendisk(). As a result, *boom*. Fortunately, it looks like the rest of the writeback path is perfectly happy with bdi->dev and bdi->owner being NULL, so the simplest fix is to create a bdi_dev_name() function which can handle bdi->dev being NULL. This also allows us to bulletproof the writeback tracepoints to prevent them from dereferencing a NULL pointer and crashing the kernel if one is tracing with memcg's enabled, and an iSCSI device dies or a USB storage stick is pulled. The most common way of triggering this will be hotremoval of a device while writeback with memcg enabled is going on. It was triggering several times a day in a heavily loaded production environment.

2019-10-06bdi: Do not use freezable workqueueMika Westerberg1-2/+2
A removable block device, such as NVMe or SSD connected over Thunderbolt can be hot-removed any time including when the system is suspended. When device is hot-removed during suspend and the system gets resumed, kernel first resumes devices and then thaws the userspace including freezable workqueues. What happens in that case is that the NVMe driver notices that the device is unplugged and removes it from the system. This ends up calling bdi_unregister() for the gendisk which then schedules wb_workfn() to be run one more time. However, since the bdi_wq is still frozen flush_delayed_work() call in wb_shutdown() blocks forever halting system resume process. User sees this as hang as nothing is happening anymore. Triggering sysrq-w reveals this: Workqueue: nvme-wq nvme_remove_dead_ctrl_work [nvme] Call Trace: ? __schedule+0x2c5/0x630 ? wait_for_completion+0xa4/0x120 schedule+0x3e/0xc0 schedule_timeout+0x1c9/0x320 ? resched_curr+0x1f/0xd0 ? wait_for_completion+0xa4/0x120 wait_for_completion+0xc3/0x120 ? wake_up_q+0x60/0x60 __flush_work+0x131/0x1e0 ? flush_workqueue_prep_pwqs+0x130/0x130 bdi_unregister+0xb9/0x130 del_gendisk+0x2d2/0x2e0 nvme_ns_remove+0xed/0x110 [nvme_core] nvme_remove_namespaces+0x96/0xd0 [nvme_core] nvme_remove+0x5b/0x160 [nvme] pci_device_remove+0x36/0x90 device_release_driver_internal+0xdf/0x1c0 nvme_remove_dead_ctrl_work+0x14/0x30 [nvme] process_one_work+0x1c2/0x3f0 worker_thread+0x48/0x3e0 kthread+0x100/0x140 ? current_work+0x30/0x30 ? kthread_park+0x80/0x80 ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40 This is not limited to NVMes so exactly same issue can be reproduced by hot-removing SSD (over Thunderbolt) while the system is suspended.

2019-01-22writeback: synchronize sync(2) against cgroup writeback membership switchesTejun Heo1-0/+1
sync_inodes_sb() can race against cgwb (cgroup writeback) membership switches and fail to writeback some inodes. For example, if an inode switches to another wb while sync_inodes_sb() is in progress, the new wb might not be visible to bdi_split_work_to_wbs() at all or the inode might jump from a wb which hasn't issued writebacks yet to one which already has. This patch adds backing_dev_info->wb_switch_rwsem to synchronize cgwb switch path against sync_inodes_sb() so that sync_inodes_sb() is guaranteed to see all the target wbs and inodes can't jump wbs to escape syncing. v2: Fixed misplaced rwsem init.

2018-08-31blkcg: delay blkg destruction until after writeback has finishedDennis Zhou (Facebook)1-0/+5
Currently, blkcg destruction relies on a sequence of events: 1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called and blkgs release their reference to the blkcg. This immediately destroys the cgwbs (writeback). 2. With blkgs giving up their reference, the blkcg ref count should become zero and eventually call blkcg_css_free() which finally frees the blkcg. Jiufei Xue reported that there is a race between blkcg_bio_issue_check() and cgroup_rmdir(). To remedy this, blkg destruction becomes contingent on the completion of all writeback associated with the blkcg. A count of the number of cgwbs is maintained and once that goes to zero, blkg destruction can follow. This should prevent premature blkg destruction related to writeback. The new process for blkcg cleanup is as follows: 1. Destruction starts. blkcg_css_offline() is called which offlines writeback. Blkg destruction is delayed on the cgwb_refcnt count to avoid punting potentially large amounts of outstanding writeback to root while maintaining any ongoing policies. Here, the base cgwb_refcnt is put back. 2. When the cgwb_refcnt becomes zero, blkcg_destroy_blkgs() is called and handles destruction of blkgs. This is where the css reference held by each blkg is released. 3. Once the blkcg ref count goes to zero, blkcg_css_free() is called. This finally frees the blkg. It seems in the past blk-throttle didn't do the most understandable things with taking data from a blkg while associating with current. So, the simplification and unification of what blk-throttle is doing caused this.

2018-06-22bdi: Fix another oops in wb_workfn()Jan Kara1-13/+7
syzbot is reporting NULL pointer dereference at wb_workfn() [1] due to wb->bdi->dev being NULL. And Dmitry confirmed that wb->state was WB_shutting_down after wb->bdi->dev became NULL. This indicates that unregister_bdi() failed to call wb_shutdown() on one of wb objects. The problem is in cgwb_bdi_unregister() which does cgwb_kill() and thus drops bdi's reference to wb structures before going through the list of wbs again and calling wb_shutdown() on each of them. This way the loop iterating through all wbs can easily miss a wb if that wb has already passed through cgwb_remove_from_bdi_list() called from wb_shutdown() from cgwb_release_workfn() and as a result fully shutdown bdi although wb_workfn() for this wb structure is still running. In fact there are also other ways cgwb_bdi_unregister() can race with cgwb_release_workfn() leading e.g. to use-after-free issues: CPU1 CPU2 cgwb_bdi_unregister() cgwb_kill(*slot); cgwb_release() queue_work(cgwb_release_wq, &wb->release_work); cgwb_release_workfn() wb = list_first_entry(&bdi->wb_list, ...) spin_unlock_irq(&cgwb_lock); wb_shutdown(wb); ... kfree_rcu(wb, rcu); wb_shutdown(wb); -> oops use-after-free We solve these issues by synchronizing writeback structure shutdown from cgwb_bdi_unregister() with cgwb_release_workfn() using a new mutex. That way we also no longer need synchronization using WB_shutting_down as the mutex provides it for CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK case and without CONFIG_CGROUP_WRITEBACK wb_shutdown() can be called only once from bdi_unregister().

Depending on the number of cgroups or block devices, there can be a lot of cgwb_release_workfn() in flight at the same time. We're periodically seeing close to 256 kworkers getting stuck with the following stack trace and overtime the entire system gets stuck. [<ffffffff810ee40c>] _synchronize_rcu_expedited.constprop.72+0x2fc/0x330 [<ffffffff810ee634>] synchronize_rcu_expedited+0x24/0x30 [<ffffffff811ccf23>] bdi_unregister+0x53/0x290 [<ffffffff811cd1e9>] release_bdi+0x89/0xc0 [<ffffffff811cd645>] wb_exit+0x85/0xa0 [<ffffffff811cdc84>] cgwb_release_workfn+0x54/0xb0 [<ffffffff810a68d0>] process_one_work+0x150/0x410 [<ffffffff810a71fd>] worker_thread+0x6d/0x520 [<ffffffff810ad3dc>] kthread+0x12c/0x160 [<ffffffff81969019>] ret_from_fork+0x29/0x40 [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff The events leading to the lockup are... 1. A lot of cgwb_release_workfn() is queued at the same time and all system_wq kworkers are assigned to execute them. 2. They all end up calling synchronize_rcu_expedited(). One of them wins and tries to perform the expedited synchronization. 3. However, that invovles queueing rcu_exp_work to system_wq and waiting for it. Because #1 is holding all available kworkers on system_wq, rcu_exp_work can't be executed. cgwb_release_workfn() is waiting for synchronize_rcu_expedited() which in turn is waiting for cgwb_release_workfn() to free up some of the kworkers. We shouldn't be scheduling hundreds of cgwb_release_workfn() at the same time. There's nothing to be gained from that. This patch updates cgwb release path to use a dedicated percpu workqueue with @max_active of 1. While this resolves the problem at hand, it might be a good idea to isolate rcu_exp_work to its own workqueue too as it can be used from various paths and is prone to this sort of indirect A-A deadlocks.

This seems to be because commit 5318ce7d46866e1d ("bdi: Shutdown writeback on all cgwbs in cgwb_bdi_destroy()") forgot to call wake_up_bit(WB_shutting_down) after clear_bit(WB_shutting_down). Introduce a helper function clear_and_wake_up_bit() and use it, in order to avoid similar errors in future.

2018-04-11mm/vmscan: don't mess with pgdat->flags in memcg reclaimAndrey Ryabinin1-13/+6
memcg reclaim may alter pgdat->flags based on the state of LRU lists in cgroup and its children. PGDAT_WRITEBACK may force kswapd to sleep congested_wait(), PGDAT_DIRTY may force kswapd to writeback filesystem pages. But the worst here is PGDAT_CONGESTED, since it may force all direct reclaims to stall in wait_iff_congested(). Note that only kswapd have powers to clear any of these bits. This might just never happen if cgroup limits configured that way. So all direct reclaims will stall as long as we have some congested bdi in the system. Leave all pgdat->flags manipulations to kswapd. kswapd scans the whole pgdat, only kswapd can clear pgdat->flags once node is balanced, thus it's reasonable to leave all decisions about node state to kswapd. Why only kswapd? Why not allow to global direct reclaim change these flags? It is because currently only kswapd can clear these flags. I'm less worried about the case when PGDAT_CONGESTED falsely not set, and more worried about the case when it falsely set. If direct reclaimer sets PGDAT_CONGESTED, do we have guarantee that after the congestion problem is sorted out, kswapd will be woken up and clear the flag? It seems like there is no such guarantee. E.g. direct reclaimers may eventually balance pgdat and kswapd simply won't wake up (see wakeup_kswapd()). Moving pgdat->flags manipulation to kswapd, means that cgroup2 recalim now loses its congestion throttling mechanism. Add per-cgroup congestion state and throttle cgroup2 reclaimers if memcg is in congestion state. Currently there is no need in per-cgroup PGDAT_WRITEBACK and PGDAT_DIRTY bits since they alter only kswapd behavior. The problem could be easily demonstrated by creating heavy congestion in one cgroup: echo "+memory" > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/congester echo 512M > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/memory.max echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/congester/cgroup.procs /* generate a lot of diry data on slow HDD */ while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done & .... while true; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdb/zeroes bs=1M count=1024; done & and some job in another cgroup: mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/victim echo 128M > /sys/fs/cgroup/victim/memory.max # time cat /dev/sda > /dev/null real 10m15.054s user 0m0.487s sys 1m8.505s According to the tracepoint in wait_iff_congested(), the 'cat' spent 50% of the time sleeping there.

Currently we waited for all cgwbs to get freed in cgwb_bdi_destroy() which also means that writeback has been shutdown on them. Since this wait is going away, directly shutdown writeback on cgwbs from cgwb_bdi_destroy() to avoid live writeback structures after bdi_unregister() has finished. To make that safe with concurrent shutdown from cgwb_release_workfn(), we also have to make sure wb_shutdown() returns only after the bdi_writeback structure is really shutdown.

2017-03-22bdi: Unify bdi->wb_list handling for root wb_writebackJan Kara1-6/+28
Currently root wb_writeback structure is added to bdi->wb_list in bdi_init() and never removed. That is different from all other wb_writeback structures which get added to the list when created and removed from it before wb_shutdown(). So move list addition of root bdi_writeback to bdi_register() and list removal of all wb_writeback structures to wb_shutdown(). That way a wb_writeback structure is on bdi->wb_list if and only if it can handle writeback and it will make it easier for us to handle shutdown of all wb_writeback structures in bdi_unregister().

2017-03-22bdi: Mark congested->bdi as internalJan Kara1-5/+5
congested->bdi pointer is used only to be able to remove congested structure from bdi->cgwb_congested_tree on structure release. Moreover the pointer can become NULL when we unregister the bdi. Rename the field to __bdi and add a comment to make it more explicit this is internal stuff of memcg writeback code and people should not use the field as such use will be likely race prone. We do not bother with converting congested->bdi to a proper refcounted reference. It will be slightly ugly to special-case bdi->wb.congested to avoid effectively a cyclic reference of bdi to itself and the reference gets cleared from bdi_unregister() making it impossible to reference a freed bdi.

2017-03-08bdi: Fix use-after-free in wb_congested_put()Jan Kara1-15/+21
bdi_writeback_congested structures get created for each blkcg and bdi regardless whether bdi is registered or not. When they are created in unregistered bdi and the request queue (and thus bdi) is then destroyed while blkg still holds reference to bdi_writeback_congested structure, this structure will be referencing freed bdi and last wb_congested_put() will try to remove the structure from already freed bdi. With commit 165a5e22fafb "block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()", SCSI started to destroy bdis without calling bdi_unregister() first (previously it was calling bdi_unregister() even for unregistered bdis) and thus the code detaching bdi_writeback_congested in cgwb_bdi_destroy() was not triggered and we started hitting this use-after-free bug. It is enough to boot a KVM instance with virtio-scsi device to trigger this behavior. Fix the problem by detaching bdi_writeback_congested structures in bdi_exit() instead of bdi_unregister(). This is also more logical as they can get attached to bdi regardless whether it ever got registered or not.

2017-03-08block: Allow bdi re-registrationJan Kara1-0/+7
SCSI can call device_add_disk() several times for one request queue when a device in unbound and bound, creating new gendisk each time. This will lead to bdi being repeatedly registered and unregistered. This was not a big problem until commit 165a5e22fafb "block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()" since bdi was only registered repeatedly (bdi_register() handles repeated calls fine, only we ended up leaking reference to gendisk due to overwriting bdi->owner) but unregistered only in blk_cleanup_queue() which didn't get called repeatedly. After 165a5e22fafb we were doing correct bdi_register() - bdi_unregister() cycles however bdi_unregister() is not prepared for it. So make sure bdi_unregister() cleans up bdi in such a way that it is prepared for a possible following bdi_register() call. An easy way to provoke this behavior is to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE and use scsi_debug driver to create a scsi disk which immediately hangs without this fix.
