block: add blk_time_get_ns() and blk_time_get() helpers Convert any user of ktime_get_ns() to use blk_time_get_ns(), and ktime_get() to blk_time_get(), so we have a unified API for querying the current time in nanoseconds or as ktime. No functional changes intended, this patch just wraps ktime_get_ns() and ktime_get() with a block helper.

blk-wbt: Fix detection of dirty-throttled tasks The detection of dirty-throttled tasks in blk-wbt has been subtly broken since its beginning in 2016. Namely if we are doing cgroup writeback and the throttled task is not in the root cgroup, balance_dirty_pages() will set dirty_sleep for the non-root bdi_writeback structure. However blk-wbt checks dirty_sleep only in the root cgroup bdi_writeback structure. Thus detection of recently throttled tasks is not working in this case (we noticed this when we switched to cgroup v2 and suddently writeback was slow). Since blk-wbt has no easy way to get to proper bdi_writeback and furthermore its intention has always been to work on the whole device rather than on individual cgroups, just move the dirty_sleep timestamp from bdi_writeback to backing_dev_info. That fixes the checking for recently throttled task and saves memory for everybody as a bonus.

blk-wbt: cleanup rwb_enabled() and wbt_disabled() 'wb_normal' will set to 0 if 'min_lat_nsec' is 0, and 'min_lat_nsec' can only be set to 0 through sysfs configuration where 'WBT_STATE_OFF_MANUAL' is set together, in the meantime, they can only be cleared together through sysfs afterwards. Hence 'wb_normal != 0' is the same as 'rwb->enable_state != WBT_STATE_OFF_MANUAL'. The code is redundan, hence replace the checking of 'wb_normal' to 'enable_state' in rwb_enabled() and reuse rwb_enabled() for wbt_disabled().

block/rq_qos: protect rq_qos apis with a new lock commit 50e34d78815e ("block: disable the elevator int del_gendisk") move rq_qos_exit() from disk_release() to del_gendisk(), this will introduce some problems: 1) If rq_qos_add() is triggered by enabling iocost/iolatency through cgroupfs, then it can concurrent with del_gendisk(), it's not safe to write 'q->rq_qos' concurrently. 2) Activate cgroup policy that is relied on rq_qos will call rq_qos_add() and blkcg_activate_policy(), and if rq_qos_exit() is called in the middle, null-ptr-dereference will be triggered in blkcg_activate_policy(). 3) blkg_conf_open_bdev() can call blkdev_get_no_open() first to find the disk, then if rq_qos_exit() from del_gendisk() is done before rq_qos_add(), then memory will be leaked. This patch add a new disk level mutex 'rq_qos_mutex': 1) The lock will protect rq_qos_exit() directly. 2) For wbt that doesn't relied on blk-cgroup, rq_qos_add() can only be called from disk initialization for now because wbt can't be destructed until rq_qos_exit(), so it's safe not to protect wbt for now. Hoever, in case that rq_qos dynamically destruction is supported in the furture, this patch also protect rq_qos_add() from wbt_init() directly, this is enough because blk-sysfs already synchronize writers with disk removal. 3) For iocost and iolatency, in order to synchronize disk removal and cgroup configuration, the lock is held after blkdev_get_no_open() from blkg_conf_open_bdev(), and is released in blkg_conf_exit(). In order to fix the above memory leak, disk_live() is checked after holding the new lock.

block: don't allow the same type rq_qos add more than once In our test of iocost, we encountered some list add/del corruptions of inner_walk list in ioc_timer_fn. The reason can be described as follows: cpu 0 cpu 1 ioc_qos_write ioc_qos_write ioc = q_to_ioc(queue); if (!ioc) { ioc = kzalloc(); ioc = q_to_ioc(queue); if (!ioc) { ioc = kzalloc(); ... rq_qos_add(q, rqos); } ... rq_qos_add(q, rqos); ... } When the io.cost.qos file is written by two cpus concurrently, rq_qos may be added to one disk twice. In that case, there will be two iocs enabled and running on one disk. They own different iocgs on their active list. In the ioc_timer_fn function, because of the iocgs from two iocs have the same root iocg, the root iocg's walk_list may be overwritten by each other and this leads to list add/del corruptions in building or destroying the inner_walk list. And so far, the blk-rq-qos framework works in case that one instance for one type rq_qos per queue by default. This patch make this explicit and also fix the crash above.

blk-wbt: introduce a new disable state to prevent false positive by rwb_enabled() Now that we disable wbt by simply zero out rwb->wb_normal in wbt_disable_default() when switch elevator to bfq, but it's not safe because it will become false positive if we change queue depth. If it become false positive between wbt_wait() and wbt_track() when submit write request, it will lead to drop rqw->inflight to -1 in wbt_done(), which will end up trigger IO hung. Fix this issue by introduce a new state which mean the wbt was disabled.

blk-wbt: fix performance regression in wbt scale_up/scale_down scale_up wakes up waiters after scaling up. But after scaling max, it should not wake up more waiters as waiters will not have anything to do. This patch fixes this by making scale_up (and also scale_down) return when threshold is reached. This bug causes increased fdatasync latency when fdatasync and dd conv=sync are performed in parallel on 4.19 compared to 4.14. This bug was introduced during refactoring of blk-wbt code.

blk-wbt: wake up all when we scale up, not down Tetsuo brought to my attention that I screwed up the scale_up/scale_down helpers when I factored out the rq-qos code. We need to wake up all the waiters when we add slots for requests to make, not when we shrink the slots. Otherwise we'll end up things waiting forever.

blk-wbt: improve waking of tasks We have two potential issues: 1) After commit 2887e41b910b, we only wake one process at the time when we finish an IO. We really want to wake up as many tasks as can queue IO. Before this commit, we woke up everyone, which could cause a thundering herd issue. 2) A task can potentially consume two wakeups, causing us to (in practice) miss a wakeup. Fix both by providing our own wakeup function, which stops __wake_up_common() from waking up more tasks if we fail to get a queueing token. With the strict ordering we have on the wait list, this wakes the right tasks and the right amount of tasks. Based on a patch from Jianchao Wang <jianchao.w.wang@oracle.com>.

blk-wbt: don't maintain inflight counts if disabled A previous commit removed the ability to have per-rq flags. We used those flags to maintain inflight counts. Since we don't have those anymore, we have to always maintain inflight counts, even if wbt is disabled. This is clearly suboptimal. Add a queue quiesce around changing the wbt latency settings from sysfs to work around this. With that, we can reliably put the enabled check in our bio_to_wbt_flags(), since we know the WBT_TRACKED flag will be consistent for the lifetime of the request.

blk-wbt: fix IO hang in wbt_wait() On wbt invariant is that if one IO is tracked via WBT_TRACKED, rqw->inflight should be updated for tracking this IO. But commit c1c80384c8f ("block: remove external dependency on wbt_flags") forgets to remove the early handling of !rwb_enabled(rwb) inside wbt_wait(), then the inflight counter may not be increased in wbt_wait(), but decreased in wbt_done() for this kind of IO, so this counter may become negative, then wbt_wait() may wait forever.

blk-wbt: Avoid lock contention and thundering herd issue in wbt_wait I am currently running a large bare metal instance (i3.metal) on EC2 with 72 cores, 512GB of RAM and NVME drives, with a 4.18 kernel. I have a workload that simulates a database workload and I am running into lockup issues when writeback throttling is enabled,with the hung task detector also kicking in. Crash dumps show that most CPUs (up to 50 of them) are all trying to get the wbt wait queue lock while trying to add themselves to it in __wbt_wait (see stack traces below).

The original intention of the code seems to be to wake up one thread only however, it uses wake_up_all() in __wbt_done(), and then uses the following check in __wbt_wait to have only one thread actually get out of the wait loop: if (waitqueue_active(&rqw->wait) && rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry) return false; The problem with this is that the wait entry in wbt_wait is define with DEFINE_WAIT, which uses the autoremove wakeup function. That means that the above check is invalid - the wait entry will have been removed from the queue already by the time we hit the check in the loop. Secondly, auto-removing the wait entries also means that the wait queue essentially gets reordered "randomly" (e.g. threads re-add themselves in the order they got to run after being woken up). Additionally, new requests entering wbt_wait might overtake requests that were queued earlier, because the wait queue will be (temporarily) empty after the wake_up_all, so the waitqueue_active check will not stop them. This can cause certain threads to starve under high load. The fix is to leave the woken up requests in the queue and remove them in finish_wait() once the current thread breaks out of the wait loop in __wbt_wait. This will ensure new requests always end up at the back of the queue, and they won't overtake requests that are already in the wait queue. With that change, the loop in wbt_wait is also in line with many other wait loops in the kernel. Waking up just one thread drastically reduces lock contention, as does moving the wait queue add/remove out of the loop. A significant drop in lockdep's lock contention numbers is seen when running the test application on the patched kernel.

blk-wbt: account flush requests correctly Mikulas reported a workload that saw bad performance, and figured out what it was due to various other types of requests being accounted as reads. Flush requests, for instance. Due to the high latency of those, we heavily throttle the writes to keep the latencies in balance. But they really should be accounted as writes. Fix this by checking the exact type of the request. If it's a read, account as a read, if it's a write or a flush, account as a write. Any other request we disregard. Previously everything would have been mistakenly accounted as reads. Reported-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.12+ Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the coccinelle script shown below and apply its output. For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in churn. However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following coccinelle script: ---- // Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and // WRITE_ONCE() // $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ expression E1, E2; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2 + WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2) @ depends on patch @ expression E; @@ - ACCESS_ONCE(E) + READ_ONCE(E) ---- Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

sched/wait: Disambiguate wq_entry->task_list and wq_head->task_list naming So I've noticed a number of instances where it was not obvious from the code whether ->task_list was for a wait-queue head or a wait-queue entry. Furthermore, there's a number of wait-queue users where the lists are not for 'tasks' but other entities (poll tables, etc.), in which case the 'task_list' name is actively confusing. To clear this all up, name the wait-queue head and entry list structure fields unambiguously: struct wait_queue_head::task_list => ::head struct wait_queue_entry::task_list => ::entry For example, this code: rqw->wait.task_list.next != &wait->task_list ... is was pretty unclear (to me) what it's doing, while now it's written this way: rqw->wait.head.next != &wait->entry ... which makes it pretty clear that we are iterating a list until we see the head. Other examples are: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->task_list, task_list) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.task_list, task_list) { ... where it's unclear (to me) what we are iterating, and during review it's hard to tell whether it's trying to walk a wait-queue entry (which would be a bug), while now it's written as: list_for_each_entry_safe(pos, next, &x->head, entry) { list_for_each_entry(wq, &fence->wait.head, entry) { Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

sched/wait: Rename wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t Rename: wait_queue_t => wait_queue_entry_t 'wait_queue_t' was always a slight misnomer: its name implies that it's a "queue", but in reality it's a queue *entry*. The 'real' queue is the wait queue head, which had to carry the name. Start sorting this out by renaming it to 'wait_queue_entry_t'. This also allows the real structure name 'struct __wait_queue' to lose its double underscore and become 'struct wait_queue_entry', which is the more canonical nomenclature for such data types.

block: Make writeback throttling defaults consistent for SQ devices When CFQ is used as an elevator, it disables writeback throttling because they don't play well together. Later when a different elevator is chosen for the device, writeback throttling doesn't get enabled again as it should. Make sure CFQ enables writeback throttling (if it should be enabled by default) when we switch from it to another IO scheduler.

block: Fix list corruption of blk stats callback list When CFQ calls wbt_disable_default(), it will call blk_stat_remove_callback() to stop gathering IO statistics for the purposes of writeback throttling. Later, when request_queue is unregistered, wbt_exit() will call blk_stat_remove_callback() again which will try to delete callback from the list again and possibly cause list corruption. Fix the problem by making wbt_disable_default() called wbt_exit() which is properly guarded against being called multiple times.

blk-stat: convert to callback-based statistics reporting Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree users: 1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows, wbt doesn't see every I/O. 2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the previous full window. This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of the statistics from the window during which the callback was active. Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further subdivide based on request size. The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics. wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem mentioned above is fixed. For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling heuristic to use. Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue, this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those, we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

block: add support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes. The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command, but in the future, this should also help with improving the way zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one write zeroes operation by the device.

Allow a write to the 'wbt_lat_usec' queue sysfs file to enable wbt. This is useful for both the kernel config case, but also if the device is CFQ managed and it was turned off by default.

blk-wbt: add general throttling mechanism We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered writes. wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is happening in the system: wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318 wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1, wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57 wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32 This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the device, 259:0 in this case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
