dm-bufio: fix no-sleep mode dm-bufio has a no-sleep mode. When activated (with the DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag), the bufio client is read-only and we could call dm_bufio_get from tasklets. This is used by dm-verity. Unfortunately, commit 450e8dee51aa ("dm bufio: improve concurrent IO performance") broke this and the kernel would warn that cache_get() was calling down_read() from no-sleeping context. The bug can be reproduced by using "veritysetup open" with the "--use-tasklets" flag. This commit fixes dm-bufio, so that the tasklet mode works again, by expanding use of the 'no_sleep_enabled' static_key to conditionally use either a rw_semaphore or rwlock_t (which are colocated in the buffer_tree structure using a union).

dm: get rid of GFP_NOIO workarounds for __vmalloc and kvmalloc In the past, the function __vmalloc didn't respect the GFP flags - it allocated memory with the provided gfp flags, but it allocated page tables with GFP_KERNEL. This was fixed in commit 451769ebb7e7 ("mm/vmalloc: alloc GFP_NO{FS,IO} for vmalloc") so the memalloc_noio_{save,restore} workaround is no longer needed. The function kvmalloc didn't like flags different from GFP_KERNEL. This was fixed in commit a421ef303008 ("mm: allow !GFP_KERNEL allocations for kvmalloc"), so kvmalloc can now be called with GFP_NOIO.

dm bufio: improve concurrent IO performance When multiple threads perform IO to a thin device, the underlying dm_bufio object can become a bottleneck; slowing down access to btree nodes that store the thin metadata. Prior to this commit, each bufio instance had a single mutex that was taken for every bufio operation. This commit concentrates on improving the common case where: a user of dm_bufio wishes to access, but not modify, a buffer which is already within the dm_bufio cache. Implementation:: The code has been refactored; pulling out an 'lru' abstraction and a 'buffer cache' abstraction (see 2 previous commits). This commit updates higher level bufio code (that performs allocation of buffers, IO and eviction/cache sizing) to leverage both abstractions. It also deals with the delicate locking requirements of both abstractions to provide finer grained locking. The result is significantly better concurrent IO performance. Before this commit, bufio has a global lru list it used to evict the oldest, clean buffers from _all_ clients. With the new locking we don’t want different ways to access the same buffer, so instead do_global_cleanup() loops around the clients asking them to free buffers older than a certain time. This commit also converts many old BUG_ONs to WARN_ON_ONCE, see the lru_evict and cache_evict code in particular. They will return ER_DONT_EVICT if a given buffer somehow meets the invariants that should _never_ happen. [Aside from revising this commit's header and fixing coding style and whitespace nits: this switching to WARN_ON_ONCE is Mike Snitzer's lone contribution to this commit] Testing:: Some of the low level functions have been unit tested using dm-unit: https://github.com/jthornber/dm-unit/blob/main/src/tests/bufio.rs Higher level concurrency and IO is tested via a test only target found here: https://github.com/jthornber/linux/blob/2023-03-24-thin-concurrency-9/drivers/md/dm-bufio-test.c The associated userland side of these tests is here: https://github.com/jthornber/dmtest-python/blob/main/src/dmtest/bufio/bufio_tests.py In addition the full dmtest suite of tests (dm-thin, dm-cache, etc) has been run (~450 tests). Performance:: Most bufio operations have unchanged performance. But if multiple threads are attempting to get buffers concurrently, and these buffers are already in the cache then there's a big speed up. Eg, one test has 16 'hotspot' threads simulating btree lookups while another thread dirties the whole device. In this case the hotspot threads acquire the buffers about 25 times faster.

dm bufio: add dm_buffer_cache abstraction The buffer cache is responsible for managing the holder count, tracking clean/dirty state, and choosing buffers via predicates. Higher level code is responsible for allocation of buffers, IO and eviction/cache sizing. The buffer cache has thread safe methods for acquiring a reference to an existing buffer. All other methods in buffer cache are _not_ threadsafe, and only contain enough locking to guarantee the safe methods. Rather than a single mutex, sharded rw_semaphores are used to allow concurrent threads to 'get' buffers. Each rw_semaphore protects its own rbtree of buffer entries. Code that uses this new dm_buffer_cache abstraction will be introduced in a following commit. This commit moves the dm_buffer struct in preparation for finer grained dm_buffer changes, in the next commit, to be more easily seen. It also introduces temporary dm_buffer struct members to allow compilation of this intermediate commit (they will be elided in the next commit). This commit will cause "defined but not used" compiler warnings that will be resolved by the next commit. Signed-off-by: Joe Thornber <ejt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@kernel.org>

dm bufio: fix some cases where the code sleeps with spinlock held Commit b32d45824aa7 ("dm bufio: Add DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag") added a "NO_SLEEP" mode, it replaces a mutex with a spinlock, and it is only usable when the device is in read-only mode (because the write path may be sleeping while holding the dm_bufio_client lock). However, there are still two points where the code could sleep even in read-only mode. One is in __get_unclaimed_buffer -> __make_buffer_clean. The other is in __try_evict_buffer -> __make_buffer_clean. These functions will call __make_buffer_clean which sleeps if the buffer is being read. Fix these cases so that if c->no_sleep is set __make_buffer_clean will not be called and the buffer will be skipped instead.

dm bufio: simplify DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP locking Historically none of the bufio code runs in interrupt context but with the use of DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP a bufio client can, see: commit 5721d4e5a9cd ("dm verity: Add optional "try_verify_in_tasklet" feature") That said, the new tasklet usecase still doesn't require interrupts be disabled by bufio (let alone conditionally restore them). Yet with PREEMPT_RT, and falling back from tasklet to workqueue, care must be taken to properly synchronize between softirq and process context, otherwise ABBA deadlock may occur. While it is unnecessary to disable bottom-half preemption within a tasklet, we must consistently do so in process context to ensure locking is in the proper order. Fix these issues by switching from spin_lock_irq{save,restore} to using spin_{lock,unlock}_bh instead. Also remove the 'spinlock_flags' member in dm_bufio_client struct (that can be used unsafely if bufio must recurse on behalf of some caller, e.g. block layer's submit_bio).

dm bufio: Add DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag Add an optional flag that ensures dm_bufio_client does not sleep (primary focus is to service dm_bufio_get without sleeping). This allows the dm-bufio cache to be queried from interrupt context. To ensure that dm-bufio does not sleep, dm-bufio must use a spinlock instead of a mutex. Additionally, to avoid deadlocks, special care must be taken so that dm-bufio does not sleep while holding the spinlock. But again: the scope of this no_sleep is initially confined to dm_bufio_get, so __alloc_buffer_wait_no_callback is _not_ changed to avoid sleeping because __bufio_new avoids allocation for NF_GET.

mm: shrinkers: provide shrinkers with names Currently shrinkers are anonymous objects. For debugging purposes they can be identified by count/scan function names, but it's not always useful: e.g. for superblock's shrinkers it's nice to have at least an idea of to which superblock the shrinker belongs. This commit adds names to shrinkers. register_shrinker() and prealloc_shrinker() functions are extended to take a format and arguments to master a name. In some cases it's not possible to determine a good name at the time when a shrinker is allocated. For such cases shrinker_debugfs_rename() is provided. The expected format is: <subsystem>-<shrinker_type>[:<instance>]-<id> For some shrinkers an instance can be encoded as (MAJOR:MINOR) pair. After this change the shrinker debugfs directory looks like: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/shrinker/ $ ls dquota-cache-16 sb-devpts-28 sb-proc-47 sb-tmpfs-42 mm-shadow-18 sb-devtmpfs-5 sb-proc-48 sb-tmpfs-43 mm-zspool:zram0-34 sb-hugetlbfs-17 sb-pstore-31 sb-tmpfs-44 rcu-kfree-0 sb-hugetlbfs-33 sb-rootfs-2 sb-tmpfs-49 sb-aio-20 sb-iomem-12 sb-securityfs-6 sb-tracefs-13 sb-anon_inodefs-15 sb-mqueue-21 sb-selinuxfs-22 sb-xfs:vda1-36 sb-bdev-3 sb-nsfs-4 sb-sockfs-8 sb-zsmalloc-19 sb-bpf-32 sb-pipefs-14 sb-sysfs-26 thp-deferred_split-10 sb-btrfs:vda2-24 sb-proc-25 sb-tmpfs-1 thp-zero-9 sb-cgroup2-30 sb-proc-39 sb-tmpfs-27 xfs-buf:vda1-37 sb-configfs-23 sb-proc-41 sb-tmpfs-29 xfs-inodegc:vda1-38 sb-dax-11 sb-proc-45 sb-tmpfs-35 sb-debugfs-7 sb-proc-46 sb-tmpfs-40 [roman.gushchin@linux.dev: fix build warnings] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/Yr+ZTnLb9lJk6fJO@castle Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220601032227.4076670-4-roman.gushchin@linux.dev Signed-off-by: Roman Gushchin <roman.gushchin@linux.dev> Cc: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Cc: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com> Cc: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com> Cc: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>

dm bufio: do buffer cleanup from a workqueue Until now, DM bufio's waiting for IO from reclaim context in its shrinker has caused kswapd to block; which results in systemic IO stalls and even deadlock, e.g.: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2020-March/msg00025.html Here is Dave Chinner's problem description that motivated this fix, from: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-fsdevel/20190809215733.GZ7777@dread.disaster.area/ "Waiting for IO in kswapd reclaim context is considered harmful - kswapd context shrinker reclaim should be as non-blocking as possible, and any back-off to wait for IO to complete should be done by the high level reclaim core once it's completed an entire reclaim scan cycle of everything.... What follows from that, and is pertinent in this situation, is that if you don't block kswapd, then other reclaim contexts are not going to get stuck waiting for it regardless of the reclaim context they use." Continued elsewhere: "The only way to fix this problem once and for all is to stop using the shrinker as a mechanism to issue and wait on IO. If you need background writeback of dirty buffers, do it from a WQ_MEM_RECLAIM workqueue that isn't directly in the memory reclaim path and so can issue writeback and block safely from a GFP_KERNEL context. Kick the workqueue from the shrinker context, but get rid of the IO submission and waiting from the shrinker and all the GFP_NOFS memory reclaim recursion problems go away." As such, this commit moves buffer cleanup to a workqueue.

dm bufio: introduce a global cache replacement This commit introduces a global cache replacement (instead of per-client cleanup). If one bufio client uses the cache heavily and another client is not using it, we want to let the first client use most of the cache. The old algorithm would partition the cache equally betwen the clients and that is sub-optimal. For cache replacement, we use the clock algorithm because it doesn't require taking any lock when the buffer is accessed.

Revert "dm bufio: fix deadlock with loop device" Revert the commit bd293d071ffe65e645b4d8104f9d8fe15ea13862. The proper fix has been made available with commit d0a255e795ab ("loop: set PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO for the worker thread"). Note that the fix offered by commit bd293d071ffe doesn't really prevent the deadlock from occuring - if we look at the stacktrace reported by Junxiao Bi, we see that it hangs in bit_wait_io and not on the mutex - i.e. it has already successfully taken the mutex. Changing the mutex from mutex_lock to mutex_trylock won't help with deadlocks that happen afterwards.

dm bufio: fix deadlock with loop device When thin-volume is built on loop device, if available memory is low, the following deadlock can be triggered: One process P1 allocates memory with GFP_FS flag, direct alloc fails, memory reclaim invokes memory shrinker in dm_bufio, dm_bufio_shrink_scan() runs, mutex dm_bufio_client->lock is acquired, then P1 waits for dm_buffer IO to complete in __try_evict_buffer(). But this IO may never complete if issued to an underlying loop device that forwards it using direct-IO, which allocates memory using GFP_KERNEL (see: do_blockdev_direct_IO()). If allocation fails, memory reclaim will invoke memory shrinker in dm_bufio, dm_bufio_shrink_scan() will be invoked, and since the mutex is already held by P1 the loop thread will hang, and IO will never complete.

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function. Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating things. It was discussed in length here, https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

dm bufio: fix buffer alignment Commit 6b5e718cc138 ("dm bufio: relax alignment constraint on slab cache") relaxed alignment on dm-bufio cache, however it may break dm-crypt or dm-integrity. dm-crypt and dm-integrity require that the size of bio vector entries (bv_len) is aligned on its sector size. bv_offset doesn't have to be aligned, but bv_len must be. XFS sends unaligned bios, but they do not cross page boundary, so the requirement for aligned bv_len is met. Commit 6b5e718cc138 made dm-bufio send unaligned bios that cross page boundary, this could break dm-crypt and dm-integrity. Reinstates the alignment. Note that misaligned entries only happen when we use slab/slub debugging. Without debugging, the entries are always aligned.

dm bufio: don't embed a bio in the dm_buffer structure The bio structure consumes a substantial part of dm_buffer. The bio structure is only needed when doing I/O on the buffer, thus we don't have to embed it in the buffer. Allocate the bio structure only when doing I/O. We don't need to create a bio_set because, in case of allocation failure, dm-bufio falls back to using dm-io (which keeps its own bio_set).

dm bufio: fix shrinker scans when (nr_to_scan < retain_target) When system is under memory pressure it is observed that dm bufio shrinker often reclaims only one buffer per scan. This change fixes the following two issues in dm bufio shrinker that cause this behavior: 1. ((nr_to_scan - freed) <= retain_target) condition is used to terminate slab scan process. This assumes that nr_to_scan is equal to the LRU size, which might not be correct because do_shrink_slab() in vmscan.c calculates nr_to_scan using multiple inputs. As a result when nr_to_scan is less than retain_target (64) the scan will terminate after the first iteration, effectively reclaiming one buffer per scan and making scans very inefficient. This hurts vmscan performance especially because mutex is acquired/released every time dm_bufio_shrink_scan() is called. New implementation uses ((LRU size - freed) <= retain_target) condition for scan termination. LRU size can be safely determined inside __scan() because this function is called after dm_bufio_lock(). 2. do_shrink_slab() uses value returned by dm_bufio_shrink_count() to determine number of freeable objects in the slab. However dm_bufio always retains retain_target buffers in its LRU and will terminate a scan when this mark is reached. Therefore returning the entire LRU size from dm_bufio_shrink_count() is misleading because that does not represent the number of freeable objects that slab will reclaim during a scan. Returning (LRU size - retain_target) better represents the number of freeable objects in the slab. This way do_shrink_slab() returns 0 when (LRU size < retain_target) and vmscan will not try to scan this shrinker avoiding scans that will not reclaim any memory.

dm bufio: fix integer overflow when limiting maximum cache size The default max_cache_size_bytes for dm-bufio is meant to be the lesser of 25% of the size of the vmalloc area and 2% of the size of lowmem. However, on 32-bit systems the intermediate result in the expression (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) * DM_BUFIO_VMALLOC_PERCENT / 100 overflows, causing the wrong result to be computed. For example, on a 32-bit system where the vmalloc area is 520093696 bytes, the result is 1174405 rather than the expected 130023424, which makes the maximum cache size much too small (far less than 2% of lowmem). This causes severe performance problems for dm-verity users on affected systems. Fix this by using mult_frac() to correctly multiply by a percentage. Do this for all places in dm-bufio that multiply by a percentage. Also replace (VMALLOC_END - VMALLOC_START) with VMALLOC_TOTAL, which contrary to the comment is now defined in include/linux/vmalloc.h.

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.

block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

mm, vmalloc: use __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly __vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying allocation. This API is quite popular $ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l 77 The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily too complex. This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM are simplified and drop the flag.

dm bufio: check new buffer allocation watermark every 30 seconds dm-bufio checks a watermark when it allocates a new buffer in __bufio_new(). However, it doesn't check the watermark when the user changes /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/max_cache_size_bytes. This may result in a problem - if the watermark is high enough so that all possible buffers are allocated and if the user lowers the value of "max_cache_size_bytes", the watermark will never be checked against the new value because no new buffer would be allocated. To fix this, change __evict_old_buffers() so that it checks the watermark. __evict_old_buffers() is called every 30 seconds, so if the user reduces "max_cache_size_bytes", dm-bufio will react to this change within 30 seconds and decrease memory consumption.

sched/core: Remove set_task_state() This is a nasty interface and setting the state of a foreign task must not be done. As of the following commit: be628be0956 ("bcache: Make gc wakeup sane, remove set_task_state()") ... everyone in the kernel calls set_task_state() with current, allowing the helper to be removed. However, as the comment indicates, it is still around for those archs where computing current is more expensive than using a pointer, at least in theory. An important arch that is affected is arm64, however this has been addressed now [1] and performance is up to par making no difference with either calls. Of all the callers, if any, it's the locking bits that would care most about this -- ie: we end up passing a tsk pointer to a lot of the lock slowpath, and setting ->state on that. The following numbers are based on two tests: a custom ad-hoc microbenchmark that just measures latencies (for ~65 million calls) between get_task_state() vs get_current_state(). Secondly for a higher overview, an unlink microbenchmark was used, which pounds on a single file with open, close,unlink combos with increasing thread counts (up to 4x ncpus). While the workload is quite unrealistic, it does contend a lot on the inode mutex or now rwsem.

dm bufio: avoid sleeping while holding the dm_bufio lock We've seen in-field reports showing _lots_ (18 in one case, 41 in another) of tasks all sitting there blocked on: mutex_lock+0x4c/0x68 dm_bufio_shrink_count+0x38/0x78 shrink_slab.part.54.constprop.65+0x100/0x464 shrink_zone+0xa8/0x198 In the two cases analyzed, we see one task that looks like this: Workqueue: kverityd verity_prefetch_io __switch_to+0x9c/0xa8 __schedule+0x440/0x6d8 schedule+0x94/0xb4 schedule_timeout+0x204/0x27c schedule_timeout_uninterruptible+0x44/0x50 wait_iff_congested+0x9c/0x1f0 shrink_inactive_list+0x3a0/0x4cc shrink_lruvec+0x418/0x5cc shrink_zone+0x88/0x198 try_to_free_pages+0x51c/0x588 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x648/0xa88 __get_free_pages+0x34/0x7c alloc_buffer+0xa4/0x144 __bufio_new+0x84/0x278 dm_bufio_prefetch+0x9c/0x154 verity_prefetch_io+0xe8/0x10c process_one_work+0x240/0x424 worker_thread+0x2fc/0x424 kthread+0x10c/0x114 ...and that looks to be the one holding the mutex. The problem has been reproduced on fairly easily: 0. Be running Chrome OS w/ verity enabled on the root filesystem 1. Pick test patch: http://crosreview.com/412360 2. Install launchBalloons.sh and balloon.arm from http://crbug.com/468342 ...that's just a memory stress test app. 3. On a 4GB rk3399 machine, run nice ./launchBalloons.sh 4 900 100000 ...that tries to eat 4 * 900 MB of memory and keep accessing. 4. Login to the Chrome web browser and restore many tabs With that, I've seen printouts like: DOUG: long bufio 90758 ms ...and stack trace always show's we're in dm_bufio_prefetch(). The problem is that we try to allocate memory with GFP_NOIO while we're holding the dm_bufio lock. Instead we should be using GFP_NOWAIT. Using GFP_NOIO can cause us to sleep while holding the lock and that causes the above problems. The current behavior explained by David Rientjes: It will still try reclaim initially because __GFP_WAIT (or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM) is set by GFP_NOIO. This is the cause of contention on dm_bufio_lock() that the thread holds. You want to pass GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_NOIO to alloc_buffer() when holding a mutex that can be contended by a concurrent slab shrinker (if count_objects didn't use a trylock, this pattern would trivially deadlock). This change significantly increases responsiveness of the system while in this state. It makes a real difference because it unblocks kswapd. In the bug report analyzed, kswapd was hung: kswapd0 D ffffffc000204fd8 0 72 2 0x00000000 Call trace: [<ffffffc000204fd8>] __switch_to+0x9c/0xa8 [<ffffffc00090b794>] __schedule+0x440/0x6d8 [<ffffffc00090bac0>] schedule+0x94/0xb4 [<ffffffc00090be44>] schedule_preempt_disabled+0x28/0x44 [<ffffffc00090d900>] __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x120/0x1ac [<ffffffc00090d9d8>] mutex_lock+0x4c/0x68 [<ffffffc000708e7c>] dm_bufio_shrink_count+0x38/0x78 [<ffffffc00030b268>] shrink_slab.part.54.constprop.65+0x100/0x464 [<ffffffc00030dbd8>] shrink_zone+0xa8/0x198 [<ffffffc00030e578>] balance_pgdat+0x328/0x508 [<ffffffc00030eb7c>] kswapd+0x424/0x51c [<ffffffc00023f06c>] kthread+0x10c/0x114 [<ffffffc000203dd0>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x40 By unblocking kswapd memory pressure should be reduced.

dm bufio: store stacktrace in buffers to help find buffer leaks The option DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is moved from persistent-data directory to device mapper directory because it will now be used by persistent-data and bufio. When the option is enabled, each bufio buffer stores the stacktrace of the last dm_bufio_get(), dm_bufio_read() or dm_bufio_new() call that increased the hold count to 1. The buffer's stacktrace is printed if the buffer was not released before the bufio client is destroyed. When DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING is enabled, any bufio buffer leaks are considered warnings - i.e. the kernel continues afterwards. If not enabled, buffer leaks are considered BUGs and the kernel with crash. Reasoning on this disposition is: if we only ever warned on buffer leaks users would generally ignore them and the problematic code would never get fixed. Successfully used to find source of bufio leaks fixed with commit fce079f63c3 ("dm btree: fix bufio buffer leaks in dm_btree_del() error path").

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Therefore, inject our own endio callback to take care of the bio_reset after calling submit_io's end_io callback. Test case: 1. modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 dif=1 dix=199 ato=1 dev_size_mb=300 2.

dm bufio: evict buffers that are past the max age but retain some buffers These changes help keep metadata backed by dm-bufio in-core longer which fixes reports of metadata churn in the face of heavy random IO workloads. Before, bufio evicted all buffers older than DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS. Having a device (e.g. dm-thinp or dm-cache) lose all metadata just because associated buffers had been idle for some time is unfriendly. Now, the user may now configure the number of bytes that bufio retains using the 'retain_bytes' module parameter. The default is 256K. Also, the DM_BUFIO_WORK_TIMER_SECS and DM_BUFIO_DEFAULT_AGE_SECS defaults were quite low so increase them (to 30 and 300 respectively).

dm bufio: change __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS in shrinker callbacks The shrinker uses gfp flags to indicate what kind of operation can the driver wait for. If __GFP_IO flag is present, the driver can wait for block I/O operations, if __GFP_FS flag is present, the driver can wait on operations involving the filesystem. dm-bufio tested for __GFP_IO. However, dm-bufio can run on a loop block device that makes calls into the filesystem. If __GFP_IO is present and __GFP_FS isn't, dm-bufio could still block on filesystem operations if it runs on a loop block device. The change from __GFP_IO to __GFP_FS supposedly fixes one observed (though unreproducible) deadlock involving dm-bufio and loop device.

Before this fix the __scan code exited only the inner loop and continued in the outer loop -- which could result in reduced performance due to extra buffers being freed (e.g. unnecessarily evicted thinp metadata needing to be synchronously re-read into bufio's cache). Also, move dm_bufio_cond_resched to __scan's inner loop, so that iterating the bufio client's lru lists doesn't result in scheduling latency.

dm bufio: update last_accessed when relinking a buffer The 'last_accessed' member of the dm_buffer structure was only set when the the buffer was created. This led to each buffer being discarded after dm_bufio_max_age time even if it was used recently. In practice this resulted in all thinp metadata being evicted soon after being read -- this is particularly problematic for metadata intensive workloads like multithreaded small random IO. 'last_accessed' is now updated each time the buffer is moved to the head of the LRU list, so the buffer is now properly discarded if it was not used in dm_bufio_max_age time.

dm bufio: fully initialize shrinker 1d3d4437eae1 ("vmscan: per-node deferred work") added a flags field to struct shrinker assuming that all shrinkers were zero filled. The dm bufio shrinker is not zero filled, which leaves arbitrary kmalloc() data in flags. So far the only defined flags bit is SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE. But there are proposed patches which add other bits to shrinker.flags (e.g. memcg awareness). Rather than simply initializing the shrinker, this patch uses kzalloc() when allocating the dm_bufio_client to ensure that the embedded shrinker and any other similar structures are zeroed. This fixes theoretical over aggressive shrinking of dm bufio objects. If the uninitialized dm_bufio_client.shrinker.flags contains SHRINKER_NUMA_AWARE then shrink_slab() would call the dm shrinker for each numa node rather than just once. This has been broken since 3.12.

sched: Remove proliferation of wait_on_bit() action functions The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action' function to be provided which does the actual waiting. There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical. Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule(). So: Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action to make it explicit that they need an action function. Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use a standard one. The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action function. All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their action functions have been discarded. wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and interpolate their own error code as appropriate. The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function. David Howells confirms this should be uniformly "uninterruptible" The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call. A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action' functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan' field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan). As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So the distinction will still be visible, only with different function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the gfs2/glock.c case). Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware schedule call as NFS.

dm snapshot: use dm-bufio prefetch This patch modifies dm-snapshot so that it prefetches the buffers when loading the exceptions. The number of buffers read ahead is specified in the DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS macro. The current value for DM_PREFETCH_CHUNKS (12) was found to provide the best performance on a single 15k SCSI spindle. In the future we may modify this default or make it configurable. Also, introduce the function dm_bufio_set_minimum_buffers to setup bufio's number of internal buffers before freeing happens. dm-bufio may hold more buffers if enough memory is available. There is no guarantee that the specified number of buffers will be available - if you need a guarantee, use the argument reserved_buffers for dm_bufio_client_create.

dm bufio: initialize read-only module parameters Some module parameters in dm-bufio are read-only. These parameters inform the user about memory consumption. They are not supposed to be changed by the user. However, despite being read-only, these parameters can be set on modprobe or insmod command line, for example: modprobe dm-bufio current_allocated_bytes=12345 The kernel doesn't expect that these variables can be non-zero at module initialization and if the user sets them, it results in BUG. This patch initializes the variables in the module init routine, so that user-supplied values are ignored.

drivers: convert shrinkers to new count/scan API Convert the driver shrinkers to the new API. Most changes are compile tested only because I either don't have the hardware or it's staging stuff. FWIW, the md and android code is pretty good, but the rest of it makes me want to claw my eyes out. The amount of broken code I just encountered is mind boggling. I've added comments explaining what is broken, but I fear that some of the code would be best dealt with by being dragged behind the bike shed, burying in mud up to it's neck and then run over repeatedly with a blunt lawn mower. Special mention goes to the zcache/zcache2 drivers. They can't co-exist in the build at the same time, they are under different menu options in menuconfig, they only show up when you've got the right set of mm subsystem options configured and so even compile testing is an exercise in pulling teeth. And that doesn't even take into account the horrible, broken code...

dm bufio: avoid a possible __vmalloc deadlock This patch uses memalloc_noio_save to avoid a possible deadlock in dm-bufio. (it could happen only with large block size, at most PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER (typically 8MiB). __vmalloc doesn't fully respect gfp flags. The specified gfp flags are used for allocation of requested pages, structures vmap_area, vmap_block and vm_struct and the radix tree nodes. However, the kernel pagetables are allocated always with GFP_KERNEL. Thus the allocation of pagetables can recurse back to the I/O layer and cause a deadlock. This patch uses the function memalloc_noio_save to set per-process PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and the function memalloc_noio_restore to restore it. When this flag is set, all allocations in the process are done with implied GFP_NOIO flag, thus the deadlock can't happen. This should be backported to stable kernels, but they don't have the PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag and memalloc_noio_save/memalloc_noio_restore functions. So, PF_MEMALLOC should be set and restored instead.

dm verity: avoid deadlock A deadlock was found in the prefetch code in the dm verity map function. This patch fixes this by transferring the prefetch to a worker thread and skipping it completely if kmalloc fails. If generic_make_request is called recursively, it queues the I/O request on the current->bio_list without making the I/O request and returns. The routine making the recursive call cannot wait for the I/O to complete. The deadlock occurs when one thread grabs the bufio_client mutex and waits for an I/O to complete but the I/O is queued on another thread's current->bio_list and is waiting to get the mutex held by the first thread. The fix recognises that prefetching is not essential. If memory can be allocated, it queues the prefetch request to the worker thread, but if not, it does nothing.

hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member) The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter: hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member) Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate. Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required: - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones. - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this was modified to use 'obj->member' instead. - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

dm-bufio.c: there's no need to include linux/version.h As 'make versioncheck' points out, drivers/md/dm-bufio.c has no need to include linux/version.h, so this patch removes the unneeded include.

dm: add bufio The dm-bufio interface allows you to do cached I/O on devices, holding recently-read blocks in memory and performing delayed writes. We don't use buffer cache or page cache already present in the kernel, because: * we need to handle block sizes larger than a page * we can't allocate memory to perform reads or we'd have deadlocks Currently, when a cache is required, we limit its size to a fraction of available memory. Usage can be viewed and changed in /sys/module/dm_bufio/parameters/ . The first user is thin provisioning, but more dm users are planned.
