* block: get rid of struct blk_issue_statOmar Sandoval2018-05-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | struct blk_issue_stat squashes three things into one u64: - The time the driver started working on a request - The original size of the request (for the io.low controller) - Flags for writeback throttling It turns out that on x86_64, we have a 4 byte hole in struct request which we can fill with the non-timestamp fields from blk_issue_stat, simplifying things quite a bit.

* block: pass struct request instead of struct blk_issue_stat to wbtOmar Sandoval2018-05-091-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | issue_stat is going to go away, so first make writeback throttling take the containing request, update the internal wbt helpers accordingly, and change rwb->sync_cookie to be the request pointer instead of the issue_stat pointer.

* block: move some wbt helpers to blk-wbt.cOmar Sandoval2018-05-091-25/+8
| | | | | | | | | A few helpers are only used from blk-wbt.c, so move them there, and put wbt_track() behind the CONFIG_BLK_WBT typedef. This is in preparation for changing how the wbt flags are tracked. Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* blk-wbt: throttle discards like background writesJens Axboe2018-05-081-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Throttle discards like we would any background write. Discards should be background activity, so if they are impacting foreground IO, then we will throttle them down.

* License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* block: Make writeback throttling defaults consistent for SQ devicesJan Kara2017-04-191-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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: track request size in blk_issue_statShaohua Li2017-03-281-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently there is no way to know the request size when the request is finished. Next patch will need this info. We could add extra field to record the size, but blk_issue_stat has enough space to record it, so this patch just overloads blk_issue_stat. With this, we will have 49bits to track time, which still is very long time. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shli@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* blk-stat: convert to callback-based statistics reportingOmar Sandoval2017-03-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* blk-wbt: allow wbt to be enabled always through sysfsJens Axboe2016-11-281-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | Currently there's no way to enable wbt if it's not enabled in the kernel config by default for a 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. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

* blk-wbt: allow reset of default latency through sysfsJens Axboe2016-11-281-0/+6

* blk-wbt: add general throttling mechanismJens Axboe2016-11-101-0/+165
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>
