It contains: - A tweak to the reserved tag logic from Jan, for weirdo devices with just 3 free tags. But for those it improves things substantially for random writes. - Periodic writeback fix from Jan. Marked for stable as well. - Fix for a race condition in IO scheduler switching from Jianpeng. - The hierarchical blk-cgroup support from Tejun. This is the grunt of the series. - blk-throttle fix from Vivek. Just a note that I'm in the middle of a relocation, whole family is flying out tomorrow. Hence I will be awal the remainder of this week, but back at work again on Monday the 15th. CC'ing Tejun, since any potential "surprises" will most likely be from the blk-cgroup work.

| * elevator: Fix a race in elevator switchingJianpeng Ma2013-07-034-29/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation. Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL ->elevator_data. For example: Thread A: Thread B blk_queu_bio elevator_switch spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc elv_merge elevator_init_fn Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened. Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the operations in a atomic operation. Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug 1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null 2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done The test method also use this method.

| * block: Reserve only one queue tag for sync IO if only 3 tags are availableJan Kara2013-06-281-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case a device has three tags available we still reserve two of them for sync IO. That leaves only a single tag for async IO such as writeback from flusher thread which results in poor performance. Allow async IO to consume two tags in case queue has three tag availabe to get a decent async write performance. This patch improves streaming write performance on a machine with such disk from ~21 MB/s to ~52 MB/s. Also postmark throughput in presence of streaming writer improves from 8 to 12 transactions per second so sync IO doesn't seem to be harmed in presence of heavy async writer.

| * blk-throttle: implement proper hierarchy supportTejun Heo2013-05-142-9/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the recent updates, blk-throttle is finally ready for proper hierarchy support. Dispatching now honors service_queue->parent_sq and propagates correctly. The only thing missing is setting ->parent_sq correctly so that throtl_grp hierarchy matches the cgroup hierarchy. This patch updates throtl_pd_init() such that service_queues form the same hierarchy as the cgroup hierarchy if sane_behavior is enabled. As this concludes proper hierarchy support for blkcg, the shameful .broken_hierarchy tag is removed from blkio_subsys. v2: Updated blkio-controller.txt as suggested by Vivek.

| * blk-throttle: implement throtl_grp->has_rules[]Tejun Heo2013-05-141-7/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_throtl_bio() has a quick exit path for throtl_grps without limits configured. It looks at the bps and iops limits and if both are not configured, the bio is issued immediately. While this is correct in the current flat hierarchy as each throtl_grp behaves completely independently, it would become wrong in proper hierarchy mode. A group without any limits could still be limited by one of its ancestors and bio's queued for such group should not bypass blk-throtl. As having a quick bypass mechanism is beneficial, this patch reimplements the mechanism such that it's correct even with proper hierarchy. throtl_grp->has_rules[] is added. These booleans are updated for the whole subtree whenever a config is updated so that has_rules[] of the whole subtree stays synchronized. They're also updated when a new throtl_grp comes online so that it can't escape the limits of its ancestors. As no throtl_grp has another throtl_grp as parent now, this patch doesn't yet make any behavior differences. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
| * blk-throttle: Account for child group's start time in parent while bio climbs upVivek Goyal2013-05-141-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the planned proper hierarchy support, a bio will climb up the tree before actually being dispatched. This makes sure bio is also subjected to parent's throttling limits, if any. It might happen that parent is idle and when bio is transferred to parent, a new slice starts fresh. But that is incorrect as parents wait time should have started when bio was queued in child group and causes IOs to be throttled more than configured as they climb the hierarchy. Given the fact that we have not written hierarchical algorithm in a way where child's and parents time slices are synchronized, we transfer the child's start time to parent if parent was idling. If parent was busy doing dispatch of other bios all this while, this is not an issue. Child's slice start time is passed to parent. Parent looks at its last expired slice start time. If child's start time is after parents old start time, that means parent had been idle and after parent went idle, child had an IO queued. So use child's start time as parent start time. If parent's start time is after child's start time, that means, when IO got queued in child group, parent was not idle. But later it dispatched some IO, its slice got trimmed and then it went idle. After a while child's request got shifted in parent group. In this case use parent's old start time as new start time as that's the duration of slice we did not use. This logic is far from perfect as if there are multiple childs then first child transferring the bio decides the start time while a bio might have queued up even earlier in other child, which is yet to be transferred up to parent. In that case we will lose time and bandwidth in parent. This patch is just an approximation to make situation somewhat better.

| * blk-throttle: add throtl_qnode for dispatch fairnessTejun Heo2013-05-141-25/+176
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With flat hierarchy, there's only single level of dispatching happening and fairness beyond that point is the responsibility of the rest of the block layer and driver, which usually works out okay; however, with the planned hierarchy support, service_queue->bio_lists[] can be filled up by bios from a single source. While the limits would still be honored, it'd be very easy to starve IOs from siblings or children. To avoid such starvation, this patch implements throtl_qnode and converts service_queue->bio_lists[] to lists of per-source qnodes which in turn contains the bio's. For example, when a bio is dispatched from a child group, the bio doesn't get queued on ->bio_lists[] directly but it first gets queued on the group's qnode which in turn gets queued on service_queue->queued[]. When dispatching for the upper level, the ->queued[] list is consumed in round-robing order so that the dispatch windows is consumed fairly by all IO sources. There are two ways a bio can come to a throtl_grp - directly queued to the group or dispatched from a child. For the former throtl_grp->qnode_on_self[rw] is used. For the latter, the child's ->qnode_on_parent[rw]. Note that this means that the child which is contributing a bio to its parent should stay pinned until all its bios are dispatched to its grand-parent. This patch moves blkg refcnting from bio add/remove spots to qnode activation/deactivation so that the blkg containing an active qnode is always pinned. As child pins the parent, this is sufficient for keeping the relevant sub-tree pinned while bios are in flight. The starvation issue was spotted by Vivek Goyal. v2: The original patch used the same throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent for reads and writes causing RWs to be queued incorrectly if there already are outstanding IOs in the other direction. They should be throtl_grp->qnode_on_self/parent[2] so that READs and WRITEs can use different qnodes. Spotted by Vivek Goyal.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | throtl_pending_timer_fn() currently assumes that the parent_sq is the top level one and the bio's dispatched are ready to be issued; however, this assumption will be wrong with proper hierarchy support. This patch makes the following changes to make throtl_pending_timer_fn() ready for hiearchy. * If the parent_sq isn't the top-level one, update the parent throtl_grp's dispatch time and schedule the next dispatch as necessary. If the parent's dispatch time is now, repeat the function for the parent throtl_grp. * If the parent_sq is the top-level one, kick issue work_item as before. * The debug message printed by throtl_log() now prints out the service_queue's nr_queued[] instead of the total nr_queued as the latter becomes uninteresting and misleading with hierarchical dispatch.

This patch makes the following changes to make tg_dispatch_on_bio() ready for hiearchy. * throtl_data->nr_queued[] is incremented in blk_throtl_bio() instead of throtl_add_bio_tg() so that throtl_add_bio_tg() can be used to transfer a bio from a child tg to its parent. * tg_dispatch_one_bio() is updated to distinguish whether its parent is another throtl_grp or the throtl_data. If former, the bio is transferred to the parent throtl_grp using throtl_add_bio_tg(). If latter, the bio is ready to be issued and put on the top-level service_queue's bio_lists[] and throtl_data->nr_queued is decremented. As all throtl_grps currently have the top level service_queue as their ->parent_sq, this patch in itself doesn't make any behavior difference.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, blk_throtl_bio() issues the passed in bio directly if it's within limits of its associated tg (throtl_grp). This behavior becomes incorrect with hierarchy support as the bio should be accounted to and throttled by the ancestor throtl_grps too. This patch makes the direct issue path of blk_throtl_bio() to loop until it reaches the top-level service_queue or gets throttled. If the former, the bio can be issued directly; otherwise, it gets queued at the first layer it was above limits. As tg->parent_sq is always the top-level service queue currently, this patch in itself doesn't make any behavior differences.

| * blk-throttle: dispatch from throtl_pending_timer_fn()Tejun Heo2013-05-141-25/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() is responsible for both dispatching bio's from throtl_grp's according to their limits and then issuing the dispatched bios. This patch moves the dispatch part to throtl_pending_timer_fn() so that the work item is kicked iff there are bio's to issue. This is to avoid work item execution at each step when hierarchy support is enabled. bio's will be dispatched towards the top-level service_queue from the timers at each layer and the work item will only be used to issue the bio's which reached the top-level service_queue. While fetching bio's to issue from bio_lists[], blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() fetches all READs before WRITEs. While the original code also dispatched READs first, if multiple throtl_grps are dispatched on the same run, WRITEs from throtl_grp which is dispatched first would precede READs from throtl_grps which are dispatched later. While this is a behavior change, given that the previous code already prioritized READs and block layer generally prioritizes and segregates READs from WRITEs, this isn't likely to make any noticeable differences.

| * blk-throttle: implement dispatch loopingTejun Heo2013-05-141-26/+56
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | throtl_select_dispatch() only dispatches throtl_quantum bios on each invocation. blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() in turn depends on throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() scheduling the next dispatch window immediately so that undue delays aren't incurred. This effectively chains multiple dispatch work item executions back-to-back when there are more than throtl_quantum bios to dispatch on a given tick. There is no reason to finish the current work item just to repeat it immediately. This patch makes throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() return %false without doing anything if the current dispatch window is still open and updates blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() repeat dispatching after cpu_relax() on %false return. This change will help implementing hierarchy support as dispatching will be done from pending_timer and immediate reschedule of timer function isn't supported and doesn't make much sense. While this patch changes how dispatch behaves when there are more than throtl_quantum bios to dispatch on a single tick, the behavior change is immaterial.

| * blk-throttle: separate out throtl_service_queue->pending_timer from ↵Tejun Heo2013-05-141-23/+45

They are local stats and will be kept local. If recursive stats are necessary, they should be implemented separately and definitely not by updating counters recursively on each dispatch. This patch moves REQ_THROTTLED setting to throtl_charge_bio() and gate stats update with it so that dispatch stats are updated only on the first time the bio is charged to a throtl_grp, which will always be the throtl_grp the bio was originally queued to. This means that REQ_THROTTLED would be set even for bios which don't get throttled. As we don't want bios to leave blk-throtl with the flag set, move REQ_THROTLLED clearing to the end of blk_throtl_bio() and clear if the bio is being issued directly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When blk_throtl_bio() wants to queue a bio to a tg (throtl_grp), it avoids invoking tg_update_disptime() and throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() if the tg already has bios queued in that direction. As a new bio is appeneded after the existing ones, it can't change the tg's next dispatch time or the parent's dispatch schedule. This optimization is currently open coded in blk_throtl_bio(). Whether the target biolist was occupied was recorded in a local variable and later used to skip disptime update. This patch moves generalizes it so that throtl_add_bio_tg() sets a new flag THROTL_TG_WAS_EMPTY if the biolist was empty before the new bio was added. tg_update_disptime() clears the flag automatically. blk_throtl_bio() is updated to simply test the flag before updating disptime.

Pass around throtl_service_queue *sq instead of throtl_data *td in the following functions which will be used across multiple levels of hierarchy. * [__]throtl_enqueue/dequeue_tg() * throtl_add_bio_tg() * tg_update_disptime() * throtl_select_dispatch() Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>
| * blk-throttle: add backlink pointer from throtl_grp to throtl_dataTejun Heo2013-05-141-53/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add throtl_grp->td so that the td (throtl_data) a given tg (throtl_grp) belongs to can be determined, and remove @td argument from functions which take both @td and @tg as the former now can be determined from the latter. This generally simplifies the code and removes a number of cases where @td is passed as an argument without being actually used. This will also help hierarchy support implementation. While at it, in multi-line conditions, move the logical operators leading broken lines to the end of the previous line.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk-throttle is still using function-defining macros to define flag handling functions, which went out style at least a decade ago.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | throtl_nr_queued() is used in several places to avoid performing certain operations when the throtl_data is empty. This usually is useless as those paths usually aren't traveled if there's no bio queued. * throtl_schedule_delayed_work() skips scheduling dispatch work item if @td doesn't have any bios queued; however, the only case it can be called when @td is empty is from tg_set_conf() which isn't something we should be optimizing for. * throtl_schedule_next_dispatch() takes a quick exit if @td is empty; however, right after that it triggers BUG if the service tree is empty. The two conditions are equivalent and it can just test @st->count for the quick exit. * blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() skips dispatch if @td is empty. This work function isn't usually invoked when @td is empty. The only possibility is from tg_set_conf() and when it happens the normal dispatching path can handle empty @td fine. No need to add special skip path. This patch removes the above three unnecessary optimizations, which leave throtl_log() call in blk_throtl_dispatch_work_fn() the only user of throtl_nr_queued(). Remove throtl_nr_queued() and open code it in throtl_log(). I don't think we need td->nr_queued[] at all. Maybe we can remove it later.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When bps or iops configuration changes, blk-throttle records the new configuration and sets a flag indicating that the config has changed. The flag is checked in the bio dispatch path and applied. This deferred config application was necessary due to limitations in blkcg framework, which haven't existed for quite a while now.

| * blkcg: move bulk of blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU callbackTejun Heo2013-05-142-20/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when the last reference of a blkcg_gq is put, all then release operations sans the actual freeing happen directly in blkg_put(). As blkg_put() may be called under queue_lock, all pd_exit_fn()s may be too. This makes it impossible for pd_exit_fn()s to use del_timer_sync() on timers which grab the queue_lock which is an irq-safe lock due to the deadlock possibility described in the comment on top of del_timer_sync(). This can be easily avoided by perfoming the release operations in the RCU callback instead of directly from blkg_put(). This patch moves the blkcg_gq release operations to the RCU callback. As this leaves __blkg_release() with only call_rcu() invocation, blkg_rcu_free() is renamed to __blkg_release_rcu(), exported and call_rcu() invocation is now done directly from blkg_put() instead of going through __blkg_release() which is removed.

| * blkcg: invoke blkcg_policy->pd_init() after parent is linkedTejun Heo2013-05-141-17/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, when creating a new blkcg_gq, each policy's pd_init_fn() is invoked in blkg_alloc() before the parent is linked. This makes it difficult for policies to perform initializations which are dependent on the parent. This patch moves pd_init_fn() invocations to blkg_create() after the parent blkg is linked where the new blkg is fully initialized. As this means that blkg_free() can't assume that pd's are initialized, pd_exit_fn() invocations are moved to __blkg_release(). This guarantees that pd_exit_fn() is also invoked with fully initialized blkgs with valid parent pointers. This will help implementing hierarchy support in blk-throttle.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In blkg_create(), after lookup of parent fails, the control jumps to error path with the error code encoded into @blkg. The error path doesn't use @blkg for the return value. It returns ERR_PTR(ret). Make lookup fail path set @ret instead of @blkg. Note that the parent lookup is guaranteed to succeed at that point and the condition check is purely for sanity and triggers WARN when fails. As such, I don't think it's necessary to mark it for -stable. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>

AIX LVM permits to make "logical volumes" which are made of multiple slices of multiple disks. The new code allows only access to the "logical volumes" which are made of one slice on the probed disk, a slice being a contiguous disk area. The code also detects "logical volumes" made of multiple slices on the probed disk, but can not describe them to the partition layer, because the partition layer generic code does not support that. When such non-contiguous "logical volumes" are detected, a diagnostic message is printed.

The only change in this pull request is Viresh's patches to make some per-cpu workqueues to behave as unbound workqueues dependent on a boot param whose default can be configured via a config option. This leads to higher processing overhead / lower bandwidth as more work items are bounced across CPUs; however, it can lead to noticeable powersave in certain configurations - ~10% w/ idlish constant workload on a big.LITTLE configuration according to Viresh. This is because per-cpu workqueues interfere with how the scheduler perceives whether or not each CPU is idle by forcing pinned tasks on them, which makes the scheduler's power-aware scheduling decisions less effective. Its effectiveness is likely less pronounced on homogenous configurations and this type of optimization can probably be made automatic; however, the changes are pretty minimal and the affected workqueues are clearly marked, so it's an easy gain for some configurations for the time being with pretty unintrusive changes." * 'for-3.11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: fbcon: queue work on power efficient wq block: queue work on power efficient wq PHYLIB: queue work on system_power_efficient_wq workqueue: Add system wide power_efficient workqueues workqueues: Introduce new flag WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT for power oriented workqueues
