* blkdev: check for valid request queue before issuing flushDave Chinner2010-08-071-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | Issuing a blkdev_issue_flush() on an unconfigured loop device causes a panic as q->make_request_fn is not configured. This can occur when trying to mount the unconfigured loop device as an XFS filesystem. There are no guards that catch the bio before the request function is called because we don't add a payload to the bio. Instead, manually check this case as soon as we have a pointer to the queue to flush. Signed-off-by: Dave Chinner <dchinner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

* block: remove BKL from BLKROSET and BLKFLSBUFArnd Bergmann2010-08-071-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We only call the functions set_device_ro(), invalidate_bdev(), sync_filesystem() and sync_blockdev() while holding the BKL in these commands. All of these are also done in other code paths without the BKL, which leads me to the conclusion that the BKL is not needed here either. The reason we hold it here is that it was originally pushed down into the ioctl function from vfs_ioctl.

* block: push BKL into blktrace ioctlsArnd Bergmann2010-08-072-58/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The blktrace driver currently needs the BKL, but we should not need to take that in the block layer, so just push it down into the driver itself. It is quite likely that the BKL is not actually required in blktrace code and could be removed in a follow-on patch.

* block: introduce REQ_FLUSH flagFUJITA Tomonori2010-08-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SCSI-ml needs a way to mark a request as flush request in q->prepare_flush_fn because it needs to identify them later (e.g. in q->request_fn or prep_rq_fn). queue_flush sets REQ_HARDBARRIER in rq->cmd_flags however the block layer also sends normal REQ_TYPE_FS requests with REQ_HARDBARRIER. So SCSI-ml can't use REQ_HARDBARRIER to identify flush requests. We could change the block layer to clear REQ_HARDBARRIER bit before sending non flush requests to the lower layers. However, intorudcing the new flag looks cleaner (surely easier). Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Cc: David S.

* block: don't allocate a payload for discard requestChristoph Hellwig2010-08-072-27/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allocating a fixed payload for discard requests always was a horrible hack, and it's not coming to byte us when adding support for discard in DM/MD. So change the code to leave the allocation of a payload to the lowlevel driver. Unfortunately that means we'll need another hack, which allows us to update the various block layer length fields indicating that we have a payload. Instead of hiding this in sd.c, which we already partially do for UNMAP support add a documented helper in the core block layer for it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too. This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two reasons for doing this: - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they should contribute to the random pool in the first place. - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead. This adds /sys/block/<dev>/queue/add_random that will allow you to switch off on a per-device basis. The default setting is on, so there should be no functional changes from this patch.

* cfq: Don't allow queue merges for queues that have no process referencesJeff Moyer2010-06-171-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hi, A user reported a kernel bug when running a particular program that did the following: created 32 threads - each thread took a mutex, grabbed a global offset, added a buffer size to that offset, released the lock - read from the given offset in the file - created a new thread to do the same - exited The result is that cfq's close cooperator logic would trigger, as the threads were issuing I/O within the mean seek distance of one another. This workload managed to routinely trigger a use after free bug when walking the list of merge candidates for a particular cfqq (cfqq->new_cfqq). The logic used for merging queues looks like this: static void cfq_setup_merge(struct cfq_queue *cfqq, struct cfq_queue *new_cfqq) { int process_refs, new_process_refs; struct cfq_queue *__cfqq; /* Avoid a circular list and skip interim queue merges */ while ((__cfqq = new_cfqq->new_cfqq)) { if (__cfqq == cfqq) return; new_cfqq = __cfqq; } process_refs = cfqq_process_refs(cfqq); /* * If the process for the cfqq has gone away, there is no * sense in merging the queues. */ if (process_refs == 0) return; /* * Merge in the direction of the lesser amount of work. */ new_process_refs = cfqq_process_refs(new_cfqq); if (new_process_refs >= process_refs) { cfqq->new_cfqq = new_cfqq; atomic_add(process_refs, &new_cfqq->ref); } else { new_cfqq->new_cfqq = cfqq; atomic_add(new_process_refs, &cfqq->ref); } } When a merge candidate is found, we add the process references for the queue with less references to the queue with more. The actual merging of queues happens when a new request is issued for a given cfqq. In the case of the test program, it only does a single pread call to read in 1MB, so the actual merge never happens. Normally, this is fine, as when the queue exits, we simply drop the references we took on the other cfqqs in the merge chain: /* * If this queue was scheduled to merge with another queue, be * sure to drop the reference taken on that queue (and others in * the merge chain). See cfq_setup_merge and cfq_merge_cfqqs. */ __cfqq = cfqq->new_cfqq; while (__cfqq) { if (__cfqq == cfqq) { WARN(1, "cfqq->new_cfqq loop detected\n"); break; } next = __cfqq->new_cfqq; cfq_put_queue(__cfqq); __cfqq = next; } However, there is a hole in this logic. Consider the following (and keep in mind that each I/O keeps a reference to the cfqq): q1->new_cfqq = q2 // q2 now has 2 process references q3->new_cfqq = q2 // q2 now has 3 process references // the process associated with q2 exits // q2 now has 2 process references // queue 1 exits, drops its reference on q2 // q2 now has 1 process reference // q3 exits, so has 0 process references, and hence drops its references // to q2, which leaves q2 also with 0 process references q4 comes along and wants to merge with q3 q3->new_cfqq still points at q2! We follow that link and end up at an already freed cfqq. So, the fix is to not follow a merge chain if the top-most queue does not have a process reference, otherwise any queue in the chain could be already freed. I also changed the logic to disallow merging with a queue that does not have any process references. Previously, we did this check for one of the merge candidates, but not the other. That doesn't really make sense. Without the attached patch, my system would BUG within a couple of seconds of running the reproducer program. With the patch applied, my system ran the program for over an hour without issues. This addresses the following bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16217 Thanks a ton to Phil Carns for providing the bug report and an excellent reproducer.

| * block: ensure jiffies wrap is handled correctly in blk_rq_timed_out_timerRichard Kennedy2010-04-211-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_rq_timed_out_timer() relied on blk_add_timer() never returning a timer value of zero, but commit 7838c15b8dd18e78a523513749e5b54bda07b0cb removed the code that bumped this value when it was zero. Therefore when jiffies is near wrap we could get unlucky & not set the timeout value correctly. This patch uses a flag to indicate that the timeout value was set and so handles jiffies wrap correctly, and it keeps all the logic in one function so should be easier to maintain in the future.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_init_queue() allocates the request_queue structure and then initializes it as needed (request_fn, elevator, etc). Split initialization out to blk_init_allocated_queue_node. Introduce blk_init_allocated_queue wrapper function to model existing blk_init_queue and blk_init_queue_node interfaces. Export elv_register_queue to allow a newly added elevator to be registered with sysfs. Export elv_unregister_queue for symmetry. These changes allow DM to initialize a device's request_queue with more precision. In particular, DM no longer unconditionally initializes a full request_queue (elevator et al).

Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers. o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED. This option currently does two things. - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat files in cgroup. If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of all the additional debug stat files which is not desired. Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which can be enabled through config menu.

* | blkio: Fix another BUG_ON() crash due to cfqq movement across groupsVivek Goyal2010-04-263-26/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Once in a while, I was hitting a BUG_ON() in blkio code. empty_time was assuming that upon slice expiry, group can't be marked empty already (except forced dispatch). But this assumption is broken if cfqq can move (group_isolation=0) across groups after receiving a request. I think most likely in this case we got a request in a cfqq and accounted the rq in one group, later while adding the cfqq to tree, we moved the queue to a different group which was already marked empty and after dispatch from slice we found group already marked empty and raised alarm. This patch does not error out if group is already marked empty. This can introduce some empty_time stat error only in case of group_isolation=0. This is better than crashing. In case of group_isolation=1 we should still get same stats as before this patch. [ 222.308546] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [ 222.309311] kernel BUG at block/blk-cgroup.c:236!

The reason being that cfqq can migrate across groups based on its being sync-noidle or not, it can happen that at request insertion time, cfqq belonged to one cfqg and at request dispatch time, it belonged to root group. In this case request stats per cgroup can go wrong and it also runs into BUG_ON(). This patch implements rq stashing away a cfq group pointer and not relying on cfqq->cfqg pointer alone for rq stat accounting.

ERROR: "sched_clock" [block/blk-cgroup.ko] undefined! This happens because the two symbols aren't exported and hence not available when blk-cgroup code is built as a module. I've tried to stay consistent with the use of EXPORT_SYMBOL or EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL with the other symbols in the respective files.

* | block: ensure jiffies wrap is handled correctly in blk_rq_timed_out_timerRichard Kennedy2010-04-141-7/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_rq_timed_out_timer() relied on blk_add_timer() never returning a timer value of zero, but commit 7838c15b8dd18e78a523513749e5b54bda07b0cb removed the code that bumped this value when it was zero. Therefore when jiffies is near wrap we could get unlucky & not set the timeout value correctly. This patch uses a flag to indicate that the timeout value was set and so handles jiffies wrap correctly, and it keeps all the logic in one function so should be easier to maintain in the future.

| | * cfq-iosched: Fix the incorrect timeslice accounting with forced_dispatchDivyesh Shah2010-04-091-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CFQ dispatches requests forcefully due to a barrier or changing iosched, it runs through all cfqq's dispatching requests and then expires each queue. However, it does not activate a cfqq before flushing its IOs resulting in using stale values for computing slice_used. This patch fixes it by calling activate queue before flushing reuqests from each queue. This is useful mostly for barrier requests because when the iosched is changing it really doesnt matter if we have incorrect accounting since we're going to break down all structures anyway. We also now expire the current timeslice before moving on with the dispatch to accurately account slice used for that cfqq.
